James, Whatever you choose, invest some thought and a few bucks in quality leather to carry the gun. There are many options, and you need to think about how and when you will carry. M

You should inspect tem to see that they are clean and functioning well before you shoot them. If they need cleaning, use some spray on gun oil, a rod and barrel brush, and a soft, lightly oiled cloth to go over the outside after you shoot them. You do not need to register guns in California...

I did not advise use of a .22 - but if you have a gun and are willing to use it, this is what makes someone re-think evil intent. It will kill but it is certainly not a stopper. As I said, I carry a 45 ACP. THAT is a pretty good stopper in a small package. I also have a S&W 629 44 mag. I am...

I have done some pac-in hunting in BC. Many provinces in Canada require that non-Canadians employ a licensed outfitter. I would start by checking that.

I have several S&W stainless revolvers. They are flawless, well made, and reliable. That said, I carry a Colt series 80 Officer's Model .45 Auto. It is very small, flat, hold six rounds plus one in the snout if needed. I also like the stainless Smith with shrouded hammer. I do not think that...

I have been using the Camano folding 12V fan in my Maggiolina Extreme. Folds up, draws very little amperage, and cots about $20 at West Marine.

Lance That is a very good deal. I am sorry that you have to sell it, but there is a strong demand out there. Yes, prices have risen. The cost of materials has skyrocketed due to oil prices, and the dollar is at an all-time low against the Euro. We were forced to raise prices or operate at a...

I'll just wander over to Dan's camp with a cuppa in my shaky hand and look kinda' hungry. I might get some chile verde with eggs and a few corn torts. Dan likes to cook! M

I use a similar set up on my trailer - Delta tongue box with dual 105AH batteries, Guest three stage charger/maintainer, water pump, 12V outlet, and a set of nesting tool trays. It is pretty slick. Mike

Sorry for your trouble with the Hannibal after sale service. A product is only as good as it's distributor. I inquired about importing with the Kelty Kettle people in Ireland and never got a satisfactory response. I let it drop, but would be willing to pick up the line if there is some demand...

Graham, I have a set of 1/8" thick clear plastic covers that snap in place over the lights of the 80. I don't always use them, but will if I am traveling in the desert. M

I think this was a 'BASE MODEL' No cladding either. Probably has an old fashioned manual tranny and a pokey diesel engine... M

Dave - I must have spent too much ime in the network/telco industry. I don't exactly understand his application anyway. I have found, though, that cobbling up something myself is not always as satisfactory as buying the right product and getting on with it.

Ron, the details are scattered through about 20 pages of this thread. PITA to try and cut and paste all of the information. M

Both Thule and Yakima offer fairings that might work for your purpose.

Standard twisted pair or shielded twisted pair? Personally, I would go buy a quality product and move on with the project. TP is designed and manufactured to telco and IEE specs for transmission reliabiity and I doubt that something fabbed in a garage workshop will either save money or meet...

the problem is that AC compressors take a lot of amps. In trailers and RVs, they are designed for 120V AC and 2000+ watts and are fairly large. Even AC compressors on motor vehicles take a lot of power. I use a low draw 12V fan, myself. Here is a thread with pictures of an AC unit for a small...

TLC does indeed do good work. After talking with Roseann about her project, I called Jonathan at TLC to discuss diesel options for the 80 series and the abundant benefits of carbon fiber roof top tents. I suggested that the about to be released GM 4.5L common rail turbodiesel (520 lbs. ft. of...

Cool. Does that speedo read 270,000 miles? I was re-reading Roseann's ACF FJ60 article in OJ last night and was impressed with the International 2.8 L turbodiesel that TLC is installing. A big improvement in mileage and a bit more grunt than a 2F. I sold my 60 several years ago, and am idely...
