Plastic Leveling Blocks

We took a trip to Alaska and found that the majority of the campgrounds in the north country have rock/gravel sites. We started out with two set of plastic leveling blocks. After 4 months of moving every couple of nights our blocks are all broken. The underside of them did not fare well in the rocks........Had I known the rocks were this prevalent I would have made wood bottom pieces to set them on.....

    Did you use the Lynx Levelers? I have used mine in gravel almost every time I have setup for the last few years and there is no damage to them.

    Mine are and the same thing happened to me on my Alaska trip this summer. Luckily I was camped in a friend's backyard and I just borrowed some good wooden blocks from his workshop.

  • Can not beat good old fashioned god given WOOD! Plentiful and flexible, most ALL lumber stores have scrap pieces that they will give you!! Just ask at the lumber counter,,WE have a Redwood Lumber yard close to us,, i was purchasing some fencing and mentioned I could use a few small 2x10 or 2x8's, The lumber guy asked how long,, I said 24" to 36", told me I could have anything I found in there scrap bin next to there cut saw,,, I have enough for myself and a buddy... Doesn't hurt to ask!!

    P.S.we happened to buy wood from a camp host,,it was damp wood and hard to start,, I sacrificed a few on my 2x10 levelers and got a good fire going!!

    Or just use wood, 2X10's would work.
