    For the knife gurus -- I need a new knife!

    I know the bulk of this conversation has been around multi-tools, but if you ever consider the need for a knife that operates easily with one hand, I can think of no better knife than a Benchmade folding knife with their proprietary Axis lock. The Griptilian is a good knife at a reasonable...

    News on Cases = Pelican acquires Storm

    I also don't see this as a good thing. I think strong competition between two really great products benefits the consumer. Both had their strengths and both were really great cases. It's possible that inovation will slow down now that Pelican has bought their main competitor.

    Compact DSLR: Olympus 420

    Again, back on the expand the system you have idea: If wide angle is the most popular lens in the bag, and you only have a single wide angle, have you considered getting a full frame camera and getting a prime wide angle, say 18mm or 20mm? Or have you considered a linear fisheye? That could...

    Compact DSLR: Olympus 420

    Scott, I know you already own some Canon gear, but I'm not sure how heavily invested you are in their system. If you do have quite a few of their lenses already, wouldn't another body provide her with what she would need, or maybe she might also need another lens. This would depend on what...

    DeLorme PN-40 - Unlimited 1:24,000 Topos/Satellite imagery for $30/year

    PN-20 I too have been interested to learn if performance has greatly improved with the new PN-40. I love the Delorme Topo 7 software and would like the ability to ditch my Magellan Xplorist/Magellan Topo software for something else...just the screen on the Xplorist XL is too sweet for me to...

    Odd auto insurance experience

    I think it might be best for all interested parties if I took that sweet Fj60 off your hands so you don't have to switch insurance companies or worry about getting hassled about "where the brakes are" anymore. :D On a serious note, I would certainly entertain the thought of switching to a...

    D700 for $2319, move fast.

    I'm betting and hoping for the 700x and HD video that Canon (and the D90) already has. I was thinking this very same thing as well, when I noticed last month that the price on this model started to drop.

    I have two computers running Vista. A laptop/tablet running 32 bit Vista and a desktop running the 64bit version. I'm very happy with both version. For my HP laptop, I especially like the quick access to the power options so that I can quickly change the power mode to suit my current...

    educate me please 4dr jk

    If you're financing the vehicle, then all of the posts that recommend taking that extra $10K (give or take) and use it on trip costs or upgrades don't really apply. If you're financing over 5 years, buying the X, won't put $10K in cash in your pocket. It will save you about $2K/ year + the...

    New member saying hello & tire question

    This is a great tire. Good performance off road (sure, there are better) with excellent on road performance. So, like you said, if you have to compromise somewhere, you'd rather sacrifice off road performance. This tire offers a great balance. I went with this tire too for better performance...

    12 VDC power for netbooks?

    Install a dedicated outlet that draws power directly from the battery or from a junction block that runs directly to the battery. This should also be appropriately fused, of course. Then you should be able to use the cable you found at Radio Shack. I would think this should suffice. Even...

    Front Locker Question

    If these are the only two options available. I would second this opinion. Having the ARB in front and the LSD in the rear is better than open front/ARB rear. This is what I have now. As soon as ARB makes the rear locker for my truck, I will then switch out my LSD for the ARB. But, in the...
