Camping Gear Thread

Picked up a Gazelle 5 sided gazebo and 3 wind walls for it. Planning to take the kid camping in a few weeks and I wanted something we could shelter under or go under to get away from bugs. Almost got the 6 sided one, it was actually cheaper, but it’s just too damn big.

ARB fridge finally shit the bed. Well it still works on 12v but it’s pulling a lot of amps. Like enough to melt the 12v plug on the extension cable!! So I will be retiring it, don’t need a fire. Anyhow, I like having 3 12v fridges. . Picked up a BougeRV 41qt dual zone with an LG compressor. It has a lot of features. Has a Bluetooth app and a spot to plug in a battery so you can run it standalone. I didn’t buy the battery pack. But it seems like a good deal for the $$.

Just curious; what is the ration of trips-to-fridge for you in the last 10 years?

 

[Silverback]

Hush your whore mouth. LOL

Does using the fridge to store cold goods when I stopped by HEB at lunch back before Chine-uh-virus count?

Picked up the internal battery pack for about 1/2 price. Says it will run it for 4-6 hours depending on settings.

Picked up a very portable power station. The Ecoflow Trail 300 DC. Only has 288Wh but it also weighs less than 6 lbs. Pretty slick little unit, has two 140 watt USB-C ports which will allow me to run my laptop without any issues.

BougeRV light pole thing.. three lighting "colors" and up to 3200 lumens. Can turn on number of sides. 9 hour run time at max, 90 hour at min.

Red light district!

At low on the warm.. it didn't seem that bright in there.

And on high white light

Ignik gas growler 3.8. Holds 3.8 pounds of propane. They sell a carry case for it, tempting but its $$. Will look for alternatives.

If it goes on a trailer or truck bed why not just use a 20 lb exchangeable? That way if you need a swap on a trip you can swap anywhere in the USA.

I have an 11 lbs that mounts in the bed. 20Lbs is just too big. Honestly its so easy to get them refilled I don't see the reason not to have one. This small one seems good for short trips that don't require a heater.

Actually that may be my 5Lbs... pretty sure it is.

They are pricey but good quality. I took my 5lb with carrying case on our 4 day canoe trip down the Rio Grande last week. It was quite handy.

Nice! I am going to order the carry case for it, I can't find anything else that works.

Ok.. Youtube recommended this.. Within 5-10 seconds you can see her diamond cutters. I didn't watch more than 30 seconds... but I will. LOL

 

[Silverback]

Ahh fuck.. I watched like 40 seconds worth.. she must ice those babies down before every shoot. LOL
