Same, essentially. I go back and forth between a boonie hat in Multi-cam and a ballcap in Mossy Oak with a "No Pebble" emblem and a well-worked bill. One thing that's become necessary for all of my warm season hats, whatever I choose, is an ample application of permethrin. These days it's the...

My bold: Nokian Tyres manufactures passenger car tires in its factories in Nokia, Finland and in Dayton, US. All heavy tires are manufactured at the Nokia factory except for tires for trucks and buses, which are designed in Finland and produced by off-take contract manufacturers in the EU. The...

I'm getting eager to put mine back on, may even get them their own set of wheels this year. I'm cool with a fad (Arctic Trucks) when it brings a true winter 35 (315) to market, and with the ungulate killing snow-rain-freeze cycles we have, I was glad to have put the Hakkapeliittas on by...

FWIW, I've lived in Alaska for 26 years and never carried more than one spare or anywhere near the amount of gas that I see strapped to some of the visiting overlanders that pull through here.

And even weirder that they also exist for Crocs.

I was going to add---Ketch is the short haul. The trip up the panhandle will be amazing, though. I personally like Haines better than Skagway. I feel like Haines relies on remaining relevant while Skagway relies on being historic, and I've come to find the whole gold rush, good time girls thing...

You're going to need a very tall snorkel to drive anywhere from Ketchikan.

I always say "Toys were made for tube," but that's the best choice of the box-type bumpers, I think, or the newer WARN Ascent line. I have a diamond plate Fab4 with a prerunner hoop on my '07 the p/o chose, and I am entirely "meh" on it. It's not quite a big-chin Iron Cross but awfully darn...

They were from the days before Toyota abandoned payload. Those little things carried a lot for their size, 1,600 lb at the low end. Still, I found the springs wore out, dunno, by 100k or so. I went through add-a-leafs (for ride and height more than load) then had a set of Alcans made for the...

Word. I'll still run my winters, just because why wouldn't I if I already have studded Hakkas, but we've had our first sessions of black ice, and the Outposts are the least scary AT I've driven on that stuff. They break loose a little here and again but hook right back up. Given, they only...

This coincides with studies I've read: trebles, bait, time out of water are the real killers. One even looked at whether the fish was unhooked with intention or just shaken free of the lure. Spoiler: "shakers" as they were labeled in that study made out worse. Another study looked at the...

This. As often as not, though, it's willful ignorance. Just last week I ran across a fellow along my home creek who asked if I'd seen any trout. I told him no, just a few salmon fifty yards up in the closed area. He went directly back to his car, grabbed his 8 wt, and returned to start casting...

At what's roughly a third or less of the payload, I expect you'll be fine. Bed stiffeners I've seen are essentially oversized L-brackets, so I can see the similarity of benefit to adding a shell or rack with multiple attachment points opposite one another. For comparison, my winter payload is a...

In what regard? I haven't crawled them to attest to stickiness, but I had an easier time than the park ranger negotiating a washout that closed the road I was at the back of---picture a football field of rock and boulder moguls after the creek got done reclaiming it. Otherwise, I've just pinched...

Yeah, I've learned dogs can take a number of otc remedies at half to the same dose as a human depending on their weight. Two took the swelling out of the pup's face within 15 minutes or so. Antiseptics? I'll use the individual alcohol or betadyne wipes from the current under-the-seat kit until...

For driving or walking? Likewise, I've had the wallet-sized ones to book-sized ones, and they end up getting used for all the band-aids and an ibuprofen packet, then kept around until the wipes dry out and the rest of the meds expire. At the moment, I have one of the Kroger brand first aid aisle...

I was curious because we do have to post signs here. It does not appear to be a requirement in Maine. The fifty yard buffer from trails and roads isn't a tremendous distance, either. At the stands I used to frequent, that was about the distance from the truck to either one, and we'd be on high...

I have some studded LT3s for the worst of winter, but shoulder season seems to last longer and longer every year. I'll take notes.

They're a brand new offering, so there's no long term experience out there yet. Following from the other thread on them, a few weeks later, I'm still liking them. They are quiet, for sure, and light for their load capacity. In general, I can't say I've run any other 4-season, 3-peak...
