    Wet ICE or DRY ICE? That is the question.

    Feel. Feel the air in the cooler with your arm/hand. A little practice will tell the tale. The bags should be stuck together. Then slam a bag down in the cooler on other ice. If all the cubes break loose, beware. Then go buy it. Sometimes the cashier can tell you which cooler to go to (I...

    Gonna do the Woody Wax thing

    Evan, I have already addressed the answers to your questions in other posts on this site. If you are looking for an easy solution, I fear you are SOL. The aluminum now has to be taken down to bare metal below the patina and pits created by the oxidation, which are the white spots, or they...

    Wet ICE or DRY ICE? That is the question.

    Two years ago we put $8 worth of dry ice in a normal plastic insulated 12 pack cooler with frozen meat. It buckled the sides and cracked the interior plastic lining. Last year we put $25 worth of dry ice in a 1 1/2" thick styrofoam only cooler to keep shrimp frozen. It worked for 3 1/2 days...

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    Re: Canopies (once again) The Northern Breeze looks to be the hands down winner for folks that like to put up tents, play with zippers, step over guy lines and spend their time in a small room to protect them from nature. We spent a lot of money for a CI so we wouldn't have to be subjected...

    Insurance?

    Absolutely! The RV insurance is $110 a year from State Farm and they will buy you a new one if they can't find a comprable used one if yours is wrecked, burned or stolen. The down side is they do not include contents, which fall under your household policy; and it cost $3,000 to 'furnish'...

    US CI camping

    East Coast camping: We have found that when you plan your trip, you call for reservations at state, county or city campgrounds. In over half the cases you reserve a specific site. In the rest you reserve a site, and then it is first come. Eighty-five percent of the sites are RV sites with...

    Tastes Like Trusello Bread

    Not at all George. Or 8 dinner rolls. Or a great pizza crust. If using for pizza, brush the dough with olive oil (Not the edges.) just before adding the other ingredients to keep it from getting soggy. Hilditch

    Tastes Like Trusello Bread

    Glad you liked it George. If it didn't rise to 3 1/2" it was too wet and needed a couple tablespoons of flour. It should hold 90% of its shape and rise a little while waiting for the oven to heat up. It will still be on the sticky side, but workable. You may want to try again to get a feel...

    Dutch Oven Maintenance

    Stelena or ?? (With no signature I don't know which of the three of you wrote the question.) I preheat my cast iron on simmer on a gas stove or just a few coals from a fire. You want to do it slow so as not to shock the ci. When the upper rim is too hot to keep your finger on (200o) it is safe...

    Dutch Oven Maintenance

    Unless you have ruined the seasoning, there should never be such a thing as re-seasoning required for your DO. Simply use it. There is no law that says you can only use it when camping. If it is only used to cook liquid dishes, you will ruin the seasoning. When at home fry in it...

    SUV Off-Road Standard Height Vs Suv Height

    AJ, Cary doesn't like to talk about ground clearance. When level the ground clearance on the 550 SUV is 11 1/2" wet. The tank drains are the lowest point with the center storage compartments next. My Ford has almost 7" & Tacoma 8" so I'm comfortable knowing where the TV goes, the tear will...

    Breakfast Mess

    This is a good recipe. Real bacon would work as a substitute, but wouldn't be near as good. Next choice is spam and it goes down hill from there. Hilditch

    E-mail Access While Traveling

    The way I understand it, mobile access is a condensed version of land line access filtered for/by the phone providers so you deal with a buffered server. EVAN!!! Hilditch

    E-mail Access While Traveling

    Jim, I'm with you. I can vouch for the fact AT&T sucks. The only good way that we have found is to take a tablet or laptop to a land line WiFi at a campground or McDonalds. Hopefully Evan will have something more better. Hilditch
