    Pop top atv trailer

    You know how nasty ATVs get in terrain you find moose in so make the interior of the trailer of both waterproof materials and easily washable. Having drain plugs in the floor might not be a bad idea either.

    Coleman Gemini PowerPack - Alternative to large propane tanks

    I just use a 5lb tank with a hose to attach it to any devices with 1lb threaded fittings. Easy, way cheaper and refillable anywhere with no waste to throw away.

    Open Carry in Wilderness Areas

    Around town, sure. In the woods with a pack and full size revolver? No way to do that comfortably while having the firearm both concealed and readily accessible.

    Considering a Go-Fast Camper - Interested in real world experiences and reviews.

    There's a few lightweight builds on Tacoma World but the majority of owners seem to be keeping it modular and light in keeping with the design intent of the GFC.

    Tactical Notebook Covers Binders

    The kind of people who pay $100 for this stuff would also probably buy oceanfront property in Colorado.

    9MM Pistol for bear protection?

    If you have any bears of decent size ditch the buckshot and load Brenneke slugs.

    Open Carry in Wilderness Areas

    The Gunfighter Kenai has no buckles that interfere with the backpack straps and more importantly, no buckles or bunched fabric on your back to dig into your back under the pack. Having the gun in a separate holster setup is nice for when you get to camp and drop the pack to still have a way to...

    Open Carry in Wilderness Areas

    I’ve never understood the attraction to a Judge. It’s a terrible revolver and a terrible shotgun, it really does nothing well in an attempt to do everything a little bit. Give a chest holster a try and you’ll love it. Way more comfortable than a thigh holster, easier to draw from in almost every...

    If you make the FWC smell attractive and a bear wants in it won’t stop it.

    Our trip to Deadhorse Alaska

    I was surprised to see you towing that camper up there but even more surprised by the Scamp when it went by.

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    TRED 1100s and Maxtrax. Everytime I've used the TREDs, with one exception I can think of, I've broken one. It's not always a catastrophic failure that makes the recovery impossible though. I've broken six individual boards, two cracked lengthwise end to end, the rest just cracked chunks off...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    In my side by side experience the cheap boards break.

    Open Carry in Wilderness Areas

    Aside from the fact that a license to carry is a joke that should never happen, open carry is far simpler and makes the firearm easier to access. I carry my revolver in a chest holster when outside of town doing stuff.

    In both states open carry is legal. Most national parks and forests allow carry of firearms in any form legal in the state the park/forest is in.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I would propose that’s because this is one of the very few countries in which it would even be legal to do so. It’s also one of the few areas of the world that can be travelled for weeks or months and not cross a border which further complicates legal issues such as firearms.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I tell people the same thing but it’s more like a Ruger LCP.

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    My TREDs got the vehicles out every time they were used but they also broke every time they were used. They were replaced under warranty each time but if you’re traveling or need them more than once you might be screwed. The maxtrax I bought to replace them haven’t broken in the same conditions.

    Awning tent

    I’ve used mine in the rain and it stays dry inside, just lower one pole so the roof is angled and the rain runs off. Mine stayed dry during four days of solid drizzle and rain. My version of the ARB room is the 2500x2100 has the built in floor unlike the pictures posted above. Three people on...

    An All-Aluminum 1.9L NA VW Diesel?

    What engines are you referring to? Most of my NA gas engines have been between 9.5:1 and 10.5:1 compression ratio. Turbo gas engines 8.5-9.7:1, the only DI turbo engine I owned was 11.7:1. The two turbo diesels I’ve owned were 16.5:1 and 18.5:1.
