Arrived today. Solo Bonfire. My first experience with the Bonfire was at the Mardi Crawl this March(?). Temps were in the high 30's, super windy and it rained non stop the whole weekend. Miserable conditions. But the guys camped across from us had a Solo Bonfire. The rain could not put it...

Gear manufacturers, retail outlets, and internet providers should stay neutral on all political issues. Period. I don't want to know how much you care or feel about an issue (virtue signalling), spend your time making a great product at a fair price. The minute their politics are rammed in my...

Just back from north Georgia and first use of the stove. Well, it boils water in about 2 1/2 minutes and simmers well for keeping your coffee hot. Struggled with the latch releasing, and finally figured out that the 2 metal rods for securing the wind deflectors must be stored all the way to the...

It is the Lowes trailer. Be aware they put them on sale about every 2 to 3 months...saves about $50.

I've been wanting a Cook Partner stove for a while, but, what I really wanted was compact and durable. Well now I have it...the Partner one burner stove. It's a compact 12 1/2" wide x 9 1/2" deep x 3" tall, but still extremely sturdy at about 7lbs. OK4WD has them for $209. It's going with me on...

I did an axle over, put 13" tires and rims, front wheel jack, 2 rear leveler jacks, and bearing buddies. It's been on 2 road trips so far...about 1800 miles total. It tows like a dream (75mph highway easy) and with my FJ, I don't really see any loss in gas mileage. I can load a cooler, 3...

You mean something like this?

Nice. We should've stayed longer and I did NOT want to leave Colorado last month. Well...next year.

Had a problem with the metal screen wearing holes in gear...chairs, canopy etc., from the vibration. It was like stuff was being sandpapered. Went to Tractor Supply and found Stall Mats. They come in 2 sizes and 2 thicknesses. I got one in 3' x 4', 1/2" thick. It covers most of the floor and on...

I use this for my RTT. Holds several Rubbermaid totes and the lawn chairs. I've taken it on 1 trip so far, over a 1000 miles, and it performed flawlessly. Base cost was $450 from Lowes. I've added leveling jacks, front wheel jack, done an axle over for more clearance, and put larger 13"...

Nice and secluded

We just got back from Grand Lake(west entrance to RMNP) 2 weeks ago. It was beautiful. Willow Creek, Arapaho Bay, Cutthroat Bay and Sunset Point are on the lake and minutes from the west entrance. Run by the Arapaho Nat Forest and the BLM with camping fee $21 to $24. One of my favorite...

'07 that just hit 225K this summer. Ozarks. In Big Bend Leaving for Colorado last month. The FJ started out bone stock but earlier this year put on a set of Cooper AT3's, TRD suspension, and TRD cold air intake and exhaust, and a tranny cooler. Then we added a storage cabinet and ARB...

I've yet to use it with Butane, but it works great with Propane. Boils a quart of water in about 2 1/2 minutes. It even simmers pretty good.

Leatherman bought back in the early '90's. So long ago I don't even remember the model number. It stays in my day pack (Maxpedition Falcon II) which goes with me every day. This thing will outlive me.

I have the regular Smittybilt RTT. It has done well so far with about 20 nights camping in the last 18 months. Beware of the straps...they are crap and break easily so don't tug too hard on them. I will eventually replace them all. We took up the mattress and cut to size some Dow foam...

This is a rechargeable lantern with a lithium battery. I charged it when 1st new last summer and have used it on several trips. It still has a full charge. On low you can get up to 500 hours of run time. Puts out 210 lumens. Charges by USB cable, attached. (can be charged from a solar panel...
