I dunno. I always use a tarp. I just always have. I dont necessarily "wrap" the tent in it so much as I tie the corners to trees, set at a tilted angle so the water rolls off towards the low ground.

Philips Planisphere and I were friends back in the 80's and 90's. Just found it again recently.

Without getting political, this is more Civics...the States were always supposed to be able to govern themselves, and many only joined "the Union" with the express expectation that they be able to do so. .this is not politics, just the civics of how the nation came to be. That's why I was...

I drive through Jersey as little as possible as it is, so I hadn't noticed

A few cities and towns in Massachusetts still require the attendant to pump gas, like Watertown. Drives me up a wall.

Saw a documentary about Iceland volcanos and another on Egyptian archaeology. All they were driving was those Toyota Land Cruisers. Made me wish Jepp would get its head out of its butte and make the grand Cherokee a serious contender

Respectfully: No, sir. Chevrolet Suburban. 1934 for 1935 model year. THE longest continually produced nameplate in automotive history (though that's immaterial to the conversation, it is an interesting aside)

@ThundahBeagle I have to ask why you say a hard no to Grand Cherokees and Armadas. I have seen were a few people are taking the Armada out into the backcountry. I have also seen were some people are starting to modify them, albeit just slightly. I know that there will always be people taking...

Suburban - the original motor vehicular people mover. Newer Tahoes are near the size of older Suburbans. Mechanically the same as the Yukons. And most interior parts too. Obviously the Sequoias are the Tahoes of the Toyota world so they'd be great too. Hard no to the Grand Cherokee and...

I prefer a full two handed FRONT bumper grab, myself.

She's a raptor...and she's green...So... RAP-scallion

You found it! The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!!!

The width of the truck is the width of the truck. Floor meets doors, as does the bench seat. You wont gain much hitting the floor. Personally if those are your only two choices, I'd elevate my feet and sleep on the bench. There are other choices, though, which involve the bed of the truck...

Like red row hooks making it better off-road

If that's a picture on a beach at Cape Cod National Seashore, they do inspections before giving you a sticker that allows you to be out there. I dont see one on this truck but dont know if you've ever been out there in another vehicle, but they have a required equipment list that puts you well...

I like those Trail Boss trucks. What any truck should be at minimum in my book. Nice choice! Have a lot of fun with it. Are you out on The Cape in that pic? What's next? I am guessing a 2500 series Silverado. Those old hard sided slide in campers are heavy enough you are probably very...

Boston's just a bunch of old cow paths widened out to be called streets. Parts of NYC as well, but Manhattan...nice grid pattern. Miss your turn, take the next one that's not one way. Just get in the rythm

To me it is simple. I have a pen on my person almost at all times. Fisher Space Pen bullet pen in that little 5th pocket of my pants or a Parker Jotter in my top chest pocket, all the way to the left in the pocket - not directly in front of the heart. I keep one in the center console. I keep...

They dont call us MassHoles for nothing. I'd rather drive in Manhattan than downtown Boston any day of the week

When I was young and stupid I was young and stupid. I might have goaded the trucker. Today? Just get out of the way. You will pass their wreck further on up the road.
