New outdoor cooking and offgrid ham radio ideas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Now that winter is almost behind us I want to set up the new Land Cruiser for offgrid ham radio, camping and outdoor cooking. I try out the new 'kitchen' in the back of the vehicle plus try an idea for a suitcase radio, it will probably not work out 😌
Kit used:
Icom IC-706
DX Commander pole
Endfed antenna from www.radio-stuf...
Portable power technology- Powerpack 450+
Onetigris Fortress tent
I am a Brit living in the US. It is absolute heaven for any outdoorsman. Millions upon millions of acres of public land you are free to do almost anything on. Areas out west where you can camp for a month and never even see another person. I love that part of the US.

I have the Mk1 706. That and my Yaesu 897D are my two main radios, and I love them; don't need anything much else, except my only nod to digital, a C4 fusion FTM-7250D.
I really do enjoy your videos!
I can tell you from personal experience the Toyota Prado is an excellent vehicle. I spend most of my working life driving these around the Australian outback, they never go wrong. The only thing that's ever failed is headlamp bulbs.
Best of luck with the land cruiser Carl..
They’re a great wagon.
hey Carl..ı love your portable set up and your vıdeos...De Ta3IID....73...
Things just have to be organized. Dont worry Carl your not alone with that. I have purchased that very same 20m antenna. Gonna try it out this weekend. Another great vid. Cheers 🙂
Can't beat some proper cooking when you're camping. I've no idea why people think they've got to slum it with cans of all day breakfast and lacklustre burgers. I like that tent! I've got a little 2p Vango, but I have to sit cross legged on the floor and slump a bit to play with the radio.
Icom 7100! Mount it in the vehicle fixed with antennas wired up, then the remote head is just one long cable to throw to the front, rear, tent, canopy, park bench, etc.
Thanks again Carl good video and the cooking Hi 73 de G6JMX
Hello, I hope you are well. I love your videos, they have just got better over time. But always enjoyed them from much earlier. I especially love the ham radio and outdoor cooking blend. Best wishes. de Dave, 2E0WDT
Really enjoy these videos. I'll be on the site of the old Rolling M Ranch at Chino Hills State Park in California on 7 May UTC doing pretty much the same thing: camping, cooking (osso buco), and making amateur radio QSOs. Cheers and 73! DE W6KSR
Love your cooking segments Carl, one of my interests is portable / camping operations, so one needs to eat as well as work DX !!
Hope so much i could do this. 73's, Damien
I'd need a floor in that tepee/tent if I was POTA, you always got the car as a great back up though 🙂
Agree Carl ! . . . It's no good when your 'Bits and Bobs' are all over the place ! 🙂
Inspirational as always.
Great video!
You CHAPS sure know how too live it up.
Hi Carl, loving the portable setup and the new vehicle. Just missing a Whitby Pocket warmer and you’ve smash it 🙂 Thanks for the video. M7BCN
Ahhh the famous cast iron pot! Man I wish I could eat that stuff again but my gerd and Barrett's esophagus won't let me. I can smell it now! You'll get things sorted out in time Carl.
Thanks for bringing us along! 73 and cheers!
In my 110 i have 2 x 110ah batteries via a split charge system. One 50amp anderson socket by the rear seats and externally, one socket front and rear. An extension lead into the tent into a ciggie socket and 2xusb sockets provides power for charging phones etc. Forgot to add, my FT857 also has anderson plug so i can plug in for power in either socket. Good luck
Thanks for taking us along. You'll have the new vehicle sorted in no time.
Noticed the SnugPak gear....I've got the SnugPak hammock and hammock cocoon, they are my go to gear for overnights outdoors.
Like that you're always giving something new a try.
Mate, you need a tent which has a floor incorporated in it to stop the rising damp!!!!! Nice video and scenery. Sorry mate, but confirms why I no longer go camping.
Carl, I really like your new radio setup with your new vehicle, I especially like your food prep area, what a great idea! Again a great video I really enjoyed watching it and thank you for sharing, can't wait for your future radio outings.
For your next vehicle you should look at a Mitsubishi Delica, L400 early 2000 model.
Extremely capable 4X4, but in 7/8 seater MPV style,
Whip the rear seats out and you can make a very compact camper, with bed :)
I'm just planning a layout for my Radio Waggon :) for 4 season use, inc heater.
My plan is to use a Radio with removable head so I can use whilst driving, then unplug for use out of the vehicle.
It's all trial and error Carl, if something doesn't work one way try it another, great video by the way
Thanks for the video. I do feel like I am coming along for the trip not just watching. And that is a GOOD thing. 73 Leo
Great video as usual, I prefer the land-rover though, it's just more preppy and mil like.
I bought an awning for my jeep and hoping to setup up under that this summer. I made some sides for it to close it in to provide a wind break. It came with one side but I wanted all sides closed in to sleep like your thinking of doing. Very nice Carl you will get this vehicle all setup I'm sure 73s Don
You need to go to BC to really get off-grid. Lots of free campsites to play radio. My mobile a Ford Focus 2001 won't do bush roads
Interesting how you extend the mast before erecting it. I attach mine to my stand or a post if available. then attach the wire to the top, then extend the mast sections one by one. I usually run as an inverted vee with the centre of the wire at the top of the mast.
awesome, i enjoyed watching it, thank you 🙏🏻
Brilliant! Love your videos.
I may have missed it in the comments, so I apologize. What type of drawers do you have in the back of the Toyota? I enjoy your videos. Thanks & 73.
Hi it’s this one direct4x4.co.uk/products/modular-carpeted-single-drawer-storage-unit
Hi Carl
I also have a mk1 706. Have you got a remote head connection cable? I would get two....One for the vehicle - radio in box....Remote head where you need it. 2nd cable in box with radio for when you are in tent etc. 73 m0tfy
Love the videos! Keep them coming! What antenna and mast are you using?
End fed from radio-stuff.com, pole from DX Commander.
Hello! Where did you get that antenna holder drive on plate from? Thanks!

What made you get rid of the Discovery Carl?
It came to the point where I either invested loads into the LR or cut my losses and try a vehicle that hopefully spends less time in the garage. The chassis was going to need more work and that means paying someone
@@M0SZT Completely understand Carl. I guess you can't bet the Japanese for reliability, I used to have a Nissan Patrol and that was bullet proof.
What is that thing you parked on that the mast went in?
It’s called a Drive over mast.
If the cooking does not work out just call pizza delivery :-) . 73 M7BLC
