Another great offering! This year's RTR sounds like it's shaping up to be the best ever! :)

Interesting. Home Depot directed me to a pricey black matte paint with primer in it, when I told them I want to paint one side of my Reflectix black for night time use on my minivans back & side windows With what you are saying, Cammalu, that might not be the best idea. I don't want to use...

Thanks, Bob & Suanne! Great opportunity. I'm interested in topics mentioned. The ones I need most: Arts & crafts on the road Mentoring after RTR Tent pitch Basic vehicle maintenance Safe food storage How to read maps...a biggie Great addition to standard RTR!!! :heart:

"The method I settled on was a HEAVY cast iron griddle heated up on the stove. Then turn stove off, close vents, and let that thermal mass radiate the heat. Prolongs the heat output and doesnt need venting once the stove is off." Great idea! I'm bringing my cast iron skillet filled with sturdy...

I have not viewed this thread for a while. Just scrolled through it again. So IF you are in the process of being raped and it's within your power to kill your assailant would you do it??? Rape is heavy duty and taking someone's life is equally heavy duty. I know a young woman who was...

Thx, Jim! I wondered what all of you did at high elev. I guess the Buddy Heater video did not reveal their heaters can work above 7k, or you have the Wave. Need to check out Bob's vids to hear how you heat your trailer. But I think you talked mostly re solar and cell phone info, your expertise...

Thanks for sharing the Olympian info. I love cats!!

Good to know that, since I'm leaning towards a Wave 3 anyway. I didn't understand they could be used at higher elevation. Thought all propane heaters were defunct above 7k. Thx for info!! WY, my home away from home!!

What do you use for heat if you live above 7k feet elevation? I did a search but did not find any info here. I live at 7k and want to camp higher. Night time temps are dipping 20's-30's this week. Daytime temps perfect for hiking. Whether you use a Wave or a Buddy they both use propane. Buddy...

Ingenious way to get large chunk of ice! My cooler is small so mine might to have to be a smaller size, quicker freeze bottle!

That is the truth! When I am not deep in the pain/fatigue cycle and energize enough to hike out in vast wilderness I get the greatest lift. Feel so much better out there. Movement helps.

I accompanied a friend on SSI to meet with the long time head of the disability dept at Soc Sec office. She said if you receive SSI you can own a second vehicle, providing one is worth only 1k or less. No RV's allowed for those on SSI, but 5th wheels allowed. That was 4 years ago. Not sure if...

Not an Easterner but drove NJ long ago. If you know how to track and retrace your steps you'll never get lost, even in the Pine Barrens. Unless of course JD gets you!

Thx, IGBT. The cardboard box is a great idea.  :idea: I'll try that. Just moved. I've got plenty of boxes to empty. Should be able to find one the right size. Yes, that 18L version looks mighty tiny inside. I want to carry high quality protein in my freezer compartment, better than I can find...

Great comments! I love the dual voltage option, but becuz I'm in a minivan it seems I can only squeeze in the 18L model, which is 12V. If anyone has time to look at that tiny one can you tell me how many sides need venting? And is 6 inches clearance enough room to keep the compressor happy ...

Bacon makes everything taste better... good to cook it outside....where there are no bears!

All good info. I learned one more thing: If you do get lost and SAR is out looking for you it's safest if you carry 2 signal mirrors. A rescue plane flying to the north will not be able to see your mirror because from that direction it will not reflect sunlight. Take two. Use one to reflect...

I wish someone would put me on a platform in a tree, wrapped in a Pendleton, with a few of my most cherished objects, feathers and stones.

I bought one of those too. Watched a review video, name of the site is outdoorlabgear, or something similar. Nice to have 2 fuel options and the wind screen.
