I didnt like the highway maps on magellan as well, and I wasnt as impressed with the repair service. I went thru 2 magellans in 4 years and when they quit, they just no longer received any signal. If you called San Dimas they just siad we dont repair them, just send it in and we will credit you...

Six of one, half dozen of the other. Doesnt really matter as they all will do the same. Check in to your software expense and user friendly it is. The only benifit I have found with the compass is sitting still, the second you start moving it tells you anyway, and the altimeter is more...

The Brunton that you can run without the mantle doesnt make much more light than a candle lantern with the mantle off, dont know about the one with the reflector (liberty). No doubt the Petromax is heavier duty, but I got to say, the Coleman northstar I just bought has been the easiest to...

Mmmmm, tecate. The perfect brew for that kind of meal. I like porters and brown ales a little warmer, but Tecate, give me that baby at 28º and life is good.

Sounds pretty good, I usually do it up simple. Cut to finger size pieces where it will fry fast, dip in egg and roll in Masa harina mixed with a hefty dose of red pepper, black pepper and a touch of corn meal, on the other burner boil up in crab boil, new potatos, corn on the cob and sliced...

Dobletraccion, I understand where your coming from. Usually I get it with the guy in the next area and loud stereos. Your kinda screwed in Texas, too many people in the parks and no real off road driving territory to get away from the crowds. I used to head for Lake City or Ouray on every...

Never worried too much about coyotes, anything else for that matter. Just harder to fillet 15 ot 20 sandbass under headlights. Its not done for romantic alure, its done for utility. From setting up camp at 10:00 pm on Lake San Cristobal after driving 20 hours or being party to changing a chevy...

Thanks Pard, guess I was lucky. I dropped by the local Gander Mountain on the way to the nursing home to visit my Dad and picked up a Coleman Northstar dual fuel. $63.00, brought it home, put it together and fueled it up, runs great. Glad I didnt spend $140 now. Thanks again Perterra

I convertred my coleman whitegas stove to propane when I started using the propane lanterns. Simple to convert it back. Just slide the tank & generator back in and your good to go. Fried a lot of fish and taters on that thing. Its the one my Dad used back in the early 60's. Still works great...

Heck, I've never even seen the petromax (britelyte) in person. I use head lights, but they sure limit some of your activities. Hard to put together a group fish fry with everybody wearin headlights. And its nowhere near as much fun to play a couple of card games around a single led bulb...

Does anybody else carry lanterns. I'm starting to think I must be the last of the lantern users. For the most part I use propane now days, but I'm starting to think about a kerosene or multi fuel lantern again. I have a couple of old liquid fuel Colemans (3 actually) a single mantle and a...

At one time a guy at AT&T told me Nokia was going to going to bring into production digital bag phones with 3 watts. If I could wait about 3 months it would be on the market. I waited 3 months, called and nobody had any idea of what I was talking about. Of course it could also be because it went...

Be sure and look at a Gander Mtn, Cabelas or Bass Pro first. I know a guy who rigged two of the fuel tanks on his dirt bike rack. The mounting system for the small tanks connects the tank from the center of the tank with a wing nut. That way you can stand them up or ay them down and not have to...

Probably a roof rack would be the simplest. Plus be a good place to carry extra stuff. I know on my Xterra the rack right over the cab gets the duffel that contains the tent and two sleeping bags with the cook stove packed behind it.

Ahhh, sorry. I thought time was the issue. Thats the way to do it. Skid plate built in?

As far as I know there are no other choices. Its not going to be safe mounted anywhere other than inside the frame rails, and even then your looking at a possible puncture. If you get rear ended hard enough any large amount of fuel aft of the rear axle is going to be a problem. Just got to...

Yep, pretty pricey, but I know a gent who picked some up at Cabelas for about half that price. They do mount flat though. When you consider the price most people put in accs, it doesnt seem that high.:)

Any one try these. Sure looks like you could stack them flat on a roof rack and use the mounting system. http://secure.mycart.net/catalogs/index.asp?category=296660&count=1

These guys make them. http://www.can-spec.com/canspec/products/products.php?ID=14 There used to be a recreational mining/expidition supply in Vegas that carried them, but I havent seen the link since my old PC crashed. They werent very expensive, anybody puts a group buy together count me in.
