I received mine about two weeks ago, haven’t had a chance to use it yet. It seems well made, I have a hard time closing it all the way, but it gets there. I wonder about going down the toad, the side that opens seems not to seal really well, but only time and a rain storm will tell.

I have had this for long time. A friend who spends a lot of time off the grid told me about and I know a few hikers who use it. Since I have had this for a while and it has worked perfectly for me, I haven’t looked into and I don’t know anything about the other stuff that people are using I...

I use paper and electronics maps. When planning a trip I use GAIA on my laptop which transfers to my iPhone and iPad. I plan the route and then I also down load the areas around the route. After that I get out my paper maps and look at the route on them to be sure they are there. I carry the...

I think you’re good, going camping doesn’t mean not being comfortable, for me it’s getting away. I like my fridge/freezer and not needing to worry about ice for the cooler after days or miles, now ice is a ball frozen for drink. Water for me is still out of Jerry cans, the bathroom is a bag...

yes and plain aspirin can help if you want to use it. Altitude sickness will start around 9000 ft and above. if your above 10,000 ft for more than 30 minutes without added oxygen and you start getting a headache, you're starting to get sick. The no longer than 30 mins above 10,000 ft is an...

Working on getting ready. Dont know if I will be there, but trying.

I have been thinking of doing this to my trailer, as I start to redo the inside, thought it would be great to add in some water. I think i have a UP TO of 3’ wide by 5’ long and 3-5” high area I could use, but I want baffles to keep water from sloshing around. Haven’t found the tank I am...

I have a 7 year old ARB 50qt and it’s been great. On my Alaska trips I use that with a 65 qt Yeti and have everything we need for 3-4 people. I hate getting ice for the yeti on longer trips, it sits in the sun and on the trailer so the water build up moves around a lot and melts the ice quicker...

Always a smoke when out camping

I overland to where I want to go and see the things I want to see

this will be interesting for me. I weight my truck and trailer without the camping storage box on it and the truck is stock, nothing really done to it. 2020 Tacoma TRD OffRoad 5240lbs. full tank and some little stuff in it. Trailer starting out is 480lbs, weighted it a few years ago, fully...

For heated seats are a must anymore. When I was 25 I landed on a tree stump during a skiing mishap, so there are times that my back hurts just from seating wrong, lifting stuff that day, not getting a good nights sleep. I do a lot of long trips and if my back starts hurting the heated seats...

On my second trip through Canada going to to Alaska, I didn’t want the hassle of dealing with the Canadian boarder patrol, so I left my guns at home and that was my introduction to carried bear spray in case of an attack. I did a lot of reading and everyone had a can to carry with them. My...

My thinking also.

@M Rose is correct. My gun is a Glock 32 and shoot Sig357 or I should say a 357sig bullets, guess I could of been clearer about that.. The 357sig bullet was designed to replace the 357Mag to allow State Troopers to carry semi automatic hand guns. It has a very high velocity coming out of the...

By a accidental self test, I am telling you it will. My eyes burned for a couple hours and I coughed for 30 mins from an indirect contact, 30 mins after the initial spray. let me edit this to say, from my experience, I would not wanted to be sprayed with bear spray

Bear spray will work on 2 legged critters. In some places it is illegal to use on humans, but if it means I can walk away, I would use it. I know because on an Alaskan trip, my sister wanted to know how to use it. We walked down wind about 50 yards from the camp site, I did the wet finger test...

I would love a hybrid, wish my new Tacoma was one, but not a fully electric vehicle right now, just not enough quick chargers where I live, they are putting more in. I live in the mountains of Colorado, about 3 years ago, took a drive about 2 hours from home to have lunch and break from working...

I have only see a couple in my day, both where occupied by watchers, one many years ago in Washington state and about 2019 in the Gaia of south central NM.

I have a Warn Zeon 10S, for me it was that or the Comeup 9.5. I ended up with the Warn because I got it on sale around Christmas 7 years ago. I had it on my JKUR and then when I mounted it to the GX470’s new bumper 3 years ago, I had to do a relocation for the controls and the Warn has that...
