I haven't hit the trails without a fresh chain installed and a backup in the box since that trip. I learned my lesson! I replaced the bar recently and it ran hard a few weeks ago. I am taking it for service next week. Getting the chain oil jet cleaned, new plug and wire, carb rebuilt, so it...

Actually this isn't that far off! I run the bush hog on the tractor in the raised position and back up to the sides of the hedges!

If there was a "Definitely Maybe" option I would choose that one. If I do come at this point I'll have to piggyback someone else's spot or go on down the road to Burrell's or somewhere. I'm playing it loose. It's time for the saw to be serviced anyway. I've gotta have it ready to go so I don't...

It would have been a much shorter trip if we had to hack that stuff with handsaws and hatchets. I'm even going to drop the saw off to be serviced at the end of the month and I'm going to get it tuned up. I'll get all of my chains sharpened at the same time so they will be fresh and hungry. I put...

Chainsaw with a SHARPENED chain. If I come I'll bring mine with a fresh chain, but it all depends on how that James River trip goes.

I'd rather be fishing on a leaky metal boat barefoot during an electrical storm than find a snake has slithered it's way into my camp.

I wish I had the time to learn metal working! I considered buying some gear and trying to teach myself, but I don't know what to buy. I definitely don't have the time or energy to take a class. I work as the operations officer for a company that sells specialty engineered valves, controls &...

4-link with solid axles would pretty much just make it a buggy with a boxer engine. Yes to the long travel though. I have 2" front strut spacers, 2½" rear strut spacers, 2" subframe spacers, Bilstein B6 struts, King Rally springs with 245/65-17 tires. In a no-holds-barred scenario on a car...

I'm in the wind on this for the moment. Like @JButtress said above, this is the weekend after the James River thing. I'm going to play it by ear. If I can't get a site in time I'll snag a place over at Burrell's Ford.

I usually carry most of the time with a semi-auto (either a baby Glock 26 or a fullsize Colt 1911) but when I'm going into the wild I keep my little Charter Arms .38 special with snake shot handy. I don't know about out west, but here in the southeast I've heard a lot lately about rattlesnakes...

He's really playing up the ex-police vehicle. I bet you see more brake lights on the highway than the rest of us!

Yeah... I'm not great with either medium. I don't have any experience with metal working. I think I would need to take a class on welding or something, which I don't really have time for. I've done a few good small wood projects, but not many. The boat I built the casting deck on was an aluminum...

I love this! I want to get a smaller something like this for just the trunk area of my OB. However, having just finished building a new casting deck on my flats fishing skiff Sunday - I’m not all that confident in my craftsman skills.

I technically have three, but only the GMRS and CB antenna are a little bit noticeable. They stick up like 32" from the top of the car on either side. The WeBoost antenna is smaller than the satellite radio antenna shark fin looking thing that it came from the factory with.

A lot of people have pointed out how much clearer the GMRS radios are than the CB. I have both in my rig. I have the Midland MX275 GMRS with the 6dB antenna and a Uniden Bearcat CB with a similar size antenna. I barely ever even turn on the CB anymore. I only ever use it to listen to the...

Very good point, but either way I don't plan on being the one to do the cutting. I have very unsteady hands in general.

They do, but it isn't nearly as solid as the complete Warn package. I'm not going ahead with the winch option because I am wrestling with the bumper issue myself right now. I found an adapted wiper fluid reservoir, but I know I don't have the skillset to cut my bumper and fab a new guard. I also...

Nice! I'm really jealous of the Warn options they made just for the Treks... leaving the big wagons out of all the fun.

Welcome to OB. I'm in Spartanburg as well. I'm the fool rolling around in the crazy looking Subaru wagon. Horsepasture is actually a further drag out than Old NC 105 which are both beginner level runs. From the western side of Spartanburg (I see in your tag thing in your profile that you are on...

I would like to be able to take my kayak with me on some trips. Up top, I have an extended Thule Canyon XT basket mounted to a set of 47” Thule WingBar Evo crossbars. The basket has four forward facing Hella 500 lights on the front that would prevent me from lashing it down on the basket itself...
