    Otzi Portable Grill/ fireplace

    Thanks for the review. Seems like a cool little grill. How long did the steaks sit on the grill until you took them off? Did it take a while or was close to normal time for those wonderful looking fat juicy steaks?

    Ground Tent camping on overland trips

    Gazelle Tent, I'm a true believer. Best tent I've every owned. Easy setup, weights a ton less than a RTT, cost a ton less than a RTT, spacious, ability to stand up, durable, and just cool looking.

    What do you use for weather forecast?

    I have long depended on the weather rock. :) Kidding aside, the man with two watches doesn't know what time it is. I suggest you pick one and go with it. The weather will always do what it wants to do regardless of what us humans trying to tell it to do.

    Spot X or Garmin InReach Mini ?

    I have used the in-reach for years. The texting feature allows my daughter with type 1 diabetes to go on trips and keeping mom informed of numbers.

    Fridge&Freezer recommendations

    I've used the ARB, SnoMaster and Dometic. - I like the ARB for simple/short trips that just needed a fridge; great design, sips electricity, and the removable lid is a bonus. Have found that food on top stays cool and the food on bottom can freeze. So I've used to my advantage (before I bought...

    That's funny and terrible at the same time. It sounds like you survived and made it back safely.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    I just had a Long Range Aux (LRA) tank installed on my 4Runner. I went to BBRSP and off-roaded for 5 days and still had 17 gallons left over when I pulled into Marfa. Years past, I always had to take 3 rota-pax to do the same trip.

    Propane Bottle Mounts- Show Us Yours

    I attached mine to my rear swing-out. It makes it convenient to access for cooking. I'm not a sticker kind of guy, at least not on my vehicle. But I did decide to place a few on my propane bottle.
