Less risk of starting a forest fire too... :)

I've got a Uniden Bearcat in my truck, but it almost never gets used. The only reason I'm keeping it is for when someone in my group doesn't have any other communication options. I also use it for NOAA weather radio occasionally. Ham & GMRS are much more useful and versatile, but CB is a good...

I wish more people understood this concept!!

@Michael I second this!!! (or do I third it? LOL)

I've seen how to do that at home, but what about keeping stable in the truck? Last thing i need to do is light myself on fire!!

I've also found the CRKT M16 series to be great everyday knives that tolerate a good amount of use and abuse. Depending on size and version/features, they range anywhere from $20 to a little over $100. They are very easy to disassemble if they ever get really dirty or worn and need to be...

Good point. I live in northern Colorado. Average winter temps dip into the teens, but often hit single digits. Subzero is rare, but not unheard of. Here's the climate info (in Fahrenheit)

That's pretty nifty!!!

For all around abuse-taking utility knives, I highly recommend ESEE. They are built like tanks and come with a good old fashioned, no questions asked, transferable warranty.

Does anyone have good tips or tricks for comfortably sleeping in a truck on cold winter nights? I may be temporarily homeless soon due to my landlord getting foreclosed on. Housing in my town is at a 97% or higher occupancy (some of the highest in the country), and prices are insane. Don't have...

Just discovered this failed Kickstarter campaign while looking for a product exactly like this. Looks awesome, but the fundraiser apparently failed, which is truly unfortunate! I'm still attempting to find a similar product that is actually available. If I find one, I'll post it here...

If you've got the scratch, I say go for it!!

Or let your girlfriend drive while you lay flat in the back seat. :D

Go on a diet??? :tearsofjoy: I kid, I kid! Looks like you're already putting some good thoughts into weight distribution! Water is a big one actually. I know a few guys that run around with 10-15 gallons of it, when 5 gallons and a good filter will get you just as far. Another big one is your...

My $0.02 on spotting.... A spotter needs to be someone who is very calm. Trying to follow the directions of a frantic spotter is a good way to get your rig or yourself hurt.

If I could do a "pocket dump" for my truck, it would look about like this.... First Aid Kit -Standard IFAK supplies -QuickClot -CAT -Extra gauze and ace wraps -Suture kit Roadside Emergencies/Repairs -Flares & flameless alternative -Bottle Jack -HiLift -Kitty Litter (traction and fluid...

Same here. Former nuke, ET1(SS).

Never understood that. And I hate traveling there for work because some of those bikers are downright suicidal!

I didn't think anything was legal in California...:tongueclosed:
