    Grandpa's Military Footlocker turned Chuck Box! ~ Project w/ Pics

    After getting the chuck box in the Xterra that pretty much tossed the idea of having the cutting board on the side of the lid.

    Grandpa's Military Footlocker turned Chuck Box! ~ Project w/ Pics

    Alright guys, I've got it mounted or "mocked up" for now. Still running some thoughts on the anchor points. This is the general idea tho. The cutting board will be permanently mounted where it is now on a hinge that will raise up to access the cookstove underneath and utensils. It will lock...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    It was quite intense and surreal all at the same time. Losing 4 1/2 pints of blood in 30 minutes gets you about as close to your creator without going to the other side. I'm still around for a reason and I will always protect and promote our 2nd Amendment rights....The framers put that in...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Photography

    I love photography! We have a Canon DSLR something..I can't remember. LOL. We also use our phones and tablets, just depends on what's on our person at the time. This was taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway, probably one of my favorites! To me it screams America!

    Portable Toilets? Why's and Why Nots!

    With what you said and having experience using the 5 gallon bucket system and now considering upgraded to a flushable system gives me reason to believe starting out with the flushable setup.

    I like that idea, but the cookstove takes up the entire top when the propane is attached. I took your idea and now trying to figure out a way to incoporate a cutting board on the side. Lol

    Grandpa's Military Footlocker turned Chuck Box! ~ Project w/ Pics

    Ideas have been rolling through my head about Repurposing my Grandpa's old Military Footlocker into our Rig plans. I wanted to use it in a fashion that would honor and give me remembrance of him every time we are out wandering! He was my role model growing up, always went fishing together and...

    Portable Toilets? Why's and Why Nots!

    Im still leaning towards a PT also! Mainly because my wife can't get past the idea of doing bathroom time on a bucket or in a plastic bag. She was farming tobacco and driving tractors before she was 10, she ain't no girly girl by no means...some things just make her put the brakes on. I think...

    Portable Toilets? Why's and Why Nots!

    As we continue to build out our rig some questions arise. Thinking about creature comforts at home and wanting to make our trips more enjoyable the conversation of a flushable portable toilet came up. Who uses them? What's the pros and cons? We know we can go squat down behind a tree and all...
