I have had a MGB, MG Midget, Datsun 240Z and a 280Zx, Porsche 944 and a Fiat 124 Spyder. The one I had the most trouble with was the Fiat, bought it new, broke down constantly, absolute junk, when it was just a couple weeks old I went to roll the window down and the handle fell off! Seriously...

This is the one we use

I have a Danby in my van, it is energy star rated , I mounted a very small computer whisper fan in the back to circulate the cold air around the cooling plate to give a more uniform temp. A temp sensor and external display to “tune the temp “ in. Also a larger whisper fan in the back facing the...

Eham.net has good practice exams, I just stuck with it and took them over and over, when I went in and took the exam I blew right through it. I agree again with DL, the Kenwood TM 281 is a great radio, One in my truck and one set up for portable use when we go to Co. to put in the rental Jeep.

I agree w/ Dreadlocks 2M is the way to go.

Looking at the specs. Its a polycrystalline, a monocrystallines are more efficient. Seems over priced, you can buy a mono 175w around 9A on Ebay for $199. Not familiar with the controller, the one HD reviews wasnt impressed, I have had good results with morningstar. Batteries got good reviews...

Want internet access for your laptop or ipad while overlanding? Verizon has a product called a jetpack. Its about the size of a cigarette pack, run 8hrs on battery or you can plug it in using the USB adaptor/charger and can share up to 15 devices. It goes for around $200. The unlimited data...

They are distributed by Craghoppers in England and manufactured in China. I pulled the trigger on the Wind/Hiking Jacket after a lot of hesitation. I was pleasantly suprised with the quality. One of the features I liked was the textured shoulders so your backpack straps dont slide around like on...

They are Craghoppers of England, but manufactured in China, discontinued. Some on Ebay but the quality and stitching look really bad. I have had good luck with 5.11 pants and shorts and also Northface.

You could upgrade your solar controller. Some models have a display for all the functions. Amp/volts. When the batt. is at 10.5 V it its exhausted.

Thanks for the info. The right tool for the right job says it all.

How do you clean your Sawyer filter? I am using the plunger that comes with the inline filter we have on our hydration packs after our camping trips back flushing them with filtered water from our fridge. I read an article that said the small amount of water left in the filter after back...

Thanks for the response, great article. I am leaning towards serrated, being around a water environment and a lot of our adventures are by boat or kayak, cutting line from a fouled prop for example. In your trips to the Glades, did you do the Wilderness Waterway? A great book about the Glades in...

Considering purchasing an ESEE3 what are the pros and cons of a plain vs a serrated blade for a survival knife? And the different functions of a survival vs a camping knife.

Make sure you have a good ground on the radio and antenna

Nice Rig!

I would go with AGMs , too many possible issues with wet batts as stated in above posts.

It sounds like a similar problem I had and it turned out to be the tranmission mount. Test it the same way Lev suggested in above post.

There are a lot of great quality boots on the market. I feel the most important thing is how they fit YOUR feet. Everyones feet and applications are different. I read plenty of reviews but shopped locally so I could test them. Weight was a big factor for me. Some weighed 3X more than the other...
