Lol. That’s about all the terrain relief there is here in ND. Can’t wait to be back in AK next month where my backyard has that. 😂 Sorry, my buddy lives in summit and drives a ram 2500 with 35” duratracs. 🤓

Whoops. Missed that part. My bad

A buddy of mine who drives a 2500 in summit has 35” duratracs on his and would never look another direction. Generally not a ton of weight in his bed, just a tonneau. I’ve also got 35” duratracs but I’ve got a fiberglass shell and probably 150lb of fridge and camping gear in the back. I’ve had...

🙌🏼🎉 And I appreciated it. I’ll share our back seat set-up since we’ve got some similarities, although our dog shares the back seat with our mini human vs cargo. We initially had the car seat on the 40% behind the driver. Folded up the 60% and down the platform and the dog lived there on a big...

Beautiful rig! GLWS

Yeah. Totally get that. Figured the cost was worth the space savings vs our current action packers (which will move to our xterra play-around build). So far… not much to say. Quality looks good, fit is great between lid and crate, dividers are awesome. Kid-friendly in the sense our daughter...

This is the encouragement I needed today. I think I can make the potty now. 😂

Thanks. It’s got plus/minus marks for sure. We tried to avoid cosleep as long as we could camping (and in general) for many reasons, but in the end had to cave. Lots of our family camping in these first few years have been at designated campgrounds, which means neighbors. And no one wants upset...

Short sidio crates arrived. Test fit in the upper cubby holes and pretty stoked. Started transferring camp/kitchen stuff and then the wee toddler got involved, so we made nearly zero progress on that yet. But excited to be bringing v2 of mimimizing chaos up to speed. I also was able to get...

This is the exact tactic we tried with our habitat and infant/toddler. Had an external side ladder up to the zippered “loft” door for the wife and I and the dogs would go into their area in the back seat of the truck Worked pretty decently except that the pack n play took up a huge part of...

Love watching this rig progress and travel. Such a clean build. I see you found the Maclaren though!!! One of my all time favorite places. What has you up in AK?? We are moving back up next month. Can’t wait for next summer to get back out and explore in our ‘18 PW (will be highly dependent...

I ran 6-ft lengths of l-track on the passenger side of my power wagon, sitting in the lower part of the bed “ridges” and use them to secure both my fridge (ARB 73l) and cabinet unit. Drilled every other hole and bolted through the bed with big ol’ fender washers on the bottom side. Yes, had to...

Haha. I get threatened with divorce whenever I bring up going back. Something something “our daughter” 😂 WAIS divide is about 6000’ of ice under the surface. Pole is about 9000’ of ice under surface. Both reach ground above mean seal level. At the water line depends on a lot… thickness...

Kiwi program runs all diesel to the best of my knowledge. US program runs mainly a gas light truck/passenger van fleet, then all equipment and heavies are diesel running mostly on jp5 or an8 (Antarctic blend jet fuel). Buildings use a blend of the two for boilers and generators. Aircraft use...

A few more vehicle ones Loading a C17 at Phoenix ice runway Delta scharen at our loading pad. Could take up to 1800gal of diesel/jet and disperse to facilities and equipment around the McMurdo area A flat bed delta being used to mule mogas out to a day tank near Williams field skiway Kiwi...

+1 here. Used them for work back when I did parks/rec work many moons ago and bought one over a decade ago. Still is my go-to for quick clear/cut

Nice thread! I spent a few years working as a Fuelie down for the USAP, based mainly in McMurdo but have been to Pole and Palmer and WAIS divide and many field camps. Met my wife there. Antarctica will always be a special place to us. Here’s some of my stories: Winter in McMurdo WAIS Divide...

Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I’ll cross reference to the actual mvum since it’ll show where you can/cannot dispersed camp based on management and property boundaries. I just make sure to pay attention to whichever side the dots are on.

If you haven’t yet, check out COTREX which is a multi-agency partnership app in Colorado that allows you to select activity then gives you routes cues to that. It’s free through the app stores. Pretty much my go-to when exploring CO at this point, backed up by Avenza and the actual mvum/travel...

Not me personally. I’m over dealing with unnecessary headaches at this point. So the discount becomes irrelevant. The right deal can be found elsewhere with less potential hoops and negotiations and issues down the line. We looked for a few months for a power wagon, and then the right deal...
