    303 Protectant

    I love 303. I use it for the rain fly and cover (PVC on my Eez-Awn), but not for the fabric in my case (canvas).

    First Tent Camping Trip

    Looking good! How do you fit 7 people into the jeep? Does it have a 3rd row? We just had our fifth. Used to use the back of the 4Runner for sleeping space. That along with the RTT on the Chaser was enough room and quick/easy setup. We just got a Kodiak 10x10. We'll try it for the first...

    What kind of drawer latching system are you using?

    I believe I found a few different ones that had different latch depths. Southco is another company to check. But I had the same dilemma since even with a deeper latch, 1/2-3/4" of wood wouldn't be strong enough for me to trust. I was simply going to add a metal plate a few inches wide...

    What kind of drawer latching system are you using?

    I did something similar with the first drawer I made (had to re-do it to half-width later when we needed the seating capacity). Worked fine; no rattles. See the upper right corner of the drawer:

    What kind of drawer latching system are you using?

    I like paddle latches. The natural pulling action to open the drawer un-latches them and you can just slam them closed. That said, when I built my drawer, I used these: Along with a gas strut mounted inside the drawer/frame. One end attaches to the middle of the right side of the frame...

    Gore-tex Parka

    I have the LLBean Maine Warden's Parka. It is an excellent jacket. Very warm, waterproof (Gore-Tex) and quality construction. Highly recommended. Edit: I see now that the new version (3-in-1) is not the one I have. Apparently it is not as well-liked by people who have used both. Nice...

    How is the DeLorme PN-40?

    I think you're right; I was thinking about the Spot that specifies Li batteries only. Well they're both orange! In any case, I was not happy with the battery life with Li batteries. With rechargeable NiMH it is not as big an issue cost-wise, so I may need to switch to those. Not a...

    How is the DeLorme PN-40?

    I like my PN-40 a lot except for battery life. It is horrible in my opinion. I do lots of all-day hikes with the family and like to leave it on to save the track. I get 1-2 hikes per set of batteries. I have the DeLorme rechargeable and it is worse. Fully charged, it doesn't show full on...

    Yeti coolers

    x2. We have a Galaxy 80 qt. On a recent 6-week trip in NM, AZ, UT, CO, we ALWAYS got over a week of ice (we never really had to push it since ice was always easily available), but probably would have been able to get 2 weeks. Besides friendly, personal customer service, the cooler is VERY...

    Cheap parts off 2006 4Runner

    Based on an estimate of 35lbs for the front and 35lbs for the rear, I'd guess about $70: https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc/request?loc=en_US&WT.svl=SubNav You'd just pay whatever actual cost is once its packaged up and weighed by UPS, but I can't imagine it would be much different from that estimate.

    What multi axis hitch do you prefer?

    We did about 6000 miles this trip; maybe 1500 off pavement. The looseness became evident the first time on whoops due to the clanking sound it started making, but I have no idea if that specific motion contributed to the loosening. Its good to know that others have not seen this with some...
