I am alway impressed with guys like Kurt and Paul May that are making a go of it. We all need to support these guys more often than we do. Especially me. Last point before I head off to the Aquarium with the kids. I am banging my head against the wall right now trying to work with our...

Excellent additions to the conversation Kurt and Articulate(sorry don't know your name). Articulate expressed much clearer what I was trying to get accross earlier. Kurt, SLA's have come a long way in the last year alone. We paid about $3k for an SLA the size of a snorkel 5 years ago and...

Andre-Heard the same thing. 1/2 hr court appearence and the guy gets the death sentence. Sure it was a fair trial. I don't think there is a country out there that isn't messed up in one way or another, but that is jacked up. For single use stuff I think paper templates are just fine. We use...

I've said it before here and I'll say it again, the Chinese can make a lot of nice stuff. In my industry, like most, a lot of stuff is going overseas because of labor rates. Materials are almost even, but labor is where the savings come in. My main Chinese supplier had actually started...

I actually have some experience with this topic:wings: Years ago I used to manage the service department at one of the top Motorhome rental companies. Our fleet of rigs were a little different from say CruiseAmerica. Each rig was privately owned. Most of our owners were just looking for tax...

It may not be common knowledge, but having discussed this with Powerfilm recently i found out that they introduced midyear last year a weatherproof stick on series of panels. They were in the same price range as thier other roll up panels. I was going to have them send me one for "testing"...

The water cans can be had for $18 each with free shipping, $50 minimum from buylci.com. I just got three more in.

I would assume the owner can be tracked down and is responsible for removing the rest of the boat? Was the hull damaged when it came ashore or did someone else just strip it in the opportunity? I have a friend that has sunk two large house boats in deep water in Lake Powell and has had to have...

Who knew kids in Canada were better able to play on playground equipment at an earlier age?

I agree with trevor and others here. I'll be checking my renewal later this year. I carry a PLB as well as the spot. The spot is mainly used for the tracking mode so my family and friends know where I am. It has been worth the price of admission just for my wife to see I'm still alive.

I hound. We went out the Pony express trail here in Utah and collected some very nice Geodes and Trilobites this past spring. My grandparents got me into it and my kids are always excited to go. We've collected petr. wood, apache tears, panned for gold, collected Opal in Spencer Idaho...

Mountianpete is right. Using mine in Alaska ran into service 70% of the time. We had clear sky view 100% of the time. We lost tracking for 3 full days as we rounded the north side of large hill on a 10 day float trip. As far as trees, my spot did not work here in Utah in a wide canyon with...

The dealer down the road from me had all his clunkers in a huge side lot. I drove around because I had seen an 80 series Landcruiser(I'm a cruiser guy, don't hate me) from the freeway. It was a 91 or 92 in pretty nice shape. As I drove aroudn I counted 4 Discovery's, sorry don't know how to...

I'll see what i've got at work if you want some more. We bring in 8'x8' pallets of coextruded acrylic/ABS that must be kept moisture free before Vac.Forming. There is usually 1-2 of those brown hand sized packets of Dessecant on each pallet. As a bonus the wrap all the plastic in silver tarp...

I see these come up on the Mitilary auctions sites all the time for about $10 a box, but you have to buy a hud load of them. Some of them even come with an air bleed valve so you don't have to pry them open with the altitude changes. We throw out tons of those dessicant bags every day at work...

There are a couple threads here about high end coolers. Yeti, Galaxy(iceekool) and Engel all make them. I own the Engel 65 qt. It may get used a little less now that I have my fridge. The Engel and the Yeti are almost identical. I really like the Galaxy. A little more rough around the...

Here is a You tube video of the same stove and the link to the post when I tested the first one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdmBl95rhLo http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24983&highlight=thermette

FYI Cheaper than dirt just got a shipment of these Swiss Ranger Aluminum stoves in. I've got one that I picked up a year ago and they work great for boiling a few cups of water with twigs or grass. They were originally designed for a small liquid fuel stove to fit in it's side, but those are...

With Dan's attitude at times I'm surprised he didn't take the guy out and put him in a hole in the west desert. My game plan is to keep the outside of my house as crappy looking as possible while my neighbors all have nice homes. Who's going to break into the guy's house that doesn't have two...

When your packing light for extended foot travel or for a 100mile float trip with a 200 mile Beaver plane drop, packing all the extra gizmos adds weight. This last trip we even threw out most of the guns and ammo as we headed into bear country for 10 days as we were over the limit. Every...
