    Has anyone used a Hitchgate? Feedback?

    I am sure it would be in that case. However if you already have the receiver as your spot to hit, the hitchgate will lessen the departure angle and add stress via the extra leverage to the hitch and mounts for the hitch.

    OB Approved Section V: Emergency Rations

    Yup. It is titled "emergency rations" and they are definitely better than most things for that, but they do bring the suck when you are eating them.

    OB Approved Section V: Emergency Rations

    Calorie bars are good to have and cheap really. Enough to keep you going for awhile. Certainly not as tasty as an energy or granola bars(which are good to keep as well), but are definitely good for a true emergency.

    Cyber Monday Deal: Mountain House, Just In Case... Essential Bucket

    Only 5 bucks more today. They are not too bad really and getting a bucket is awful convenient just to have put back for emergencies.

    Has anyone used a Hitchgate? Feedback?

    I have wheeled with people running a hitchgate and they work. They work well. You can build one cheaper, but they do as intended without worry. I saw them hold up to tons of rough road and trail use with 33-35 inch tires as well as extras, like hilifts and shovels. I built a fold down...

    OB Approved Section V: Emergency Rations

    Rations: Canned foods are far too heavy in my experience. I would never include them in a GHB/BOB. Simple GORP is always a good one for adult and family alike. Ramen noodles are cheap and easy. Also lightweight and easy enough to have a bit of variety. Rice, beans, dehydrated veggies, and...

    The clear was half peeled. I actually almost painted them gold, but a few beers later I figured to just use what is on-hand and made em black.

    "Survival"/ gun questions.

    Wasp Spray works as well. Generally is cheap and easy to acquire and has a 20 foot spray so anywhere in a room is reachable.

    Recovery Kits

    Recovery and communications are separate imo. I also did not mention the 2 fire extinguishers, because they are not for recovery but are important. Those and the comm stuff are always along for the ride.

    2006 Trailblazer

    Thanks. It has been a bunch of work, but it has been fun. Much of the stuff for the platform got prototyped on it, so it felt like doing some mods over and over, but it really has turned out well and works far better than most would believe. It will get yet another front bumper here in not too...

    Is my rack too big? (Pun intended)

    That is what I said! I think you will like that. At least it is cheap try and you can always shorten and reinstall sides later if you want.
