I only carry one gun when I leave the house. It's the same gun I carry all year. I personally don't believe in a dedicated "truck gun" as that implies leaving a gun in the vehicle. When I go in a store, the gun is with me. Hiking a trail, the gun is with me. Leaving a gun in the vehicle is an...

Shhhhh....we don't think about stuff like that... But, no idea. Hopefully, they are not affected and if they are, it is to my benefit.

A few years ago, after purchasing my 2018 Shara JK Unlimited, I caught myself in a few spots where a winch could have come in handy. In talking to a few friends, it always came up "too bad you can't mount a 8274 to it". Well, ignorance is bliss. I found a rough condition 8274 on craigslist...

I enlisted in the marines as infantry in 95. Got out in 2002. Never heard it call anything other than a poncho liner. Wonder if this is a branch thing?

We always called them poncho liners. Never heard woobie until a few years ago.

Handhelds with the attached antennas are going to pick up a ton of RFI. Getting the antenna outside the vehicle should be your best bet.

Getting harder to find maybe. The last one I bought was almost $50.

I need to bottle that for cologne.

I keep a poncho and poncho liner with me as well. But when it's colder, I usually use a milsurp wool blanket along with my sleeping bag. All laid out on top like a regular bed. Have been into the 20s with it and it's just fine.

Check out Colemas.com (not the stove company). They have them on there quite often. Not sure, but I would bet they offer EU shipping.

Never going to cheat on my girl ALICE!

Absolutely! I just hope the other campers and overlanders don't find out...

A lot of that older stuff is canvas, so it tends to last much longer. I havent worn a pair of cammies/BDUs in almost 20 years, so I don't have extra pockets laying around, haha.

Here are a couple shots of the Wrangler and M416 while I was taking off a load of trash the other day.

Yeah find that these type of stakes work really well. They are aluminum so the don’t rust and are reasonably lightweight. Angle them away from the guided area for best results. https://colemans.com/u-s-g-i-12-aluminum-tent-stakes-12-pack

I grew up an army brat so Army/Navy surplus stores were my Toys-r-us. The cool part was a few bucks would go a long way. I still continue that trend for camping and overland stuff. Having used much of this type of equipment in the Marines, I know how much of a beating it can take. I suppose the...

Excellent information DaveInDenver! US for me = lower 48. Sometime in the future, I would like to add Alaska to that travel map, but it's still a few years off. Good to go on looking though a tube. This is something I have to explain to my friends all the time when it comes to any kind of...

I use a US made military "E-tool" just like I had in the Marines. They are very solid and fold up into a very small package. The shovel head will rotate 90 degrees so you can use it like a Hoe. It also makes a really good seat when, uh..., nature calls...

I'm a sadist when I go out in the woods. As much as I like my good coffee at home, I tend to use the crappiest instant when camping. Make it super strong, no cream, no sugar. Mmmmmm!

Hey all. I'm a SPOT-X user and am very happy with the system as a whole. But I do have a question about SPOT vs inReach: Do any of you have actual experience using both? As happy as I am with the SPOT-X, I am a long LONG time Garmin user and am looking to switch. I personally do not venture out...
