I mentioned it to a guy with a first gen Tundra who lives in TN. He went with us on the Hurricane Creek run. Seems like a good dude.

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.

Portable - KOVEA

This range features high grade powder color coating and an enamel coated pot supporter. The safety designed system detects high pressure and separates the gas canister automatically.

Ive been loving my butane stove. I haven't used my alcohol stove in a long time. I looked it up but couldn't find any design specs on the Kovea ... but if you are going to use it in cold weather make sure it has a heatsink to keep the butane from freezing up on you. Butane stoves already suck in cold & I know mine burns much better once it "warms" up. Seems weird to heat a canister of fuel up, but not when it's freezing out. I like that it has the auto kick out feature for the gas cause the old ones just exploded

I hear @Oswego knows where yall can get a good camping stove

The first step is admitting you have a problem and I'm not there yet.

Everyone should have 10 different methods to heat food & water right?

I think Ive got multiple stoves for just about every fuel source out there

He will need a time traveling Delorean in order to place his order in time though.

Still waiting for 1/3 of that crap. It's been about 2-3 months so I should send them another nasty e-mail

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.

If you run solo, I may take you up on some of that fridge space. Probably not going to be in the budget to get one before Arkansas.

My sammich maker did the PTO math and she has to save hours for our week long trip in June.

I will also have fridge space. Dont see me filling it up.

Then you aren't bringing enough beer.

If I have whiskey then there is plenty of space for beer.

Looking at some camping stuff and came across this toilet. The little table and drink holder had me laughing. Let me have a place for my beer or coffee, and phone while Im shitting in the woods.

No sense in being a savage while camping. Wonder if they have a bidet attachment for @Silverback .

 

[Silverback]

Oh hey, acting like you don't appreciate a bidet! Must run it through the water heater first, nobody, and I mean nobody likes cold water on their ass. Unless they ate at Taco Bell the night before. Then its understandable.

 

[tx_shooter]

If I am roughing it I leave the bidet at home.

So after thinking I didn't want a RTT and would rather have an OZTent, I found the GoFast Superlite wedge tent. Thinking this may be the way I go now. 80 pounds, 6" profile when closed, and with the ladder and mattress it's still only $1600.

Thoughts on a shower like this? Drop the pump end into a jerry can to clean up before bed. I hacked up the lid to my jerry can to pressurize it with a hose bib and tire valve but it doesnt fit on my holder with the bib.

I sent you a link on insta to a place I've bought from. Real good guys that have a solar shower that you might like.

Those are nice but was thinking a little more simple. I already have the Jerry can that is on the back, drop that in the water and rinse off. No air hose or climbing on the roof. Plus I can carry the can and shower head away from camp if I'm with a group.

We have one like that or similar, we usually warm some water from a camp stove and add it into a bucket.

I used this one. Works well.. just heated the water up prior to using it. I like the on/off switch.

Shower, hand washing, fire suppression, washing dishes....cant beat the "KISS" method and how many uses a mobil system can offer

Friends camping about an hr away on a lake. Thought about going tonight and kayaking tom but the high winds are causing burn bans. Good time to have a alternate red neck tv. Seems silly to sit around a dormant firepit.
