I've used Kifaru and Hill People Gear. My experience with Kifaru was with their older packs, so I can't really comment on their newer offerings. They are designed specifically for hunting. I currently use HPG packs, and they are the most comfortable packs I've ever owned. They don't offer...

You're kind of late planning an "extreme" hunting trip for the year. For under $5,000, I'd be contacting outfitters for cancelled hunts and looking for leftover tags in states like Colorado that offer them. Wolverines are generally an incidental take on a big game hunt in Alaska or Canada. You...

Your fly should be guyed out so that it is pulled away from the tent. There are places that allow ventilation all around that tent, but won't if the fly is lying flat against the tent itself. You one on each side just above those orange triangles that would be a good start. Any that allow you to...

It is very likely the right vehicle. Probably never the right truck.

Good point, however I don't eat tomatoes unless they are sauce. I'm a meatatarian with the occasional bread thrown in. ;)

A good plain edge is better at everything you use a knife for other than cutting large quantities of rope. Oh, and the aforementioned bread knife.

Back to the original post, it might be worth looking into the guy using a 9mm. He has an awful lot of brown bear experience. The ammo was not Winchester White Box. This strikes me less as a recommendation and more as an extreme example of what is possible.

I loved the AEV 2.5" in my 2014 JKU. It handled weight much better than stock, and improved handling overall both on and off road. However, I think you are in a different weight class with your Ursa Minor.

If you sent an email, that seems to be a waste of time for much of the truck camper manufacturers. I'd try calling, but no guarantees there either.

I'm in Grand Junction and can loan you a good four person tent and a propane stove so you can test the concept without investing too much. As long as you aren't hitting the Jeep trails, your Tahoe will get you many places along the Western Slope, and you'll enjoy the highway miles in between...

Nicely done!

Images look good on my end. You are a brave man, and it looks like it's going to pay off.

Some shampoos are biodegradable. I think Burt's Bees offers some, but I'll bet a quick search online will yield a few as there are definitely soap options.

After years of trailer campers of all sorts, we recently bought our first truck camper. Mine was a total compromise with the wife. She wanted self-contained and actually preferred a hard side. I wanted something that would at least fit in the woods if not on serious trails. Had the luxury of...

Wow! That is some kind of stupid! And there wasn't even much snow behind the car. About five minutes of shoveling and it would have been clear.

Oh, I made much more expensive mistakes with cars when I was his age. He has a long way to go to match me or his older brother. ;)

Sorry, not even an "overland" story. However, my youngest son recently got his driver's license and we picked up a Ford Focus to keep him out of his mom's Hemi equipped Grand Cherokee and my Chevy 2500HD. Last night he was at a friend's not far down the road. When he didn't arrive home in time...

When my 2013 2500HD gets new shoes, it will likely be Cooper ST Maxx. Loved them on my Jeep, think they'll serve the truck well. Curious to hear suspension suggestions myself.

Swell, I ordered the original as it was on sale. Guess we'll see as the top of the dash is probably the best place in my truck.
