    Recovery Board Color: What are your preferred Color Choices?

    Bright red Maxtrax. I wanted something bright and easy to see in whatever I’m stuck in. For what they cost I don’t want to lose them!

    Solar Setup

    Thank you I must’ve taken way longer than needed researching it but I didn’t want to burn my truck down when I plugged in some lights or a fridge. Rebuilding the plywood enclosure to make a smaller footprint and rearranging the components to all fit didn’t help (labor and time-wise) but at least...

    Solar Setup

    Between Will Prowse and the book "solar and 12v power for beginners" I was finally able to wrap my head around building my portable solar 12v system. I wanted something that would charge from pv panels or from vehicle alternator output and something I could use in the truck for camping or at...

    Any Hunters Among Us?

    Thanks for reminding me to get this year's license and tag. I'll have to look in the camp kitchen forum for tag soup recipes; see if there's any I haven't tried yet ;) CA D3-D5 is appx 11% success rate but its pretty and a good excuse for more back country camping.

    Coffee Set Ups

    I’ve worked for a coffee company here in the Bay Area for many many years now (back in the 90s I started on the retail end) and I think I’ve tried almost every method invented. I pretty much default to pour over. I like the red ( or black) plastic filter holders; they’re made in Holland, cost...

    Subaru Owners Registry

    I could do that but then what would I do with the new Frontier :) I never felt the inclination to make the WRX more off-roadable because its just such a blast to hit the windy (paved) back roads in. Low is good for that. So, as I've learned the hard way, if its not broke don't fix it. The new...

    Post your recovery gear bag

    There’s a channel on u-toob called “seek adventure” that does a really good head to head between the x bull and the max trax. It’s surprising how well they held up. Not sure about snow use but they seemed ok for warmer weather.

    Subaru Owners Registry

    I still have my 2003 WRX sedan but I don’t overland in it. I’ve gone out some questionable trails following some friends in trucks but the lack of clearance holds it back.

    We don't really see the crazy thunderstorms and such around these parts though I see some good ones when I visit Arizona. Heres a shot from in-between snow storms from last September. Fordyce lake, CA

    Lifetime cooler, great cooler for great price

    Decent price, USA made, and works pretty well from the sound of it...Walmart, you say? I may need to go find one of these. Ice doesn't seem to last but a couple days in my cheapo igloo.
