    GPS/Tablet

    I've been using my Nexus 6 and Backcountry Navigator Pro. It took quite a bit of time to really figure out the app and found it shines in some aspects and I hate it in others. It's clunky, IME, and downloading map areas is a bit confusing and VERY slow. It does work, though, and I've grown to...

    Kids and Overlanding

    This is Scout She likes to "go for picnics in the woods" She's been on the backways with me since she was able to sleep through the whole thing Now she complains whenever I have to turn around "again" I'm not allowed to drive through big puddles in Momma's car because "it'll break and she'll be...

    Cooler Suggestions

    Orion Coolers. True to size (so, bigger than yeti). Holds ice longer in multiple tests. Multiple lashing points and better security features. 100% made in the USA.

    VIAIR air compressor

    There was another discussion about Viair this week. Most of us are quite happy with them. I'm not sure about your exact setup other than what I've seen online. I'd say go with the Viair system, since you have it, and if it shows to be a hassle, you can always go with the ARB under the hood...

    Northwest - Memorial Day Weekend, WABDR (modified)

    Was great to watch the videos show up in my YouTube feed this week. You guys definitely had more fun than I did. Wish I could join up in August, but the calendar is against me this year

    Cell Phone Network Coverage

    Fi defaults to WiFi if it's available. It'll go to CDMA/GSM if there isn't wifi available. I've found the switch between them to be unnoticable as I step out from my house and walk around the neighborhood while on the phone. I'll jump from Wifi (xfinity covers most of it) and CDMA/GSM a half...

    Cell Phone Network Coverage

    I've been on Fi for just over 2 years, switch my wife to it last fall. Being the NW, the US Cellular towers definitely come into more play, which is nice. I can't say that I've ever not had coverage when I needed it. I've even had coverage in areas that the Fi Map says there isn't (Yaak, MT)...

    Let's air it out

    and it seems I might have misunderstood duty cycle a bit http://www.truckspring.com/blog/post/2015/09/25/what-is-compressor-duty-cycle calculated at 100psi, which, well, I'll never see, so we should be plenty fine... Seems I won't have to go to the 450P or similar. Models 90 and up have thermal...

    Let's air it out

    hmmmmm... wonder where I saw the 45% duty cycle at... Seeing that it claims a 25min run, I feel much better about it, especially since it'll get a wee bit of cool-down between tires...

    Let's air it out

    I have the same, picked it up a couple weeks ago. It does run hot, but that doesn't much bother me. It'll take a dead flat 235/75/15 and run it up to 35psi in 4 minutes (as I learned when I discovered a nail in my tire yesterday after work). I reckon a dead flat 33 would be about 5-6 min, and...

    Fly Fishing

    More often than not that's @OregonTrail4runner for me. Most of the materials I tie with come from his shop, and I look forward to his emails. I SUCK at fly fishing, can flip a two-hander around OK., and haven't been out on the D in 4 years, when it broke my S10. Made me a lil gun shy, and...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I put together a locking 30cal ammo can into the center console of my S10 for the times I have to go into ranger stations (regularly, as I volunteer with the USFS) or the rare Post Office visit. On the front of the center console I also bolted in a holster that I use for long drives. Once I get...

    North Idaho Coeur D'alene Area

    I was just up that way the other day. I kept looking up at the mountains that I haven't seen for years, thought about this thread, and wish I didn't have to deal with responsibilities I had at the time. Someday I hope to be back up that way.

    People who steal suck!!!

    I hear you I just did an improptu 1100 mile trek for my grandfather's services (found out friday night, was on the road 5am sunday morning & home monday morning). When I got back I was a lil exhausted to do a full unload of my truck. Someone last night discovered that one of my doors decided not...
