    How Soon Before They’ll Be Coming For You? Busting Diesel Deleters Continues…

    Supreme Court "deleting" the Chevron Deference doctorine means any regulations that aren't enumerated by congress, that affect people's lives and are anything beyond simply administrative in nature are null and void. It even calls into question the entire field of administrative law courts. The...

    Wind River Ranging

    Love this thread, thank you so much for sharing. Alas this was the first year in 17 that I wasn't able to get to the Winds. Work pfffff, so it been nice following along. Been knocking off drainages and trailheads since my first trip there when I was eleven, trusty Nancy Pallister (NOLS) beta in...

    FASS / Air Dog Fuel System with Fuel Bowl Delete - 7.3L Super Duty (1999-2003)

    I've looked at them. I've got a 2001 7.3 F450. Primary advantage is getting rid of the fuel bowl itself which has way too many bobs and bits that can leak. I'll probably do it next year. I've replaced the fuel bowls in my 7.3s a few times over the years. I carry an extra drain petcock and...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    Interesting convo about nuclear, which is without question the most safe form base load electrical generation on the planet, even including Fukushima (whose release actual impact on sea life was negligible and barely above background levels) and Chernobyl, which were designs from the late 1940s...

    Looking at a high mileage Isuzu VehiCROSS

    I've been sorta looking at these. Seems like I haven't seen a single one without an oil burning issue. Sellers usually say "typical". I know nothing so YMMV

    Wind River Ranging

    Great shots! Shadow L Texas Pass is the best approach into the Crique IMHO. Also ************** pass is my least favorite pass in the range. Something about it drains my soul! Edit: Expo doesn't like swearwords! Even if they deserve their real name.

    Thanks for the deets Cappyjax. Bookmarked for future use. We have an old Coleman roof unit. Works fine but gobbles power. We got to demo some induction woks at the Mutual Trading Company tradeshow in Pasadena this year. Chef/partner who is Korean, was, er, not excited. Not was anybody else...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    Haha. I own an Izakaya. Japanese and Korean food. We have woks. 250k-350k btu per burner baby. 20-30 nozzles per pan. Cooking is about controlling carmalizarion. I see the merits of induction in a camping environment for people who choose to do so. I do not and will never. Most of my cooking is...

    Summer Overlanding in Nunavut at 69 deg. N. Latitude - The Search for the Tomb of Captain Sir John Franklin Continues!! (part 1)

    NOPEC, I LOVED the Terror, both the novel and the show! Such a great mashup of history/folklore and I'm a huge Jared Harris fan. Everything he touches is gold. Not unexpected being Richard Harris's son. I've had The Abdominal on my list for some time. With the weather turning, seems like now is...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    True. Heat pumps, especially 12v inverter variable types, are amazing. We just outfitted our entire bar with heat pumps. Cold weather handling has improved greatly. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced 12v heat pump for our application? I should disclose I am a fire enthusiast (borderline...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    You know what else can be a right pain in the but? An elaborate and delicate electrical system with key functionality (eat, shower, heat) tied to electronics. I'm fine with induction cooktops etc all power to you and all, but I have no desire to ditch propane. Multiple systems, one fuel. Do you...
