    Bug Out Vehicle

    Assuming a 'bug in' plan, and a 'bug out' destination, I'm considering a BOV to get from one to the other several days or weeks after the Fan has stopped spraying. Given that, and in keeping with the OP, I would like to see some discussion on the Multifuel M35. Reason I ask is the episode of...

    BAE SD Brazos Chassis now available through GXV

    The place I spotted them sitting at was Worldwide Machinery. On this page of their website they have a press release for Titan trucks. They're in Channelview, TX, along I-10 East of Houston. Also, here's an article on the trucks by Engineering News - Record.

    BAE SD Brazos Chassis now available through GXV

    I hadn't seen a link to the Operator's Manual yet, so thought I'd post it up... I mentioned before that I saw some sitting at an equipment dealer between Houston and Beaumont. We'll be passing that way again Easter weekend. If anyone is interested, I can try to get the name of the dealership then.

    BAE SD Brazos Chassis now available through GXV

    Last week I saw a few of these sitting in the yard of a heavy equipment dealership along hwy 10 east of Houston. Just about broke my neck looking over my shoulder as I drove by at 75 mph...

    cold/warm sleeping bag ?

    Ditto Honu's matching rectangular bag recommendation. That's we do. We have a 20 deg bag and a 40 deg bag. For warmer weather we lay the 20 deg bag out and zip the 40 deg bag on top. For colder weather we lay the 40 deg bag on bottom and zip the 20 deg bag on top. Voila! Two-person bag with two...

    These binoculars rock! (Leupold Rogue 10X50)

    Well, our wildlife viewing trip got called on account of rain, but I did use these a lot off of a cruise ship last week. I really love them! I also have a great pond and small lake out the windows from where I work. Been doing a lot of turtle counts when the sun comes out...

    These binoculars rock! (Leupold Rogue 10X50)

    Haven, I certainly bow to your superior knowledge. Both above and on the other binocular threads. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I'm still happy with my over-powered, low-end binoculars, though. :D For $160, I think they're hard to beat. Maybe someday... Since I still...

    These binoculars rock! (Leupold Rogue 10X50)

    In all fairness, now that my initial excitement is wearing down, I guess I should mention that the online reviews are right about the soft case and lens covers being junk. But for the price I can live with that. Now, has anybody tried the S4 LockDown Harness? Looks like a cool product, but...

    These binoculars rock! (Leupold Rogue 10X50)

    Hey Corey, Yeah, Amazon is kinda confusing on this. I got black (the camo ones are more expensive), The box shows model #65555. The 'traditional' looking ones, not the compacts: The 8X42s that were sent by mistake are model #65550 Looks like the prices are up a little now... Here's the...

    These binoculars rock! (Leupold Rogue 10X50)

    Hey guys, I'm no binoc expert, but I have been dreaming for years of owning a set of Swarovski's, Leica's, Zeiss, or even Steiners... However, me being a teacher and my wife a nurse, that dream was pretty lofty. Not many 'fun coupons' floating around this house... Well, we have a trip in a...

    Marine Style Hand Pump for Water Container

    You might take a look at This one from the Camper Clinic catalog (sorry, they won't let me copy the pic.). A lot cheaper than marine units, but probably a lot cheaper, too... Camper Clinic has a couple different models to look at, if you are so inclined. If you are looking for a portable...

    My 4x4 Bluebird - [UNNAMED]

    Sorry I'm a little late to the part, but wrt your murphy bed idea, somewhere on this forum there are pictrues of a Unimog camper with a murphy bed that folds up over/behind a permanent rear dinette. Really cool. I couldn't find it in a quick search, but have a link saved at home. I'll try to...

    Car seats, all the same or one better than the others?

    With our two girls we went through a ton o' stuff. We had one Britax, which are supposed to be among the best, but bulky. We've also had several others. We pretty much looked over them closely and decided what looked best to us. IIRC Consumer Reports did a test of car seats a couple of years...

    Photos of Tasmania

    Thanks for sharing all the great pix. We would love to get down that way. Even more so now... Is Tasmania some sort of secret treasure? We shared a dinner table a couple years ago with two couples from Australia. When I told them I would love to visit Australia, and especially Tasmania, they...

    compressor box

    I just glanced over the OJ compressor article (thanks, guys) and it reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask. I've seen a couple of compressors mounted in the bottom of ammo cans. I'm planning on doing something like that, but... Why in the bottom? Wouldn't it make sense to mount the...
