Hey @JeepRushRick, Congratulations on the retirement-I am actually in Geneva, small world. The trip from Chicago to CO/UT is a really nice one and I recommend you contact the regional folks in that area. For sure Southern Utah (the National Parks are incredible but get very crowded so be...

Beware the poorly made copyright infringement product, they have a way of biting you when you least expect it.

Well done-looks like you put some thought into it.

Yep, this one will consume some time!

I don't know about the Oztent, Springbar type tents and the stakes they require but I have used MSR Groundhog stakes for years and love them. Might be too small for the larger canvas tents though.

If you want to see some dutch oven cooking check out my youtube channel Dickin' Around Outdoors where I have posted up some cooking videos.

Yep, normally there are potatoes and I bet some ham or chorizo would be good. I was wanting something a bit different and trying to keep it a bit lighter and less "mountain man breakfast".

Not looking to start a comparison of the two or which is better so just a question. I see the lugs on the corners to hold them in place when stacked are different on the two boxes-does anyone know if they will work with one another, i.e. will they stack on each other just fine despite the...

The most recent purchase was the Woody Dutch Oven which is a square aluminum dutch oven which is, essentially, also two square 9 inch fry pans. These are "legendary" ovens from the canoe crowd and I am in the process of lightening up my kit for use in the JKU. I am still playing with it so don't...

I am intrigued by the Gazelle tents but have not pulled the trigger as they seem to be (from the pictures) designed for fair weather i.e. small rain fly, hight sides etc. How do these perform when the wind starts howling and the thunderstorms come rolling through? I currently use a Marmot 4...

This is some really good information-makes me want to go back and spend more time!

Morning all-If you are looking for a great option for any time of the day, and meatless to boot if that matters to you, I just put up my new video. This is a Spanish Tortilla a in the dutch oven and it is really, really tasty. I hope you enjoy.

We picked up that tradition when living in OK. Never thought about using Spam but thinkI have to try that!

I have always been curious about the durability of ceramic knives.

I see Sierra Trading has a couple of the Alpine Start coffees on sale-not sure if the price is something special or if shipping kills the bargain but if it works and you want to try it here is the link-...

There is some great information here. I think, at the end of the day, that a person just needs to be clear on what he axe will be used for and then look for axes that fit the bill. I know that is not earth shattering insight but my Fiskars X25 is better at splitting wood at the campsite than my...

Interesting info on the warranty and change of handle composition. i have an X25 which may be the older style since the handle is entirely black but it has served me well and generally splits the firewood with little effort. Nice to know if it fails they are there to stand behind it. On the...

I have done the same and agree 100%-the sanding down (I don't take it to metal, just smooth it out) makes it night and day as to the seasoning of a pre-seasoned Lodge pan.

I tried that Flaxseed Sheryl Canter style. Not sure if my oven got too hot but the stuff just flaked off so I threw that one out. Perhaps if I had used 450-500 instead of 550 it would have worked better.

I love Spam and always have-I had a boss from Hawaii who would marinate in soy sauce (can you say sodium!) and then would use it in Spam sushi rolls...swore it was to die for.
