    Rear power; 2nd battery or long cables?

    It may be fine for your needs but this post isn't about you. Feel free to start one about you if you so desire. I am not sure why you fell the need to be so condescending towards me? You are giving out bad info that could cause somebody a problem. My intention was not to hurt your feelings or...

    Budget Portable Air 2015

    I have had a couple HF ones bought one and the second was a warranty replacement. Neither lasted more than a couple months. I have had 2 MV50s in the last 6 years or so. I the first one stopped working recently after I moved and rewired it. Not sure if that was just coincidence of if I did...

    Gas storage inside vehicle a'la VDEG

    You have to check with you stake. My state has law about fixed tanks but not about temporary storage. The fed only has issue if is for commercial use, as far as DOT and HAZMAT transport anyway.

    Gas storage inside vehicle a'la VDEG

    If you are using the real scepter military cans the will not leak unless they have been damaged or not properly maintained. You can buy new seals for them, they are not that expensive.

    Gas storage inside vehicle a'la VDEG

    After many many many years of carrying fuel with these cans (in the vehicle outside the vehicle, over all sort of terrain, while in the Army and now as a civilian) I am 110% confident that these containers, when properly maintained, will not leak fumes or fuel.

    Rear power; 2nd battery or long cables?

    If you are using a crane/pulley your winch will work easier. As far as relaxing, overloaded electric lines can make a relaxing event turn into something far from relaxing. Not sure what size winch you have but even an ATV winch can draw more than 90 amps: WARN 2.5ci WINCH 12V DC PERFORMANCE...

    Rear power; 2nd battery or long cables?

    A winch will draw more than 200 amps. When you jump a car or truck you are only sending a larger amount of power for a short period of time. When you run a winch you may draw more power and definitely for a longer period of time then when jumping a vehicle. I wouldn't trust any cheap wire to...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    But you have to be much closer to what is attacking you if you use those things for weapons.

    Rear power; 2nd battery or long cables?

    Winches suck allot of juice and you need thick wire/cable. They pull hundreds of amps. When you run the winch you pull allot out of a battery but the battery will pull allot out of the alternator while the winch is running. I would thick having and extra battery closer to the winch would be...

    Ammo boxes at Costco -- 50-cal style, 2-pack, $19.99

    That is a good price. On occasion these cans will turn up at garage sales and they are all over ebay but you won't save much money compared to that price.

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    If one in ever 100 people did have issues with wildlife requiring a gun than I think that would easily justify carrying one. I would bet there are far more than 100 people that venture into the woods everyday. I live at the edge of federal forestry. If I had a 1 in 100 chance of having an issue...

    Expedition trailer or stick to the jeep.

    I am one of those guys. I have a larger offroad trailer and even if I have all the room in the world, but am even slightly off camber, on a slick surface that has a log, rock or other not even huge obstruction you can't back it up. I have talked with others that have smaller pupose built off...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    When comparing crime rate you have to understand the US uses arrests or people charged but not convicted. Most other countries only use convictions. That is why our crime rate appears as high as it does. Not sure how Australia figures crime rate. There is a UN report out that does compare...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping
