It seems to me that regardless of the discipline; be it hunting, shooting, competition or tactical (if that can be counted as a discipline) there are differing levels of engagement that one can have with it. If I understood the points being made it was that you shouldn't automatically assume...

It makes sense to stay on target (pun intended) to the OPs post. The question was whether you feel the need to carry while camping. I assume this means camping in a designated campground, or off in a wilderness area, or in an expedition vehicle occupying either. If we are to assume that by...

Statistics don't lie, but if you don't have a frame of reference they don't tell the story you think they do.

Sigh. If you "totally agree" then you would be interested to find that the chart he provided would indicate the 30-06 would not be a suitable caliber for moose at ANY range. Especially not the unusually large moose that occupy your hunting grounds apparently. Which clearly the 30-06 is a...

In an effort to get back to the op post - "do you feel the need to carry while camping". I will say that due to where I camp, my answer is that I carry. Need is a strong word, in my case "prefer" would be a better fit. Am I worried about lions and tigers and bears? Meh, not really. The...

Sorry, I was referring to body size, not antler size. Asking whether your 30-06 is a good long range cartridge vs what is the effective range of your 30-06 are different questions indeed. I attempted to answer the former, if you are looking for the latter, we would need to know the...

Any discussion about hunting rifles, and especially if you are going to be making longer shots, needs to start with what critters you are after IMO. The right caliber choice for a western US hunter that will be hunting Antelope, Wolves, Bears, Deer and maybe the occasional Elk or Sheep is going...

Pretty much once you shoot a suppressed rifle, it's hard to go back. Shooting around unsuppressed rifles now really isn't very fun. Especially shooting around people with efficient brakes.... I've made it this far with minimal hearing loss, I prefer to keep what I have left. The fact that...

El gigante, I've seen a couple of solutions that involve PVC or plastic conduit that is bent in a gentle angle to accommodate rods that are longer than the pickup bed. I don't know if the constant bend of the rod has any impact to the graphite/fiberglass/etc but its a pretty cool way to store...

I like the way the dinette table folds out. That's an interesting design feature that seems space saving. Might be useful to the DIYer looking for ideas.

Good god almighty cheese and crackers.

Thanks for sharing, its always nice to see the thought progression of how people make decisions on their vehicles. It's hard to tell from their blog how experienced they are or if they have had other rigs that shaped their choices. EDIT: Dub, congrats on a great vehicle. Looks great and I...

So since it already has a box on it, are you saying you're just going to do a build- out of the existing box on it with the layout you have? Those rigs normally don't have a pass thru do they? If so you might want to consider more/bigger windows to compensate. Looks cool though.

The grand migration to the expo has begun.....

That's encouraging. Thanks.

Daurie, Thanks for chiming in and congrats on the new rig. Sounds like you have a good frame a reference for both vehicles. My "ask" was more about a comparison the actual size of the cab/cabin of the two vehicles. The ergonomics of the FUSO don't work for me as I'm too tall and I'm...

Good grief.

Yeah, I can fully understand your thought process as you've described it since we are truly heading down the same path. Although we don't have plans at the moment to full-time as we aren't yet ready for retirement, we want something that allows for it but (ideally) without completely losing the...

Good point Loon. In the case of the Mog (and several other rigs like BAE come to mind) they clearly have the grunt albeit at mindbendingly slow uphill speeds. Even with the high-speed option we found the MOG lacking when driving some friends' rigs. But, this process is all about compromise...

Jostalli, While I don't have an issue per se with used, at least in our case, there are 2 key use case requirements that need to be met. The first requirement (and probably most difficult to achieve w a used rig) is that I am extremely tall. So most rigs, unless purpose built, don't fit me...
