    Storing eggs

    Drat! I have family in town this weekend and won't be able to make it. I will definitely keep my eyes open for another outing. Feel free to add me to any notification list for such things in the future.

    Hi Jim, how much of WABDR did you do? I live in Mount Vernon.

    Ziplock Omelets

    Something else you could try. - Mix your eggs and ingredients together. - Put into a glass dish in the freezer. - Once frozen put this egg brick into a vacuum seal bag and seal it with a Food Saver. - Keep frozen or allow to thaw in your cooler. Now you have an airtight, preserved, boilable...

    Land Use - Leave It Better Than You Found It

    I just visited one of my favorite shooting spots recently. I was on my mountain bike so couldn't really do clean up, but the place sure needed it. Anybody have good before and after photos to share of cleaning up an area and taking care of it?

    Looking for a tough, small Linux computer for my rig

    I've written some software for recording OBD-II data and GPS location from my truck. My prototype system has been Linux running on a Macbook, but I'd like to permanently install a robust Linux machine dedicated to this job. I've been looking at the MintBox Mini 2 because of its lack of fans and...

    Overlanding with cast iron skillet

    Yes, plastic can melt and/or bits of it come off from stuff stuck to the cast iron if it's really burnt on. I find a steel spatula to be best. I also have a small chainmail "rag" that is just awesome for cleaning. It'll get a little greasy and at that point I just wad it up and wash it by...

    Overlanding with cast iron skillet

    If they're rusting then you're leaving water in them for too long. Cast iron loves having a good coating of oil burnt into it every once in a while. Only use steel or wooden spatulas, never plastic or rubber. And never let soap touch it. All it needs is a good scraping and wiping out with a soft...

    Post Up Your Cockpit

    Also, what are the zombie lights and the sasquatch lights and how do they differ? I would imagine zombie lights might be super bright flood lights for up close combat and sasquatch lights might be long range spot lights. You know how they like to run.

    Post Up Your Cockpit

    Nice looking interior. Can you access the fire extinguisher from the driver's seat with the door closed?

    Search and some forums not working?

    Trying to search the forums I sometimes get a blank page. And I'm posting here because the Support forum is also producing a blank page. Is this just happening to me?

    Overlanding with a GM 6.5 TD

    The heaviest thing I'm pulling with it is my Humvee trailer with CVT tent, propane, mountain bikes, and various overland gear.

    Overlanding with a GM 6.5 TD

    Just wondering who out there also has the GM 6.5TD in their rig? Mine happens to be in a 1996 Hummer wagon. I love this rig. It's my daily driver, offroader, and overland rig all in one. Just wondering what tips & tricks others may have learned while living with this engine offroad for extended...

    Glacier National Park Rally

    I'd definitely be interested in attending an overland rally like this. I've driven my Hummer on Going to the Sun Highway years ago. Some of those rocks looked like they were going to reach out and touch us. :)

    Reputable Subaru shop in Whistler?

    Well, after a jump and inspection of what may have been left on I discovered the very back dome light switch had gotten flipped to on and had been left that way for about 48hrs. Stupid problem, but I think it's better than a dying alternator or something worse. Went for a drive and the...

    Reputable Subaru shop in Whistler?

    Just curious if anyone knows a reputable Subaru shop in Whistler. My wife and I have been here for the week. On Wed we tried to go for a drive and the car battery was completely dead. Had to get the car jumped and we drove straight to the auto parts store for a new battery as this one had some...

    Mountain biking

    Funny, I used to have a Nishiki Alien too. It was white with round tubing and a multicolored paint speckled paint job. So 90's.
