That is what we do. The bag is super handy for picking up more wood around camp too. It also works great as trash bag receptacle.

Well, I did not end up taking my computer with me out into the field this summer. I did use the Sherpa 50/Nomad 13.5 set up though. It is a very slick. I was easily able to use it to keep my phones charged, eReader, cameras, etc. I am very pleased. I used the battery pack on the plane so I...

Well, I did some solar charging of the Sherpa 50 with the Nomad 13.5m this weekend. <20% on the battery both times. The first test was a very overcast day and after all day it charged the Sherpa to where the 60% icon was flashing. The next day it was sunny and was able to fully charge the...

I will be happy to. I do think I will be able to get 4+ hours of MacBook Air use out of a the Sherpa 50 once I can directly power the laptop without the inverter and tweak some of the energy saving features. My computer usage will be downloading GPS data, pictures and digitizing field notes. I...

Thanks, I just received a Sherpa 50 yesterday. I would appear that my initial test is that it will run my MBA for about 3.5 hours if I am using an inverter and using the internet. When I get it running directly via DC I should get an improvement on that time. I'll do some more runs and see how...

I think I am going to pull the trigger on a Nomad 13.5 and Sherpa 50. I'd love to size it up for peace of mind, but budget is a consideration. ~$340 for the smaller one vs ~$600 for the larger Nomad/Sherpa set up. I'd love to see some more real life reviews, they are few and far between but...

Thanks, I will give this a try. I sure hope it is better than Grass. That GIS alternative sucked 100X ESRI.

I have the driver's side grab bar in my '94 too. The sub-tank switch is a good one. The middle seatbelt for the third row is a lap belt and is integrated into the seats. Maybe your 80's third row seats are from a younger vintage 80?

93-94 has three seatbelts in the third row.

Very timely post. After my family's recent summer road trip, I would love to find a camp chair in this price range that is off the ground and packs up small. The two accordion style chairs just take up too much room. When doing field work I just grab one of my daughter's little chairs...

Wouldn't you know it, Garmin is having server issues and cannot download the MapConverter program.

Well, my dreams of a carputer are pretty on the back burner. I purchased a refurbished Garmin StreetPilot 2610 for navigation. It came with MapSource NT v7. I know that I can unlock these in a PC and then transfer the unlocked maps to a mac and then use the mac to load the GPS unit. My...

X2 on the MacGPSPro. You have to pay for it, but it is really, really good. Not perfect in its collection of features, but I use it for work for in-vehicle navigation.

What a great event. Ran some technical fun trails and did a 150 mile exploration of Long Canyon and a good chunk of the White Rim trail. Had a good talk with Kurt on Wed. Thanks for the help with those fittings. Michael was very stoked to get his rear locker running again. All in all a...

Good luck Cody. Alvin and I had to do similar grinding. I guess we had the 'glass is half full' take on it though. We were actually amazed at how well everything fit together and considered it all just minor fitment issues. I am still amazed at how smart people are who can come up with...

Thanks KC, I love "good karma" stories.

This is why I go to CM. Fun to see and meet other cruiserheads and whatnot. Cruise Moab is not about solitude but about people. There are some great trails too.

I'll be there.

I use them in my work as a geologist. They are great. What latitudes do you plan on using it at? That becomes important as the needle is balanced. Keep in mind, the accuracy will be just the same +/- as much less expensive Silva (or the like) if you are using it without a tripod or on some...

I am waiting for someone to try out Route Buddy. I don't have a need for in-town navigation right now so I haven't pulled the trigger. I'll get around to it in the next 6 months or so.
