Great primer on what makes good coffee!

I am a huge coffee snob and even roast my own beans at home. But while camping I want easy and convenient. I use a “manual Keurig.” No mess, no fuss, just add boiling water, press the plunger and throw out the pod. It actually makes a decent cup if you select your pods carefully (single...

I live in Southern California, Irvine, Orange County. Our house is 6 miles from the ocean and sits up on a hill so we get the ocean breeze and onshore flow keeping us much cooler than further inland. The Mediterranean climate in Orange County gives us what I believe to be the best weather in...

FWIW I recommend turning the alcove around 180 degrees from the one in the picture and putting the long end over the hatch. Much more room that way.

I love my Alcove! We have been through a lot together :)

With $4.75 per gallon gas prices in California and my truck only getting 16 mpg in the city, even a 1-2 mpg improvement will have a ROI. Haven’t driven far enough yet, will report back. I am hopeful! I have a 3.6 L, 305 hp Pentastar V6 in my Ram 1500, didn’t get the hemi V8 in hopes of better...

Installed this $180 performance chip on my 2014 Ram 1500. Claims to add +35hp and +3-5 MPG. Reviews seem to back up the claims but you know how that goes! If true, it will pay for itself very quickly given gas prices in California. If not, I have a very expensive and very cool looking green...

Took your advice Cary and got this mini, 1 ounce ball peen hammer and shortened the handle. Not sure if it would do much outside of very small nails but I have a hammer! (Isn't that a song? If I had a hammer...... :)) https://a.co/d/14I8kpG

400 miles in a week is my kind of driving pace! I definitely have trouble with anything more than three hours in a day, I think I have driving related narcolepsy!

Thanks for sharing. 20 mpg is great!

I would likely sell the CI if I got a van. Having to not tow a trailer is one of the advantages in my view. An absolute downside is it’s another vehicle to maintain, insure and park so that’s a big consideration. So nice that I can tuck the CI into the garage. A van would not fit in my garage...

Vigilant Trails® Pre-Packed Survival Snare Traps | Includes 3 Locking Small Game Snares — Vigilant Trails

Have to admit, have a two week supply of dehydrated food……and some snares when that runs out. Have to stop watching Alone!

Have to admit that I have been thinking about a van lately as my wife and I will both be retired by next summer and we plan on upping our mileage and camping frequency. Just wondering if anyone has gone from a van to a CampInn and how you compare the two. Randy

I keep telling my wife that when the zombie (or election) apocalypse hits we will be ready! Of course, she just shakes her head and smiles. Good clean fun I say!

brilliant!

I thought about a mini hammer! Couldn’t really find one that would fit in my kit.
