    Thank you for the reply. Your ramp looks commercially made. Who made it?

    Help getting dog to climb into rooftop tent

    Good Point ratled. That combined with the sand/paint should make traction a non issue. Thanks.

    Help getting dog to climb into rooftop tent

    So I made a ramp out of an old extension ladder. Spent an hour last night trying to get the Boxer dog to climb said ramp into the tent. I put pieces of chicken leading up the ramp. He only ate the ones he could reach without having to get on the ramp. He did slip a few inches while on the ramp...

    Advice for soon to be father...

    Best advice I can give. Get that kid mobile as soon as possible. In other words, don't be the parents who keep their fragile new human locked up in a house for the first year of its life. Take it home from the hospital, give it a 2 hour nap at home, then toss it in the car and go somewhere. I am...

    M101 trailer, loading tips/weight distribution

    I have the M101 trailer pictured below. With the cap on it, I can travel with a lot of gear. I don't routinely haul trailers, so I don't know too much about how to distribute the cargo weight. I have been told to prevent a serious fish tail situation, its best not to have too much weight in the...

    Skool me on Skottles

    I am leaning your way. However I do not want to totally dismiss them because some actual user of them may prove me wrong.

    Skool me on Skottles

    I am intrigued by the skottle. I have never seen one in person or cooked on one. Quick question: Other than size/weight savings, what does the skottle give me, that a nice big frying pan and a Coleman stove do not?

    Advice on trailer vs teardrop

    I went with an M101 trailer with a roof top tent. I did it because of cost, storage footprint, and off road worthiness. Since you said it is unlikely you will do any serious off roading, and you have the money for a unit that will work for you, it seems you already answered your own question...

    Three Generations in Death Valley.

    Great write up. I was disappointed when the trip report ended. Great photos too! I was unaware of Star Wars Canyon. Per your suggestion, I googled it and watched some cool videos over lunch today. The pic of you and your son at teakettle junction made me smile. You can tell that the two of you...

    Flatlanders Go West

    Wow man, great write up. Made me feel like I was there with you. A couple things: The selfie of all three if you in the truck.....you may have been nervous on the switchbacks, but you could tell in the photo that the dog had all the confidence in the world you were going to make it through...

    My M101A2 Build Photos

    Nice build. Your top rack is well done. I have an M101 as well. Lucky for me, the previous owner put an A.R.E. pick up truck cap on it. No way do I have the skill set to weld a rack like you have. Looks like you could park your truck on top of the rack if you wanted to. Actually seems strong...
