    Foldable/Inflatable Boats?

    How do you like it? I'm really interested in one of the single Kokopelli models. What are the drawbacks of having a small inflatable like that? I primarily want to try rivers and lakes.

    Last resort fire starter?

    I quartered a small road flare. Works great. The only issue is that requires a lot of heat to get started. Whatever the striker patch is on top...I couldn’t get it going with a bic but butane lighter did the trick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    VK56VD vs the "competition"

    Titan Trekker looks neat, but if you have a swing away carrier could just go with more jerry cans? I read something about PhullDs mod, I understand it was also quite expensive.. This might be a stupid question, but why does a V8 on a lighter vehicle get less MPGs than the original truck? On...

    VK56VD vs the "competition"

    Out of curiosity -- are you tsill running the stock fuel tank? And if so what kinda mileage are you getting? It seems VQ40 gets 300 miles to a tank, that's gotta be worse with a vk swap no?

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Didn't realize 2 door JK has such a low payload. Is it because of it's short wheel base? The scout is quite heavy for it's size so I'd err on the side of caution. Looks lik JK has a max tongue weight of 200lb? Scout is quite a bit heavier than that too.

    Last resort fire starter?

    I guess I was thinking more backpacking scenario. I’ve seen fires start with a propane torch that sure works in a pinch. I never used road flares but most seem to be a foot or so long; too long for an emergency pouch. How about this , any experience...

    Last resort fire starter?

    Wondering if anyone’s using road flares for fire starter? Here in the PNW it’s always wet so thinking of adding something that’ll start a fire no matter the conditions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not sure I understand the question. Mount it to the roof and it should be solid enough, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    I was wondering about how annoying it would be to deal with the small pin for max coupler. Considering going to a pintle setup. Much cheaper, but I'm worried about the offroad noise.

    DIY Discada "Skottle" Cooker $65.00

    Howdy everyone. Been using this mod for a year or so now, blowing everyone away with surface area and compactness. The only shortcoming is lack of a windscreen. Has anyone come up with a way to keep some of the heat in and protect from gusts of wind? Looking to add a windscreen. Sent from...
