    Skool me on Skottles

    Skottles are cool and all, but Mexicans been discada cooking down here for 40 years. It aint that new. You can pick up a Eastman Big Kahuna burner and a 24" disc for $175 and be ready to roll, or buy the Skottle for $275. Skottle will run on the little 1# propane jug, but it's pretty limited...

    Common sense, everything else is just fluff

    Wrist watches for the adventure-minded?

    It's a different watch, the 6309 ceased production in the late 80's, the 007 started production in the late 90's. The only thing they share is the niche they filled for Seiko. Both very good dive watches that wont break the bank. The 6309 has been reincarnated as the SRP777

    Walking shoes

    I suspect they are a casual shoe for walking sidewalks. Not all New Balance are that way. I had a pair of 978 New Balance that were a solid shoe. I'm in to Hoka tor summits right now. About the most comfortable I have tried,

    2007 grand Vitara good place to start for smaller rig?

    I had an 07, very capable off road, but also very lacking in ground clearance. Timing chain cover leaks on the V6 can be an issue if the tensioner wear out, only 2 problems I had were headlight bulbs blowing due to crappy connectors and brake noise issue that no one was ever able to solve...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    A bunch of these appear to be NFA guns. That would mean they are quite possibly selective fire.

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    I cant believe all these folks wander off and leave high dollar full auto firearms in their trucks.

    Leaving OZ Tent unattended

    I dont think most would know a $1000 Oztent from a $100 Coleman. Though in areas with a high population of Javelinas leaving it up could lead to a wrecked tent as the snuffle around for food. Big Bend park rangers ask you to just drop the tent on the ground if you are gone for the day and reset...

    Southwest Disk or Tembo Tusk Skottle?

    Bought a 18" Circle J myself. http://circlejfirepits.com/accessories_product_page?value_key=GP18 Works fine, has a ring on the bottom to sit on grates. Skottle didnt interest me.

    First Gen Tacoma Build Advice

    Hell yeah, a winch is a must have. I dont have it so thats why I just sit at home and read the internet explorer forums. (this wasnt meant as smart *** as it sounds LOL) Seriously, if ya got a winch, thats great, but dont sit at home until you have one. Common sense will get you a lot farther...

    Fast setup ground tent?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-0HGGUevQQ I dont think my Coleman Instatent would hold up that well in the wind, but I have sat thru 35 mph winds and it suffered no damage. (I paid $150 for it and a fly)

    Fast setup ground tent?

    You can find one for under $600 with a little looking. I got the cheap Coleman, never had a leak and it has withstood a couple of storms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGW5Gc2lXbI

    Hiking boots with neutral sole or no arch support...

    I think they are over rated, they are built well and will last forever, but for comfort they fall short compared to modern hikers. Bought a pair of Meindl Gomera that are super comfy, but for general purpose hiking and knocking around I have a pair of Hoka Tor Summit mids. I like them enough...
