    Deals of the Day.

    I've been wanting to start this thread because I often see (as I'm sure you all do) some pretty good deals that could be of use to some of our compatriots out in Nomad Land. The rule for this thread is: Anyone can post a good deal here. Just post and go. No comments except for a description. Let...

    That was... Weird...

    So yesterday before an afternoon get together, I tried to get in my regular hour long walk along with Sam. Decided to hit the trail at the CoE park by the Lock and Dam since it was kind of a raw windy day and the dense trees would block most of the wind. Parked and had just started walking. Ran...

    "The Quest for FIRE .... Uhhh... I mean... INSULATION!

    Hey folks, One of the constants that we see here on the forums is always the question of insulation. We all know in a nutshell "Insulation GOOD" - "No Insulation - BAD".

    AS some of you know, I'm originally from Hawaii and hopefully will end up living there again before too long. We are first in a lot of dubious things in the state but one of the strangest is we're the number one consumer of Spam per capita in the country with canned corned beef close behind...

    Refer DC Voltage Cutoff Setting

    So I purchased a 12v Wynter fridge a few weeks ago and I've just received a GOLABS Li4 power pack with the primary purpose to run the refer. Reading up on the GOLAB - it has a DC cutoff that's set at 11.8 v. The refer has an adjustable voltage cutoff in the DC power mode. It's currently set at...

    Fusing for 12 V refer

    So, I got my Whynter 45 Quart refer delivered yesterday. Today, I started on a wiring harness based on a Blue Sea 12V plug (Marine plug as recommended by a couple of elder statesmen here) to be run off my 400 AH house batteries (200 AH available), the plug is 15A, simple job, but when I got to...

    OK, this is my first "Dummy rehashes an oft discussed question" but here goes. I have a chance to purchase a Wynter 45 qt 12v fridge for less than 400 bucks brand new due to some reward card points I've built up. Free shipping and no tax. Outside of getting a used one, am I going to...

    All kinds of vehicle options here.

    I used to purchase vehicles from these folks to satisfy various aircraft maintenance fleet requirements back in the days before I retired and became a useless eater. While a lot of what they offer is pretty expensive, you can often find some pretty good deals. Think of what a creative type...

    Surprisingly Effective Cooling without AC or Electricity

    Has anybody ever tried (or heard of this concept) It's a surprisingly effective home made cooling system that I first pshawed at when I first read about it, then I decided to give it a try since I save 2 liter bottles I collect from friends (I don't drink soda). Put one of these together in...
