Have you considered that the Canadian propane standards, which are different from the US standards, are complicating things?

Had you been in Southern Alabama you could have witnessed the winter solstice at Bamahenge

Under the new blood pressure “rules” 80% of older adults should be on blood pressure meds. Statins for cholesterol work to lower cholesterol yet cholesterol is needed for brain function. Doctor’s advice is just that, advice. Always ask: What will this do to improve MY life and what will it cure...

I have two driveway markers that I place at the entrance to the garage. They are wide enough so I can see them with the side mirrors. They provide an aiming point.

Apparently she is already spoken for.

Stay warm! I somehow must have ended up with a defective CI regulator or defective Mr. Heaters, regardless I feel fortunate to only need the Ci pigtail and a Coleman extension hose.

However, these “capitalists” are dealing in public property they do not own. Taylor Swift tickets are totally different.

Lithium batteries tend to provide power at their rating until they are well down in their discharge range. This is important if you are running the Dometic because it has a low voltage shut off.

For northwest Florida try Florida State Forests : Campgrounds and Camping Reservations - Florida State Forests. I live in the county with Black Water State Park and prefer Bear Lake, Hurricane Lake, Karick Lake, and even Krul Lake. (no pets). Primitive sites are available through the Munson...

The regulator is on the CI tank. I connect only hose to the appliance (zoom on the pictures in my prior posts. I typically use the fuel filter. I have had no problems using appliances with a regulator such as a grill or propane fireplace (both are high flow, the heaters burn a little fuel).

I just went out and verified the operation on a Big Buddy. Adapter pigtail and an 8’ extension, connected to CI port, turned on tank, purged line, connected to appliance, held appliance knob down for 15 seconds, clicked to pilot, held knob down till pilot was self sustaining, turned on heater...

From a Christmas Story: “You’re going to shoot your eye out”. I bleed the hose by depressing the hose valve pin until gas comes out. Guess what could happen if there is a nearby ignition source and proceed accordingly. The safe method is to hold the appliance primer down for 5 to 10 minutes.

I connect the desired extension to the QD adapter, plug the QD adapter into the trailer, bleed the hose, connect it to the appliance. I also make sure to hold the appliance primer down for about one minute so the pilot light ignites (and hold it down longer if needed, Buddy Heaters are touchy...

I have three Mr Heaters: Buddy, Big Buddy, and the “new” BuddyFlex.I have had no problems. Depending upon the length of extra hose used I do bleed the hose until I smell/see gas, then connect the appliance. I do use the fuel filter. Please, no safety comments (A Christmas Movie: You’re going to...

The host was actually pretty good. I politely discussed my “error” with him which is why he was willing to say why the NPS didn’t care about bear resistant containers, everything goes in the car if you are not at the campsite: water bottles, jugs, ice chest, boxes, toiletries, etc. whether in a...

It’s a “courtesy notice”. To put some bark into it they include the penalty for approaching and harassing wildlife, think of people getting a selfie with a grizzly: Willfully approaching within in 50 yards (150 feet ), or any distance that disturbs or displaces a bear or elk, is prohibited...

So dry campers don’t shortcut things at 2am and water the bushes? Bureaucrats. This summer I was dry camping in a National Park and got a bear ticket. I had a grizzly bear rated cooler I only used for ice. It was doubly pad locked per back country regs. The host told me that he didn’t like...

I built my confidence in water treatment tablets at Philmont Scout Ranch. The water supply on the third night was a cow pond with the cows in it. We doubled down on the tablets and no one got sick. The worst campground water set up was in a US Forest Service campground in New Bern, NC. The fresh...

ordered one of these and it fits the CI tables well.
