The hankook AT2 is marketed as their all terrain tire so I reckon it's better than a street tire in the durability department... At least I should hope!

thanks for the videos! Seems like a good ballpark

Trying to get a feel for what kind of numbers I should target for more comfortable off road exploring.... I’m in a AWD Honda Element on 235/70r16 hankook dynapro at2.... great mannered tire on road, didn’t take much of a mpg hit at all from stock 215/70on road tires..... I’ve been running...

I used to be a ham back in the days of Morse... had a sweet tube amp 40m rig with a dipole in the attic so I wouldn’t mind getting licensed again...whenever in person testing can resume. I’m going to give the baofeng a try. Seems configurable enough to pass a “restricted” setup one off to...

I found a variant that is fcc licensed, seems legit enough (I checked the fcc site and it’s there for sure). And yep obviously follow all regulations..... Is their range generally better than the bubble pack radios? This pack I found also includes longer whips

Ah gotcha. Debating giving a baofeng a try... thoughts?

Fully aware. I loaded the local, nothing. Tried the rest, nothing.

I signed up for the free streaming trial and IMMEDIATELY started the cancellation process.... the app is horrifically bad. If it was integrated to the vehicle it might be ok but the app is clunky junk. Sticking with Spotify premium and just downloading pre trip on grid.

Man that’s B.A. lookin tho!

I did research the local NOAA frequency and it was not receivable despite being at most 10 miles straight line distance away.... Well, maybe the range is about all I can expect in an urban environment.

So before going full radio command station with my rig, I grabbed some 2watt FRS/GMRS handhelds. They’re fcc certified so all good there. I’m a former general ham but not in many years. took the dog on a walk around the neighborhood to give them a test. 6 blocks away...about 1/4 mile they...

Sounds good! I personally can't stand a scratchy shirt collar so soft stuff around or near my neck is king.

I gotta say I love my plain old cheap shemagh. It’s gotten super soft over the years and makes a great makeshift hammock pillow! I think this is one item to not overthink!

Hey OB! New guy here, and in the spirit of taking up @Michael 's 500 mile challenge and planning a good 3 day outing, I was looking for tools to help me set a "target zone" Searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this one... www.oalley.net So, say you wanna do a roughly 500 mile...

So I’m looking at mid June doing a Friday-Sunday loop out of Seattle. Most of the group will be between total novice and, mildly experienced, with vehicles being in the Subaru type class.... Thinking day 1 is get out to Ellensburg and do the WABDR section 3 up around lion rock and make camp...

Finally got around to hardwiring a USB port. No idea why I didn't do it sooner!

Sweet... But I'll dispute the beach claim... Padre Island National Seashore has about 60 miles of driveable, uninhabited beach. ;) "North Padre Island is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world. The national seashore is 70 miles (110 km) long with 65.5 miles (105.4 km) of Gulf beach. "

Yah! We we're actually going to camp this weekend near Cle Elum but the dogsitter fell through (the doggo is very fair weather!)... Absolutely will try to keep an eye on these events! Thanks!

Thanks! The camping here is spectacular. I do miss the desert of West Texas and beach camping though!

I will find your fishing spots, and fish them!! Fellow salmon/steelheader from Fremont!
