Sorry! We're suffering from small (four person) staff syndrome. Still catching up on accounting, equipment replacement, and organizing an intensive 4WD training class for spring. It will be there at some point, but not before Christmas.

There's a fundamental truth about PV panel ratings you must consider: The factory rating is figured under conditions you'll never approach in the real world. Panel perpendicular to the solar source at noon, in ideal temperatures of 45º F or so. And it's probably fudged a bit at that. Even if you...

I surely do: I also own an original Rigby/Mauser .275, which was a gift from a dear gun writer friend. It was given to him by a rich acquaintance, and he knew I'd dreamed of owning one since reading about them as a child in books by Bell, Corbett, and many others. He showed it to me when I...

I don't have access to that piece; however, the ARB kit is a good one and you'd be happy with it. The only one demonstrably better in my experience is the Ultimate Puncture Repair Kit from Extreme Outback. It's probably the last kit you'll ever need, and is suitable for everything from plugging...

Ray, I assume you're talking about the modern Rigby .450, based on a necked-up Rigby .416. I have a .416 Rigby built on a Winchester Model 70 action. It's a superb cartridge despite being a century old; I'm sure the .450 is just as good. The .416 would be just as effective on bear if you needed...

Good question. We're still catching up! It's fixed now.

Yes - May 15 through 17. Hope to see you there . . .

I agree!

You need the XP-10 for diesel engines.

Mike, that basic Puma style is called a Waidmesser, and it's a real prize. You can find more like it here. The older Pumas were superb knives. Sadly, the company moved a lot of production overseas in the 1990s. I finally got the Puma I dreamed of as a kid, the Trapper's Companion:

We plan to have a storefront up on the Overland Expo site in a few weeks. Roseann says anyone who teases her about bringing the wrong box will pay triple.

Regarding the food truck situation: We had a large pizza-making truck on site Thursday morning in addition to the ones already there. Sadly the owner received word that his wife and daughter had been severely injured in a traffic accident, and he of course had to leave. By that time the other...

It's raining off and on today, and everyone is in a great mood. Tomorrow and Sunday are looking clear.

Yes. If by "schedule" you mean a list of classes, you bought an Overland Experience package, is that right? If so you should be all set. You should be fine Bill.

Saturday is a longer day of activities. Trust me that you won't have any trouble filling your time if you come then.

Sadly, we'll have no air bag suppliers at this show, and I know of none near Asheville. Perhaps someone else knows better.

There is a lot of space for camping. If you have a few friends who want to stay together it's best to coordinate communication so you can find the same spot.

The Blue Ridge Parkway would make a stunning bicycling route, as long as you're willing to keep close watch on drivers coming up behind you on those sharp blind curves.

Yes - the website instructions specify that you must print your Paypal receipt and bring it. Should be easy for you to go back in and do. Even a screen capture. Dogs are welcome. However, this is a working farm with stock in nearby fields, so your dog must be on a leash at all times. You...

We're willing to take a look at the situation on the ground when you arrive. If there is room in the first area we're using for trailers and larger vehicles, you might be okay. However, the preservation of the turf on the ranch is definitely our first concern.
