Yeah that new model looks pretty slick!

All you guys with your fancy knives and I'm over here using either a Gerber or Buck knife that cost less than $20.
yep, I've had the same damn CRKT folder for damn near 10 years now lol

Ive got a few Sheffield folding razor knives I need to break before I get one. They suck..... well they are good for a decades old design, but compared to what I saw from Milwaukee's new designs they suck.

Anyone looking for a soft cooler, check out these Polar Bear ones. Got one from work and it out performs the RTIC and Yetis I've used/owned in the past.

Rehabbed my duel fuel stove again. Just cleaned out the bad gas that had gel'd up in the tank.

BTW - the sheet metal on the bottom of the burner support is razor sharp. just about took the tip off my pinky cleaning it

added some #9 to the rust spots to slow them down. still in pretty good shape for it's age.

Coleman actually still makes this model in the US to the same specks it has been for many years. Price is 75% higher than when I bought mine but inflation is what it is.

Think I'm going to be picking up an OZTent RV3 sometime this year. Been looking at different options and I think it's the best for us. RTT won't fit our needs and is quite a way out of our budget. Think the OZTent will be a good fit.

Those look nice, except the pack length is 80" long.

Yeah that and the weight are the only negatives. Length isn't too much of a concern since I can strap it to the roof rack. But that's where the weight comes in. Now I'm putting another 45 lbs at the highest point on the truck. Still less than a RTT though. I'm still open to other options but so far the OZTent is winning.

You mean @RichardB23 didn't already have one installed before you bought it off him? lol

A couple of the scout families bought Coleman 6 Person Instant Cabin Tents, that wasn't a bad tent at all for the price, just need to upgrade the stakes, and use a tarp underneath for additional protection.

I got one of the EZ up camping cube tents for under my ez-up a couple years ago. Have yet to unbox it or put the top on the ez up lol

it packs into a med duffle but the ez up is large. less than 72" though - I do know that cause it fits in the subaru easily.

Think all I did was set it up once with just a wall for some privacy

I bought the cube more for a screen room with privacy than an actual tent to sleep in thus why it's still never been used.

it's 10 x 10 x 7 tall I think.

I picked up one of these stoves when I got the fridge. This should work a little better than my tiny Snowpeak back packing stove for what I need it for. Figured for $35 I would take the gamble on trying it out.

It is not a war crime the first time.

That could be pretty tempting for a camp stove setup. Small enough to be lightweight but not so small as to be limited in use.

The Ozarks might be my first solo trip so I am figuring out how/what needs to adjust. Looks like I will have lots of fridge space so far.

more room for beer, lol
I invited a friend that went with me on my first Ozark trip but the outlook on him making it is not great.
