    Mr. Buddy Heater Question - Outdoor Use, Dispersed Camping

    If you want to be warm outside, you'll need a fire and/or layers. If it's windy, create a windbreak using your vehicle or rocks or anything you can stack. Also depending on how windy, I probably wouldn't make a wood fire due to wildfire danger. This is where your Ignik fire pit comes in handy...

    Planning a trip to Mammoth, CA

    Check out Bodie Ghost town, and there is dispersed camping along the Bodie Masonic Road. A couple of cool spots at the north end too. You all should be able to get up Copper Mountain and camp near the top too. There are quite a few roads out there and such that you'll all be fine. The area...

    Hey Ken, we can move it earlier (also my preference) from 10-12, if that works better.

    How to shop for a truck camper

    There lots of options. You can go with a pop-up topper like Ovrlnd, Alu-cab, Harker, etc. There a lot of makers and I'm sure there is one relatively local to you. The thing with most of these is you have to build out the interiors. They are basically a shell with a bed platform. Then you have...

    Summer Heat Camping? Yes or No?

    Was in Death Valley last week. About the hottest I’ll ever be in. At about 10:30pm, it was still 113°F at like 1500ft elevation. Probably the roughest night I’ve ever experienced camping. I had to dunk my t-shirt and a towel in my ice chest every hour or so to stay cool.
