Todd & Meg, just a thought (me thinking outloud here)... I'd be a little bit hesitant to use the high heat + wok combination inside a teardrop - or for that matter under the hinged rear kitchen access door (design i typically see). Reason? The amount of released moisture and food/oil vapors...

I have the equivalent cook set but from MSR vs Snow Peak. Found them either too small or typically unused which led me to use one of our in-home woks I already owned. Haven't regretted the wok addition - ever! Best of luck!

By the way, about a steel wok, never use soap or detergent! I deglaze, while still hot, with a splash of water followed by a quick scrub with a stiff natural brush and/or, in a pinch, a 4"x6" piece of stainless steel chain-mail. That is all the cleaning required and this practice retains the...

I use and carry a black steel wok and one low sided skillet for my kitchen kit. I previously carried several pots from my former light-weight backpacking days. But after adding the wok and realizing that, after several trips, I was using the wok 90% of the time as both a skillet and pot, i...

One final thought on your posted shopping/wish list. You might want to check w others about the air compressor you selected on Amazon. The one identified is, I think, a little light weight. I'd suggest doing a google search for recommeded compressors for 4 wheeling. Duty cycle is critical...

Sorry if my earlier comment was a bit critical. In thinking back, the brush guard isnt a make or break issue. For me, at this point, I just try to focus on weight reduction for trail performance and gas milage for my travels. As an almost obsessive trait, I consistently review everything I...

Jeff, thank you for the kind words in you post. I wish I had it down to a science LoL Good to hear from you regardless. Also glad to hear you're thinking of a repeat trip - perhaps with a little less rain. I believe most of the gated roads are closed so that the trails-tracks won't get so...

I hear ya! Both trips (cover all the bases), from those folks I've met who are Toy owners I can't recall ever hearing or feeling anyone who remotely seemed "exclusive" about the brand. Of course there are always exceptions but my guess is that if I did show up in June in a different brand no...

I've never been to Talladega so that may be pretty interesting too Just let me know which seems better for you and I'll probably show up

Since I'm retired I'll probably shop and fill the pantry bin and cooler for a 3 nite - 4 day trip and plan to come back on Tuesday. I much prefer mid-week so i can avoid the much higher traffic over the weekends. You know how it is living in or near a large city. If you think its a good idea...

Hey Quad, I'm thinking of planning a camping trip in May and the dates you state as open on your calendar 5/12-15 could work for me and possibly my wife. Do you have any routes or areas picked out for yourself? Please make a note, if it matters, that I'm a little older than you (bald face...

Welcome on board, hope you enjoy the outings and craziness! I like your 4Runner but personally I'd lose the brushguard on the front end. The added 150# weight isn't going to give you much in return. If we lived in Texas or Oklahoma and you were driving through the brush and hedges/cactus...

Good luck with the clutch and shocks, is that going to by a DIY or are you going to use a shop... either is fine with me, not judging here. Shocks are much easier as DIY, the clutch is a more difficult task but it can be done at home with a "few" good tools, patience, YOUTUBE, and a good friend...

I've spent just around 50 years camping with ground tents (from big cabin tents in campgrounds in family mode, to 2-3 person backpacking tents, even single bivy bags when I go solo) and also quite a bit of hammock camping (again while hiking & backpacking). My wife and I have used our vehicle...

As Silverback said the Piedmont WMA is a fine set of gravel roads with little development. However they do restrict camping to one or two locations inside the WMA. And the sites are "cowboy" camping with no toilets, water, and no electrical hook up... which is fine for many but not always...

Welcome, IMO, you could do a lot of exploring on forest service roads in cental and northerern GA which include many campsites and miles of scenic drives using your Rodeo. All before you start sinking all your funds into a 'build'. That would give you at least a season to get your camping...

My wife and I made this run from Ft. Huachuca all the way to Yuma (East to West). Brien's input is perfectly accurate. We were traveling as a single vehicle and loved every minute of the trip. We did see mutiple Border Patrol vehicles and most times we'd stop and provide the Agent with our...

Will do!

Hi Scott, welcome to OB. I'm down in Atlanta but do get up your way during spring wildflower bloom for some hiking, camping, and migratory bird watching.

Welcome! I like the look of the Montero myself... just couldn't find one it Atlanta at the right price point - then ran across a deal I couldn't pass up. So now I'm running a Ford Ranger PU and have been very pleased with it so far.
