    Hatchet?

    I can think of very few instances where a full size axe could be of any use to a camper. It's illegal to chop down trees in State Parks, National Parks, BLM land etc. w/o a permit; and a felling axe isn't good for much else. The typical uses of a camp axe are easily handled by a Woodman's pal...

    Hatchet?

    Better then a hatchet or machete http://www.woodmanspal.com/ I have this one. If you MUST have a hatchet, this Roselli is an excellent choice. I have one of these as well.

    fishing pole holders

    My solution to rod storage; I can get 7' rods into the tube and it's easy access.

    twelve days in baja Part 2

    We got it from a friend who has a place at Erendira. I don't think I'll put it on again; it may be a magnet for the bad guys now.:rolleyes:

    twelve days in baja Part 2

    32 lbs on my fishlipper scale. They had actually been catching them off the beach a couple days prior! I think this is what they call a sh!t eating grin!:D

    twelve days in baja Part 2

    We bought some beautiful scallops from Vicente and I had a great chat with him; he even showed us a scar from a mako bite he'd gotten years before. Again no fish so we decide to finally head over to Asuncion. We had originally planned on going there for the first part of the trip but SWIMPAL...

    12 days in Baja part 1

    Finally getting around to my trip report. We go to Baja to fish and relax and make friends. We left San Clemente early on the 26th driving through the hellish smoke on the way down. Crossed the border with no problems getting our visas but when I started up the long hill along the fence I had...

    Can you still use the "door holder" on the top? I've got the AT jerry can holder and plan to put it on the hinge side. No. we use a bungee.

    Finally heading south

    We have been trying to get down to BCS for weeks and have postponed several times but it looks like we are finally going to be able to get out of town tomorrow morning. Barring any more disasters our tentative plans are to make Santa Inez tomorrow afternoon; the next morning head down to...

    Did you consider support to the brackets that hold the tail gate up? I thought about it but did not use them. Are you considering storage on your front hitch? At this point no, although at some point I might add a bike rack to the front end. For the time being it's equipped with one of these...

    In planning for the placement of the fuel jug holder I had ATC reinforce that part of the wall with extra aluminum and there is a large fender washer backing it up inside. What about using a magnetic license plate mount so you can switch between the truck and box/rack? Runnin' 4 screws in...

    In the second pic you can just see the washers padding the bolt that passes through the reinforced camper wall. I bet if you looked at the original picture hard enough you could figure out where we are headed. ;)

    It's Adventure Trailers who supplies the Jerry Can holders http://www.adventuretrailers.com/fuel.html It's screwed down to a heavy plywood shelf which is through bolted with SS carriage bolts, nylocks and fender washers through the bottom of the camper and also bolted through the reinforced...

    Finally gotten around to some additions to the Panther. You can't see it in the photo but I got the Yakima racks installed. The very nice jerry can carrier came from All Terrain Trailers and the AT logo looks cool on the All Terrain camper. The box below the window on the right houses the...

    Suspension Upgrades?

    We ended going with a 3 leaf upgrade from Deaver; The truck rides just like it did before the camper (other then the wind noise) with slightly more clearance and increased capacity. Highly recommended.:)

    high-lift jacks usage

    I highly recommend Bill Burke's Getting Unstuck DVD if you are not familiar with the in's and out's of the jack and it's applications. We use a farm jack AKA "High Lift" for all kinds of stuff on my cousin's rancho and I was a shipyard rigger for a while after I got out of the Navy so I have...
