    Vehicle research - school me on Titans....

    I had a first gen 2004 that I bought brand new in March of 2004. I put 280,000 miles on that truck, and the only issues I ever had were the seat fabric wearing out, and a busted radiator when I rolled over a rocky jeep trail a little too fast. Other than that, it was tires, fluid changes, break...

    Oztents - difference between RV and RX tents?

    So, I am finally looking at putting together my M101a2 as a base camp for hunting trips and family camping trips. I have been waffling between a RTT, just using my giant 10 person turbo tent, or building some sort of enclosure on the camper. I do want to be able to allow the trailer to...

    Ozark Trail "High Performance" cooler - any good?

    I went and looked, the local Wally world here had one of the 73 quart coolers for $194 I was very close to pulling the trigger but didnt.. I have a 35 and 45 quart Yeti presently, and have been wanting a larger cooler that performs well. To be honest, the 35 quart Yeti is sort of useless to...

    I spend alot of time in the high country here in Colorado. Merino wool is my favorite fabric. It has an incredible comfort range for temperature, not only keeping you warm in cool weather but it can feel cool in warm weather. Merino wool has a strange ability to not smell LOL. As a hunter...
