    Gear security???

    I like these Master Lock locks. They are weather resistant and durable. I really like the fact that they are keyed alike as well.

    Can't decide; fridge or suspension...?

    The answer will depend on your type of adventuring. Do you take extended trips that require longer than 48hrs of cooling more than you take trips with more technical trails? If so, get the fridge. If not, get the suspension.

    Portable Grill Recommendations

    I picked up a Coleman Roadtrip with a melted handle for $0. Found a replacement lid/handle for $25 on eBay. We used it at NWOR for the first time and it worked great to cook our kalbi ribs... but as far as packing it, it is a little big and bulky for most of our trips. It's tough finding a...

    Getting ready for first trip.

    This is what my wife and I use... no platform needed. Just make sure the front seats are all the way forward to ensure you have the maximum room and the rear seat heads lay flat. Also, fill the air mattress in place, don't fill it then try to squeeze it in.
