    Engel slide lock rattles

    Hi, I've been using an Engel fridge slide lock in the back of my Tacoma for quite some time now. Since new, it's been rattling. When the fridge is loaded, its not that noticeable, but empty it rattles around. I have been considering just simply gluing some additional rubber stoppers at the...

    $149 1080p video camera

    I haven't tried it myself, but the reviews seem decent. Walmart is exclusively selling this little camcorder for $149. I usually do NOT like to buy things like this from Walmart as stop at anything beyond toothbrushes, etc. But for someone wanting to get into doing some video on the cheap...

    New Zodi Tent Heaters - November?

    I heard a rumor that Zodi is going to redesign almost all of their products this year including a new tent heater for November. Anyone hear anything similar? I am starting to keep an eye out for an economical and safe tent heater similar to the Zodi that was discontinued. Pete

    Blaupunkt GPS with video navigation

    When you think of GPS, you never think Blaupunkt. But this is an intriguing step foward in technology. It uses a video camera on the back of the unit to display a live view of the road with navigational elements added in. Video: Blaupunkt Travel Pilot on YouTube From an overland...

    Spotted: Tata Xenon in Calgary!

    I wish I could have snapped an actual pic, but I saw a brand new Tata Xenon today in Calgary.

    Tripod recommendations

    Hi all, I'm looking for some recommendations for a new tripod. Currently I use a very lightweight Silk tripod with a Manfrotto 484RC2 ball head. The ball head is solid, but the overall setup isn't strong enough for the D300. It's more suited to a light DSLR or point/shoot. I may keep that...

    Mountainpete's NW USA tour

    Hi guys and gals! My wife and I are on a two week jaunt through the NW USA. It's new territory for us, so while it's not as adventurous as many journeys on ExPo, I thought I would post up my journal as I get Wi-Fi coverage – so there will be gaps between posts. I'll also try to get a few pics...

    Donahoe coilover internals (pics)

    Hi guys, I had one of my coilovers rebuilt by Kevin at HRT Offroad who is the Canadian ICON/Donahoe distributor. I must say that if you are in Canada and are considering purchasing a suspension system you should call Kevin. Excellent service and simply a nice guy. Kevin was kind enough to...

    Honey: sweet but not so basic

    Hi, Yes, this is a topic about honey. That lowly product that comes from that certain bee orifice which is usually only seen as a spat on the windscreen. Strangely, I've taken an interest in honey this past few months. No, I don't want to be a bee keeper or cover my house in yellow and...
