OK, yes that's true. Good thing in Communist America you have choices, for a while more anyway. I think it's a clever saw and apparently there's enough other fools to keep them in business. It seems like a lot easier cutting firewood with any of them than with a handheld Sawzall blade. I...

Also remembered that I have another folding bow saw, a Coghlan's that's also a 21" blade. The frame says "Made in Canada" and the blade "Sweden" FWIW. It's a little cheaper feeling, some of it's plastic and a bit more crude in design but when assembled the blade is taut and cuts fine. I would...

Indeed it is true that it's not a true bow saw so compromises are made. I find that mine (21") clears about an 8" diameter completely in the middle of the peak. But it's really no different than a regular bow saw. It's an inherent limitation in the design of any saw that supports the blade at...

I bought my Sven saw in 1994 and it's still working fine. Love stuff that just does what it's supposed to do. Just go for the 21" and $45 for something that's been made in USA since 1961 and your kids will inherit isn't bad. It'll chew through all kinds of lumber. Yeah, bow saw blades aren't...

These guys didn't need no stinking motor.

There's a cottage industry of backcountry hunters who'd disagree that light and ultralight backpacking is not compatible with firearms.

You might want to check with Victron or at least look in a manual to see if their devices are OK to parallel. DC-DC chargers and solar controllers aren't dumb devices just blindly feeding voltage and current. They are running control loops that measure the battery condition to determine...

This is right. I have a Victron DC-DC charger, specifically a 220 watt Orion, to maintain my house and have a 15A Morningstar solar controller. As a test I tried feeding into the starter but I have only 100W of solar, so I don't come close to saturating my solar controller and am much lower...

Normally changing the GVWR requires a manufacturer that's DOT recognized. It's not something you can do randomly as a mechanic or engineer. The OEM is of course the first and usually the only one that can do it but it's done by upfitters or limo builders. In those cases the GVWR may not be...

Is this a new knife or an old one?

Cell providers do prioritize bandwidth, but it's not an easy solution. Suffice to say that if you're using cell data it's best to be a regular subscriber on the company's network, e.g. be a Verizon post-paid unlimited user on a Verizon tower. The carriers also will move users up and down in...

GPX wouldn't be the way to get this into Google Earth. You'll need a KML or KMZ and the USFS wants you do get that though the USFS ArcGIS Geospatial hub. Use the KML option here, one for roads and one for trails: https://data-usfs.hub.arcgis.com/explore?query=mvum This will just give you...

FYI, it's only double cab trucks that had these captured nuts. You didn't say what you have. I'm not 100% sure all double cabs do, either. I just know regular and access cab do not. The nuts are standard Toyota (e.g. JIS) M6-1.0 size and pitch. Lengths will depend...

BTW, something that came to mind in the constant search for greener pastures. Selling a 2006 to get a 2012+ opens you to the secondary air pump failure. Which may be covered under a recall but only if yours has a check engine light on for it. If the valve or pump, whatever it is, fails it can...

The head gasket issues are said to be build dates prior to November or December 2005. But that's based on somewhat anecdotal evidence. One is a poll on TacomaWorld, which is statistically pretty meaningless. A somewhat more compelling argument is part number 11116-31011 shows an effective...

Just one small addendum to @86scotty's excellent info. First is that it's true that most use the Secop/Danfoss and in that regard the significant difference is if it's an actual Danfoss or a copy. If it's a legitimate one such as the major brands will use then the difference in performance...

As KC3NSR mentions for simple and rugged it's hard to beat plain old 1/4λ mounted on the roof. I've always had good luck with the STI-CO Flexi-whips. These aren't cheap but if you look closely to the antennas they mount on wildland fire trucks and that sort of thing these are what you'd find...

Wow, that's a lot different. I've only ever owned this MT45, 16 years now, so I thought they were all worked about the same. Mine probably runs 10 or 15 times an hour, high duty cycle but fairly short periods.

I have small packs that do this and it's annoying. The problem is what they sense as activity is just enough more than a few loads I want to keep constantly powered. But the design intention for those little portable packs is to charge a phone or tablet that would consume on the order of 12W...

The system is an extension of Inmarsat ELERA used for IoT devices. The underlying technology is driven by MediaTek and the 3GPP 5G NTN initiative (3rd generation partnership project 5G non-terrestrial network). It's different from Inmarsat phones but is an existing system intended for short...
