I used a cheap 1/4" thick 3/4" wide adhesive tape gasket on my m416 lid. It's pealing off and being pushed out constantly. I used to use 3m VHB tape in a former business and remember having to use an adhesive etcher/promoter to bond to unpainted aluminum. Has anyone had any luck with any...

last night I went to grab my NikonD90 off the high shelf on my computer desk and found this. My CSI and interrogation skills quickly broke one of the possible culprits, a 9 year old, who ratted out his 2 yr old brother for having climbed up there and tossed a ton of stuff off. The two year...

These darn trailers seem to be getting rarer than hens teeth but perseverance pays off. I ended up picking up a local M416a1 this last week for a sweet price. Other than a little surface rust and some desperate need for a little PM, she is in great shape. I didn't need any project right now...

So I've upon giving up finding a reasonably priced military trailer and really evaluating the family offroading/camping I will be doing this year with a new baby, I found a deal on an odd little trailer. Its a wagongear AT made by letsgoaero. Their website has them listed for $3k! but I found...

A few years ago I purchased a bunch of powerfilm stuff and have not had time to use it. I have a 15 and two 5 watt solar panels, female cig sockets, solarguard charge controller and a daisy chain for hooking the panels together. I'm prepping for a group trip down into Havasupai and would like...

So I'm taking 25 people down into Havasupai this June and am trying to liven up the menu a little. It's a 13 mile hike in but the Helocopter can take 20 bags of gear for $200 so I may be using that option a little. I have Mountain House dinners available and will bring the standby of Ramen as...

So I'm taking a youth group (25 people) down to Havasupai at the end of June. Yes I know its going to be hot but that's when we could fit it into the majority of the schedules out there. I'm one of those shotgun photographers, take as many pictures as possible and sooner or later something...

So being so new to this photography thing I ordered several large prints, 30x40", a few weeks ago from WHCC.com and failed to think about how I was going to mount these. Do any of you mount your own prints to foam board or something similar? I did a Youtube search, but mostly saw people using...

I've got an Engel 45 that is just under 3 yrs old so its out of warranty. I got back from a week long trip in southern utah and had it on freezer all week without issues. Two days later(it was still in the cruiser with icecream in it) my wife told me that she went to pull it out and the...

I picked up a Lifetime 24"x 42" table a couple weeks ago after the review on Overland Journal. I think I paid $45 at the Lifetime store. Kmart has the exact same table branded as Northwest Territory for $35. The sticker on the inside of the Kmart table says it's made by Lifetime. Just an...

So after my 93 went 280k+ miles before i sold it without any head gasket issues, my 97 developed the early signs of a #6 gasket leak two weeks ago. Basically running like crap for the first few minutes each time I started it. There was no noticeable white smoke or water in the oil.... I...

So my wife told me we needed to put together a photo album with pictures of our adventures over the last few years. She's thinking the Crafty cut paper type album. I'm thinking everything I have is digital so why not just have a book printed and bound. Then I can make one for each of the...

So I took 7 boys up a 6000' elevation gain hike here in Utah (Lone Peak 11275') this week. I always bring instant pudding pre mixed with powdered milk to use as dessert on these outings as you just add water and throw it in the creek for a few minutes. I have been trying to teach these boys...

The Nikon 50mm 1.8 has come highly recommended and I found one used locally but the owner wants to sell the following together. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=10581393&cat=&lpid=4 I bought my D90 used a month ago and it came with a cheaper nikon 18-55mm dx lens. I have read good and...

On the way to a funeral in Farmington NM this last weekend we spent a day in Moab and a few hours in Mesa Verde. I just purchased a 4 month old D90 a day before the trip and did a couple panoramic sets of photos with the hopes of stitching them up. Several people here have mentioned Autostitch...

Ive got a lady looking to sell a 2-3 yr old D-80 body for $300. I am in the market for a DSLR and my sister loves her D80. I figure you can pick up a "kit" lens for $50-75 and be into it for under $400 with a new battery. This would get me started until I could buy some better lenses. The...

I didn't want to post in on Safari's thread on LED lights. Those light strips are a great option. I figured I'd post up a DIY option that looks to use very similar lights and might give people the ability to customize thier own...

I'm in need of some good sushi recipes. Pictures and ingredients would be wounderful. The ones I've been making are getting a little old.

FYI Cheaper than dirt just got a shipment of these Swiss Ranger Aluminum stoves in. I've got one that I picked up a year ago and they work great for boiling a few cups of water with twigs or grass. They were originally designed for a small liquid fuel stove to fit in it's side, but those are...

So I picked up a 45qt Engel with the travel bag at the Outdoor Retailers show. I'm leaving on a trip to run the Zions Narrows, North Rim of GC and then off to Farmington. I leave late tuesday night or the next morning. The problem is the Engel guys didn't bring the 12v DC power cord with them...
