    Nice. I’ve never made it quite that far north in VA. Have always wanted to check out the park and Skyline Drive

    Expo East meet and greet

    I almost went to the expo east last year but ended up having to work. From what I saw it was an absolute muddy mess because we got hammered with rain all of 2018 here in NC. I’m only about 2.5 hours away from where the expo is this year so I’m probably gonna try to come up at least for a day

    Why are wranglers so expensive

    They’re so expensive because people will still buy them. I love the looks of the 4 doors Jeeps though

    Roof Top Tent on a Topper Shell

    I’m running a Leer 100XQ on my short bed Tacoma with a Tepui Kukenam 3, I think it’s even called like an ultra light model tent or whatever. Anyway the tent weighs about 115lbs without anything inside it when it’s folded up. The shell was used when I bought it and had two cracks in the...

    Hello from Western North Carolina...for now

    About the only thing I’ve ever considering putting in my truck radio wise is one of those small Midland radios that picks up the midland Walkie talkies cuz we use those when we go hunting to keep track of where everyone is or anyone needs help dragging deer out

    Hello from Western North Carolina...for now

    Haha same here. I went a little ways across it last October. Only went like 2 miles before I turned around and went back. It was pretty muddy from all the rain last year and I was by myself with no Maxtracks or winch so I didn’t wanna get hung up in the dark. And you know there’s no cell phone...

    Hello from Western North Carolina...for now

    Well they keep it gated most of the year except for hunting season. I have no idea where the road comes out or if it just eventually is a dead end

    Hello from Western North Carolina...for now

    I was gonna ask have you ever drove the forest road on top of Back Creek Mountain? It starts at 39. I’ve drive about a mile or two of it but never all the way across

    Tacoma Sleeping Platform

    I built a simple platform in my short bed Tacoma. Just two pieces of plywood and two 2x6 boards to hold the plywood up. I put some outdoor carpet on the plywood. I slept in the bed a few times late last fall. It got down to the low 20’s and was super windy but I had a good sleeping bag and my...

    Fly Fishing

    I love trout fishing. Been doing it my entire life. Recently got into fly fishing for trout and I’m hooked. Still have SOOOOOO much to learn. I thought catching trout and even smallmouth bass on an ultra lite was fun, until I started catching them both on a fly rod and enjoyed it even more.
