Knipex wrench pliers. The pliers version of a crescent wrench. They feed my laziness by fitting every bolt size. Basically channel locks without destroying your bolt heads... They also work as a mini press, to press things together like roll pins or bearing casings. Way more useful than I could...

I don't have experience with sat phones but another option may be to pickup a Starlink mini from Home Depot. Then you can do all the things that you could with wifi.

Retractable ratchet straps. They retract with a spring so you don't have to deal with the excess strap, and they're never separated. I use them on my roof rack and to tie down my awning... They store conveniently and without the mess of loose tangled straps. Idk why the link isn't working so I...

I put a queen size Costco air mattress in my T4 and still had enough space for a 2' x 4' table and some duffel bags at the foot. Can't imagine you'll have issues with any cot fitting. The only thing you should know is that the T4 bag is like 6 feet long.

PNW has had some recent storms that effected Oregon. I have no info to offer but I would bet money that sections of the route will be impassable for at least another month.

Life in a bubble sounds boring to me, and yeah I think I agree with the sentiment that logic doesn't exist anymore since it's been aged out. The internet has outgrown the "yep" circles. Diversity of opinions is far more valuable in the quest for knowledge, understanding, and evolution.

lol some people just don't like conversation if it consists of countering perspectives. It's not a personal attack, it's just offering another perspective.

If you shovel snow or mud, putting that in the trunk with the family's luggage, fridge, electronics, etc.. isn't ideal. I like to keep the elements on the outside, and the inside dry, comfortable, and clean as possible. Having a clean and climate controlled place to escape to on long...

I take all that stuff off, but my jeep isn't a daily driver anyway. Shovel is a necessity for campfires and if you don't have a truck bed, racks are the best way to carry them.

If that means that my favorite campsites won't be taken when I arrive there, then I hope you're right.

FireCrate 50cal ammo can fire pit with their 20psi regulator. Produces a good flame and propane is way more convenient than carrying around firewood. You don't get the nostalgic smell but you don't have to worry about fire bans during wildfire season. I've yet to see something that out performs...

Do you use a steel cable on your winch? Snatch blocks/pulleys? Generally speaking, snatch blocks that work with a D ring are not compatible with winch ropes. These require steel cable and actually weigh a lot (like 20lbs each). A pulley that works with winch ropes are not compatible with D...

I've been using the Joolca Hot Tap and it's been great for us. I only take it with us when we're going out for extended trips of 4 days or more. https://www.joolca.com/products/hottap-v2

The clickbait was the thread title and a video that didn't show a result. So while your organic video may not be, the context of how you presented your video to us on the forum was clickbait. Thank you for following up with a better link. Sorry to hear about the motor.

Have both. They each have their place. Soft shackles weigh nothing and can fit in the bag with your straps or ropes. Cheap also if you get some of the import brands. I use D ring shackles on bumpers with mounts for them and soft shackles pretty much everywhere else. The bumper tabs for D-Ring...
