    M35A2 Deuce and a Half 1970 Kaiser Multifuel

    My 1970 Kaiser M35A2 is up for grabs. It's not perfect but not awful. It's not expensive but not cheap. Hopefully it will be 'just right' for someone. Low miles, perfect multi, super singles, 10 mpg at 53 mph highway, can be driven anywhere, located in Windsor County, VT. Will include many...

    What regular tools are part of your camp gear?

    Regular tools can be quite useful around the camp site. For example, a wooden-handled putty knife is handy for frying and other cooking duties. The wooden handle insulates and the shape of the steel blade is great when cooking, serving or cleaning up afterward. What tools do you repurpose for...

    Quick between the seats platform

    My YJ Jeep has nice flat floor sections everywhere but between the seats. For some reason this are is rounded and angled. I don't like center consoles as I prefer the flexibility of having that space open, but by the same token the stock shape is not conducive to many uses since nothing will...

    Army Surplus Immersion Heaters

    Has anyone found military surplus immersion heaters to be useful when camping? They are used with plain old galvanized steel trash cans. Fill with water, a ring sits inside, a gasoline tank drips, smoke goes up a flue, and the water gets hot. I recall that it did not take too long for the...

    The best camping pillow I've found...

    ...is not a pillow at all; it's a blanket. Almost as useful and versatile as a towel, this inexpensive polyester blanket has proven to be the most comfortable camping pillow I've ever used. In terms of flexibility it can attain almost any shape or arrangement desired, from neat scroll to...

    Repurpose a smartphone

    I've re-purposed an old smartphone primarily as an mp3 player and dashcam. I formed a bracket out of sheet metal that is riveted to the smartphone's hard case and that attaches to the windshield frame with magnets. The smartphone bluetooths to the vehicle's stereo. It's an Android device; I...

    Field Expedient Candle Lantern

    I made several of these a decade ago as a one-time expedient, and darn if they did not prove to be a heck of a lot more durable than I ever expected. Witness that, although dented, they are still going strong. The lantern is made from a beverage can. First step, enjoy the beverage. Second...

    Hi-Ball Kerosene switch (railroad track) heater

    I picked up this surplus Hi-Ball heater. They are used to keep railroad track switches from freezing. In use, the flame is positioned underneath the rail at the switch points. While mine is used, apparently they are available new from railroad supply companies. The heater holds 3 gallons of...

    Pie Cutter Tires

    I'm looking for 15" tires, 33" tall, but only 8 or 9 inches wide. I could go 9.5 or maybe even 10, but even 10" is more than I want. I can find 33" tires 10.5" wide, but again, wider than I'd like. Can anyone suggest a size and/or source? BTW, the tires are for a 3500 lb vehicle. I would...

    How much tongue?

    I've observed that many expedition trailers have extended tongues that are used to carry boxes, batteries, Gerry cans and other equipment. With this type of setup, there is seemingly a good deal of tongue weight. I am familiar with the old guideline of 10% of the total trailer weight on the...
