I have to believe that your neat little creation is a flat bed for a reason - race car hauler, war canoe hauler, log truck for new strip boat creations... nice stuff there and I believe your young friend's imagination will lead to some cool loads for the truck and trailer. Assembly required...

Stunning scenery...awesome trip! First thing that comes to my mind when seeing the meadows and road area is the potential wisdom of pulling a pulk or toboggan and taking some of the load off your back until you get more into the forest or the steeps. Do you mostly ski to your ultimate...

While using vinegar to wipe up or down smal spills, drips and everything that gets a smudge or two...a caution on metal tools, especially old ones.* You might think of cleaning, then wiping down once the epoxy is cleaned off, with a mild soap and water solution then a dab of WD-40 or cooking...

That seems to be more a case of the wrong plastic bottle for the wrong product...I have two bottles of vinegar on my shelves right now that are off brand and plastic...one is a good 4 years old and not soft or deformed in any way. Plenty of places on a work bench where melting bottles would...

Back in the day, Eddie Bauer had some down gear that was high on my list...but for the last 20+ years they definetely went the upper income lifestyle route. And the mass market shopping mall and outlet mall route...no surprise as that is where corporate sales growth and profit necessarily...

In my inbox this morning...35% off Duluth Packs and apparel. No doubt the sale is time limited and probably has some time limitations and some items probably are not eligible, but a quick glance showed many packs that were. Good deal if you are looking and thinking...free shipping offer to...

I've two canvas tents w side wall stove jacks, plus my Snowtrekker... so side venting is just fine with me. I keep the same Kni-co pipe length that came with both stoves (one is 4" diameter, one is 5" and have used the std top cap w a round of hardware cloth inside to catch any sparks (just as...

Nice work Robin and I know your grandson will really treasure your gift. I guess I have to go back and see about that wood burning and stenciling...my own boxes could use some similar northwoods embellishments.

I don't have a reflector oven, but my old Coleman folding bake oven should take care of a batch of these just fine...thanks for sharing!

Coldfeet would have to buy a new car just to fit in a double barrel stove...! Even if it was the size of the typical sheet metal stove. Pounds and cubic inches of size really on the man hauling plastic sleds and I suppose for a large group over an extended time, maybe pulling the load with a...

My brother has PIAA HIDs on his Tacoma...they are astonishingly bright, but they are not good for roads w any oncoming traffic on them, plus it takes a few seconds to energize the lights from being turned off. If you are going LED, make sure your light array says it has a combination of flood...

Four Dogs are a heavier in weight and heavier duty stove than the Kni-Cos. Not sure if you'd get a longer burn out of a Four Dog, but you'd get longer life typically. Four Dogs are also quite a bit more expensive and don't wait for a shipping promo...not going to happen. And all night heat...

Thanks for the heads up! Upgrades are behind the scenes technical stuff or things we'll see when we read or post?

Red: now you're talking. A nice hot tent will open up new horizons and possibilities for you - boating, camping, hunting, whatever... There are some fellow fanatics here on CT and there'll no doubt be some new postings on the winter camping page Robin set up last year. Winter Trekking...

A lovely camp you had there, Robin! I especially enjoyed the big lake view...love that country up there. Too bad about the temps...I can't remember a fall in CT where I live where I had the windows open and the heat off for so many weeks in October. My big wall tent has the stove jack on the...

Nice job getting all that done with some very motivated friends...! You're lucky to have such hardworking talented friends to go all in with you on the build out. Fine looking building that you'll have many hours of fun in once it's completed. Did you ever figure out who it was that short...

Me too, Coldfeet had just sent me a text flyer on that. Not sure what's involved in running it; upkeep, site administration, getting minimal paid ads, etc but like this site, it's a wonderful and trusted resource of like minded individuals (and the greater community) that is not seen on many...

...and sometimes you don't need a camera to finally see what has been making a racket off in the woods...they (a black bear) comes into your camp in the dark and steals your food bag (happened 2 years ago in the ADKs) as your back is turned and comes back again, more aggressively. And you...

Two that immediately come to mind. Years of camping on family land in the Sierra Nevada mountains near Yosemite NP. Good memories, great and some awful weather, scary memories, stunning scenery in each point of the compass, lots of great adventures and lifetimes of experiences and direction...

Holmes375 - Those are some great (more great pics of that area) pictures you shared... how the Grand Tetons change through the seasons, from the vibrant greens of summer, to the rich fall colors of willow, cottonwood and aspen - and those mountains...never get tired of looking at pics or from...
