My father in laws propane grill registers 880 degree F. I was heating it up for steaks and when I went out to throw them on , the gauge read 750. The steaks had some nice grill marks when I flipped them. Not a grill , but an oven- in machining school we have a heat treatment furnace. It's...

I chose firearm, chair's/table and gas can. Of the items listed, these would be my preference. The firearm, mainly because there are a host of small edible critters around, and should I run out of food, I've got a step up over the caveman, not to mention a means of protection. I considered...

Thanks guy! This just reconfirms what I've been thinking and goes well with my search for a bike. I'm selling a truck to fund it this weekend and then I'm on the prowl.

In comparing to very similar bikes, the KLR650 and DR650, while I hear the DR is a bit better off road and the KLR a bit better on road, much of the rest seems a toss up. Both have similar levels of aftermarket support and simplicity in the engine. The main difference I see is the air cooled DR...

4.88's are basically a match to the original gearing of 4.10 with 28-29" tires. It should give you 5th back, but I wonder how much weight you're carrying. (ever go to a landfill with the vehicle scale to see how much? Some options would be to reduce your carrying weight. One way is to reduce the...

A couple ideas along the lines of the Mystery Ranch are the Eagle AIII Molle and the ATS RAID pack. I have the AIII and it is tough as nails. It comes with a waist belt. I'm 6'3", 215 and after hiking with it 5-6 miles either in heavy clothing at 10 degree or with a t-shirt at 90 degrees, it's...

My passengers side is always tough to get to release. I'll take a look tonight and see why, but if I were to guess, I'd guess the latch on the bottom is bent enough to prevent thepull from releasing easily. Maybe try putting your knee in the seat while pulling on the handle and see if that...

Ara- I've enjoyed the read and photos, quite an emotional voyage you're on. Your tory has a particular fondness to me for a couple reason, not the least of which is Spirit. I had a very similar Pit with honey and black brindle (just a shade lighter than Spirit). She had a touch of white on her...

Whew! Not real funny, but wouldn't have been surprising either. I kept looking and couldn't find a disclaimer. I thought it surprising that it claimed $8M in donations. Some of the sites with kiosks are local to me and I was sure I'd heard nothing about a Skybar on Trey since I know the area...

I did a quick search to see if this was already posted, but came up empty. Anyone hear of this? I hoped it was a joke but can't find anything telling me it is. Maybe we should just pave every road in the country so that it's easy for everyone to use them. Some times it's about the challenge...

Or just buy one. You need it to torque the bolts on the hubs, the pinion nut, the spindle nuts, etc. It's not like you only need it for the diff. It gets used several times on the front end alone. Even the cheap bar type shown works and cost maybe $40. I started with one of those, then went to...

One thing the magnesium bars are good for is throwing in the hot coals after you have a fire lit. Burning at 3-4000 degrees, they seem to melt the rocks and make ablinding white purple flame. Not worth $5, but neat all the same.

I've use the light my fire firesteel for over a year now. It's easy enough my 10 year old can light a fire 95% of the time with one strike. I use dryer lint for tinder (spark catcher). I make a pile of tinder and kindling and have a few thin pieces ready, get out a piece of dryer lint from a...
