Lots of scam ads on FB. I tried 4-5 times for different things and my credit card took care of me. Also lots of scams outside of FB. When you see unrealistic prices in an ad of any kind, run away unless you want to deal with the credit card company.

Thanks for the heads up! I was waiting to find a good fridge at a great price.

If you want to get away from it all and do some hiking try the 100 mile wilderness just south of Mt. Katahdin State Park. Not really a true protected wilderness but beautiful all the same with lots of old glacier ponds the size of lakes. You can find places to camp along the roads. They may...

I use the big blue square 7 gallon jug called Aquatainer which DannyB1954 referred. I think you buy the spigot seperatly. They are about as good I have found. Yes the spigots can leak but a little vegatble oil on the gasget usually stops it or replace the gasget.

The LG 350W and 360W both measures 67"x40". I have a 2007 Sienna and watching this thread with great interest.

If you do carry the tank inside, get a propane detector and it should be mounted low since propane sinks.

For general info. There are some butane stoves where the cannister sits away from the burner and you can turn the cannister upside down to liquid feed the fuel. They are good to around 0 degrees. MSR, Optimus, and probably others make them but they are more expensive. They are also much more...

There are a number of smal butane stoves on Amazon for under $10. Search "backpacking stoves".

Thank you.

As far as tents go, Nylon is lighter and will work for a year or so until sun damage eventually eatsit. You may get longer if you set it up under trees or throw a blue tarp over it. Cheap way to go for a quick start solution. Canvas tents can last a longtime outside since cotton doesn't have the...

No I have not worked in Transportaion. But I have worked in a food factory that produced products for McDonalds, Taco Bell, Burger King, Dunkin Doughnuts, etc. All I'm saying it won't be a problem for most.

Closed cell foam pads can be found at Walmart, Amazon, or most general sporting goods stores.  As for interior volume simply buy a larger volume cooler. The cost of Coleman Xtreme cooler doesn't change much for a slightly larger volume. Not sure what to say about the foam fear except set drinks...

The only way you are going to stay in that situation is to have AC power. The only other thing I can say is to find a home for your dog or move to the mountains with cooler weather. Heat is really hard on a dog.

Thanks Wanderer for the post but I don't see the arrow in the picture. Thanks!

My thoughts. Yeti is over priced so I would skip it if you value your money. Ozark Trails is a Walmart knock off of the Yeti but still too expensive for my taste. Tests have shown that coolers like the Yeti only keep ice about a day longer than Coleman Xtreme yet costs about 8 times more...
