    Refugees from Backpacker(dot)com assemble

    Welcome, peeps. I've been here off and on since the BP forums crash. Good people here and something for everyone. And no TPA nonsense. Between Facebook and here, I don't think I'll even try to get on the forums.

    Pop up Camper Air Conditioner

    Unless your camper has been modified, the plug that comes with it tells you what the max amperage your trailer can pull. A 20 amp plug won't fit in a 30 amp receptacle and vice versa. My last pop-up had roof top air and a 20 amp power cord.

    Preparing Deer Meat To Taste Like Beef

    To me, trying to get venison to taste like beef is like trying to get ham to taste like chicken. My sister is one those who says she can taste venison no matter what you do to it. I take great pleasure in serving her hamburger (ground venison) dishes. She just loves it and wishes she could buy...

    Machine Converts Trash to Oil

    It's made from a by-product of oil distillation. Just as gasoline is one part of oil distillation, plastics are made from various compounds that are a result of making gasoline, diesel, etc. You could only get what the plastic was made of, not gas/diesel without adding something to it. Well...

    finding a good knife i mind boggling hard. suggestions?

    I'm a big fan of Mora knives for the same reason you don't like them. They are a utilitarian knife in both looks and function. It would help if you would tell us what you plan to do with the knife. Knives are like hammers. They didn't just make one and quit. 99% of the time, I use my SAK (swiss...

    Canoe or kayak?

    I have both a canoe and a kayak and I happen to prefer a canoe. Just like when I used to hunt, I always liked using my bow instead of my gun. And over the years I've seen just as many people who couldn't paddle a kayak very well as canoeers. Just remember, anything a kayak can do, a canoe has...

    Magnifying glass as fire starter

    I would suggest practicing with one before depending on it for fire starting. They don't work quite as well as YouTube makes out.

    GMO vs Non-GMO

    I don't exactly like the idea of introducing foreign DNA into another organism. Mainly because for every peer reviewed article that says it is okay, you can find another peer reviewed article that says it isn't okay. And I don't buy the argument that GMO's are the same thing as selective...

    Small Space Gardening

    I've done both traditional gardening and square foot and I would choose square foot gardening over traditional any day. Less work, more produce.

    Shamrock / Roo

    I've always thought those were neat if you had toys to haul but wouldn't those do a number on your tongue weight?

    Cram It or Roll It

    All the stuff I have that goes in a stuff sack is too slippery to be put in a sack any other way except stuffing it.

    How sharp are YOUR needles?

    I don't think mine were either. I couldn't get the fabric end to penetrate the fabric and the fabric was thin poly/cotton. But I didn't know there were different types of points.

    How sharp are YOUR needles?

    I had the same problem also. In fact, the eye end was sharper than the sewing end.

    Before LNT there was ...'Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures". A little simplistic perhaps but easy to remember.
