The service rep at the dealer kept calling me a guest so I asked what's the deal. Ford has changed. There's no more "Customer Service". It's now "Guest Service". Anyone that owns a EV is an extra special guest or as he joked a HMU (high maintenance unit). I though he was joking but he said...

I've been looking for wool pants and ran across this article. 3000 years ago they made wool pants with different weaving methods for durability and flexibilty. https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/04/the-worlds-oldest-pants-are-a-3000-year-old-engineering-marvel/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

I've been shopping for a Doka (I'm too tall for the a single cab) Unimog and been offered models from 1992 to 2007 (latest year that can be imported into Canada). What is parts availability for Unimogs? If there a premium on one vs. the other?

Back in 2016 I load tested two expensive 6V(red cases) 250Ah AGM batteries at 12A (20 hour rating). The test was run over and and over and over and each time the results were the same. Batteries were charged (using a temp sensor) @ 15.2V (mfg. recommended) bulk and 14.1 float Resting voltage...

Discussion about the F350 F450 and F550 that started in a different thread was moved here.

Going down a tight double track a branch whipped the antenna into the windshield. That's a first.

Buckstop is selling it to go with the single wheel conversions. I'm looking to use it on a F550. Anyone running a it? https://liquidspring.com/how-liquidspring-smart-suspension-works/

In my quest for a sub 300lb primary off road motorcycle I looked at EV and gas. Tried to get a Super Serpa but the price for good 13YO bike is almost the same as a new bike...except for the taxes. The dealer had me try a Zero FX. It had amazing power and torque compared to a Yamaha WR250R but I...

Last week a buddy of mine went camping with us. To get to the campsite we pulled our trailers 25 miles along a rough FSR. His "Mountain Tough" trailer ended up with a few issues so he won't be pulling it that far into the bush anymore. Our trailer (custom air bag suspension) didn't have any...

For 2 1/2" aluminum this seems to be a good deal. Any other ideas? https://www.customsplice.com/products/2-1-2-hitch-receiver-shackle-adapter

As much as I love getting away from it all it is getting harder and harder to do. After shortening then canceling another "out of communication" trip last week I've decided getting away is more important than being out of communication. Our InReach doesn't have enough data and cell...

We were on a FSR in the fall along with allot of logging trucks towing our trailer. As usual there was allot of twists and turns but this time we were pulling off (radio controlled) more for the logging trucks and I was pushing the speed trying to get to the end of the road. After a hard...

I've been thinking of picking up a dirt bike we can use to explore as well as hide/lock in the bush so we have something to shuttle back to the start point after canoeing. We've used a bicycle for a couple of day trips but it is too (dark by the time we were loading the canoes) slow so we want...

My buddy is going camping for 6 days and wanted to try solar so I made this plug&play set up for him. He'll take one of my 330W (70V) panels with it.

Something to keep in mind if you don't drain the water tank out or what I see most often all the water can't drain out of a vehicle. https://nypost.com/2018/12/03/water-on-airplanes-is-basically-e-coli-soup/

Was out hiking some old FSR roads and found some sites that haven't been use in a few years. Looks like all that has gone in there is a snowmobile as there some blowdown and 2-3yo Brich growing on the road. Will have to get a truck an 35' trailer across 2 ditches. Departure angle on the...

Wondering who might be running a hydraulic winch and how the pump is driven. Anyone using a belt drive?
