Re: cooling your tent or van

So, after getting all caught up with building a CORE project (Boston Cod Piece) and an awesome camp shade structure I didn't have enough time to finish my first bucket cooler. No worries, I thought, I'll just send off the bucket, pump, fan and hose ring on the container with our big fish, I'll cut t...

Re: cooling your tent or van

Re: cooling your tent or van

Long time lurker, first time poster. I just wanted to give a heads up that I bought a http://www.goldengadgets.com/400lph-dc-power-submersible-fountain-pond-water-pump.html water pump and it doesn't seem to be working so great due to faulty workmanship. I had to loosen the faceplate to get the impel...
