    Landcruiser Water Crossing, A little too deep

    I like how at :22 in the video, another truck is about to go in, sees the cruiser sinking, and decides to retreat.

    Two new Cascadia RTTs: Maggiolina-style with solar panel, and Columbus-style

    Most industries have a gentlemen's agreement not to "infringe" unpatented technology? Really? I've worked in patent law since 1989, and I can't say I've ever seen an industry where that is the case. My experience has been that if something is valuable enough to patent, it's valuable enough...

    Two new Cascadia RTTs: Maggiolina-style with solar panel, and Columbus-style

    Unless AutoHome has valid, issued patents that cover Cascadia's products, or unless Cascadia had access to some Autohome trade secrets which were incorporated into Cascadia's designs, Cascadia wouldn't need AutoHome's permission. A quick search of the Patent and Trademark's database didn't show...

    Fuji X10 Impressions

    I'm really amped over this camera. I'm on the Amazon pre-order list. Should take delivery mid April. (happy birthday to me.) Can't wait to get my hands on it. Haven't been this excited about a piece of camera gear since I got my Nikon 28TI so many years ago.

    Fuji X10 Impressions

    I owned a GRD for a while. I had the film version (GR1) and loved it. However, I was disappointed with the image quality of the GRD and sold it. Much happier with my Panasonic LX5

    Ultimate Expedition Compact Camera Discussion

    I have an Amazon.com pre-order in for the new Olympus OMD micro 4/3 camera. I've been using the Olympus Pen E-P2 for a while now, and really like this system. The new OMD looks to significantly up the game, and is about the same size as the PEN cameras. Can't wait to get it and try it out.

    Small Dutch Oven?

    The post right above yours mentioned this solution. My personal solution was to buy a potjie. I love it. The round bottom works better for my uses than the flat bottom of a traditional American oven.

    New YouTube channel for Autohome tents

    Rule #1 of Marketing: when showing how easy a product is to use, have an attractive female demonstrate, and have the camera focus on her shapely curves every once in a while. (fixed it for you.) I like these videos. I'm clearly the target audience. I like their catalog too. Full of bikini...

    Who else loves all of their Loki stuff?

    I have one of their jackets (Levity Alpinist.) I'm not really a fan. Because of the built in mittens, the sleeves are way too long. This means that I can't work the pit zips very well, as there is too much play in the fabric to get any traction when trying to zip/unzip the pits. The...

    Pinterest and the end of copyright protection

    The internet and digital photography ended copyright protection for digital photography long ago. I don't think that Pinterest has done anything new here. Anyone can capture and use any photo found on the internet without any feasible way for the copyright holder to stop it. If you have a...

    Braille Batteries

    I had one in my sports car. Lighter than the stock battery, but it lasted only 13 months before it stopped working.

    Portable power for ARB Fridge.

    I have the National Luna Power Pack. I can recharge it in my vehicle, or I can use a Brunton Solar panel to keep it going in sunny weather. Has been a good portable option for me.
