Yeah same here

 

For all backcountry crapping a Murphy kit is essential. Latex type gloves not only keep hands clean during the wipe but also are a great way to contain toilet paper instead of burying it.

 

Just spent a few days in the Montana, camping in the Little Belt Mountains (L&C NF), just north of the Crazies, and then westward to Deer Lodge, Philipsburg and ultimately Drummond.

Posted over here: Day 1 - Big Sky and Green Hills - Montana in May 2018. Beautiful country, Montana.

Is this just about 10 minutes from the over look above San Christable lake? I swear I have camped in that exact spot

 

Camco 41545, nice thing, seals well, no stink, cleans easily. Tank treatment in to break up solid waste, handy unit. A little olive oil to keep the flush seal moist during storage times. Don't flush TP, burn it or bag it.

 

I've always got my 5gal bucket and a seat, kitty litter, and wag bags if neccessary. I still prefer the Murphy method.

 

Not that Murphy.
The Murphy method is using latex style gloves for the wipe. Leave the shit tickets in a small pile and at the end you grab the tickets with a gloved hand, turn it inside out and then again with the opposite hand. Keeps your hands clean and gives you a well contained holder for your toilet paper which is then thrown in your trash. I don't leave TP buried anymore.

 

Ahhh....have never heard of that method. Pretty cool.

 

Good call on the lock & roll upgrade.
I love mine.

 

This was a tight little spot to get into (there was a truck 2' off my front bumper when I got there)
Great 1st trip with the Rubicon trailer

 

Just remember that lock-n-roll type hitches have limitations. Oh, and wear your seatbelt.

 

The dealer brought by a customers camper Friday night and I did the conversion on that now he wants another one done if I keep going I’ll let him do the dual battery and solar in the camper and won’t cost me anything

 

Lol yeah don’t believe I’ll be getting that crazy

 

He hasn't reached them yet

 

Yes he has and beyond, it’s broke and the trailer is now sitting on the back of the ute.

I’m running a Treg hitch now but toying with buying a McHitch to install and test as while the Treg is awesome, it’s a bit of a handful to get fitted for my wife.

 

Part 2 of our Montana Memorial Day trip posted. It was another great day, and we only got completely stuck in the snow once!

This is mainly a 1st gen problem, as fuel tank was upgraded in size for the 2nd gen folks. What are you doing to extend your fuel range, if at all? How has limited fuel range affected your offroad travels, if at all. And lastly, I'm sitting at 300 miles hwy/200 miles mild offroad for fuel range. What are peoples thought on that type of range for extended (longer than a week) trips.

Thanks for any tips and insight.

 

^^^great advice right there. DS Tactical has everything Scepter.

 

Do they ship to California?
