    Cuba- Portrait of A People

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_embargo_against_Cuba Because they're a communist socialist government, and therefore not worthy of our commercial spending. After all, if you stayed in a Hilton there, then that tax revenue would go towards buying health care for millions of their...

    "Safety" Thimble...yea right

    Awww, dang! I didn't even notice your business. Grrr! Yeah, I wish you were closer and I'd take you up on your offer. In addition, this would make a great Trailside Training event for one of our Central Overland trips. Gonna be down here anytime? I'd love to have you put on a basic class...

    "Safety" Thimble...yea right

    All makes sense, and I intend to keep the current thimble in there when I add the hook. It's just that the hook anchor show above in yellow has a smaller pin which will fit the bent-out-of-shape thimble; the shackle pin really doesn't anymore. And I get what you mean about loosening IOT fit...

    "Safety" Thimble...yea right

    Which mfg did you choose, Rob? I'm ready to make a purchase. I have this currently, which came with my Amsteel Blue: During a particularly hard pull while on the Thanksgiving trip, it stretched out, narrowing it across its length. Now my shackle pin won't fit through it. I have banged it...

    Ozark Mtns, Nov 2010: "100 Meters at a Time"

    Just to clarify about the cutting of trees... This particular trail was the tightest I've ever been on to begin with, and demanded that we do some "maintenance pruning" of branches and small saplings along the way to prevent passing vehicles from being damaged and bypasses from being...

    Expedition Portal and The Africa Overland Network present the Overland Live Series.

    Excellent presentation, Christian. Thanks for hosting this. Can't wait for the next in the series! One comment: Is it possible in the future to have guests hold all questions until the end? It seems that Frederik and Josephine were getting a bit bogged down by all the questions. That would...

    Apache National Forest

    Great trip report, and great pics. Thanks for sharing. And I really like your retrospective on the trip; sort of a "lessons learned" corner. (Especially about keeping the wife happy! One to remember for sure! :D) I think I might begin making notes like this about trips I take... in the Army...

    Final Vid From Me Ryan taking a dunking. This will become a significant obstacle during spring high water. Bring a towel! FYI: this gravel bar will be a large group campsite during that trip.

    Ozark Mtns, Nov 2010: "100 Meters at a Time"

    Vids RSB and his killer Taco in shallow water. This crossing will be sketchy--maybe impassable--come April. :snorkel: Leary cruising (or should I say 4Runner-ing) up the ravine that nearing tossed my truck on its passenger side. As far as Saturday went, this could be considered on of...
