    Let them eat SPAM!

    I am now on a mission to visit the Spam museum in Austin, MN where I hear you are able to buy the myriad of flavors available. It is a staple of our camping pantry and that article gave me some new ideas for camp-how about military stew in a dutch oven!

    Great Stocking Stuffers

    Morning all, As we head into the Christmas season I put together a YouTube video highlighting some of my favorite stocking stuffers for campers and overlanders. The most expensive item on the list is $65 (Mora bushcraft black) and all are super handy little items. If you want to check it out...

    simple kitchen ideas

    You pretty much hit the nail on the head here-you cook for one and used to backpack-so in my mind why not use the same system or upgrade what is a limiting factor. You have a butane stove that seems to work for you but is pretty limited on what it can do-meaning only small pinpoint flame that is...

    simple kitchen ideas

    We pack in a Jeep JK as well. When you are building out your kitchen there are certainly some considerations. How many people are you cooking for, what do you like to eat, will you be cooking over fire etc. Once you have that down then you can start looking at gear. I have both white gas and...

    Bigfoot

    I have never seen Bigfoot but I will stand up in a court of law and state that our group watched a UFO flying around during a trip to Quetico a couple of dozen years ago!

    Wolf And Grizzly Cook Set-

    I am not sure how many folks here have/use the Wolf and Grizzly M1 grill but I think it is a very well made cooking surface for camping. With that in mind I backed their new Cook Set on Kickstarter a while back and have been able to finally put it to the test. I put up two videos, the unboxing...

    Camp Bread In A Dutch Oven

    Let us know if you make it and what you think. The bread at camp in a dutch oven is always a winner!

    Do whiskey and cigars count as two of the food groups?

    Bourbon Cheesesteaks on the iKamper Disco Series

    This has been a while but I did see the iKamper version at Expo West, so they do exist. Here is information from their website. Looks like they are gonna be pricey. "Sign up for our Pre-Order Notification and get $100 off the retail price + 2 bonus items ($50 value). Pre-orders start on...

    Super interested in knowing more

    Sounds like your truck will be in great shape. First thing I would add is communications and if going solo probably a ham and in reach type device if things go sideways. Good research and mapping tools as well.

    Storing Portable Power Station

    I am no expert but I recall reading that it is not good for the battery to fully discharge. I keep mine charged when stored.

    What's in your driveway and what is your overlanding vehicle strategy?

    We have a 2015 JKU Rubicon with a 3.5 inch AEV lift and a 2010 Ford Raptor bone stock. Both are daily drivers and are comfortable for long hauls that are put into camp service depending so all or our gear must be interchangeable. Now that I am retired I am considering a dedicated overlander but...

    Griddle and camp recipes

    Late response but I think of a griddle as simply a larger fry pan-so anything that can be fried or sautéed works. I normally use a griddle for fried veggies, smash burgers, breakfast (think pancakes, bacon, eggs and scramble for burritos). If you have room take a wok lid (or any heat safe bowl)...

    Overland GPS - Garmin Overlander

    We have one and used it on our last trip (first time) but I still don't seem to get the gist of downloading trails and routes, so gotta keep figuring that out. We ended up using Gaia and Trails Offroad linked to the InReach. I

    Outdoor cooking

    @grubworm nailed it-even toast when topped with avocado seems to be gourmet meal these days-I tried avocado toast with a fried egg topped with chili crisp and it was delicious!
