    Block heaters? Battery warmers? Oil pan heaters?

    With respect, you do not need a blanket of any sort. The last time I saw a guy use a blanket was in Magadan in Siberia. He forgot he had it on, we jumped in and took off, and maybe 30 kilometers later, it was on fire. Good times. Russian fire drill on the side of the road on a cliff in a...

    Subaru Dual Battery Setups

    You are right, Grant, Mid-Life opted for no back seat in his build. But he does have a battery in the cabin, used in conjunction with a refrigerator. I didn't offer up the reference for an exact solution of battery and fridge placement, but just to show the OP that another Subaru owner has...

    Block heaters? Battery warmers? Oil pan heaters?

    I've always used the manufacturer's circulating/block heater, and the silicone heating pads, one under the battery and one on the oil pan sump. Brown and Sons in Fairbanks used to sell them as a package, along with a three-plug pigtail and a handful of zip ties. If you want a cover for the...

    Wagonofdoom - 2015 Outback build

    Like Herbie said, this is about the build of the Wagon Of Doom, which is pretty interesting build for those who do all kinds of things in our Subarus, which brings me to some questions for Grant: So when you are off the road on rocks and sand (and perhaps even gravel), do you deflate your...

    Camping with Firearm-Post Bear Mauling

    I'm coming late to this party, and it looks like the discussion has pretty much degenerated to the point of, well, to THAT point. But I want to throw a few cents worth in. The article in the October, 2012 Journal of Wildlife Management (Published by the Department of the Interior) titled...

    2015 Subaru Outback - Expedition Retrofit

    Where did you have the water tank made? I'm dithering between your solution for a water supply and freshlikesushi's solution (rear seat footwell). Both the rear "tire" storage and rear seat footwell areas are spaces that are a problem to use efficiently. I like your design and its execution...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    I can handpick photos too. - - But with bears in the photos? I'm not "hand picking," just trying to make a point. Not every wildlife encounter needs a gun. In fact, not every wildlife encounter presents a problem that requires any kind or type of resolution. Don't get me wrong, I like...

    Wagonofdoom - 2015 Outback build

    Wow! This is getting crazier (in the best possible sense) by the day! It seems that your rack must be a custom fabrication, and I hope I can trouble you to post a sketch or photo of the rack design, and also how you attach it to your OEM roof rack. Those Tepui tents are really nice.
