    Hammock inside an ambulance?? Can anyone school a complete hammock noobie

You might be better off with a 4 pt attachment style (each...

    Are there no side by sides discussed here?

    I hate them with a passion.... It seems more and more the damage I see in the desert has the tire imprint of these things.... Totally agree on the hold my beer comment, plus the too fast for safety on tracks & trails, plus the letting the kids fly thing. Now don't get me wrong, I grew up in...

    How would you prep a vehicle for international travel?

    Funny this topic should come up as I have been thinking about a rig to buy & leave in various places while I fly home.
