Or a taxi or bus or Uber.

I don't disagree at all. For my Dollar I'd buy a 1/2 ton over a midsize today. Actually, to be completely honest, for my money I'd almost certainly actually buy a basic 3/4 ton instead. The jump from a consumer spec F150 to a contractor spec gas F250 isn't much in price or size. Kind of in...

The rope breaking strength spec is the starting point and that is given by the manufacturer. There aren't many of those. Dyneema fiber is made by DSM and woven into rope by a few companies like Marlow, Sampson, New England, Cortland. So from that perspective the starting point is all common...

LOL. It's a matter of perspective. I went from a '91 XtraCab 22R-E to my '08 Tacoma V6 and to me it's quiet. I know if I was to drive a newer truck I'd be spoiled. So I don't. But I could barely hear the radio in my old truck on the highway and it wasn't because I was going all that fast...

What kind of splice? Yeah, a lock stitch is mandatory with a bury since it will creep. Brummels are popular because they are self locking without the need for a lock stitch. Although a Brummel has less retained strength than a simple bury so it's a trade off.

Vehicle winches are rated per SAE J706. I don't have access to that standard but I assume it refers to the winch lines or is at least implicit in that the line has to work without breaking under the conditions the winch is used. Shackles and slings are often rated using the ASME B30 set of...

This is the list of parts you need in addition to the front section you have here (what ARB refers to as the Bull Bar). It looks kind of like you have box 1-of-2 and don't have the second one? There's no way it'll fit a 1st gen, totally different mounting and these are wider.

I think you're not alone in that. It's a matter of Leave No Trace in some cases. Even if you could rationalize taking a leak in-situ on a multi-day climb it's the fact that letting 'er fly almost always results in someone taking a disgusting mist shower is enough to justify it. The last thing...

Yeah, true. Eventually gotta find an alternative to keep up to date.

Gatorade 32 ounce bottles have been the standard forever. On big walls our go-to was gallon apple juice bottles. Talk about making sure to mark your bottles well.

Didn't seem that hard, took about 15 seconds to type into Google. https://www.amazon.com/KFD-Adapter-Charger-Portable-Explorer/dp/B096VM5QJ5

Not sure if you're aware but the person (known as Lambertus) who ran that website seems to have abandoned it for some unknown reason. The custom map queue is coming up on two years long and no longer working. There's alternatives to get or make Garmin IMG maps from the OSM database. BBBike...

Do you mean OpenStreetMaps? On Android I like OruxMaps since it can use OSM maps in Mapsforge format. https://oruxmaps.com/cs/en/ https://www.openandromaps.org/en It also has a PDF rendering engine and can display georeferenced PDFs (GeoPDF). So you have the option to show USFS MVUMs, BLM...

That depends on what you expect of it. The power and features are sufficient for basic trail use but not if you want a full feature GMRS radio. But you already know all that.

I do agree with you that the 6mm coaxial barrel sounds like either proprietary or at least a very odd standard. Normally barrel OD are 5.5mm or 6.3mm. However you ave to look at datasheets for a 6mm OD panel jacks. You can't have an plug with an actual OD of 6mm fit into a jack of the same...

I've said for a long time I'd be first in line for a TM-D710 that could do DMR.

Just to clarify, AirTags work as long there's any enabled iPhone around and do not have to be near yours necessarily. The way these devices (not just Apple, but stuff from Ring, Samsung, Google, etc.) work to form a global mesh is a serious privacy issue...

I've read the same thing is occurring with clothing sizes. I'm about 10 lbs heavier than my high school graduation weight and have gone from XL (I have long arms) to L to now almost always medium as first pick. But we guys are lucky that we can buy by the number. A 32x34 trouser in 1989 is...

Perhaps, although the majority are non-violent drug users that can't bail out or hit the ladder-climbing D.A. jackpot of 3rd strike or plea deal. Violent crime has gone down, which I'm sure is simply coincident with the rising adoption of CCW in almost every state.

Ha, they'll succeed in removing all the invasive tamarisk from the river banks and the levels still won't come back, eh?
