    'Road Shower' Solar pressurized roof monted shower

    We built one of these out of black ABS pipe years ago. The ABS didn't transfer heat very well so the water was never really warm enough to be worth it. A metal tube would be better. You could do clear PVC and paint the bottom half black? You could also mount a copper or stainless rod down the...

    Going to Havasupai

    Thanks John, Brian and Trevor. I think I'll stick with dialing in what I have instead of going too crazy. Rent a lens and call it good. I'll check out the mentioned photographers. As was said, youtube is good and bad and its difficult for guys like me to tell the difference. I have used...

    Going to Havasupai

    John and Brian-I appreciate and can see both of the views on the subject of Dx lens purchases. I think a decision has to be based on the the time value of money and the ultimate intent of the photographer. I bought my D90 as a learning tool with the ultimate goal of taking gallery quality...

    Going to Havasupai

    Great recommendations guys. I have always planned on moving up to a full frame, but need to develop my skills a little more before I can justify the jump. I'll check on the lenses you all have mentioned and see if they are available local to rent. If not, have you all used any of the online...

    power film charging

    The Cruiser will be 13 miles away from camp. We are basically hiking to the bottom of the grand canyon. I will try a different cig. charger adapter. This was an aftermarket that works in the car but maybe its a no go with the solar panel. My second reason for breaking out the solar panels...

    power film charging

    I was able to charge my nikon batteries yesterday but still nothing with the apple products. Am I going to have to filter the charge through a battery or something to get the Iphones and Ipods to charge? What other options do I have?

    power film charging

    A few years ago I purchased a bunch of powerfilm stuff and have not had time to use it. I have a 15 and two 5 watt solar panels, female cig sockets, solarguard charge controller and a daisy chain for hooking the panels together. I'm prepping for a group trip down into Havasupai and would like...

    Havasupai group trip Food

    So I'm taking 25 people down into Havasupai this June and am trying to liven up the menu a little. It's a 13 mile hike in but the Helocopter can take 20 bags of gear for $200 so I may be using that option a little. I have Mountain House dinners available and will bring the standby of Ramen as...

    Going to Havasupai

    So I'm taking a youth group (25 people) down to Havasupai at the end of June. Yes I know its going to be hot but that's when we could fit it into the majority of the schedules out there. I'm one of those shotgun photographers, take as many pictures as possible and sooner or later something...

    Tiny stoves

    I've used my jetboils in Alaska on our 100 mile river float trips in driving rain, much stronger than 12mph winds with no issue at all. That's at close to sea level. Boils just fine every time. I live at 5k feet and play up to 10k feet. I've noticed boil times extend a little up near 10k...

    young photographers to watch

    Art must either be in the eye of the beholder or something becuase most of the photos I saw from these artists did nothing for me. I guess I need to start saving the fuzzy random shots I take. No offense meant. I'm also the guy that laughs at the pile of paper plates roped off at the modern...

    Nice gun Scott. I've got at least two AR's worth of parts piled around my desk right now and not a single one put together. Now if you can just find ammo for sale.
