Maybe a bit too fancy, but I use homebrew kegs for water storage, since I always have a couple awaiting beer. They are recycled beverage containers called cornelius kegs, and were once used for soda, but now are used extensively in homebrewing. They are stainless, and can be pressurized for...

One of the bigger sensor cameras, Panasonic FZ1000, Sony RX100, etc? Need a long zoom, or a viewfinder? And the ones the reviewer is looking at earlier in the thread.

Trimble apps are quite nice. A bit convulted in interface, and I like Gaia better, but their online trip planning thing is superior. Quite decent for a phone-based solution, and they have versions that are especially nice for hunters. I think the cool features still require a subscription. Been...

The question is whether the inside of the SMA female (I think that's the connector) is making a connection, or if there is no, er, penetration. The threads on the outside sound fine, it's the mating of the inside. I've tested the ground on an antenna with a multimeter, but not sure how you'd do...

You don't seem to be taking into account the different TYPES of maps, which makes a huge difference. Raster maps often have nice detail, and there are tons out there, but they take up TONS of space. That's what Gaia GPS uses for instance. Avenza's PDF Maps uses PDFs, which are vector based, and...

Garmin Oregon 600, on sale at REI for $220US. If they have any left. Touchscreen, maps, including customizable ones, microSD slot, weatherproof, AA batteries (can recharge NiMH in unit), etc for anyone else that may be looking.

...as Shane4x4 noted. I've used the CA topo and OSM and they're OK, not great. The Garmin 24k is better in some areas for non vehicular use. And as I noted, not routable. The southern California ones by California Trail Map look really good too, but that's just there...

Yeah, familiar with gpsfiledepot. Using the OSM and CA Topo maps, but not routable. But I can live with that. I'm gonna try the 24k and we'll see. I have tons of maps on Gaia, but it's a different kind of setup. Garmin leans to vector; Gaia/Motion X to raster. No one map, or even map system, is...

Are the Garmin TOPO 24k or 100k maps worth getting? They look kinda old. I don't use automatic routing much, and probably would prefer to download their raster maps. I've been doing that with GaiaGPS and it works fine for me (although Gaia does have a better selection of maps). They are...

To elaborate, you cannot use this radio to transmit on the FRS, MURS or GMRS frequencies. And I believe that's the case even with a GMRS license. It is a Part 90 certified radio, not Part 95. Basically the kind that say a warehouse would buy and get a license for so they could hand them out to...

I think the Anderson power poles are best, but I'm kinda tired of all the adapters I need. And although we hate cig lighter plugs, do take care before replacing them. Sometimes they have stuff inside, often a fuse, and sometimes even voltage or current limiters. And sometimes they aren't...

http://www.rei.com/product/855741/garmin-oregon-600-gps Touchscreen, very viewable in bright light, compass, atmospheric barometer, can connect to heartrate monitor, microSD slot, etc. That's about $100 off. While they last.

I am seeking a GPS unit to use for geotagging photos. But of course it would be nice to use it for more than that (and yes, I have a smartphone that'll do GPS but it isn't working out for me so let's not go offtopic on that issue). At first I thought perhaps I could kill two birds with one...
