A dab of glue before wadding and drying for extra precaution.

Ground tent. I live Wranglers because of the open summers. A roof tent would not jive with that. Trailers are just more than I can justify spending.

I have the orange ARB gloves as my primary, and the cheap leather ones that came with the strap kit as backup.

I have not had freeze dried foods camping before, will have to give them a shot after hearing these positive remarks.

Harbor freight freebie lights (like the left photo) are great to stash away all over. Useful for up close work. I have a different rechargeable light similar to the right photo and I love it. The articulation and magnetic base make it incredibly useful.

What changes to your rig were fast removed, or regretted? Why did your opinion on it change?

When camping and hiking its usually lugging my bag o' camera gear. Kills my back, I can enjoy the outdoors without it, but photographing things is worth it to me.

I went with orange x bulls after using some winter wheeling. They will not last forever, but the pair I used had been used several dozen times already.

I would highly advise going out alone whenever possible. That being said solo trips happen, a lot. Have you checked the US East section yet? I trust someone there can give you a recommendation.

I currently have dual band amateur radio and GMRS. A few good points about logging have made me wonder if I should grab a CB, even though locally FRS is king.

The Trailgater has been on my want list since I first saw it, but am having a hard time bitting that bullet. Is there a time of year where they go on sale at all?

Anyone here aware of any updates? I assume it will still be in the process for a few years more before its an official trail.

While my local places are not as amazing as those posted here, it is great to have time to explore smaller parks I had not yet had the opportunity and time to hit up.

It’s a nonexistent place. Vikings Country is not a National Park.

How do we keep the quality of the submissions up and report bad map additions? Near me there is a non existent national park.

Had a caliper bolt shear while diagnosing a squeak. Found uneven pad wear and a nice walk to the auto store tomorrow.

The paths on aprs.fi seem to be all good paths, so its probably a setting on the "smart" beaconing of the radio itself and not path related. That is my going theory at least.

I have been happy with my FTM-400XDR with the APRS I have done while literally grocery shopping. Sending/receiving messages through smsgate has worked pretty well in my area, they did have an system outage while I was first experimenting with it and setting up some things. As far as my tracking...

I used some gen 2 of those this winter. They worked surprisingly well. Once I got home I ordered the gen 3s. Have yet to use those with work and now with the current events.

I took out the rear seat and made a simple platform out of plywood and spray on liner. I do not have a fridge or anything major to take with me while out and about. Storage/tool bags work with my needs for now. Not an end all be all solution, but a cost effective intermediary.
