Just for the casual reader. Microwaves can be run on a lower power setting to enable to you to use a smaller generator or inverter. Cook times will obviously be longer, but same result. No I don't recommend buying any underrated generator, but a microwave can be used at a lower power setting...

I actually setup a tow bar and drove from WA state to FL towing my backup rig (it was a geo tracker) however it had a full set of mechanics tools, a welder and two pontoon boats in it. The vehicle was light, but not the payload. I would suggest a can build that can incorporate storing the 90...

If your Coleman is what it's called in "instant cabin", you are in luck. Amazon sells a rain fly that goes corner to corner o , and has Guy lines to make sure the water runs off correctly and it doesn't blow away in the wind. For anybody reading and interested in finding a decent tent in the...

I can understand the want for protection. Myself being shot at literally targeted at 4 times during my life. All out of the blue and all in what was considered safe places. The last time I was fishing in my Pontoon and although I had a sidearm I did not return fire. Being 50yrds at least and...

Great review. I run inflatable pontoon boats with tough rubber skins. I'm deciding wether or not to bring them or something more like you're using. We fish and explore on the water and aren't dragging a boat with us, thank you for the write up. *edit* how heavy and how much room do they take...

They do tend to leak. Before I put any used cylinders away, I always--Always drop a little soap or water on top where the valve is at. If it bubbles , it is leaking. I was fortunate enough to find a half full cylinder leaking profusely as i was about to close the rear door of our SUV with the...

I will verify the pop can penny stove will cook well. A bottle of 90% or better rubbing alcohol works as fuel. If it's location you're worried about. We cook at any rest stop or pull off we feel secure at. We use a one burner bottle top stove for quick coffee and a coleman double burner for...

I was once inside a nissan truck at a taco bell. The 5/8" thick cable the owner used for an amp became pinched in the seat latch. It did not have a fuse. Tge diy'er length of wire glowed red from underneath the carpet. The cable welded itself to the floor, and merged with a wiring harness it...

That's a great idea. We pick up salvaged hard drive magnets. They are powerful enough to leave a blood blister if they get too close while i. Your hands. They hold up skirting fence below the vehicle to keep the dogs in, hold a screen on the door, hold tools, kitchen knives etc. Also a few...

My wife lives in coffe. I'm the guy who provides the utilities. So I've figured ways to make it quick and efficient as possible. Here's my solution(s) This is her quick need coffee now burner. A very cheap small propane burner that screws  directly on top of the bottle. Perks quick  on high, ...

If i were you id start the wiring of the bank from scratch. Disconnect all battery cables and battery interconnect cables.. Orient all  the batteries with the terminals the same way (no confusion) Look up and study how to interconnect batteries for optimum charging and safety. Re wire the...

Just a quick note. To me it sounds as if your battery bank is mis wired. If your batteries that low i'd bet that the good batteries left are getting charged by the solar and the bad batteries are being charged only by your vehicle/ isolator. Can you grab a picture of the battery bank from...

We have a two room shower tent. It's still narrow just one size longer. One side is a changing room eith a zip up divider. Placing your heat source in the other room would heat both. I always put my radiant heaters on a cookie sheet if I feel the floor is either combustible or will melt. (Even...
