New Camp Grill :)
This camp grill was given to me this past Christmas and will be used at the little ranch without fail. With all of the steaks we prepare on our camping trips this will fit in perfectly. This is an excellent gift!

New Wood Stove
Working on a new wood stove for use at the ranch and for backpacking trips. Here you can see the legs and the housing. It is made using an Ikea utensils strainer and 5/16″, 18 x 1-1/2″ hex head bolts. It is 7″ tall and 4.5″ wide. It is called the Ikea Hobo Stove. The cylindrical shape and many holes allow for proper ventilation resulting in a clean thorough burn. In my burn test every piece of wood burned to a complete ash.
Modern Lantern
I decided to get a battery powered lantern because I don’t always have the time to deal with fuel canisters and lamp mantle replacements. Lighting up the lantern is always an issue as well and I need a fire source to do so. It just isn’t.practical on all occasions. Sometimes I need good lighting quickly and this lantern will provide just that.
Gear bag
This gear bag contains all the important tools I would need to survive for a week or more out in the wilderness.
Imusa Aluminum Cup
I added a new Imusa .7 qt. mug to my gear bag. These aluminum mugs are very useful, very light and very affordable. You can find them at your local Walmart or at most neighborhood grocery stores.
