    One Quart Lodge Dutch Oven

    After patiently searching the internet and looking through antique stores I finally landed a Lodge #6 dutch oven, new in the box. I know these to be rare as the price on ebay and Amazon have proved that over the last couple of years I've been searching. The question I have, if someone knows...

    How Do You Store Clothes?

    All great ideas, we use 6 what I call "step down" cloth baskets that sit on top bunk. Missy got these from Pottery Bark a few years back. We use them for our cloths. They fit snuggly have never fallen off the bunk, even on some of the rough forest service roads. Bottom bunk is where Ellie...

    Side Tent Platform

    Follow-up Field Test. Went well, setup a breeze, probably cuts in half the time it take to set up side tent. We were on a bit of an incline from side to side but that didn't cause any problems. Once tent is attached to base you can slide it around to fine tune for a perfect fit. We did have a...

    Hail/hail Damage

    I have also had some concerns with hail, though never experianced it to any degree. The back of our 560 is typically covered with a shelter (Northern Breeze or Paha Que) but we do carry 2 quilted furniture pads, which I thought would serve as a buffer on top of TD as well as several other uses...

    Side Tent Platform

    Nope, to time consuming...have had some spare time with the COVID thing, so that wasn't an issue. I should have kept track of hours, drilling holes, router and sanding work was time consuming..

    Side Tent Platform

    Yes plan to, will put a sheet of plastic down first. Should keep any ground moisture and any dirt/dust away from platform. If is does get a little dirty, those exposed areas pretty much are on the inside when folded..

    Side Tent Platform

    Plywood came from Menards, not pressure treated as it has voids between layers where marine grade has very little if any so no place for moisture to gather. Sealed with several coats, I think 6 of spar urethane which is used in marine applications. I initially had 1900 holes but added some...

    Side Tent Platform

    While at the Campinn/Campout last Fall I noticed someone had build a Side Tent Platform for their side tent. I took a keen interest in it as I have never been happy with the different options that we have used, we have tried the PVC frame, and then switched to a rubber mat. We started with...
