Great photos and what a family treasure. Do not let it get away from you. I have never played with older wooden hull/frame/canvas canoes...but have done some work on the canoes I have and for me the feel and look of wood has always resulted in having wooden gunnells (upper hull perimeter trim...

The previous posters have given some great advice. Over the years I've played with sit in and sit on top and enjoyed both. Try renting a few times and trying each...you may find features that you love that mean little to someone else. At least once rent one with a rudder. The plastic boats...

"...but I am interested in what you guys had to share as far as choosing/using/transporting a hand gun". Choosing and using: Since you have the Mossburg shotgun...you have the long gun aspect already filled. The range of available shell loadings, barrels, stocks and the like that can be put...

Ive done a fair bit of camping in a van and in back of my truck with a cap...often in the South in summer. Your trying to live/sleep in an oven unless: You address two major areas, your first concern is direct heat/sunlight: You need to block direct sun thru windows and have some insulation...

Very nice van! I had an old Ford van and since you added the "flip out windows"...just some recollections: Window screens; Once you try the fantastic fan without the screens...you'll really like this idea...just use plastic type screening and sew velcro around the perimeter with a backing...

I'm wondering why we don't see more "tin" camper shells these days? Like this? Ok, my old '95 Chevy is a bit worn, but hell, I got the cap off Craigslist about 10 years ago for $75.00 and as long as this truck runs... Pros: I can take it off/put on in about 15, by myself. I do this about 4...

Great product, but too late for my JK as I already added a small lock box up front for special tools & stuff (I'll stay away from any gun related arguements) - but a copy of say your drivers license, a $50.00 bill or a credit card kept here can really save your day after you loose your wallet...

At times, it can be a bit of a challenge to steer kids away from the IPOD and such....on a whim, we bought a simple field microscope before a recent camping trip. We got this: http://www.amazon.com/Carson-Micro-Brite-Pocket-Microscope/dp/B000Z3A8UY/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5 It is a simple, cheep kids...

You know that is a critical observation that I forgot to mention! As far as I know (at least in my state - Virginia) if your on public land with a loaded weapon...during hunting season...your hunting and all the firearm rules apply...even if your just camping or carrying for some sort of...

I carry one at times camping/hunting...and it can draw a bit more attention when carried out and about... You can somewhat minimize the attention you draw by carrying it slinged and leave the tactical lights & glass off, switch to the full stock, as well as using shorter mags. For those who...

Hope this counts as "carrying a blade"... Just some food for thought...I have a full size axe in my truck, sort of a left over; but over the past few years the small to mid size axe has been left behind...I found that a good quality small folding pruning saw worked (cut) much better, was much...

I love pheasant hunting!!! For any reading this thread who haven't done it, you should try...even just walking public lands looking for these birds is one of life's great pleasures...fits in with camping/overlanding. Taste great too! My trusty 870 12ga. has accounted for quite a few. The...

Excellent write up. Shows what you can do with a simple system w/o and electric winch. Two suggestions: I seem always to drop the *#% shackle pin at least once every rig up...I finally figured out that the small hole in the end screw pin is for threading the biggest and longest flex tie you...

Hey, welcome! I am starting to read posts about the Colorado as my ol '95 chevy pick up is starting to fight me at times and I am starting to think mid-size. Last summer we spent about 4 weeks touring the Gaspésie region, did the full circle route and cut across also. What a beautiful area...

This is a bit of "apples vs. oranges" but may help a bit: A few years ago I needed to reinsulate and recarpet the front cab area of my '85 BlueBird RV (this is basically a school bus chassis set up in this area...so like your truck, you have room to work, weight is not really an issue, drivers...

Ok, please check the previous post...I corrected it as to the battery info...I must have been near zombie mode when I hit/read the link cause I swear I thought it said 6 volts. Your power demands: I checked the Engle site, it appears the unit draws 2.5 amps per hour. For a full day the power...

The battery shown is rated 110 amps at 12 volts. (corrected post of this first paragraph...I don't know what happened on my first read...somehow I read the voltage was 6 volts? I apologize for my misread....the link is clearly a 12 volt battery) Anyway, now that I am awake...) But let's back...

Well it's taken 2 days...but I am now at "turkey critical mass" and am too stuffed to do anything but moan and maybe web surf. Anything worth doing... Anyway, a lot of thoughtful advice followed my post...I'll just reemphasize the main point of my post was the use of a unobtrusive lock box as...

Forgive a long post, but the topic is too important for simple answers. A previous post mentioned keeping your gun separate from "your papers", a very good idea! I have given several people "a bad moment" when they momentarly forgot what was where...but I would suggest the glove box or any OEM...
