    ultimate cooler?

    Maybe it was the igloo model tested.... Like i said, the igloo party cube i bought that was rated for 4 days kept ice in it for 5. It could be the usage as well though, as i put food in it initially and beverages in the coleman. So while i only cooked twice a day, i drank liquids more frequently.

    ultimate cooler?

    I went out and bought one of those coleman max 5 day coolers, for a trip i made down to tennesee. As i was pricing them out, I noticed an igloo party cube 4 day cooler that was slightly less yet had a bit larger capacity. While the coleman noted that it kept ice cold for 5 days at 90 degrees...

    are there any businesses that offer short term firearm storage, where you can drop off and retrieve your weapon when camping in an area that prohibits firearms?

    anyone living in a teardrop full time?

    I've thought about going with a utility trailer in the past. But then I would need my van to tow it, so I'd be in the same predicament! I was looking for something I could tow with a ford ranger or a 6 cylinder car, for better gas mileage, that I could unhitch and drive around the city.

    I wouldn't build garages, just fence it off and maybe put in a gravel driveway and an awning.

    anyone living in a teardrop full time?

    This is my thought... My city, like a lot of cities, is facing a crisis of maintaining unimproved lots. Many of these city owned lots can be had for 5-50 cents per square foot. With no sewer cost, water, or utilities, the taxes are also minimal. Most of those lots have city restrictions which...

    anyone living in a teardrop full time?

    Thinking of building one... love my van, but the idea of towing something with a 4 cylinder, and having the ability to unhitch at my campsite is pretty alluring.

    Summer Sausage

    It has a great shelf life, and is way more flexible for cooking than jerky....I always keep some in my 72 hour pack. Anyone want to share any recipes?

    military plates?

    Here my plates would be slightly more than a regular plate.  However I believe that renewing my tags would be regular price. I'm still active duty, do I need to be a veteran to join the American Legion?

    military plates?

    During the summer months, I travel in my van which has historic plates on it, but lately I've been thinking about traveling in my car during the winter. Mainly, because the gas mileage is great, it's front wheel drive, so it handles better than my rear wheel drive van in the snow, and being a...
