I have 2 wire mesh tables that sit beside the SnowPeak fire pits They work well The SnowPeak firepits are great , mine are over 10 years old and no rust or damage I have the complete firepit set

I use this propane bbq,for $60 works great I dont have a SnowPeak table , I have 2 SnowPeak stoves in my collection though

I have a Grand Tour too Did anyone install or have pics?

I saw that , looks great In Japan they sell rice pots for camping they are only $12 They even have measuring marks on the side showing how much rice and water to add, 2 cups and 4 cups

Since moving to Japan 20 years ago , rice has become part of me I always use Tiger electric But never had success in cooking over gas Tried it again tonight , following a friends suggestion High heat , low heat and then flip the pot over Worked well and didnt burn Next time a little less...

The tent arrived And it is a small....yeah Mounted to my everyday car Bought a roofrack and mounted everything in the parking lot during a long lunch time

Yes I know the medium is a little larger...15cm wider The dealer had a demo that they were willing to let go cheaper Here in Japan they are $4200

Mine has a 3 " lift and an outer roll cage Put some 195x16 Yokohama MT on Have a Maggiollina Grand Tour Roof tent on order And the front and rear pipe bumpers are being built A hitch member on the back and a winch on the front and probably a rear hitch winch(in the future)

I ordered a Maggiollina Grand Tour Medium How should I mount the tent? Straight onto the rollbar or weld square tubing

My last truck had front and rear winches and I rescued everyone I straggled into every camp last.....exhausted The thing that pissed me off was that alot of guys dont carry proper rescue equipment I wore thru 2 winches and tons of other gears

This is my 3rd Jimny that I am building And my 7th camping vehicle Yes I have slept in Jimny/Samurai , pull out the passenger seat and alot more room for solo trips

In Honshu at the northend in Aomori

I am interested I will be starting on my solar system soon

Have to order my tent this week Usually spend 30 nights a year camnping and a week long trip is coming up I keep bouncing back and forth My truck is small , Suzuki Jimny/Samurai The roof is about 100cmx160cm The storage area inside is small 1)So I like the idea of the narrow 2 person Overcamp...

I usually head out late and stop halfway in a 24 hour parking lot So I cant set up an awning or bbq or cook outside And since my truck is Suzuki Jimny/Samurai space is very limited Does anyone cook inside a Columbus or Overcamp?
