    Big Bend NP Expedition Report 2/27/08-3/2/08

    Road conditions were excellent. The park apparently re-grades the roads towards the beginning of each year depending on conditions and rainfall. This didn’t provide much by way of challenges, but it did allow us to cover a lot of terrain and see more of the park. 1st day: Nugent Mountain. Easy...

    Cedar Shower Deck

    Okay, so I decided it was time to stop showering in my sandals and build a shower deck to stand on that would also allow the water to drain. I built this out of cedar in the hopes that it will resist the affects of continued use, because I didn't want to put any finish on it and have to maintain...

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a great domestic or international dealer for the Firestone Coil-Rite product. I would like to purchase a set for my rear springs on my 2001 Montero/Pajero/Shogun; however, the domestic manufacturer's website doesn't list it as available. The European...

    Organizing the Food/Beer in Your Fridge

    So, after several months with my new ARB fridge, I still haven't found the perfect way to organize my food. For a multi-day journey, I typically have the thing filled all the way to the top or close to it. When it's this full, I like the fact that the beer bottles and other items don't bang...
