I’m getting so antsy sitting here on a slow morning on the Slope waiting to head back to Anchorage Wednesday and pick it up. Haha 48hrs to pick it up, pack, etc before trying to get out of town after being gone for 4 weeks. Nobody has ever forgotten anything doing that, right? “Oh no. Where’s...

Thanks for sharing your experience @SimplyAnAdventure Airbags do work for many people. I’ve used them before on other vehicles and at this time don’t feel it is the direction I want to go. Camper gets picked up this week and we are heading out on the trial run Friday. I already added a...

Taken last month at an old homestead airstrip just off the Arctic Ocean/Beaufort Sea

I feel you on that. Very much wish I had enough property to manage that as well. I do have several friends that own properties I’ve threatened to land at though. Hope the opportunity comes around for each. But my neighbors wouldn’t be very excited about me doing a slow vertical descent into my...

Not the fluffy friend himself, but this lil guy took off from a spot we were checking out on the North Slope. Beautiful animal. Didn’t see him again, but his tracks were pretty impressive.

For sure. Here’s some logic (and rambling) around PW/Rebel in another thread. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/ram-2500-rebel.235237/page-3#post-3219651 My PW tows just fine in single digit mpg and handles weight behind it great. But yeah, those suspensions were not made to haul...

I’d vote Rebel 2500 gas. The payload is nearly double my power wagon (~1350lbs). If I was in the market for a new truck, that’s where I’d be. But outside that consideration, I’ve really loved our Ram. Just a great pickup and has served us very well, and been put through the paces too. My BIL...

Luckily my wife prioritizes me prioritizing it. “Did you schedule your (insert dr here)?” Annual dr, FAA dr, and dermotologist Twice annual dentist Not saying I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, but at least I’ve got some good eyes on it with me. 😂

$34k to $45k depending on options Here’s the Fishhook page and the pricing sheet

Nope. Stick, with foam insulation.

They did not.

Picking up on the 31st. 🥳

We had an ATO habitat on our rig when our daughter was born. Previous, my wife and I probably did 50/50 on camping and staying for 2-3 days vs traveling every day (which we did a lot more with the xterra and sleeping inside). I loved the room of the habitat and the weight and simplicity of it...

If you ever get the chance to go to the Valdez STOL/Fly-in up here in AK…. It is insane. A really cool event. But yeah, there’s folks that have a two-seat plane on 35s that cost more than many rigs here and can land/take off in the length of an earthroamer. Watching them play out on glacial...

How do you know if a pilot walks into a room? Don’t worry. They’ll tell you. I know I’m not alone on here in working in aviation and/or using aircraft to access other types of outdoor adventures. Any interest in a light sub category or just thread for us that like to play in thinner air?

Might as well have been. No wind and 70F with water and tundra everywhere…. Those little bastards made me want to murder something. But 40F today and might snow tomorrow, so…. Hopefully they all die. 😂

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads…. But the signs? Absolutely.

Speaking of Big Mountains… From my ride to work Wednesday morning

Tell me more about said “hangar”…? I may have missed it, but what else lives in there?

I have done fine so far, but honestly I think my last direct order things were a couple years ago so……..
