Go with a Polyester over nylon in that case. Nylon breaks down with UV light, most high end tents use Poly for the flys these days. Look for awning company in you area.

Try a 10 or 12 oz Vinyl scrim white would be the brightest inside. There are truck tarps made out of the stuff. the open big rigs use a 16oz to 20 oz vinyl. Shelter-rite is a name that comes to mind but I think it is 18 or 20oz. talk to a company that makes truck tarps in your area. I had...

I use dry ice regularly, I dry camp and can put ice in you cocktail for 12 days. It put blocks and proteins in a separate super chest with the dry ice on top wrapped in a unsealed trash bag. All the other food goes in a different chest. I only open the dry ice once a day to pull blocks and...

You haven't been following what is going on in the trucking world, Cummings is working on both a Hydrogen internal combustion motor and Fuel cell trucks, Freight liner is working on a fuel cell trucks. GM is developing both technologies also. Who ever figures the trucking part of EV first will...

I don't have a dog in this and like the ride with the upgrades, has the goose gear also been added in to the price you all are saying doesn't add up. Everything is a trade off.

I do love Baja started going in '62 as a kid. I used to live by the greed "share the stoke not the name." I have given up, I still don't share but no longer try to quiet anybody. I gave up when I was remote and saw a Gaia map and route. Whatever secrets I though there went up in smoke. As a...

I have owned both over the years, it's a chevy vs ford kinda thing. I am running XL racer and XL Pro lights now and have for the last 4 or 5 years. I went with BD because they designed a better collimated reflectors, it basically get more light down range. They have come out with many good...

I had little trucks for years moved to a f150 in the 90's, now I am driving a Ram 2500, thinking the next one will be a one ton. I switched up and have very efficient daily driver and the truck is a driveway queen. Payload and GVW are real.

Another brand is Maluna coolers, they have a unique hinge and closing system. I own a couple and love them. They also a pressure system for Keeping the system air tight. They were only sold direct for years, that recently changed.

I am a fan of purchasing used trucks, I target 3 or 4 year old trucks that have about 12 to15k miles per year. These are usually lease trucks and mostly well maintained. I love my current 2012 purchased in 2016 with 65,000 on it. it now has 130,000 and is running fine. I swapped out the original...

I prefer the Gauze style blood clotting over the powders.

Depends on the wood. I started rounding out 24"plus pine and cider at 13 years for my grandfather, work the edges the the middle. I had access axes, mauls, wood bombs and wedges. Mostly I used the axe. I got in to found wood and continued to split with a axe and a maul for cross grained and...

I have used them in the Deadman in the mud. I like it, as my spare tire lives in the factory holder I would have to jack up the truck to get it out. It would have been messy.

IF I were new and considering water storage I would be consider water bricks.

I know folks with 350/5500 and 3500/5500 campers both slide-in and flatbeds. The heavier campers are preferred by far. the 550/5500s don't worry about payload. you can get a 12ft flatbed too. I know a couple that put a 8' slide in with boxes on the sides and on the back on one side of the door...

I agree, that's why my Ram 2500 is a gaser. They are also lighter and I think it floats better on the fine stuff. The other reason is I don't tow and parts and mechanics in Baja are easier to find.

Interesting, I had not seen these thanks. I will not have one. A couple of thoughts, I don't like metal plates or cups, they carry the food temperature away from the food. The steel cups burn lips, the plates are hot until sucks it from the food. I find in general things that multipurpose don't...

My good friend made drawer for his long-bed truck. Plywood box and drawers he used skateboard bearing on top and bottom of L beams to support the drawers, he has a stop mounted to the bottom of the deck. He also has a hinge across the back of the deck top access the very back. The front of the...

These are the best stoves on the market.

I don't like lights overhead, I prefer driving behind instead of under the lights. My truck has a 2" bar roof rack that hummed at 40 MPH, I wrapped a rope around the bar and it went away. The rap is about a 4" apart, kinda corkscrewed, I put on 3 of the crossmembers. What I think you need to do...
