Some Initial Thoughts On Training A Special Needs Fur Missile

E May 29, 2023June 3, 2023 1 Comment

I would have liked to have composed and posted this earlier in my new relationship with Gia. While it’s not necessarily a need, it is an advantage if I can get into “the flow” before I write and dealing with a reactive puppy with a short attention span is not conducive to those conditions. Be …

Horse Linto Campground

E May 29, 2023May 30, 2023 Leave a comment

Soon after bringing Gia into my life we traveled to Humboldt County, CA to visit some lifelong friends who knew and loved my first two dogs (Nohkuma “Kuma” and Willow). After a short visit where my friends put themselves on the line to help socialize Gia the possibility arose for a camping and fishing trip …

Joolca Hottap Portable Hot Water System

E May 29, 2023May 30, 2023 Leave a comment

For years I have relied on a simple, old-school solar shower for my warm or hot water needs. They work fine as long as you have sun and it is warm and calm enough outside to heat the bag’s contents. Those variable conditions mean you might end up, at best, with barely warm water even …

My DNA Helps My Camping

E May 28, 2023May 30, 2023 Leave a comment

From a very early age, maybe 10-12 years old, I can remember making several repeated observations about how I differed from people around me. One, and I have no idea how this conversation came up, was that I could smell the sulfurous compounds in my urine after eating asparagus while other people could not. While …

My Favorite Morning Tools

E March 30, 2023May 30, 2023 Leave a comment

After waking up, if at all possible, I like to start my day with a large cup of coffee. Frankly I am not a huge fan of the taste of coffee and use it more as a drug delivery system for caffeine. That being said I do notice the flavor difference between instant (with “flavor …

Sherpa Roof Rack

E March 30, 2023April 22, 2023 Leave a comment
Sherpa Roof Rack

I started this mobile adventure with a base Yakima roof rack and eventually added the Load Warrior Basket and it’s extension. It has worked well but there were a few issues that slightly annoyed me. First, it is made of steel which is heavy. That added weight causes a couple of less-than-desirable traits, namely lessened …

Alu-Cab 270 Shadow Awning

Alu-Cab 270 Shadow Awning

My old ARB awning worked well for what it was for many years and I am glad I had it. I finally decided to upgrade to something bigger and better and to that end decided on the Alu-Cab 270 Shadow Awning. Numerous companies make 270 degree awnings at various price points but only two that …

ARB Awning

E March 20, 2023March 31, 2023 Leave a comment

My old tried and true ARB awning has worked and held up fairly well over the six years I’ve owned it. Apparently I’ve never taken a ground level picture of mine deployed so grabbed this one off it’s page at Amazon to give you an idea of what it looks like in action. When I …

Willow Has Passed Away

E September 7, 2022April 19, 2023 4 Comments

Willow passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning of Tuesday, September 6th, 2022. Her advanced kidney disease had taken a huge toll over the last three months. She was eating far less and drinking far more. She hated her new prescription Renal Care food with a passion (we tried a couple) and …

A Snorkel For Useless Internet And Street Cred

E April 21, 2022December 4, 2022 Leave a comment
A Snorkel For Useless Internet And Street Cred

Just kidding. A snorkel (a.k.a. a “Dorkel” by some with a sense of humor) is actually a useful addition to a vehicle when used like we use our Tacoma. Granted, if you are (or know someone who is) a “Mall Crawler” than this addition is truly a waste of time, effort and money…unless all you …
