Living in the Northeast, Bear encounters have become more and more common. We used to just see them in Vermont, but now we see them here in Connecticut as well. One of the first times we encountered bears was heading up to Coolidge State Campground in Plymouth, VT (which if you're in the area...

Tribe, I know a few of us have used, abused, and fallen in love with our TemboTusk Skottles and some have done reviews. I figured I would throw my opinion into the pile as well. Bon Apetite...

Hahaha. There's a weird door in the floor with chains on it... A book made of human skin on the coffee table.. Actually, when we first took ownership and went in, there was a newspaper on the coffee table talking about Michael Jordan retiring from Basketball... The first time.

Here's our official camp in VT. It was an old family camp that had been abandoned for almost twenty years when my best friend and I took ownership. There used to be a cut trail in so you could drive, but after 20 years it had grown in pretty significantly. So, we've been working on opening up...

I know there have a few different knife discussions here on the forum that have covered who's carrying what, but I wanted to share with everyone this latest knife I am testing out for Gear Institute: OKC Carter Prime. I look at and test a lot of knives throughout the year and this one has to be...

This was awesome! Thanks for sharing. Keep sharing!

Hey @BaseBklyn. The OEM crossbars for the 4Runner hold around 150lbs, but they flex, which is no bueno in my book. Thule and Yakima have a rating of 150-165lbs with their base racks and Rhino has a rating of 175lbs. I have the Rhino Pioneer Platform system on my 2005 4Runner (which would be...

Layers, Layers, Layers! Whether you're up and about or sleeping - having the right layers will make all the difference. I usually start with form fitting merino wool, as it's good in warm and cold weather and then I build!! Also - in windy conditions, avoid cottons as your outer layers - they...

I got so wrapped up into how I wanted it all to mount - it was almost maddening trying to find exactly what I wanted. I spent weeks looking for JUST THE RIGHT mounts for my axe and shovel and, in the end, ended up building up my own conglomeration of parts using one mount made specifically (but...

I just like putting it out there because I've see all the scary stuff. I watched the A and B pillars buckle on a Jeep Liberty under a fairly light load and it just shook me to the core (and led to a major redesign by Jeep). RTT's still freak me out - especially on factory cross bars - but I'm...

Nice rig indeed!

The roof line - hell the whole cab structure and design - of the 2016 Tundra is the same as the 2007-2015. There's a drip rail up there.

I designed racks and worked with auto manufacturers for over a decade and though this may have been "more" true 15-20 years ago, it's not now - as both the sheetmetal and structures on passenger vehicles has changed. If Thule recommends a dynamic load rating of 150, you're probably looking at a...

Awesome!

You could always look into a rectangular bag. There are a few companies who still make the traditional canvas versions and others that have updated the materials to make them more portable. Also, it might be worth checking these out if you're still after the mummy style...

I have a locking tush on my 4Runner and I've never used it - I haven't had to - but it's a nice feature to have because you just never know what kind of mess you'll get into. I was out on my property in Vermont last year and there was a considerable amount of snow on the ground. I ended up...

That's awesome!

http://www.primus.eu/kamoto-openfire-pit-large Comes with a grate for cooking or heating up pots and pans on top as well. It would be even better if it came with the carrying case Primus recommends. But, alas.

For the longest time I used Rain X Wipers... Then they started to go down in quality... So I switched to BOSCH Icon's.... Well, wouldn't you know - same problem. I started using Valeo wiper blades 3 years ago and I just replaced by first set in September. So I can get 3 years out of 1 set of...

This is a beautiful rig. Just beautiful.
