No glazed carrots in our plan, but would like to try that. About 2Lbs to one can? We brined for 20+ years, but gave it up when we got a fancy new refrigerator that turned out to not accommodate the brining bucket. 3 years later I’ve had the bright idea that I could solve the problem with a...

Agreed! Uninformed: So cute! Do you sleep in that? Yes, it’s got a queen bed inside. Insulting, baiting put down: Look at that rinky-dink trailer! I’ve no time for you! Bullying strangers is how you spend your time? Good luck with that… From dictionary.com: inconsequential, amateurish, or of...

Yes, what your picture shows is the CI-supplied 11 Lb cylinder. A 20 Lb also fits, this is the very common size people use on bbq grills, exchangeable at Blue Rhino locations, etc. Yes, it has nearly double the capacity, and double the weight.

It looks like these Husky 3 in 1 Rechargeable Utility Liights are back at HD, the 800 lumen version is $20 for Black Friday. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-800-Lumen-3-in-1-Rechargeable-Utility-Light-with-10000-mAh-Power-Bank-91641/334527613 There’s also a 500 lumen version, probably what I...

Max cool @425w? I think that means it pulls about 30a? Meaning about 200ah over 8 hours? Somebody please check my math! That’s a super interesting idea! Could run at 60w, 5a, 40ah over 8 hours … but would a couple hundred BTU actually be helpful in a CI cabin? Check my math… maybe my...

Zip ties last longer, I had to do something similar on a wheel well plastic liner. Big zip ties can be chained together in circlet or zipped together one to another for longer spans. Wire coat hangers can really last a long time, you need pliers to “tie” them by putting 4 or twists in two ends.

Here is a review of studies of iron cookware to reduce anemia published by NIH: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8266402/ I couldn’t find any research based conclusions on cast iron toxicity, with the possible exception of those with the genetic disorder hemochromatosis who need to be...

I’m sure there are if you look for them. There’s a theory a minute. Such is our world. I’ve heard tell that leaching cast iron is good for anemia. Who knows? Get information, read between the lines, make your choices, take your chances. Hmm, I’m cynical this morning!

Ah, point well taken. Raw aluminum is indeed reactive with acidic foods, and would also seem to me to be better avoided in cookware. This line of DO’s is hard anodized and non-reactive. Anodizing is more than a surface coating, and doesn’t wear off. You can damage it though. I have some prized...

I’ve been eyeing the GSI anodized aluminum camp dutch ovens forever. I know it seems like sacrilege, rest assured my cast iron collection remains extensive. A local retailer is having a retirement sale, and there was a 14” anodized, retails $165, for $60. Sold! (Sorry, only the one) Reading...

That’s a great looking install! It looks like quite a capable shower…

Shelter & coffee, camping in the woods… life is good! Our Backroads hasn’t seen more than a drizzle yet, @Jenn your post is encouraging :)

That looks really good, a great solution! When I’ve jackknifed backing up at the end of a long day on the road it’s the pin handle that punctured my bumper. This setup would give me a little more protection from that…

@Sweeney On your previous link to a pic in your media album I got a “You do not have permissions…” message. Your account level is pretty special, maybe there are some permissions presets?

Related: the less water in the tanks the heavier the tongue weight. The excellent design engineering of a CI assures that the tongue won’t get too light for safety if you store cast iron in the bins, have the bigger lead-acid battery, a bike rack & bikes, and fresh and gray tanks are full...

We carry our drinking water in 5g jugs, but use the sink all the time for handwashing and small dishwashing. The spray nozzle is very handy for rinsing dishes. When there’s 2 or more of us dishwashing migrates to a couple washbasins. I’d rate the water system just below the stove/propane and...

If I recall correctly, @Sweeney did. For us I think this comes up when trying to run air conditioning off a so-called "solar generator 'sogen'".

There are so many shelter alternatives, and one of the oldest threads on this forum is dedicated to the many approaches. Including the REI Alcove, a favorite of many. So much more info and experience is here: https://campinnforum.com/community/threads/lots-of-opinions-on-canopies.1042/ That...

And/or grab that quality slider and see if you still like the image at maybe 800px wide and good/70 quality.

We in the PNW know that you can easily break the frame of an Alcove overnight. Somewhere here, maybe even in this thread, are a couple solutions resourceful people have devised. One was a half dozen bungies on each side, running from the peak to the side top rail, creating support to drain...
