    A little guidance please

    So, I am not the poster child for fitness and health but I am still plugging away trying. 62 years old. I am kinda trying to look for a more road oriented bike but here is my dilemma: I absolutely love suspension on my Specialized Status 160. Obviously I don't need that much travel on a...

    Got to unexpectedly test out the lockers today.

    So, NYS Corrections Officers are on protest/strike. I retired 9 years ago but showed up to show my support. Weather was terrible, turned into a drive to turn around and truck went straight into the ditch. Passenger rear tire was in the air. Put it in N & engaged 4Lo and locked it up front and...

    Pendleton Yakima Camp blankets

    I am 61 now, finally picked up a 2nd Pendleton Yakima Camp blanket, both queen size, 90x90. I got a deal on both. 1st one I bought when a store called Galyan's was going out of business in 04'. Picked it up for $129+ tax. Second one was only $40 off but still better than full price. In case...

    Outdoor cutlery

    JICYDK, Cabelas has a new line of fairly priced bushcraft line that consists of a machete, large knife, small knife and a hatchet, all made from 5160 spring steel, which I absolutely love. Fairly priced but once sharpened, holds its edge really well. I picked up the machete. Grind was slightly...

    While on vacation......

    We saw 2 Rivians and a Tesla cyber truck on flatbed. Not sure if they broke down or just ran out of juice ? Not very encouraging either way. We were in Maine. They may work for urbanites but not so much for rural folks.

    1st time making this, turned out fabulous.

    I just made a meal that hit about 9.5 out of 10, & could be easily made at camp. Angle hair pasta. Sauteed onion & garlic. Crispy onion & chili oil - store bought. Your favorite olive/motz/feta mix from the olive bar at supermarket. Francisco Ranaldies sweet basil pasta sauce. All I did...

    Canopy Camper cap/tents

    I would like to start a civil discussion about the Canopy Camper style for midsize trucks. I am trying to educate myself on these. I have no idea what is good or bad. Or even what all is available. But arguing about brand names or personalities is NOT what I want. Not even sure that this is the...

    Is there a RTT that can handle extreme weather ?

    Yes, that is a serious question. I am asking because nobody, including us, wants to spend $1500 - $4000+ on a RTtent and have it leak in a driving rain storm. Or is there no such thing as an extreme weather rtt ? I have experienced extreme weather when tent camping many times. Which is why I...

    New bike

    2023 Specialized Status 160. Absolutely love the suspension. The faster you go, the better it works. Literally light years ahead of my 1994 GT Backwoods hardtail and the 1997 GT LTS 3 that I had. May need to put one of my old comfortable seats on it in the beginning, until I get used to the...

    Truck bed bike setup discussions

    Starting this thread to discuss the plethora of options.....but also new ideas. I started out making my own bed cover out of 2x4's & 3/4" plywood. Painted it red to match the paint on our 2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab. Bought 4 block heads from Grabber and made my own tire trays from pvc pipe, cut...

    McKee Overland bed rack information wanted.

    They are out of Oklahoma city. Is this Company still in business ? It seems they offer what I think is an awesome product, that I have seen nobody else copy, yet. Does anyone have one of their bed racks that can offer their opinion on it ? Thanks in advance for any help. We have a Summit...

    Does anyone know.......

    If anyone is going to make portal axle geared hubs for the new ZR2 ? Werewolf 4x4 makes them in Russia, so they probably won't be able to ship here because of the war in Ukraine but it sure would be nice if someone else made them. I am not sure but I think because the 2023 ZR2 Colorado has...

    My vacuum sealer journey

    Around 1990 I purchased my first vacuum sealer. It was purchased in W big box store mart. It lasted about 2 years & died. Didn't really like it and it wasted a lot of bag. Next I purchased the biggest Professional sealer from Cabelas. It was awesome & lasted up until recently. I guess that's...

    Camp Chef Pro 30

    Anyone pick one of these up yet ? How small does it break down to ? How much adjustability is there in the legs for uneven terrain ? We have the Pro 90 X. Absolutely love it but it is definitely more of a set it up for summer/fall at home kinda stove. Definitely not a take it with you...

    Sausage making discussions

    Exactly as the title implies. In the near future, I am going to be making some Buffalo Chicken sausage and some Maple Breakfast sausage with carmelized onions. I have never made my own sausage before but am so looking forward to it. I have my own grinder and stuffer. I'm going to be using...

    Camp Chef positive plug

    So, we have a Camp Chef Pro90X 3 burner stove. It was bought new, bought the 3 wheel padded rolling case & 3 burner griddle. It's over 5 years old, I no longer had the receipt. It's been stored inside garage, not exposed to UV light, in padded case, only used 4x, by me. I meticulously take care...

    low/er budget camp stove review

    I will start by saying: I really wanted a Partner or Camp Chef Mountaineer. But this was half the price & more importantly, was available right then & there, & so was the case. I recently picked up the Cabela's/Bass Pro 3 burner campstove made by Stansport. I knew I was taking as risk, but...
