Not a Jeep install, but something of interest to anyone that wants more counter space in their camp kitchen. I'm in the middle of a "remodel" and this is phase one. New cooler slide and fold-down table. This will be used for firing up the JetBoil for tea, making sandwiches or anytime I need a...

The Skottle could very well be a fad, just like the Beatles. People didn't get them either at first. Yet, as the Skottle or similar cooking devices have been around cultures in Central America, South America and Africa since the coming of the iron age it is a fairly long lived fad. Those...

I love the Skottle for both group and solo camping. Once you get the hang of it, it's kind of fun to cook on. I use it mostly for fajitas, breakfast tacos, hashbrowns, or similar fare that I'm cooking for a group, but you can cook just about anything you would normally do in a frying pan. I can...

Coming up on a year with my Off-Grid Engineering set up and love it. No fuss, no worries. Keeps my Engel cooler running 24/7/365. Not inexpensive, but an easy install and looks like it came from the factory. When you add up all the bits this system looks pretty reasonable.

Then roll in anytime. Homemade cookies every Saturday... if you're into that kind of thing. Be sure to introduce yourself. Just ask for Joel.

I can swing by earlier, but the Fly Fishing Film Tour is in town that Saturday and I'm hosting a "Pre-Party" at the shop. I may roll in, say hello and beat feet to open up and get things set up. If anyone wants a chunk of cake after the meet-up we normally have plenty of leftovers....and it's...

Doing a kitchen remodel in the 4runner so Santa brought me a new stove. I'm not a big fan of the dark days of winter, so he hooked me up with replacement fogs and a pair of floods to make backing up my boats easier in the dark. Of course, since I have to wire in the floods on the Gobi Rack...

Merry Christmas to all!

Anything in a tortilla or flatbread. Breakfast tacos, chicken fajitas, shrimp fajitas, fish tacos, ham and cheese wraps...cuts down on dishwashing or paper plates. I even toss a salad into a heart healthy wrap with some cold grilled chicken...Huevos rancheros is the only thing I make that really...

Drove over to the Deschutes yesterday to photograph Bighorn Sheep. The little buggers were bedded down on a cliff face and wouldn't come out to play. I went fishing for a little while, then went back to check on them and they were gone. Nowhere to be seen. I found this guy hanging out alongside...

I would bring a group every year to enjoy the fishing and food, but quit when Hugo passed and things got complicated....The Vzla people have always been very friendly, but it takes a seasoned traveler to feel comfortable now. Keep in touch via messages! I have a couple friends in Caracas and on...

I miss my friends in Los Roques and the evenings spent watching the sun set while enjoying a good meal. I really miss the bonefishing and I would love to explore the rest of the country, but not at present. Be safe!

It's my favorite time of year on the Deschutes. Fishing is winding down and few people visit the lower canyon. The Bighorn sheep sneak down to the river to drink and feed on the fresh greenery that is popping up from the recent rains. It's the perfect time to photograph them. This wasn't the...

Yes. I wouldn't take it to Cuba, Russia or Venezuela, North Korea or other places where they shoot/detain spies, but most countries would be fine. I've used it in Canada and Mexico and will take it to the Yucatan this spring.... note that hitting the SOS button could be slightly more expensive...

I'm going on two years with the InReach Explorer. I use it several times a month and have zero complaints. I have rented Sat Phones for travel to Christmas Island or other OTG locations, but for mainland backcountry travel the InReach works great. There are times where the unit does not ping my...

Last week I hosted four anglers on the John Day River with two of my friends/guides. As I was the odd man out I brought my own drift boat and tagged along on the three day drift. Being able to bring my cold weather gear and a few "extras" in my boat was handy as temps dropped into the 20s. The...

2236 Miles, 1000+ Bison, 289 Elk, 10 days, 5 states and one fun road trip.... Where to next?

Planning my next adventure...think I'll go fishing.

Just 2236 miles of mud, dust and snow. Cleaned it off yesterday when I got home. Now ready for the next adventure!
