I still haven’t found one…except for the danger of dropping 200 pound shampoo, soap, and conditioner bottles on your toes while showering.

3 Dutch Oven Masterpieces
With fall here, I can’t help but think of camping and the majesty of the Great Outdoors! Being from Southern California, I miss being able to escape to the mountains and doing a day-hike 45-minutes from home, or spending the weekend enjoying primitive camping with dutch-oven meals and stories of youthful mischief.

Toothpaste was Made for This?
I’m always looking for tips & tricks to cut corners…especially when it comes to using a “toothpaste” for something other that what it’s sold as. I’ve got a foggy headlight situation on my truck. I’m going to give this a shot.
