I just bought my first Blackberry 8330 today. I bought it intending to keep all of my emergency medical information in and also to use as an internet connection while away from home. I am a total newb to anything like this so I need to be schooled. 1st off, are there any good mapping and GPS...

I have no affiliation with Remote Medical but I thought that this little device was very cool. It is an ECG that is compatible with personal computers. Some folks on here might be interested if they are involved in extensive medical support in limited settings. It is a little too pricey for me...

I know this topic has been discussed extensively but I had a thought the other day that I havnt seen addressed. One day I would love to have a 4 door hilux. I cant see paying the ridiculous amount of money it would cost to import one though. Could it be done by opening a PO box in a country like...

Does anyone have any military experience with the ALSV dune buggys? I dont know much about them but from what I can tell they are 4x4s with a rear engine and IFS. Anyone know how this setup works? Anyone got any technical specs on these things? They look like a tool that would be a pretty...

I am an EMT-B in North Carolina. I was working full time for an Ambulance Service here in NC up until January of '08. I was in a near fatal car accident and I have been out of the EMS loop for the past year. I was recently layed off from my office job and I am going back to work as an EMT. I am...

After a year of absence I am back in the Toyota saddle again! This weekend I sold my XJ to a highschool kid, with visions of mudbogs and ragging out in his eyes, and layed down cash on a 4runner. I felt bad for the Jeep as the kid stomped the pedal and sped off towards his favorite "no...

I posted a while back about a pirogue that I built for very shallow water paddleing. It is a great little boat but now it is time to move up the power spectrum a little bit. I am planning on building a 15' skiff based on a duck hunting platform. It will hopefully have about 5" of draft at 600lb...

The owner of White Owl Surplus www.whiteowl.com here in NC just emailed me this trailer he has for sell. He is asking $750.00 for it. Just thought I would let everyone know, he is no relation to me.

I have been thinking of a trailer build lately. I have a very solid base for a build. It is an older 4'x8' utility trailer. It already has a spring over and the frame is made of 1/4" steel. It is very heavy duty compared to todays utility trailers. I like the space of a pop up rather than a...

I have been thinking long and hard about a new restoration project for myself. My overbearing desire was for some kind of classic dual sport type bike. Then it hit me, why am I not looking for a 2wd sidecar? So does anyone have any ideas on how to score a restoration caliber(cheap) 2wd? Ural...

I am a firefighter/EMT and I have noticed a lot of brothers in the public safety business on this site. There might be a thread about this already, I can't find it. How many do we have on here who are firefighters, paramedics, SAR? Where do you work and how long have you been in the business? It...

I started building a pirogue (pee-row) a couple of weeks ago and I thought I would share my experience with everyone. It is coming together very well. I started with free pirogue plans I downloaded off the interent. They call for 2 sheets of 6mm luon, fiberglass, resin, hardener, putty, and...

I am from the East and havn't spent much time out West. I am thinking of doing a week long trip the first of September but I can't narrow down my options (there are so many!). I am looking for a place with an airport I can fly into, bike in hand, and head out for a multi-day MTB/camping trip to...

I was thinking of doing something different this year, like a Caribou hunt in Quebec or something along those lines. I would even consider going for Muleys or Blacktail. I am not looking for a lodge where I can shell out a ton of cash for a guided hunt, I would rather just purchase licenses...

I am going to paint over my scratched up red paint with a lack luster type paint and I cant decide on what shade to go with. The black bedliner will stay, just the red is getting changed. Its either going to be od green or desert sand, so whats everyone else's opinion?

Everyone, I am looking at purchasing this FJ80 that is here in my city. I have not driven it yet but it looks like it might be a good buy. It does have the locker. I am not new to Toyotas but I am new to Cruisers, what do you guys think about this one...

I grew up riding freestyle and BMX bikes. I have been riding mountain bikes since my teenage years though and have always owned multi speed bikes. I am looking for something different now, and I think I would like to build a single speed to take things back to my younger years. I'm on a tight...

Me and my wife went to Great Smoky Mountains National Park this week and I thought I would share a few pictures. We camped at Cataloochee and explored some of the unpaved roads on the eastern side of the park. At one point we ventured down some old logging trails in Pisgah National Forest...
