When I called our local conservations he said we can kill wildlife if it is threatening, damaging property or harming live stock and even pets. When you read the law their a few provisions that must be followed if it is just destroying property. Don't trust what others say, read the law for...

And then throw it up on top and strap it down in your rack so you have more room in the Jeep. Not only are you over weight you are dangerously top heavy.

A new word. Goo / gleirs / fac / ebo / ok / fbiap / ple I always tell somebody were I go anyway. I would just like good internet if possible. There are always caves, you could go underground or just turn your phone off. As far as the Jonses "next store", they are the Cross' and they moved...

That would be great.

Most installers out my way are independent contractors whether it is Lowes and carpet, satellite (TV and internet) even our mail delivery is handled by a contractor and almost every one of them sucks and sucks hard. Our fire department is volunteer and for a while we didn't even have a fire...

I have a Walmart smart phone and a 5 year old tablet. Internet sucks my way so no point in upgrading anything that is internet based. Rand McNally makes a topos (in book form) that work fine. https://store.randmcnally.com/atlases.html I know the apps are great, and I like the apps I have...

A cot, an inflatable pad? You are still packing heavy. I use a yoga mat on the ground, I do like having a real pillow though. When I go comfy camping I take everything I can fit on my trailer (even AC and a generator) but on the trials I stay as simple as I can. I hate setting up and breaking...

Internet for some people is getting worse and worse. I live rural. My speed went from about 1.5 mbps to about .5mbps. I have Century Link. When I called an complained they said it will not get any better, it is beyond capacity and they won't do anything about it. The best they would do it...

I still like paper maps and a compass. I do have a GPS and an app on my phone. In my area HERE seems to have all the forestry trails. HERE is like old school Tom Tom and you can't down load maps. I can it the home button and it will route be back to my house. On the paper map I just use a...

If these are the oned that look like the BFG ATs I remember a few years ago there was discussion about these on another off road board. The discussion can basically be summed up in a few words, they don't perform like the BFG ATs. Most were very unhappy with them. This was years ago and...

I made my own, not pretty but strong, sharp and easy to clean. I will get better but this one is functional.

Weight over the cable will mitigate the stored energy issue. You do have to pay attention when spoiling wire cable. You should wear gloves to protect your hands. Friction and heat are more of an issue with rope. Dragging a rope over a rock or other solid item will damage rope more so than...

So the answer to the OPs question is if you get quality items and take care of them as needed they will serve you well. Some items will have a longer life span, some are easier to work with, some take more maintainace. Just like about every other decision in life you will have to look at the...

I have done nothing other than painting the center just for the hell of it. I sent the one side of to Warn to fix the lock and free spool lever and the gear set on that side. I had no receipt, they asked no question and they fixed it for free. I paid for the shipping there they paid for...

18 year old cable. I showed you mine now you show me yours. No rust Four year old strap

It is whatever cable comes on a Warn HS9500i, It is worth a billion but I will sell it to you or 10K. I can pull it out and it just lays there. I will take some pics when I get home.

No rust, no frays, wear gloves. Tetanus is not a concern. My cable doesn't snarl or loop and it has no rust. I have a fast winch and no-tension situations aren't that big of an issue. I keep weight on the cable incase of failure. I have shackles but I don't use them attached to the line or...

I don't maintain my strap, they're cheap, I break it, I toss it and get a new one. For the same reason you use a rope on your winch. It is light and easy to deal with. The cable on my winch already has a home, it isn't taking up space. The strap does take up space. The strap is much easier...

When I look at the condition my recovery straps are in after a few years and what condition my cable is in after about 18 years the decision is easy for me. I guess I am lazy and cheap.

EXACTLY, I am not saying they will fail, I am saying I will fail to maintain them properly. If I were using rope in the mud I would wash it every time it got dirty in order to help maintain its integrity, except I wouldn't. Everything is a compromise. I am not saying not to use rope. I...
