    Best (Or Most Dependable) All-Terrain Tire?

    I had the AT2 Extreme on my Power Wagon and the ST Maxx on the Jeep ------ the Maxx was quiet until it got down to about 7 or 8 32nds and then got loud. The Toyo was quiet until death did us part.

    LED Campfire?

    Yeah, that's our stomping grounds. The red dot is where they were heading: https://goo.gl/maps/pFoUcFrMqSx The other dot is where I encountered them ---- there used to be a ranger station there, it was demolished and it's a sorta parking area for people that mountain bike. Looks like they...

    Most Durable tent for my money?

    I think that Tractor Supply sells them and they usually will give you a coupon code for getting on their email list. Would likely bring it down under $600.

    LED Campfire?

    Could've been ----- but I guess I live in a bubble. I didn't know that we had those critters around anymore.

    LED Campfire?

    We couldn't go wheeling yesterday because of something worse. Got up to a fork in the trail and there was traffic. Traffic. In the woods. Regular passenger cars, old junkers, loads of them. All over the place. So I backed up, went the other way, and ran into a bunch of FS rangers from all...

    Swapping cig plug for Anderson connectors

    I used to swap from trailer to truck to car to house pretty often depending what we were up to. I don't think that thing was ever off.

    Swapping cig plug for Anderson connectors

    When I rewired my Conqueror I put in a small Blue Sea fuse panel that had both pos and neg fuses. I think I had a 10 amp for my fridge but it might have been 5. I've got Blue Sea in the Jeep now with fuses on both sides again. Another fuse for each leg to my ham radio plus one big honkin fuse...

    Camp shower advice needed

    For the last time, I am not getting in the shower with you. Camo duct tape is called wallpaper around these parts. Matches any decor. Love that stuff.

    Key piece of gear for Bear Country.

    Besides meth cookers, campground bears are the most dangerous things in the woods around here.

    Key piece of gear for Bear Country.

    I answered honestly. "You could survive for 1 MINUTE 5 SECONDS after kicking a bear in the balls."

    Toilet Solution for LONG TERM Overlanding trips

    Lots of the 3rd world areas that I've been in don't have plumbing that can accommodate toilet paper; the common practice is to wipe and put the the tissue in with the regular household trash. I always have to remember to tell friends and family that visit us that we flush it all down in 'Merica...

    YETI HONDO BASE CAMP CHAIR - $300USD

    Slick marketing can sell anything. And an air of exclusivity, superiority. Marketing 101: if it doesn't sell at $40, stick a 3 in front and sell it for $340. One of my favorite mock commercials (not the actual Ren/Stimpy commercial since they've got a copyright thing going on)
