I was very lucky My wife actually funded a good portion of our AT purchase...so no convincing needed. Actually, I think the convincing started about 3 years ago. It was her first overland trip. I wasn't sure how she'd do without running water, toilet, etc. Back then, all I had was a...

Ask him if you can try it out. It might be a bit to narrow and could be less stable than the other types mentioned; however, it really comes down to how you like it. You may find that you're able to handle it, if you have good balance. This can be such a personal thing. When I was looking at...

Thank you, gentlemen, for the compliments; very kind of you both to say so. I sure am enjoying it.

Everything is built from 3/4" plywood. I'm not worrying about waterproofing it, since it will remain inside my vehicle. I don't show them, but there's holes cut to run the air output hose, fans, switch, and cables to the battery. Here are the drawings: Here's a link to photos of the...

As soon as I tweak my drawings, I'll post them up. Also, do a search for an Extremaire install that p1michaud did. I seem to remember that he put the whole thing in one of those Rubbermaid tough boxes, but I couldn't find the exact thread or our firewall keeps removing all the photos. I'm...

I'm building a custom ventilated enclosure to keep it inside the back of my Montero. This will give me a flat deck with D rings to lash other gear on top. Thus, it won't be subjected to water, so for me it's not an issue. I don't know if submerging it is a good idea. I know that it's...

ExtremeAire Well, I finally decided on the ExtremAire with their 4 gallon tank. Over the last week I've had to call George at Extreme Outback a few times and even sent him a few drawings of a custom enclosure I'm building to hold it all. He took the time to answer my email and both my phone...

Jonathan, You summed up the appeal better than I could explain it. The emotional connection to exploration seems to be personified in the compass. Thanks for stating it better than I could. I like the idea of thinking of it as a companion on the journeys with the ability to remind me later...

Just North America right now, but that may change in the future. I know it's overkill. I guess I was starting to get lured in by the durability and ruggedness of the waterproof cast-aluminum body. I already have a good Silva compass, so this would strictly be an extravagance.

Features that caught my eye Azimuth and vertical angle (+/- 90 percent) readings are accurate to +/- 1/2 degree waterproof cast-aluminum body that's virtually indestructible Made In: United States leather carrying case

Brunton Pocket Transit International Compass I know this is a lot more expensive than your standard pocket compass, but it sure seems like a nice one. Anyone have any thoughts on this one? More info here.

Nikon D80 SLR Digital Camera Kit with 18-135mm Lens Find more info here More on the lens here. That's a lot of camera and a nice lens for only $1K.

I do hope they continue to evolve the H3; I think that platform has a lot of promise.

Check with the filling location. Mine will not. I looked into doing this to cover up scratches and prevent new ones. They clearly stated that no dark paint whatsoever. They didn't say why, but I believe it probably has to do with sunlight and heat. Also, you're right about them wanting to...

Well, tell us what you think; at least build quality if you don't have them wired up already :) Mine show up tomorrow according to UPS. Looking forward to it.

In truth, it's easier to get a bad photograph with a ton of high quality gear than it is to get a good photograph with a bad camera. This really is a chicken and egg argument. You really can't have one without the other. You need training and good gear (not necessarily the most expensive or...

Wow, that's a lot of communications gear for just a little money. Someone here is gonna get a great deal. Motorola makes some of the toughest, most reliable electronics gear you can find. I have always been a huge fan of their quality engineering.

Nice. :smiley_drive:

Can't wait!
