    Plates and bowls, let's overthink this together

    I stole this image from a listing on eBay, but I have like 6 full sets of these Korean War era Army mess kits. You can't go wrong with one of these and it'll never get old.

    Can I camp here?

    Insurance for modifications

    I know all these threads just got revived but since I never saw them the first time: I have USAA, they did not care that I was offroading and at my own negligence ran into a tree. :tearsofjoy: I paid my deductible and that was that. Ended up getting a new bed, welded, painted, mounted, new...
