At The 4×4 Podcast, we see the offroad vehicle as more than just a toy. It is a tool to be used in meeting all your outdoor recreation needs. What has your offroad vehicle done for you lately? In this photo, your 4×4 Podcast host Dan, harvested a 250 lb caribou cow in Alaska. She’s going to taste delicious cooked up on my @tembotusk Skottle! Or maybe in @lodgecastiron dutch oven. OR BOTH!

Offroading 101:  tow points. What they are and what they are not.

Outdoor Edibles:  cooking fuel. All compressed gases cool as they are used. In cold climates this can cause fuel nozzles to freeze and your burner will go out. Lines will also freeze. An alternative is to use natural material for an actual camp fire cooking, charcoal, or a non compressed gas like a dual fuel stove or white gas.
