I didn't like the implementation job the on the Gaia topo maps. They're vector maps, which saves on data storage space, but too much detail is lost too quickly when you zoom out. The ESRI/USGS topos and the HEMA USA Atlas have implemented zooming better, IMO. I don't think that they're vector...

I downloaded several western states worth of the HEMA USA Atlas onto my smartphone( via my $20/year Gaia subscription). When I visited a remote area near Needles, CA recently, I was pleasantly surprised that HEMA displayed the dirt roads I was travelling on.

+1 for paper towels. Extremely useful, unlike TP.

Could you place standard nylon wire loom over the cable, then add the SS braided stuff outside of that?

Is "Powered By Yamaha" the same as "Yamaha"?

I have always wondered what that road was like. Now, thanks to your video, I have a very good idea.

Every camping trip, I become determined to find flashlights, lanterns, and headlamps that don't have the idiot, annoying blue color to the light. Preferably with a high CRI as well. Those Goal Zero ones look decent, tho I'd still prefer to be able to change batteries and use my own rechargable...

If those reallyuseful boxes are made out of the cheapo polypro that Container Store boxes are, they won't last long in use.

Since March 2020, I've tried to call Zodi---makers of fine hot water/shower relateed products--- in Utah and always goes to voicemail and they never call back. Several times over the spring and summer of 2020 I've tried to make a purchase on the website and it always hangs up and goes dead...

Good idea. An ad hoc private cellular network. Did it say what frequency or coms protocol it uses?

I bought one of these at least ten years ago and, while I don't use it often, I'm always glad I got a nice one.https://www.greenleestore.com/products/greenlee-k05-1gl-k-series-crimping-tool-8-1-0-awg?variant=15441613059

If you carried CARB-compliant nozzles with you to show the officers, then your fuel carrying system would be CARB-compliant, wouldn't it?

White gas stinks as it burns, like Diesel. Propane doesn't have that problem.

Good on you for not tolerating gonked up extension cords. Any way that allows you to store them without tension and be able to be thrown out without tangling is a good way. As a some-time Hollywood gaffer, I can report that a feature film crew deals with everything from thin little charger cords...

Influenced partly by the Expedition Journal cases test a few years ago, here is my hierarchy of container waterproofness: 1. Fully submersible without any water ingress. AKA a Pelican Case---but it's heavy and space-inefficient. Overkill for most applications. 2. No water ingress with a fire...

This has been my observation with the Scepter MFCs. Great ruggedness and product quality, but if you have to store them in a smell-sensitive location, good quality, non-CARB metal (Wavian or =) transmits less odor. My observation.

Those MTM Ammo boxes look nice....and inexpensive.

Human waste is more dangerous to humans (disease-wise) than animal waste....could be why?

For electrical cords, the old way is still the best way. 1/4" sash cord.

Assuming you are familiar with modern (2012+) smartphone displays and operability, the tiny, grainy, low resolution screen on the GPSMap 64 will torture you to madness. Save your money.
