Hello from Mexico! First encountered this place when I had a question about ice and ice chests. Thank you for all your answers. I am now well prepared for this discussion next camping trip (July 4, 2013). Speaking of this place…WOW! I knew the internet had everything, but you Dopers have shed a new light on that. Thanks for opening the door. Happy to be here! ---

Hi from Canada, **harmonicamoon**. One of the things I love about this place is the international stuff - getting perspectives from around the world is just priceless. ---
