    Smoked queso dip

    Saw this on Facebook and loved it so much I wanted to share it here. It's simple to make in a 5-quart lodge dutch oven and if there happen to be leftovers it reheats just fine. Youtube Link

    Oztents - difference between RV and RX tents?

    Skip the Oztent. I bought an RV-5 and used it a for two weeks on a trip out West and back, plus a few weekend trips. Owned the tent for about 13-14 months and made the mistake of trying to use it for winter camping in Michigan in March of this year. One of the plastic parts on the frame broke in...

    Tent Review: Malamoo Xtra by Oztent

    Was reading a review on Amazon about this tent failing after less than two years with light use. UV damage. The review stated Oztent refused to honor their two year warranty as this was wear and tear damage. I have an 13 month old RV-5 that had the frame break during a winter camping trip in...

    Springbar tents. Which one?

    I have the Outfitter 3 and my brother has a Kodiak model with the awning. I kind of envy the awning just for the poke your head out and check the weather without getting wet factor. If I ever upgrade my tent (to another Springbar model) I'd get an awning. The Kodiak models can get a Wing...

    Anyone have Experience with Aussie Swags and Swag Brands Available in the US?

    Yep the guy lines are needed. There are two grommets on the ends that look like they would fit a pole and be self-supporting but one was not included.

    Anyone have Experience with Aussie Swags and Swag Brands Available in the US?

    Just got the Kodiak swag tent. http://www.kodiakcanvas.com/swag-1-person-canvas-tent/ Very comfortable but also cozy and by cozy I mean you can sleep in it and maybe read a book but that is it. Not designed for hanging out in. The small size means your body heat stays close to you and it is very...

    Kodiak Swag

    Got one a few day ago. First off think of it as a heavy duty bivy. Setup was super easy. I am 6 foot tall and about #275 pounds. I have about a hands width all the way around of free space. You cannot sit up in it with it all zipped up. I've been sleeping in it almost every night this past...

    BEWARE OF RTIC COOLERS

    Ordered 2 of the 30 ounce tumblers and love them! Shipping was fast but tumblers are smaller than coolers so maybe that's why. Definitely recommend the tumblers.

    I have one of the blanket weight zip up ones from there. The Duluth Pack one is miles apart in quality. You really do get what you pay for.

    Volcano Grill - Complaints?

    The only negative thing (for me) about it is that it is easy to push food OFF the edge of the grill. Other than that, I love it.

    DuluthPack Wool Blanket Shirt on sale!

    I've been wanting one of these in blue for a long time but $240.00 is a lot to spend on something I couldn't try on. Well they dropped the price to $143.96 so I jumped on it! Am I glad I did. Very thick and soft. Seems pretty rugged and comfortable so... I bought two more in red and green. Not...

    Looking for a good Parka

    As for the Canada Goose, I have one and love it. When I went to the store to get it, the lady suggested a medium. I normally wear XL jackets and shirts etc but she said they are sized different. Tried on the medium and it was a perfect fit! I am glad I didn't order online and get the wrong size...

    Grill.. Looking for options

    Add another vote for the volcano grill. We use ours when we go camping with whatever sticks/wood we find and if we can't find any free wood we have a bag of charcoal to use or a 5 pound propane tank. The propane option is good for quick cooking without having to dump out ashes or in a hurry and...

    Best stove to buy?

    I have two Jetboils and love them. They are very handy. I also have a BioLite stove. Nice if you don't want to bring any fuel with you. You just burn sticks and leaves etc. It also charges (slowly) USB devices. It has a battery and fan built in so it creates a cycle effect in the burn area...

    Simple Shower

    I'm thinking if you did wear out that hole some sugru would be a good patching solution.
