    SoDak's M101A2 build

    So got a bit more done this weekend... Got the tongue finished up. Will probably do a redesign at some point. My son, always willing to point out my mistakes :), noticed the tongue was a bit crooked. it is centered at the front, but just a hair off. I don't really like it as it sits and want...

    The Contraption - a M101A3 Build

    That's a nice Jeep setup too. Have a friend that has the exact top. There was a big group here locally that went out last weekend and we missed due to a prior commitment. I was upset.... :) I am picking up a bunch of steel today to start on a temporary rack to get us in the game. Eventually...

    SoDak's M101A2 build

    Did just a little bit of work last night. Got some initial welding done on the tongue. Don't laugh, I am pretty much a novice, but got good penetration even if the welds don't look that great. Will work on finishing up the tongue and try and get the nose jack mounted this weekend. Spent some...

    The Contraption - a M101A3 Build

    Looks good. I have the same harbor freight jack for a nose jack. Not welded on yet. My CVT was originally on top of my jeep. Couldn't make the jump to the Denali, too big for that, so have a Rainier extended. Looks like yours will fit the trailer perfectly. Are you throwing the AEV wheels on...

    Compact Camp Chairs: The Ultimate Review

    Don't get me wrong, I really like it, but it hits me just under the armpits, and I have pretty broad lats. Just cant sit in it for hours on end. Typically don't have to though. I like it as I don't pay much of a weight penalty to carry it.

    Non-touristy quick dry clothing

    I had a bunch of REI points, so mine were "free" and a lot of the backcountry elk hunting guys wear them, and rave about them on western hunting forums. Although not a hunting brand, they are very durable. They do dry really quickly. Look great, I definitely prefer them over jeans. Wish I had...

    Non-touristy quick dry clothing

    Prana Zion. I wear them to work, casually, hiking and hunting. Great all around pants. Can be a bit pricey. If you really want to spend money, KUIU makes some great pants in solids. the Attack pants are some of my favorites. I have two pairs. Both of mine are camo, but if they were...

    Compact Camp Chairs: The Ultimate Review

    Ive got the little Helinox. It is decent. Better than sitting on the ground. Fits in one of the wing pockets of my pack. Super light, could be a tad bit more comfortable, but I fill it out pretty well if you know what I mean.

    Wood Fuel Firepit/Stove

    I know it is exactly what you guys are talking about, but my stove is capable of boiling water, and with a small frying pan, can cook very well. It is not capable of grilling so to speak. I actually bought it just to keep my backpacking/backcountry hunting tent warm, but it is not bad at...

    My low buck & low tech camper

    Before I looked at where you were from, my first thought was he must be in Western SD. Pretty close. :) (I grew up in Sturgis) Cool projects.

    looking for an ultralight tent

    Bearpaw wilderness designs, luna series and some others in Cuben fiber are well under 2 lbs. Floorless, though. Hexatent is 22 ounces in Cuben. Throw in a sheet of tyvek for a ground cloth, ultra light. setup overall. You can add some screens(Optional) but obviously adds to the weight...

    Auction trailers

    Touche...but there are 8. Last group I looked at were noted on forums and I paid next to nothing. Can't imagine there are millions people that surf this forum that are regionally located that all want M101's that might actually hit this one lone thread, even with a search engine. I'll keep an...

    Auction trailers

    In no way affiliated, so if this isn't allowed, please remove, but noticed on GovPlanet that there are 8 M101 a2's and A3's up for auction on March 8th. They are located at fort Benning, so if you are close, might be a good way to pick one up cheaply.

    Just My Opinion - Why Have a Trailer You Can't Sleep In?!

    I am(or will be when the trailer is finished) set up to put the tent either on the trailer or on top of the jeep. Even my little harbor freight trailer was a godsend when just camping, still running the tent on the roof. We like to do a little rock crawling too, and it is nice to not have the...
