Post up if you'll be out tomorrow! Looking forward to some time in the woods!

You do not have to say the "for ID" part. Its superfluous. Merely begin your next comment with your call sign. Folks will understand that it is for identification purposes. Otherwise spot on.

I carry a single AA LED light in the rule pocket on carperter pants/shorts. I don't wear cargo style pants, just carpenter with the rule pocket. My Gerber multi-tool does ride in a pouch on my belt on the left side. Pocket knife clipped in the right front pocket of my pants with my car keys. The...

Probably daily for some reason. I used it to open some stuff around the cabin this weekend and used it as soon as I got home to clip the tape on some boxes when I walked in the house. I feel naked without a knife and flashlight on my person at all times. My multi-tool has also become a full time...

My wallet cries whenever it hears we're gonna stop in there. I had actually gone in for an ESEE 4 of some variety but upon realizing that I didn't have a folder in my pocket AND them being out of stock on the leather sheath for the 4, I just picked this up and decided to hold off on a 4 for the...

Realized I didn't have a pocket knife with me when we got to Gatlinburg Friday so we made an emergency stop at Smokey Mountain Knife Works and I grabbed an ESEE folder for a reasonable price. Crisis averted folks, everyone carry on about your days!

Dad and I had Cherokees at the same time and took Mom and my wife out riding in the mountains on a snowy day like that. Wound up being 3-4" of snow on 2" of solid ice. That was a touch and go trip. I wound up sliding backward about 70yrd on a hill when I completely lost traction near the top. I...

Looks like a fun trip! Glad you got yourself mobile again. That could have been a cold walk out for help.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there Sunday morning! Who all is planning on going so we have a rough head count? Also, who is having difficulties with notifications? I'm considering closing this thread down and starting a new rally point. This one was migrated from the old forum/RP...

Been doing them around Roanoke for a while. Ate more than one BBQ sandwich by myself because no one showed. It's just part of the game I think. Hopefully you'll have better turnout next time.

Yes. You'd want the strap running from the bracket to the nearest body bolt with good metal to metal contact on both ends of the strap. A little copper anti-seize applied to the contact area will help seal out moisture and the anti-seize is conductive so it also helps provide a good ground. DX...

It would be best, yes. Also you could use tinned copper braid straps to connect it to the body. That way you'd only have to make sure the surface was bare under the connection points of the braid straps rather than stripping a larger area where the bracket contacts the body.

Well generally it'll be set up near the cooking/eating area instead of directly at the vehicle but you could pop it up over your tailgate if you used it for meal prep/eating or toss it up next to the vehicle if access to the vehicle under the shelter was needed. @BRIAN NABY had one he tied to...

That doesn't look like a good tie into the vehicle body for a good ground. I would be leery of it. Plus you'll need to remove all the paint from both your antenna mount and ditch light bracket at the contact points to make sure you have good RF continuity.

Everyone is spot on. Just starting out? Get used gear second hand. Facebook is a great place to pick up second hand camping gear. I really love the old Coleman fuel lanterns and stoves. You can get nice, runable pieces for $15-30 if you're patient. They parts are readily available and most...
