    1Lb bottle refills

    The seals on the 1 pounders are fragile. I've had several leak after disconnecting with fuel still in it. Like Dancer, we prefer the 10 or 20 lb refillable bottles.

    Doing fine here. We've had some great outings this summer and still have some more to go. The backpacks have stayed in the closet but we've driven into a lot of remote places. I've enjoyed the pics from the canoe trips. Our water outings have been either Sons big inboard or just paddling around...

    Albums and Pics

    I tried to give a trip report with some pictures I took with my phone. None would finish downloading because they were too big for the server. How do I correct this?

    New 2 Burner Stove

    We've been getting some badly needed sprinkles the last couple of days. We are thankful for what we get. It is dry here. It's going to be a bad fire season.

    CAMPING COVID THREAT...

    On our trip last week, the National Park campgrounds were closed but there were tents and trailers in about every nook and crany all over Utah. The amount of trailers around Moab was unbelievable but that is normal for that area.

    Finallly some Snow

    We ate 8n southern Utah today and was in a little snow squall. Word from home was it snowed a couple inches yesterday but my cousin in Wyoming said they had 10 inches today and still coming down. Any month with R can get snow and I have seen snow rarely at least once in the other 4 months.

    MRE Meals???

    A son in law gave me some mre's for backpacking. One trip was enough. Too heavy. For us it's freeze dried or dehydrated for backcountry travel. (Mountain House and home made meals) or it's cooking from scratch if weight isn't a problem. Each trip may be a different method of cooking depending on...

    I only bought four items...

    Grandma bought a raised dog bed for her baby. We already had a good pad to fit. She also bought a portable flush toilet and a privacy shelter. We'll stick with the bucket and a tarp for backpacking. Most of our trips this year will be primitive camping out of the back of an SUV. Although we are...

    Camping is intense :-)

    Just athought, I'm not sure i like that stove in a tent with a bunch of boys who fed on beanie weenie or chili mac just before bedtime. Lol. :Caked:On a more serious note, our charter is church sponsored so we have multiple units using the equipment. All equipment is stored and packed into a 16...

    Thinking about Sleeping Bags?

    Many years ago I bought a cheaper 15o 650 down bag if there is such a thing as cheaper. I loved that bag. It served me well on literally thousands of bag nights. I never carried a thermometer but I was warm even when ice formed on the tent. As time wore on I started sleeping colder and colder...
