Great job! Looks like a big success in helping some prairie land come back. Are you near Midewin Tallgrass preserve?

Has anyone installed one of these in your ATC or FWC? https://www.customcylindersintinc.com/store/roof-jenie

Well, since I have been hit by lightening three times, while out in the field, I hope next time I am in my ATC during the storm!

BTW - we are in the market for a 3/4 ton gasser and an Alaskan, so am curious as to what size tank you have and gas mileage? If I could afford a newer diesel, might go that way, but too expensive for now. Thanks.

I had a custom built hitch rack "step" designed that had brackets to attach to the outside points of the hitch. I can easily carry two 5 gallon cans on it (weight is no issue, size is). We use it for water, but gas would work too. Will try to get a photo and upload it.

Looking forward to more. We are going through the same thought process right now. Although getting a 3/4 ton truck is first on the list! I am leaning towards and older Alaskan so we can pretty much gut it without remorse and build it out how we want. But the time vs. fun ratio is going to get...

One fellow I work with goes fishing for a month in the winter there. He rents a camper van and I believe it costs about US $1200/month.

Seems like if they are not holding pressure, it is leaking somewhere. Might have to dig deeper.

Very nice!

Looking at a used Alaskan, but would want to remove the air conditioner. How hard would it be to seal up the opening? Maybe replace with a Fantastic Fan? Thanks.

I have used Dicor Sealant for the roof screws and other places on our ATC. Seems to work well and is easy to work with.

We bought a Tributary Strike2 inflatable. It can be used solo or tandem. One of the reasons was wanting a durable boat that weighs under 50# for flying to Alaska and the boat being fairly bulletproof from leaks on longer wilderness trips. Can put a skeg on it for tracking. I am sure that lot's...

I have no bumpers on my Ocelot. I have some foam padding that sits between the camper wall and the top edge of the box. Have had it that way for five years and the only issue is some markings from the foam pad, no visible denting. We drive lot's of FS roads, the Mohave Road, and two tracks and...

Good article. We have lost thousands of acres of whitebark here in the northern rockies. Some are still hanging on and are cherished.

There is an Alaskan remodel on Expedition Portal that was a pretty complete rebuild - not shortening like you are thinking of though. I would second the need to have lot's of inside space to do a complete rebuild where you have to separate the two parts. If it is that rotted out, I would look...

Will look forward to the build. We built out our Ocelot in 2013 and very much enjoy it.

That is a classic line, thanks for posting. Might have to go on my wall next to the old dog collars.

Have had a Propex in our Ocelot for five years with no problems. Installation is straightforward, just think about where you put the thermostat. Karl at GoWesty was very good at answering any questions I had during the install.

Ah, just read the other comments on USAA. Will be calling them back to see about getting insurance from them now!

Same here, have USAA, used Progressive. Pay about $100/year for an Ocelot. Think about $15G replacement value.

Always wonderful to see your sketches and hear about your trips Milt. Thank you!!!

Or look for an ATC - I think all of the panels have the wood imprint on them. At least our Ocelot does.

My wife got in on the Kickstarter for this. She uses it and really likes it.

This is just a simple one, but I bolt on two "U" hangers on the bottom hole of each rear bracket. It works great to hang packs, hunting and fishing vests, jackets, etc. while in camp. I do like the table idea.

Have an 05 Tundra with an Ocelot. Ran Michelin LTX AT2's for almost 60K and no problems. Switched to KO2's for the beefier sidewall and different tread pattern. They definitely pick up more gravel and are noisier. Traction is very good even driving Teton Pass in the winter. If you are going to...
