The jPod has easily become a part of our life. Senior Management enjoys the ease & comfort of camping but also the mobility. We are both happy with the size of the jPod teardrop trailer. For a time, there was a debate in the family about whether it should be an 8 foot or 10 […]
Recently, Nathan & Erin and the jPod crew left for a quick weekend of camping. For convenience sake, we chose Heyburn State Park in the lovely state of Idaho. According to their website: “Heyburn State Park is the oldest park in the Pacific Northwest. Created in 1908, it is comprised of approximately 5,500 acres of […]
As a teacher, the bulk of my work on the jPod has to wait until summers. After classes got out for summer break, I’ve gone into overdrive mode to finish the jPod build. Any teardropper will tell you that their teardrop is never done. Yet, I want mine to reach a certain level of accomplishment […]
For about a year now, a film which documents teardrop camping in US History has been in the works. Finally, there is enough financial and informational support to start filming the aerial segments (see below for a short clip which documents this first segment of filming). This is a very exciting as a kick off […]
I am fascinated with the idea of cooking simple gourmet meals while camping. On the Camp-cook.com forum a member (jeepdad) posted his recipe for Fettuccini with Sweet Peppers and Pine Nuts with Fried Mozzarella Cheese. It looked delicious so I had to make my version of it (see my pictures at the end of this […]
Recently, I was doing some spring cleaning (cleaning up some hard drives) when I found some forgotten film footage from last summer (2009). It is of the jPod’s second trip -but first off-road adventure- on the Lolo Motorway in the Nez Perce National Forest. If you have not read the adventures of the Lolo Motorway, […]
Nothing earth shattering has happened to the chassis of the jPod in recent months. It is essentially done. However, after our adventure on the Lolo Motorway last summer, I have felt the need to put some shocks on the jPod. It was nice to do a little metal work after all of the wood work […]
This evening, as the light was fading behind some pretty dark storm clouds, I was inspired to shoot some photos & pretend that I was camping. I am like most people in that I am not able to camp every day of my life. However, those brief times when I can shoot photos by myself, […]
Two recent developments on the jPod: 1. More progress on the Galley 2. The jPod is now completely wired. Progress on the Galley Senior Management has done a lot of work helping me with the design for the Galley. Slowly, it is coming together. I’ve installed the lighting in the galley hatch & wired it […]
Y’all want some good southern food? Well here’s the DL on the Fried PICKLE. I am working on some recipes that could be good for camping this summer. I’ve decided to cook them as if I were camping so I have all of the potential issues worked out before we’re “out there”. Fried Pickles is […]
