The American Red Cross still offers 1st aid/cpr classes. A call to your local chapter should get you the schedule. The ambulance service where I used to live also offers 1st aid/cpr/1st responder classes. Ours was associated with the District Hospital. If yours isn't a private service, they...

Based on some discussion on another thread, I reconsidered one of my principle methods to feed myself out in the hills. The following are some information sources. A lot I've done and some I want to try. For your consideration...

I was introduced to this one at 6th Grade Camp, A.K.A. Outdoor school. It's easier to paste this recipe than write it up myself http://www.paddlinglight.com/articles/tutorial/how-to-cook-bannock-on-a-stick-campfire-bread/ Another is to just use buttermilk biscuit in a tube mix. I ball up a...

When I'm done using my hot dog stick, I usually just throw it in the fire. If I'm doing a group operation we usually use paper plates. As for what needs washed, I'm a fan of Camp Suds because: 1 a little goes a long way 2 it's bio degradable 3 it works well in hot or cold water As for water...

I'm with Todd, if you're unequipped to remodel, I'll bet somewhere in your part of the Treasure Valley is a cabinet shop that will understand how to redo camper cabinets and bench. If yours is like mine, (mines an 89) just redoing the cabinet fronts will fix your door problem. Good Luck...

Liked the photos, loved the video. It's ok if that seems out of order. I sometimes read books starting toward the end too. Thanks for the opportunity to live a little, vicariously. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Impressive. Your new hobby appears to fit you well. Congratulations on having your life in order enough to fully engage your interests. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Work Truck options? Cruise control, A/C, Tilt wheel At my place of employment we buy through fleet programs almost exclusively and that's how we option them. That option set usually gets you power door locks too, but not always. According to our fleet mgr. it's those features that also make...

IIRC there are a couple posts on here describing rear awning solutions. I can,t find the standard search feature using IPad, or I'd have taken a stab finding them. Maybe trying a search will turn them up. Good luck as a rear awning is something I really need to do too. Sent from my iPad...

On the rare occasion I've frequented a campground I've been allowed to use a tent site as all the regular hook up sites were taken. The only caveat was I had to be able to fully fit in it. The beauty of it was I only paid the tent site rate. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

You definitely want to support the floor of any FWC if you plan to use off the truck. The "2X" approach is one way. 5 gallon buckets are another, though on a 8ft FWC I'd opt to use 6. Another is either 3 sawhorses or 2 sawhorses and some 8ft 2x4's or the like. I suppose for a few days if...

Fortunately at 5'10" and a modified front bench I can sleep across it and don't use the cab over that much in my Grandby. I need to get a bed extension built too. The east/west sleeping and no H20 heater are the only downsides for my FWC compared to my previous motor home. Sent from my iPad...

If your fridge decision is the about your last one to wrestle with I'll chime in. As already mentioned the more cubic inches the better IMO. I can't think of a time someone said they have too much fridge. The beauties of a 3 way are: 1 typically a lower acquisition price 2 lower demand/no...

Maybe it's my iPad but when I touch either the Link or HERE I go to the frame post already mentioned. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Congratulations on succeeding at something many accomplish only in their minds. Enjoy the venture and thanks for what you've shared thus far. The photos are awesome. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

As I can again connect to the virtual word, I'll share.... Mine is both a comment to a life I've tried to lead, a tribute of sorts to someone I think did and stolen from a guy who arguably did. My grandfather, the original Dan, worked hard to fund his real profession, screwing off. My first...

My Grandby is old, but if yours is anything like mine the propane box is basically sheetmetal. The appropriate hole saw should do. To finish and re-seal the breach I'd look to the Granger catalog or the like for a bulkhead or through fitting. Good luck with however you proceed. Sent from my...

I suppose in relation to clearance, I'm not aware of any rule for exactly how much room needs to exist between bed rail and camper. Obviously you don't want the camper resting on the bed sides. The goal is clearance enough so when the bed twists or moves when driving over rough ground it...

I'll take a stab at it. 1 or 2 inches of clearance between the bed rail and camper should suffice. As for your bolt protruding question, I'm having a hard time visualizing what they are exactly. Posting a pic or 2 might help. As for the eye bolt alignment you obviously are reinstalling an...

For those Wanderers considering making a purchase, the following link is from a Trade E-Paper doing a comparison of sorts between the Spot and In Reach including a cost to own comparison: http://wildfiretoday.com/2016/02/20/colorado-to-evaluate-devices-for-tracking-firefighters/ Look to the...

Seems that with the woodworking/canoe building skills displayed at your alternate site I'd expect a cedar strip basket with a custom thin cut oak or ash epoxy laminate wind fairing to be in order :). I've considered having one bent up out of aluminum sheet or expanded metal and mounting it to...

I just tried out the http://campscout.com/ link above for a couple of areas known to me and I must say I found it very accurate and fairly descriptive of a specific camps features. I'll trust it is the same level of accuracy for the rest of the areas. Thanks for the link and I wish you well on...

Right friggin on....
