Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

Don't have the table yet...either way I'm buying the stove. Seems like a decent price

 

the nice part is it actually adjusts unlike most. it has a low and high instead of just a high. and it heats up stupid fast

 

I love mine. All I take camping now is the skottle and my dutch oven. Thats it. I use it a ton around the house too. I picked mine up from bobby at cvt after checking them out at a show. My mom came to visit this spring and thought it was so cool she made my run to CVT (ten mins away) and pick one up for her as well.

 

My GF is thai so we love it because its like a little camp wok.

 

I almost bought one of those at the end of the expo in may. they are legit.

 

im going to email them. im just worried we wont be able to find enough suckers, i mean willing participants..

 

Cool, old socal man myself.

 

I read somewhere that they were making a Snow Peak Iron Grill Table adapter. If you reach out about a group buy ask about that as I'd be in.

Think of it as a steam age extension cord. In many mountainous areas it's just not logistically possible to get an engine to the best spot. The two flywheels are fitted to the belts and eventually one connects to a steam engine and the other can connect to an identical double wheel, or to the machine. This is my fathers - now mine - Case steam engine running a wheat threshing machine to separate the chaff from the grain at a recent antique farm equipment demonstration.

It's for sale so let me know if interested.

 

^ Very cool @G.T.

 

Gas engines too. This one in Death Valley powered various equipment spread out over about 1/2 an acre. Also has a cone clutch with cork lining. Not my pic.

 

I recognize that one! Been there.



I really enjoyed seeing these wooden shims on mount for a ring gear.

 

I figured you would recognize that one.
Got a kick out of the old differential used as a right angle drive over one of the cyanide tanks.

 

I see a lot of pictures of the surface of a mine, but what about inside?

 

We thought it was abandoned, but there was a car in the garage.

 

Have spent a good amount of time out at Tecopa. The mines are absolutely massive. A maze of tunnels and levels.

These were taken a few years ago in the War Eagle. We spent nearly 4 hours underground exploring and ended up having lunch about 2 levels down at a old mine cart. Soo much fun and hell of a rush.

Extra flashlights and lots of batteries...

 

Gee willikers, and a box of inch and an eighth by eight inch Trojans to boot!

 

I've been eying these for a while now. My main question was whether you could boil water. Now that that's answered...I'm in. If I can control myself and wait.

 

we don't have shit nearly as cool as that in Pa. just abandoned coal mines...

 

I've seen to many scary movies to go in there
