I have a new in the box SPOT Messenger for sale. You will need to pay for activation and so forth, but it's ready to go otherwise. $75 + shipping for ExPo members. Email to: "nathan" at "woodsfamily.cc" I am in Southern California, Orange County area primarly.

I have an Icom 208H mobile 2m/70cm radio. It is mounted towards the rear of my vehicle, and logically enough I want the handset and the remote display in the front. Icom makes an extension cable that retails for $90, but I'm told a simple CAT5 cable will work just fine, and I can get those for...

This looks pretty cool: http://www.photofusiontour.com/

Does this work? Is it relatively safe (around small kids wrestling in a tent like Mexican Jumping Beans in their sleeping bags)? http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=5038A850&categoryid=3000&brand=

Recently, there was a campfire discussion about the use of powered refrigerators in bear country. We don't own an Engle/ARB/National Luna refrigerator, but the ice didn't last long in AZ's 106 degree temps last weekend, so we got to really thinking about it. The problem is, we often camp in...

I have a Baja 540, it frustrates me. I have MapCreate 7, I created a map with corridors in the region I want. It's 79mb in size. I have it loaded to my registered SD card, using my Lowrance card reader. I can browse the file with the card in the Baja 540 unit, but I can't figure out how to...

I'm under considerably financial constraint right now, so was unable to get an AT drawer setup, and Tuffy doesn't make a configuration that meets my needs, so I took out my jig saw and browsed the aisles at Home Depot and McFadden-Dale for a while looking for inspiration. In vague terms, making...

For those of you looking to make ExPo rigs out of their Jeeps, I have a Heavy Duty "JC2" cargo rack for Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ by Hanson Off Road. Mounts to Hanson rear bumper with tire carrier. Package includes large U-shaped platform with aluminum flooring, and two (left & right) heavy duty...

These are really cool. Lightweight, but heavy duty. They are ballistic nylon tool cases used on the flightline to reduce FOD (foreign object damage) to Aircraft. Heavy duty non-sparking brass YKK zippers, clear zippered covers on inner leaves, and reflective tape sewn into the exterior. They...

I have a cheap Radio Shack CB radio that I no longer need. Originally something like $45 from the store. $20 plus shipping and its yours. It is used, but in good shape, just a bit dusty.

Its getting to the point where USA is less and less appealing as a place to live. http://www.mercurynews.com/topstories/ci_12032734

Reprinted from another forum. I played with it, and was able to download and view a pretty detailed map of Anza Borrego in southern California. Here is a link to the USGS site that offers this...

I wish we had this for PC! http://www.macworld.com/article/138694/2009/02/layers.html?lsrc=mwgems

I'm a novice amateur, meaning I'm very new to HAM and don't really know what I'm doing yet. Last weekend on the trail we found an injured motorcycle rider that needed a helicopter evac. The Rider had SPOT, and we had cell phone coverage so we used both and did not need to ping a repeater to...

I enjoyed the privilege of attending the Dirty Toy School with my 4Runner owning friend Chris last weekend. It was held in Borrego Springs, and we visited San Felipe Wash and Coyote Canyon. The training was excellent and covered map & compass reading, basic recovery techniques and equipment...

Shot these yesterday with my iPhone. Pretty grainy, but good exposure values.

One of the best upgrades I did for my LR3 was upgrade the headlamps with H7 HID bulbs. So much better! I'd like to do the same with my Jeep (2005 Rubicon Unlimited). These appear to be sealed beam headlamps, so a simple bulb and ballast swap is not going to do it. Does anyone know of a OEM...

A buddy recently introduced me to a new twist on the medic alert bracelet. This product/service is similar to the online features of SPOT, with email contact lists and so forth. It's ideal for people into individual extreme sports, like white water kayaking, solo trekking, hang gliding...

This is interesting, you can rent a SPOT tracker for individual trips and excursions. http://trackme360.com/

I have a Baja540c that i cannot use because I can't find a stupid proprietary memory card reader for the stupid proprietary mapping software. I have cards that both the GPS and my computer can read, but because there are not serialized by the stupid proprietary memory card reader, the mapping...
