Go light and comfortable, get a hammock. I stopped sleeping in the ground long ago actually have go to sleeping in a hammock full time now. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Being an eagle scout the Boy Scout moto is turned into my mind, "Be prepared". It isn't about real or received dangers rather about philosophy. I don't know what challenges the world will throw at me 5 minutes, 5 days, or 5 years from now. But I do know I am much more likely to weather the...

I grew up hunting, fishing, and scouting. Being outdoors is just in my blood. It has never been about the style of the for rather about a connection to the dirt under my feet. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Stranded is fine until you have a schedule to keep or are in need of medical attention. And a 12V trickle charger isn't going to cut it on a system designed for 220V. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

One major problem, how do you recharge in the bush? Finding 220V when bumping around away from civilization isn't easy. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

If I drive like a Texan I am getting 18 mpg cruising down the highway. If I drive like an old man I get 22 mpg on highway. When pulling a 27 ft travel trailer I was getting about 10 mpg. On trail is a question of trail conditions.

1) Tool kit specific to your vehicle and complete with fuses, electrical tape, duct tape, and WD-40. 2) Water. The amount is up to you but I like 10 gallons personally. 3) fire kit with multiple ignition sources. 4) first aid kit. You have to determine the extent of this for yourself. 5) a...

It is his vehicle too do with as he pleases. But it also advisable to leave ones vehicle as close to stock as possible. Bigger tires also equate to bigger cost. Some guys just like big tires and that is fine. I just don't understand incurring unnecessary cost and putting additional stain in...

6 one way half a dozen the other in terms of material. You will have at least one full size spare anyway. One last thing about the width. I understand the mechanics of it. I still don't understand what it is your vehicle Diane so now that the wider tires will correct. Sent from my XT1585...

I understand that as well. But it is back to the question I asked. Is this a need? Modifying ones vehicle for appearance is all well and good but in the world of overlanding it isn't a need. Now if his overlanding vehicle did not get him where he was trying to go and this required...

I understand the larger profile for a lifted truck. I am trying to understand the need for width. From your description it sounds like it is a cosmetic want more then a need. Which is fine but it didn't address my question. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

So ground clearance then? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

What is your need for wider wheels? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I run the stock aluminum that came of my Ram. My thoughts are if it ain't broke don't fix it. Whenever I get around to lifting the truck I might change out the wheels but truthfully with a lift I can run bigger tires and keep the wheels. If you want wheels for style then go for it but as a...

Salt, pepper, all spice, creole, garlic, and hot sauce covers 90%of my needs. If I am planning on cooking something like chili the list grows. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

This is my solution.

Depends. If you use good quality wire and ground everything properly most likely not. But you won't know until you try. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

First thing you need to do is look at the specs and find out both parties and contact per draw. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

So now we are to the name calling stage. I think you need to take an economics course. But that is nether here nor there and this dialog is not productive. I'm out. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
