Call it what you want-camping, overlanding, RVing-it is all about getting outdoors and enjoying what this great world has to offer. I have been camping since I was a Boy Scout in the 1970s and have been amazed by the explosion of popularity in the last few years. There are always questions about gear, recipes, etc. so I created this channel in order to pass on information, recipes and product reviews of outdoor and camping equipment that I use hoping it will help those new to camping or looking for information to make more informed choices.
I look forward to having you join us on our journey and I look forward to learning from you as we go.
I don't think the burner is that important but you need to put the wire grid underneath the silicon insert io not to burn your brownies or any other stuff.
What a well-reasoned and informative review. Thank you. We are looking for a replacement for our Defender Puma. Seems like this might suit us fine. Elliot
comparing the steering feel to your Corvette is not a good comparison for me being that those are 2 extremes. How about to a Bronco or F150 or Landcruiser but NOT a Corvette!
With the handle on the flame tamer it will not sit evenly under the coleman oven. For the Coleman (and this will be an upcoming test) I have purchased a small baking stone to go inside the oven to kill the direct heat from below.
Anything that has some lift, solid axles and the aerodynamics of a tin lunchbox is a pain in the ass at high speeds on the highway especially if there is gusts of wind. You addressed everything. Really nice detailed review.
At the time I purchased mine I didn't know a thermometer existed. I am not sure how useful I personally believe the thermometer to be since the problems I have faced with the OMNIA are from the conduction of the heat from the stainless base plate to the thin aluminum cooking vessel which causes the burning issues. The thermometer would only measure the air temperature above the cooler food which is not where the issue is (ie not burning the tops of things). This is just my opinion.
@@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 I understand. I have yet to use my omnia, but have a trip coming up soon. I previously may be 20 years ago used a similar device that had a nonstick skillet with a similar dome. There was a heat deflector that went over the stove and instead of a knob on the very top of the dome, there was a thermometer. Even though it's only the air above what you're cooking it's still gives you an objective reference to be able to say when you go back in to evaluate whether or not the temperature needs to be higher or lower or Cook time needs to be longer or shorter. Just way to evaluate the variables.
@@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 I guess so but you mentioned yourself the cost$ so when the light of this versus that cost is definitely a factor sometimes.
What comes across clearly from your review is that you do seem to love the vehicle and to me it does seem fantastic value for money considering things like the galvanised frame, aluminium body, the many quality components (seats, transmission, suspension, brakes etc). However for me in the UK the physical size and weight make it difficult to own. Not just because of the resulting fuel consumption (it's OVER $7 a gallon here), it also I believe means it's classed as a commercial vehicle making insurance difficult and expensive and can only be driven at a max of 60mph instead of 70mph etc.
Thanks for the video mate, seen these advertised and just doing a bit of research. Im about 105 kg, wondering if it would sink in the middle with me too.
Not as much as with me! In all candor I am not sure and it seems this kayak is no longer in the catalog so perhaps the newer models have addressed this
Excellent video Dick. I followed it to the letter and it worked a treat. Did you ever find out about the smart alternator cable? I left off as you did. Many thanks!!!!
The only things I have seen more recently about the smart alternator is contradictory. First CTEK sent a note and said it is normally not hooked up in a consumer application. But also I have seen replies from CTEK that say hook it up if unsure. With my Grenadier stuck in San Diego waiting to be diagnosed after crapping out in Mexico I have not had the chance to really do much else with it.
Yeah I saw that. I hope that gets fixed ASAP. Good luck! A quick vid of solar up and running would be great. By installing the 250 I’ve just future proofed right now for a big trip next year. So still looking at the solar solution.
I think you will enjoy it. It is a beautiful island and the ride was very nice. Be sure to swing into the local shop along the trip for some cheese and wine-it makes a great lunch!
Absolutely enjoy your channel! I only found it today after looking at tons of the same Ineos channels with the same worthless content. I have owned at least six Jeeps over the years and have been considering the Ineos Grenadier Trial Master. My only worry is that I'll get in nowhere Moab, which will break down with no parts available. Your Baha trip put me at ease on that point.
Thanks for the review.... No way in hell my big and tall butt would buy that thing... It bent waaaaaay to much.. You should consider a sea eagle fast track 385.. No bend and I used to be substantially heavier at 370lb plus ... My fast track finally blew a seam, so I'm back in search mode for a newer kayak.
hahah-one must try but this one is definitely for a smaller person and it would have been helpful if they had talked about paddler weight instead of total boat capacity.
Where are you in Illinois? I am in Naperville. I would love your advice on buying a new winch for my Fieldmaster, I did not order the factory winch but have the auxiliary battery and overhead switches so ready to go. Just need to get a winch.
Howdy neighbor, we are over in Geneva. Buying a non-factory winch for the Grenadier is a bit tough at this point as I am not sure anyone makes a winch ready bumper, so I am not sure that I can be of much assistance. That being said I have to think these bumpers are on someones drawing board and will be available in the not too distant future.
Dick, that looks awesome. I really like how your grill fit right in. $600 USD is expensive, but you can tell it's a high-end product. The cutting board/knife combination is brilliant. It's going to last a while . A shelf under the main table would be nice. It would probably reduce lateral wobble and give more storage space.
Just acquired the 10” frying pan from REI and a 12” bbq pan with removable handle from Costco ($15!). Both of them had well finished handles, so Oxo has fixed that issue.
I just picked up the grill pan at Costco as well but have not had the opportunity to use it yet but you are right, they have redesigned the handle and more comfortable now.
A new cast iron skillet or carbon steel skillet can stick even when deep frying-which is why most manufacturers tell you to use more oil than you think you will need with a new pan. That is why I was so impressed with this one. Sorry you are sensitive to oil in a pan.
Season the pan, butter and flour it, heat the ring on high for 3 minutes. add the mix to the pan * leave the heat on high for 1 minute. Time this! If you turn the heat down too soon, the bread will be dry, and if you leave it too long, the bottom will burn. * After 1 minute, turn the heat down to medium. Let the bread bake for 3 minutes less than the time shown on the package for baking in an 8”x8′′ pan. Perfect every time no burning.
Oh dang, Dick! Sorry to hear about your knee!!! I'm sure you will make a full recovery, but it's going to take time. So, with that, I hope everything goes well and you're back at it in no time!👍🙏🙏🙏
