The Coleman Oven I believe is still made, it’s just not currently available on Amazon. They can likely be found at your local Sporting Goods or Hardware store. My Bimart had a couple on the shelf last time I looked. They aren’t a bad idea, like a lot of camping stuff It’ an art to get the most...

They probably should have kept it secret https://ktvz.com/news/deschutes-county/2020/11/30/forest-service-looking-for-vandals-who-defaced-pictographs-west-of-bend/ That’s pretty impressive. Thanks for posting none the less.

Rapid Beverage Deployment System; an excellent idea you should invest in without hesitation

That was a trip to the past. I called the number, and I swear to goodness it’s the exact same voice I used to hear announce the time decades ago. When I was a kid, one of my relatives had one of those big portable AM/FM/Shortwave transistor radios he kept in his camp trailer. What I remember...

For those who remember when manual transmissions were the norm and fuel pumps were mechanical, I’ve been reminded the easy/hard way that the days of get rolling down hill and pop or bump starting a dead rig are largely a thing of the past. I just aborted a mission to recover my brother who’s...

While I’m firmly in the carrying a full size shovel camp, one of these came up on my local Craigslist a day or two ago: https://hi-lift.com/products/handle-all/ Didn’t know such a thing/kit existed. Sure enough I found out it’s a legitimate Hi Lift product.

I have a Grandby and more recently purchased a near antique pop up trailer. Actually I’ve owned two, the one I have now and a smaller near antique trailer. They were purchases of opportunity more so than targeted ones. Years ago I even put the Grandby on a trailer a time or two so I could use my...

Funny thing is it can be 60in on one side of the valley and 6in on the other. Baker City and the surrounding area, the Blue Mtn. Triangle, is a nice area for sure. It was part of my area at work about 17yrs ago. You do have to like winter to live there though. Best wishes with your new abode.

Just fueled my wife’s escape. $3.59/gal for regular unleaded on the east side of Bend.

We may have just hit the apex of the geezer curve with that one... That’s good, it really is.

I’ve got a telescoping pair I use for about everything. I originally got them for snowshoeing. Before that I used regular ski poles for snow stuff and just found whatever sturdy stick might be handy for everything else. There are two nice thing about them. First mine came with several tip ends...

In Baker City, those living on the Elkhorn side of town call that getting ready to go grocery shopping.

Yup, as previously mentioned I’d guess Rieco. They are heavy but IMO weren’t a bad jack. I had them on my Caveman camper of days past. They were still on it when I sold it.

As you have taken the plunge, good luck with your research and planning for the interior. As previously stated, there is a lot of build stuff here and I too hope to see a post(s) of plan and execution.

It’s Baker City, you might want to consider a crawler tractor with an 8 way blade instead, (insert smiley emoji of your choice here)

Still here and still trying to be lucky. I’m with Ski3pin, the resurrection is a great idea. Hope some others share.

I’m tuned in

Back in the day, (70’s to early 80’s) the Trutrac was a very popular choice for the front end. The Detroit Locker being a popular choice for the rear. I’ll concede it’s been awhile since I’ve been associated with an old school “Locked up” vehicle per se. I don’t remember any harsh steering...

Might help your search if you mention what you are looking for; a short bed or long bed truck compatible camper. I remember reading about the Relic Run over on Expo years ago. Glad to learn it’s still in business. Good luck with your search.

Interesting you can’t be on the Public Domain, the Domain roads, but on some of the Forests in the closure order, you can hike the trails. I didn’t realize parachuting onto Forest Service trails was that popular. Seriously though I’m kinda surprised they didn’t include some or all of the...

As mentioned, you’re probably out of luck. The width of the tail end is wider where it fits at the tailgate opening than the bed is wide. I haven’t been on FWC’s website in quite a while, at one time they had a “Fit Chart” for the older campers. That said, it may pay to double check your bed...

In addition to fire entrapment, getting gored by elk or getting lost long term, this happened: https://ktvz.com/news/2020/09/08/man-killed-when-tree-falls-on-camp-trailer-in-ochoco-national-forest/ I feel for the guy and his family, and sorry for their loss. Everyone be careful out there.

To me that looks like a well done system. To follow the standard 50% advice, that meter in the picture should work. It should show the no load or resting state of charge in volts. The easy way to tell is just turn some stuff on and see if it shows a drop then comes back up when you turn stuff...

Another pastime or hobby depending on your definition, shot to h&## by the masses. Of course if everyone starting to do it is requiring an Earth Cruiser or similar to accomplish the task, either cost of entry into the category or cost of remaining in the category may be (Let us hope) a limiting...

Boy wouldn’t it.
