Can you enlighten me with your opinion of the Eureka compact bags? I am not opposed to spending money at Cabelas but want to get a good product for the money.

The other posts have given me some other things to ponder upon, so here goes: It seems that many are building expedition rigs, others are going for the rock crawlers and yet others are doing dual purpose rigs. I say look at your wants vs needs and do what makes sense for you. In my state, I...

The seller of that truck just lowered the price to $11,000. I think it is a nice truck and would go for it, although I would do some more haggling due to the higher miles (which are not a big concern for that drivetrain).

The -30 degree and 10 pounds each seems to be overkill for my part of the country. I Have been out hunting when the temps get down to 0 degrees and have a -15 Sportsman's Guide sleeping bag. I have woken up sweating in this bag, had to turn off the heater and throw back the top cover of the...

Keep searching, like the recent post about a lost city, we can use some intrigue and suspense around here.

I was not able to see the pictures but would like to if they get posted Coincidentally, a friend of mine was an orphan from Gualan. I traveled to the area several years ago hoping to reconnect with him or his family after losing contact. In spite of my long drive, I was not able to meet up...

I have used this same product but the problem is, it seems that I have to do this every year to keep the waterproofing. Subscribed Kevin

A zipline! You Sir, are my hero. I have been thinking about building one of these on my property and just found some new motivation to do so. Thanks, Kevin

I'm not sure but I think I bought a used locker from you a couple of years ago. It has been performing well for me, although I am going to be adding a winch soon due to getting stuck twice due to the locker. As far as your suspension goes, I tweaked my stock suspension to make it work for me...

I had a 1985 Toyota XCab 4x4 that was lifted, stock gearing and had 33x12.50 tires on it. I averaged 25-26mpg on the highway and got 22-23mpg driving from Phoenix, AZ to Guatemala with a 1981 Toyota Longbed 4x4 Hitched BEHIND the truck (Flat towing). It had the power to do it but I had to do...

The rain certainly did not help things out any. I think he would have made it otherwise. Kevin

It is a custom built Unimog motor home. I fully expected it to roll on that obstacle but discretion took the better part of valor (something like that) and the owner nucked tail and went back down the trail the way he had come. Kevin

I got tired of the yearly commute to Colorado 7 years ago and moved 1.5 hours to the North of Ouray and 2:15 North of Silverton. I would be honored to show you around in this area when you return from your deployment. I would not worry about your van as these pictures I took on Poughkeepsie...

Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you for your post. I first hiked up to this spot on a Boy Scout 50 mile hike at the age of 12, nearly 30 years ago:eek: . I was last up there in 1988 and really appreciate seeing your post. I hope to make it up there someday soon with my children. Kevin

5 children, an adventure bound father and mom who prefers to stay home. Present and accounted for! Kevin

My parents bought a 1977 Toyota pick up brand new and had an aluminum camper shell put on the back. We took several trips over the years that followed with my 5 siblings and I stufffed in the back of that truck. I bought my first car, a 1976 Toyota Corolla hatchback, at the age of 17 years...

One downside that I can think of is that with the cots there is more uninsulated space under the bed, thus making for a colder nights sleep when the temperatures dip below freezing With the platform there is the thickness of the wood and the cushioning that allows for increased insulation from...

Unleaded I run regular unleaded in my lantern and stove. I have the older versions too and it works just fine. The only problem I have had is that it does not seem to cook as hot as white gas (Coleman fuel) but that may just be my way of looking at things. If only my vehicle ran as well on...

Sounds like Papusas :drool: I am looking forward to the rest of you photos and want to do this with my family next Summer or the summer after that. Kevin

I get 18 out of my truck on a regular basis and 19 on occasion. I would not be worried about the mileage as these engines have been known to make it to 400,000 miles. Kevin
