Believe it or not, but I use heavy duty freezer bags for my topo maps for search and rescue land nav training and actual missions. They work well and take a beating in the woods and stuff easily into my vest of pocket. I've found these bags fold up easier and are less bulky.

All these numbers make my head hurt too. With my homemade 10lbs Co2 system I get about 24 tire refills, mostly mine (285/75/16), from 18 back to 32 psi before exchanging it for a new tank.

Nice shots, I think I'm starting to hear Gordon Lightfoot signing.

If you're curious, here's my Winter SAR Checklist. My Spring/Summer/Fall list is the same with the exception of a modified clothing checklist.

Flying with my brother-in-law and a buddy in their T-28s.

Me on a land nav course, no GPS - just a compass and a b/w 1:24,000 topo map, praticing before my solo test. Another shot from a weekend offroad run into West Virginia.

Did you get the Taco air intake tube/sleeve to connect the snorkel?

I've got a Blue Top D34M in the 4Runner, no complaints.

Used Toughbook CF-28s and CF-72s seem to be plentiful on eBay. Taking my time trying to find one with the specs and acc I need and watching to see how much they're selling for. There was a nice write up not too long ago either here on EP or on MUD regarding someone who scored a CF-28 off eBay...

Thanks for the responses. I'm still trying to decide whether to go with a tablet or a used Toughbook off eBay. I'll have to be a bit more creative in regards to mounting the Toughbook then with a smaller and lighter tablet.

The NG customer service hasn't reply to my email inquiries yet and I'm hoping someone here can answer my question. Do you know if it's possible to completely install the NG Topo software onto a tablet hard drive and run the mapping program from the HD without the need of an external DVD/CD...

I've seen these on Discovery or something similar: Security Laminates and Films http://www.smashandgrab.com/diy/diy.htm http://www.shattergard.com/home.html

I'd like to start making homemade jerky and dried fruits (love mangos, watermelon and etc.) but couldn't decide what to get for home use. Any suggestions would be appreciated. http://www.everythingkitchens.com/fooddehydrators.html

No, but I've got a rather unusual alternative . . . Prior to a particular dusty ride I, with my wife's permission, cut the foot portions off a pair of her black stockings. I put both over my snorkel intake and then used some black electrical tape around the bottom. It worked surprisingly...

Yes and No. Yes, it does a nice job eliminating vibration and I have no problem viewing the display while offroad. No, the Garmin is about an inch above the dash.

I've got a RAM windshield mount for my Garmin StreetPilot III and it's held quite securely. Even during offroad rescues it hasn't fallen off yet.

Is this something that your personnel won't have to carry (that is its acting like a supply cache to resupply their own packs) or will they be expected to carry these supplies while covering the wildland fires? If possible, keep them portable and I'd even suggest you use backpacks. In the...

I'm running an Optima Blue Top D34M for about a year and its worked well in the 4Runner. The D34M is both a starting and deep cycle battery. A nice feature are the extra pair of threaded posts with wing nuts to power accessories.

Would you mind posting a pic or two? Thanks.
