They work fairly well; I used them as an Army cook in the early 80s. They kept the food hot for the ride from the mess hall to the firing range, etc., at lunchtime.

I'll keep an eye out for the trip report; I'm considering doing at least part of it next year.

I wear these (minimalist thula thulas) everywhere, every day. I have 4 pair: short & tall of both the all leather (cold weather) and fabric sides (warm weather). Extremely comfortable, because they're custom.

I think the answer to this question should start with, "Where are you going?" Machetes are good for clearing southern brush (kudzu, etc.), but not much use out west. There you need something to process larger wood, such as a saw and a hatchet or knife for batonning. I also have a WWII-era...

Greetings, All! I moved to Helena from Virginia last October, and am looking forward for better weather to get out and about.

Thanks. That was a "Plan B". I'm going to shop for short ones now.

I don't know if this is more appropriate here or in Rig Q&A. I remember seeing a video or article once about a pickup-based vehicle build that had a Road Shower installed sideways on a Front Runner rack. Does anyone know anything about this build, or what kind of hardware would work (or maybe...

Steelcore straps might be something you could look at. They lock, and you can get multiples keyed alike. steelcore.com

Good question. How: I think there's a loop at one end, so just pull the end through a hole and through the loop. Where: One of the corners. If and when: When I need to use them, if it's boggy or messy enough I may lose sight of them. I don't want the leashes flapping in the wind on top of...

I must try this.

You want tough? Check out Fuse Chicken. (www.fusechicken.com) Steel-wrapped. I have a couple of the thick short ones (Lightning & micro-USB), and a longer, thinner, more flexible one for iPhone.

I got some matte wrap material that's dark blue, as close as I could find to my paint color. It came with cutting thread tape; it should be interesting getting it installed once the weather warms up.

In the course of my quest for knowledge, I have read threads about tire pressures that describe how they've aired down the vehicle tires for different conditions. So far, so good. When they say they've aired down their trailer tires as well, a large imaginary question mark appears over my...

Has anyone installed an ARB twin air compressor under the hood, with just a local on/off switch? I'm looking at an alternative to running the switch into the dashboard. I have a couple of simple waterproof switches I got for future light installs, and thought that might work for the air as...

Not many. All product stickers are on a cabinet in the garage.

Nice gear from South Africa. Allows you to air up/down two tires at once. Makes sure they're the same. It seems robust enough for long use.

I'm using a ProClip Console Mount with a Ram Mount base screwed into it. Two arms with a two-ball connector in between. Ram Mount EZ-Roll'r cradle for my iPad Mini 4. Can adjust height by length of the arms.

I like Ronny Dahl's videos a lot; I support him on Patreon, as well as 4XOverland.

Well, my first attempt was a new 2003 Discovery. That eventually cost me lots of money fixing the engine every six months; it was too unreliable, so it had to go. I'd started fixing it up, too, with OME shocks, and bigger tires. After a few years in a commuter 4x4 (X3), I decided I wanted a...

I'm assuming electrics (2nd battery charger, controller, etc.) are Base Camp Gear. I'm contemplating/designing my future power setup for my '16 LC. There's not a lot of room in the engine bay for much, so I'm thinking about mounting my charger/controller modules (CTEK) on the front of my...
