When has it gone too far? Once you get it all organized in alphabetical order, and then number each item in that order. Then you have gone too far, because if you try to add anything in you will have to shift all the subsequent numbers down the line (My HS Calculus teacher actually did this...

The desert/river crowd (think Glamis/Colorado river) use lights. These would be folks who have vehicles which they leave for months at a time. Rodents can do a lot of damage in that time. Major bummer to discover when you come out to play and find your toys are inoperable. In this age of low...

"Are we there yet??" I solved that problem. "Here's a map Varmint. Find where we are. Then find where we are going. Figure it out. And no, there is no opting out of this. It is an order. You will find the answers. It is the most important thing you have to do at this time." Obviously...

A potentially useful tip on tree climbing, particularly if your kids are anything like my Varmints: "Don't climb any trunk/limb/branch that is smaller in diameter than your own leg." That is the rule I gave The Varmints. Easy enough to compare to one's own leg at the moment. Rational enough...

The quinine point would be an interesting detail. I would expect the drink to make it evident if it does indeed include quinine. For about two decades now I have been drinking lots of water. I found that is the best thing I can do to avoid migraines. However, for the past several years I...

+1 Even better with some vanilla ice cream. My kind of health drink.

But how am I going to tow my razor out the trailhead if I don't have a big diesel?:confused:

I think an important element is the fact that you can just buy one outright and instantly have a trail ready vehicle. And not just a little bit important in that equation is the fact that you can borrow the money to do so. Additionally, should something happen to the one you now have you could...

Carry dog treats so you can hand them out every time you stop? On the hopefully slightly more helpful front: Get yourself some 2" wide blue painter's tape (this is preferred because it will adhere well, but will also come back off gracefully) and use it to cover gaps or other probable causes...

Incredible! That is the way it should go. And I really don't think you need to eat crow over this. If anything, I appreciate your willingness to see both sides of this particular picture. In any given group there are going to be some folks who make the group look bad, I think the SxS crowd...

It's funny that Side-by-Sides should come up at this moment. The Bride and I just came back from a walk to go get an ice cream and encountered a SxS crossing the a main road, on a residential street. Radio was blaring. Tandem lighted whips in the back. Certainly not registered for the...

Where is Road? Of all the advice you are likely to get, pay close attention to his. He knows what it is to travel off road in a Chevy Express.

Ah. We are back to "Overlanding is living like a hobo".

Personal theory: I think many of these "idiots" lacked fathers to teach them better. Could be they were raised by a single mom, or could be their dad was just one of those who worked all the time and never spent time with his family, or what little time he did spend wasn't spent teaching. Or...

Sodium is essential.

This is very true. It is a double standard. As with most things in life, there is a flip side. We can be assertive and no one has a problem with that. When a woman is assertive she is regarded as a bit of a female dog. Pros and cons for everything. It all balances out in the end. Us guys...

This is exactly what happened in 1849. And ever since, folks have been complaining about those who return to their states from California. What's up with that?

Ain't it amazing how something so good can be turned into something so bad?

Hmm... Gonna need to try that spin on Pigs in a Blanket.

San Diego could do chapters on the basis of neighborhoods.
