    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    I like the idea of that yellow rig above with the mounting channel along the length of the box that the marsden mats are secured to. I can think of a lot of things you could use those mounting strips with - such as securing a table, or a temp shower curtain for outside showers, or a fish/game...

    Open Carry in Wilderness Areas

    The few times I tried to commit to a thigh rig - because I thought it would solve my backpack hip belt problem- I found it really uncomfortable to crawl around or even walk around in. All my big game pants have knee pads in them because I spend half the day sometimes on my knees, and the thigh...

    Opening wall ideas

    Agree. The number of times that we could have a window/door open and NOT need a screen are few and far between. We also noticed the severe lack of windows in a lot of designs and tried to tip the scales in the other direction, by adding a ton of windows, despite the fact that it diminishes the...

    Really?......Bigfoot?

    As someone who is 6 feet 8 inches tall and 260 lbs with a seriously unkempt beard in the winter........this is disconcerting. Tremendously. Montana man told police a hunter ‘mistook him for Bigfoot’ and shot at him, cops say A Montana man was out target shooting when he became a target...

    I find them terribly uncomfortable (in addition to my tongue in cheek comment)

    Agreed. I don’t think that the passage you quoted implied that the kinetic rope would be used in conjunction with the winch - although upon rereading it I can see how one could make that mistake. (Assuming that was what you meant)

    Concealed Carry - What Have You Got?

    I was thinking that when I saw your pic. I'm an ape and my hands BARELY can manage a Glock 43 but in a shoot-thru holster like that, smaller might work

    I know how he feels . What a nightmare

    Good video of the recovery. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the airbag controller array (the blue rack with the switches) before. That’s pretty cool. I’m realizing I’m lucky. One of my best friends owns an extreme heavy tow company that can cover most anywhere west of the misssissippi. It might...

    12v electric blanket any good?

    That’s where the furnace timer comes in. For years we set our espar furnace to come on an hour before we want to get up and it’s wonderful.

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    I suppose this fits within the realm of "recovery gear"...... In researching equipment for our new vehicle I came across these new fangled fire extinguishers. The form factor (and lack of pressurized tank) gives them a major leg up in my book. I already know I'm going to buy a couple for our...

    Expedition truck disabled on the side of the road in Denali NP

    Wow, good to know. Several spare serpentines are officially on the checklist. And I can see this turning into a thread about "what's the best RV tow service that's NOT Coachnet". Nice to hear the inReach worked. We have long been SPOT users but are contemplating switching.

    Good stuff Greg. Thanks for sharing. I will be calling them to get a quote. Did you get a chance to even try to test-fit them yet?

    Good point and words to live by. Thanks for the response. Im trying to gather a frame of reference since we are moving from something in the 12k range to 20k range (lbs).

    That has been my experience with the Forest Districts. With the BLM? Not so much.

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    I was looking at that Masterpull stuff. Looks pretty nice and burly. We ended up corresponding with Chris Cole on the recommendation from another poster and he assembled a custom collection of items to suit our needs. We'll be buying the the whole shebang and maybe even spend some time with...
