Starting from scratch, what's the best model?
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2011 12:14 pmI'm looking to build my own TD, and am only just barely beginning to venture into the world of TTT camping. (I only discovered there was such a thing about 2 months ago 
)
My purpose is to travel the country for 3 years, camping pretty much non-stop. All weather, all areas of the country.
My ideas are, I'd like a non-traditional type TD. That is, I want one that, when cooking, I don't have to be standing outside. I found the Kampmaster Wildgoose, which opens up so you can walk all the way into it. It greatly appealed to me, but I'm also wondering, is there any other model that would serve my purpose just as well? I'm willing to buy plans to build online, but don't want to commit to something not fully researched.
For you cold weather (and rainy weather) campers, what have you done to keep out of the cold when cooking? Are there instructions for modifying the plans I've already found on this forum anywhere?
Also, I'm not an experienced builder at all. My dad is, and he'll be helping me, so I'm sorry if some of my questions seem pointless because of my lack of knowledge.
