Hi everyone, In March my family of 4 + dog moved from the Florida panhandle to northern California. I know this is a late report, but I have been busy with military training and school (mine and my kids), etc. This is my first trip report, so if the photo coverage is slim, I apologise. I tend...

I ran across this today. Seems like the dish washing station and handwashing station could be of use for a family. Maybe a smaller version of the prep table, that could be a cook table too for a small camp stove. Thoughts? http://www.gspiglet.org/pvc.htm

I put a roof basket on my Grand Cherokee for our move. It's a lot shorter than I thought it would be and I have it installed at the back of the roof. To me it looks a little goofy, all tiny perched at the back of the roof. But my gas mileage doesn't appear to be suffering too much. Where do you...

I noticed the bags at Walmart locally aren't named like the ones on Coleman's website or even on Walmart's website. Like instead of being called "Trinidad", there is a bag that isn't named, but just Coleman brand sleeping bag rated from 40 - 60 degrees. Are these the same bags? Same features...

I'm out of town and my wife took my 4.0l Grand Cherokee into the dealer for the air bag and seat belt recall (all they did was put a band aid on the problem, another thread), and had the oil changed while she was there. They put 5W-20 in it while the owners manual recommends 10W-30. I called the...

My family is moving across the country to northern California from the Florida panhandle. We are all southerners and have really only seen snow about 5 times in our lives when we we're stationed in England, and that only stuck around for a few days. There are 4 of us: 2 adults, a 7 y/o girl...

We're shopping around for some clothes for our kids wear out camping and hiking. What little we have found that's not 100% cotton costs more than clothes my wife and I have bought for ourselves. Any one have some sources of decently priced kids outdoor clothes?

Has anyone ever had any experience with this roof basket? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Highland-UVenture-Rooftop-Cargo-Basket-Black/22018473 I'm looking for budget items for our upcomming cross country move. I'll need it to carry a foldable medium dog crate and some camping equipment. My only...

So I finally got my assignment, we're moving to Beale AFB in northern California from the Florida panhandle. We have 2 vehicles, a 7 y/o, a soon to be 5 y/o, and a dog. Google maps says the quickest route is I-10W all the way to around Los Angeles, then I-5N up into Beale. We want to make...

I searched, but didn't find anything related to training, since she is part of the family I figured it would fit here. We have a 2 y/o lab mix named Emma. She's pretty smart and is trained well for the house and backyard (housebroken and crate trained, plays pretty good fetch, decent...

Due to some recent changes to military pay, my plans to convert my 2WD Jeep WJ to 4WD will be delayed. My budget is pretty low, but I only plan to drive on easy trails. What are some minimal tools to have with me? Shovel and Axe? 4x6 boards for traction? Thanks!

I'll try to keep my intro story from turning into a book! I grew up in a family who did a lot of car camping and loved it! Then came boyscouts and hiking. Now I have two little ones that haven't been outside a whole lot yet. My 7 y/o daughter isn't all that interested, although she does enjoy...
