What kind of jacks are you looking for? At some point this winter I'll have a couple of brophy-style cable jacks available in the PNW. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Deglaze can be done with many liquids. Wine, various vinegars, acidic fruit juices. I most often deglaze pan-sautéed vegetables with balsamic or red wine vinegar, though wine is the classic for meat. If you're doing meats, fish, or vegetables in a pan this is a technique that amps up the flavor...

I've topped out at 17.75 MPG in a 2013 Frontier SV extended cab 6cyl 4WD automatic, carrying an Eagle. I sold my 05 Fronty crew cab; my experience with the 5' bed on it was that it was *always* a bit short, and I wanted the 6' bed for cargo and to carry a camper. I sure don't feel like I have...

That's what I shoulda' done! It happens that I have some heavy sailmaker's shears, but the material doesn't really want to take a straight cut. I managed. A block plane would be easier, and with a better/straighter line. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Bought at Camping World last spring - Hillsboro, Oregon. It came with two pieces, one with a molded handle, which I used, and one plain sheet. It required some trimming with heavy shears, coulda' used an exacto knife, I guess. Then it flexes to spring into the channel. If it binds, trim a...

That is a rather amazing camper/truck combo that brought a smile to my face! Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

The iPhone's Compass app, which comes with it, also contains a level that reads in degrees. That's what I use... For some reason I never thought of finding a good spot in the truck cab to use it when behind the wheel for initial leveling. Duh!! Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

I'm on a much newer Frontier V6, a bit lighter with an Eagle. The previous owner did a serious off-road tire upgrade without new wheels, and I'm sure they work great on the trail, but my use is much like yours. He did a 2" lift on the front to level the truck. I'm thinking stock wheels are 17"...

LuckyDan, I like the way you think! Share some ona'stick recipes? Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

I have a 12" Lodge - probably the most popular dutch oven out there! If I were to buy a new DO it would be a GSI anodized aluminum, for sure! For weight, ease of use, ease of cleanup with soap, non-reactive, and no seasoning needed. Not quite as durable as cast iron, but quite durable with a...

Thanks B & R - maybe see you there next year! Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Speaking of storage, it would help if some of what needs to be stored would just get smaller! CampMaid has a new folding charcoal chimney coming out - designed to fold up small enough to fit inside a 12" dutch oven. Maybe with aluminum dutch ovens and this chimney the whole DO setup gets small...

CampMaid has a new folding charcoal chimney coming out - designed to fold up small enough to fit inside a 12" dutch oven. Maybe with aluminum dutch ovens and this chimney the whole DO setup gets small & light enough to use more often... In my DO box: Cast iron 12" DO/lid Lid lifter 18" or so...

Unfortunately that wasn't on the forum, it was a camper I saw in person last year... and it seems I have no pictures. Which is stupid, because that owner had a lot of good ideas. It wasn't off the jack brackets, though. The mount was more like 3 pieces of 1.5" x 0.125" steel stock that were...

That's kind of an unhelpful suggestion from your doc. Is he a pulmonary sleep specialist? Ought to know better. Often there's a gear specialist at sleep centers who knows the ins and outs very well. If you're talking about condensation in the tube interfering with air flow and perhaps draining...

Hmmm... those anodized aluminum DOs *do* look great. Easier packing, lighter, not so long to bring to temp, easier & quicker cleanup... I'd heard years ago of river packers using raw aluminum - but it's reactive with foods. Anodized aluminum is great, we've got a fair amount of such cookware...

This ladder: https://amzn.com/B002PNMMOC Showed up elsewhere on WTW, on a thread about loading/unloading kayaks. I think it's just what I'd want for roof access, but will probably wait until I have the kayaks to load/unload. I'd want it to fit behind the couch in my 97 eagle. Alternate location...

If you're already doing dutch oven while camping, the "lid-lifter" (really it's much more than that) looks pretty cool. Especially folding into a 12" oven! On the other hand, my Lodge lifter will *only* lift the lid, but there seems to be somewhere to put it whenever I've needed to. But, after...

I have a knockoff of that style chair that I quite like, but will have to try out the original version one of these days. The knockoff is no good for sitting upright, but a great lounger. Ronin, where is that campsite? Care to share? It has a view to admire... Sent from my iPad using Wander...

Wife and I use two older "Camp Rest" Thermarests. At one time they were the thickest, at 2". But now there are thicker inflatable sleeping pads, including 3.5 or 4" with vertical sidewalls. There's a thread here somewhere about those. I put a sheet sewn into a long bag shape on mine, and sleep...

Cat litter can also be used to improve traction when stuck in the snow... Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

I have a 1997 FWC Eagle, just done with our first season in the PNW. For our use, it seems a bit underpowered in a couple of ways: My truck to camper charge wiring is 10ga. I'd have thought that for 2-3 night out and backs, starting fully charged, this would be OK. But, it doesn't keep up with...
