We have a plastic set, I believe MSR. I melted 1 fork cooking eggs..... I'm looking at the snowpeak stuff for our future plates and utensils. I prefer metal usually for it's strength and find it easier to clean.

Got the large snowpeak the other day. The craftsmanship is great. Folds up easily and not too heavy. Looking forward to testing it out soon.

Yep, I hate varnish on most of my tools. Any quality axe should come un-varnished and just treat with linseed oil.

@BoostedDoc Approach angle is 30° Departure is 28.5° Is that good or bad? I calculated my breakover angle as well. It came out to 24.1° with my side steps giving me 15" of ground clearance. The steps are in line with the frame so I doubt I'll get much better than that even if I upgrade to...

Damn, I was out voted... Looks just ok now :grin:

That looks awesome

Thanks, it's more comfortable around here.

Sweet! I'll be able to do that Thursday and report back.

I actually have no idea how to measure that. I think ADD had told me at one point, but the lift would throw that off. I'll have to get back to you on that.

Thanks! It's a constant work in progress

We'll make it happen

Have my DD setup done. Wanted one of the HD Diamondback truck covers for a while. We travel alot to different towns/cities and don't camp. I needed something to keep our stuff dry and secure. Bonus is being able to load stuff on top. I think it looks damn cool too....

Looks like a fun trail to run. I'll have to plan a trip through Canada some year.

Finally got the diamdback installed

This thread just went in a hilarious direction. Wonder what they expect in my Coleman extreme cooler with no fancy latches or locks...

How about with pick up beds? My RTT will be above the bed of the truck. I'm thinking I should move the cooler from the bed and either throw it in the back seat or slide it under the truck. I'm not sure which is best yet. I will be in grizzly territory this summer.

Synthetic shackles are great. Especially for joining two straps together. Personally I would not use them on any metal recovery point that has sharp or squared edges. I'd rather use a metal shackles in that case.

Where do you place the heater in your tent? I need to pick one up for my rtt. Plan on the VT overland rally again this year, the baby will need some heat to be able to sleep at night.

I love my Salomon Quest GTX boots. I wish I bought 3 more pairs to store away. Here is the newer version of what i have. http://www.salomon.com/us/product/quest-4d-2-gtx.html?article=373259 For work I'm using 5.11 skyweight boots. Not exactly thrilled with them. They do the job but I need to...

Very cool! I like what you are doing here. Can't wait to see how the work goes. Other than fixing what has deteriorated, what are your future plans with it?
