    Air X wind turbine

    I had the same unit on my sailboat, although it was a few years older. They begin working in as little as 5-8 kts of wind, start humming around 12-15 kts and crank out tons of power around 20kts! If you have it up in high winds, 40kts+ it is a good idea to turn on the brake so that it will...

    Do you mean like a Ford Excursion with 8" of lift, 40" Mud Diggers, lots of chrome and one of those flat satellite antennas on top?? :lurk: We know you secretly like the Bling!

    Expedition Trophy 2007

    Mlachica: That table is a bit of a specialty item. They were specially designed to be lightweight compact and shorter, almost like a side table for camp chairs. The legs are aluminum and the top is a heavy nylon. The entire thing folds up to about 4" around by 18 inches long. They were in...

    The S T I N K !!!!!!!

    Something has died in my Engel 45 refrigerator!! I'm serious, this is the absolute worst smell you can imagine. I took my daughter to a trout pond and she caught a fish! So we put it in a ziplock, threw it in the fridge and went home. :chowtime: Took the fish out and turned off the fridge...

    sat phone or not?

    I had an interesting conversation with the guys over at ACR Electronics about thier Personal Locator Beacons. One thought they threw out there is that anyone who is going to carry a PLB should also carry a Sat Phone and USE the Sat Phone FIRST.

    ideas for hiding cash and docs

    How about something that bolts to the engine, a fake engine part. Maybe an oil filter - you can buy a bolt on oil filter mount and then hallow out a filter and stuff it with cash then screw it on the fake mount. Or just about any metal box or tube could be bolted on, no saying what that...

    Pressure cooker

    I cooked with one for a few years, most of the time it was clamped to a gimballed propane two burner stove. They would be great for camping, you just need an hour or so.:chowtime:

    Capstan winches

    Wow! I would have never thought about putting a capstan winch on a vehicle. Nor do I have any desire to actually try and use one on the trail, well maybe once for the experience! How much would it just suck to get a wrap! You would also have to ensure that you could always be standing in...
