    Non Lethal self protection

    This goes right along with: "I don't have to out run the bear, just have to out run you."

    Non Lethal self protection

    I agree with what you are saying. The situation that goes that step beyond is when another is threatened and you can't get close enough. I can carry lethal (even concealed) yet exploring options and finding this HDR50 may have that.

    Non Lethal self protection

    Grubworm's post is protecting only ones self and abandoning all else. No even a thought for me as it may be for him.. Now, I have no intention of using 'rubber' ammo. Pepper spray has possible use, yet the ammo available and proper shooting will stop anyone. Or at least incapacitate enough to...

    Non Lethal self protection

    That's where the baton comes in. Yet at 30ft... no so much

    Non Lethal self protection

    Really hope for some real info here. I hope not to begin a debate if you should carry, yet those that do, can place some advise on what and what they use. What's your every trip carry? I'll start with I have a baton, a bat, a walking stick (1.5 ash). I'm seriously considering a Umarex HDR 50.

    2024 East Coast Overland Trip (FEELER)

    Quite a bit of pavement and easy route-arounds if needed. As we in the Nor'east start frost season and parts of the MABDR being of elevation, I'd not just assume it would still be easy. I'd expect some of those back country roads (tar or not) to be greasy. Hopefully a local will pipe up and...

    Camp shower?

    Check me on this. I believe I can restrict flow post heater and not effect pressure down stream of the heater. I believe I may increase psi to the heater by doing this. My pump is =/> the heater minimum so good there, yet flow rate is high. Want to decrease flow rate. I have a shower head...

    Camp shower?

    Our current 'cold water' shower limits us to a gallon (okay 2 for her). Reality is it's a rinse. This is what we're missing as we weekly (4-5days) stay at a place with showers. Typically the place sucks and we can't wait to get out of there. This brings in so much! Of course the first words...

    Camp shower?

    I bought the unit. Arrives just about on our return from the short run we're doing. Gives me 2 weeks to mount and play with it a bit before we head out again for a bit longer. Thank you all! Safe Travels!

    Camp shower?

    I assumed what you confirmed. Just wanted to be sure. Far more than I ever thought! Seems I'll run out of water far earlier than propane. My plan is to dedicate my 2 6g Jerry cans. I guess I'm lucky or water is getting harder to find, yet traveling I always seem to find some. I'll also use...

    Camp shower?

    No worries, you didn't. Your unit has is under Electrolux who imports parts (and units) from several areas around the world including China. Paying a lot does not mean quality. Thank you for the a report on 1lb bottle use.

    Camp shower?

    You say 'we', as in you bth took that amount of showers or that's the total combined. Doing some averaging of long shower to Navy, works out to ~50-60 showers on maybe 5lbs.. Be that number being both of you, then nearly 100-120 showers! Either way, more that I thought! Depending.. May get...

    Camp shower?

    I forgot to ask... How much fuel did you go through? My hope is get a few showers from a 1lb bottle. Maybe two?? What did/do you use for a tank?

    Camp shower?

    Gotta ya on all of this and thank you for an honest opinion. I have on-demand at the house, so I get cold (cooler) coming first. I figure to remove the batteries as we travel (or not in use) and place as we need to use it. I figure this is one of those fill a couple 6g water cans and have a...

    Camp shower?

    Found a better unit and with discount very close in price, only this one states 3lbs minimal to run and has the regulator. 1.0GPM propane water heater

    Camp shower?

    The pricing is getting better all the time! Here's another one I'm looking at: 1.6 GPM tankless water heter Anyone using a unit like this? Can I use a 1lb bottle? My feeling is it needs a pump (though not stated) or pressurized water source..
