Looks like the retirement party is on after all, so I won't be able to make it.

That is a good looking set, way nicer interface than my older ICOM. At that price it will be a serious contender for entry hams. EDIT: the link seems to be broken and I can't find the radio on the Midland page.

Hey, I got a message that you tagged me in a Rally Point. Unfortunately, there was a problem and the message didn't have a link to the event; I can't seem to find any rally point in my area on the list.

I'm a maybe. I have a work event that day to bid farewell to my manager, but there is a strong chance it will be postponed.

Glad you got it sorted. When I saw their office was in Salt Lake, I was about to offer to go get the part you needed in-person.

I had an idea for removable mud flaps that would also be flexible if I kept them on while off road. It involved attaching a tube to the rear bumper or lower rear quarter that would take an insert. The mud flap would be attached to a "C" shaped bracket that would slide into the tube and be...

Latest purchase: Catalytic converter. Next: 30" light bar from a friend.

I have two CATS tourniquets in my overland rig, one in the large first aid kit and another in a PFAK on the back of the driver's seat. I hope I never need them (and I'm probably over-equipped), but with how few people I see on the trail with their own kits, I feel better having more than I...

Less-Than-Lethal is fine for animals, but I would not recommend it for defense against people. Most states specify that before you can use a firearm in self defense, you must be in fear for your life or at risk of significant injury. The firearm is not the ammunition, and the law typically...

Yup, that's flooded. Try letting it sit for a few minutes.

.45-70 Revolver. https://www.magnumresearch.com/bfr-big-frame-revolver/ I would still carry a carbine in bear country. A Henry 45-70 only weighs about 6# and it's far easier to aim and fire in a stressful situation than a pistol.

.45-70 Government is another popular caliber for bears and commonly used by guides in Alaska.

AKA: "Rule 1"

What are the clothing sizes you and the family wear? I may I have some things I can send you to help you get back on your feet.

As much as I want to come and test out my new swag, it's my wife's birthday and I am going to spend the weekend with her. Have fun guys, hopefully I can attend the next one.

I wouldn't mind getting up out of the heat, but it depends on the day. We are celebrating my wife's birthday, so it kind of depends what she wants to do.

Harley Davidson apparently thought it was April and announced this... thing. Because what I really want to hear in the back country is someone bringing The Thunder of Screaming Eagle pipes to everyone in a 5 mile radius.

Out here in the west we have a fairly widely accepted 2m frequency for overland and off road calling. 146.460 simplex is the most common. I don't even turn on my CB unless I'm already in a group and we have an established channel, there's just too much noise and not enough decorum on CB to...

What is the base vehicle? It looks almost like an old ComBloc design.
