Same boat. I'm an infantry guy in USMC. Ditto on the field part and going outdoors on the weekend. Difference is you can have a fire, beer, be with wife and kids and enjoy nature vice making sure security is set. Like you I think it's also important to teach my kids about the great outdoors...
Interesting stuff. How much do you use to treat the top? I'm about to move from the Mojave desert with no rain to Northern Va with slot more rain.

Put in four new ball joints, Synergy. Took about 12 hours. A few of them took quite a bit of cranking to get out. Well worth it though. I like the way the steering feels a little more "stiff."
