    Post your tents

    Anything that doesn not have to much ventilation and not to large would help. But they are tents. They are not known to old heat. The only thing that could maybe help a little is the heavy canvas tent (prospector type) but heavy, real heavy and ussually preferd for base camp. The real...

    Large capacity water tank ideas

    When you say will help as traction aid in the snow, you are refering to weight I guess, juste one thing, you do not want to let that water freeze, it might really well crack the walls open.

    Winch @ Costco (Canada)

    It falls in the smittybilt, harbor freight and other chinese winch made in the last 5-10 years. Some have great succes, some don't. But with the costco garantie it is hard to beat the price, but component are not as beefe as warn or other higher brand. But you see a lot of them out there.

    Sure-Fire Ways to Improve Your Roof Top Tent

    In my book, do not need to make them very tight, just a little tension that is pretty much non existent when fold, is enough. 4 years with my ARB and no sing of stress in the material.

    Overland on a Budget for the rest of us

    Man, I get the point and agree with it, but don't crash that box truck cause half an hour lather, I pretty sure you will still be receiving stuff in the back of your head. You need to built some kind of wall to protect your self in case of a crash, cause you know, accodent do happen!

    Overland on a Budget for the rest of us

    I do not think that a grizzly will care so much about your beer, maybe care for the beacon, but now that I know that you carry your yeti in a hitch basket, if I see one like that, I will see if it is Luc proof! I do care about beacon and beer! :xxrotflma

    ARB Fridge - What size for wife and I?

    Hight to me is also important. The space saved on top is more space plain and simple. If you carry it half full cause it is to big for your need, then the space is not more usefull since it is inside the fridge and the fridge is more heavy and harder to get acces to the inside. Walls becomes...

    RTT Regrets

    Personaly, I would love the stargazer option, but I do not like dew. So unless you camp where you do not have it (dew) in my book, go for it! But then again, I have the regular style ARB. Still love it and the 4 side windows protected from the rain even while fully open! Great view, njust...
