When camping I use a press. I don't remeber what mine is got it as a gift probably 13yrs ago. Been using it eversince. Used to use a percolator but the press works great for me. It will make 2 cups and fill my tumbler and off i go. As for my coffee i keep it in an old small i think it was...
My go to boot is 5.11's evo series. I have had a couple now and no complaints with any of them. Also used them for work when I was still running a route and would be on my feet for 10 hours or longer with no major fatigue. Price point not bad either. For those who like tactical style boots they...
Friends and I use midland gxt1000 series frs/gmrs hand helda. I got thw gxt1030 mostly for the yellow so when i drop it (as i do) I can find it lol. Since my group has moved from cb to gmrs it is really nice to have a handheld for spotting and what not. Also great for base camp coms with kids...
Try plugging in an external speaker. A friend had the same problem turns out on his the onboard speaker was messed up. He didnt mind at that point since he planned to run the external speaker anyways.

I recently got the mxt115 and working on installing it now. Really like the radio and mic has a nice feel to it. But i will say thay when purchasing I went into it as i was buying a $150 radio and getting a free antenna. Boy am I glad I set low expectations lol. Pretty weak magnet anf 19ft of...
Hey guys. Been away from the forum for a while (boy life can throw some nasty curve balls altho I was never good at hitting sliders much either lol). I had originally planned on building my grandfathers 2wd f150 but plans were altered as the motor let go at a young 110k (never much of a ford guy...
glad to hear the 2' is workin for ya. 1.9 swr not horrible and defiantly livable( the lower the better but you are not in damaging your radio range). As for channels go not to sure, we usually just find an empty channel and use it. If we are trying to find other people then we will either scan...
" Im planning on mounting the antenna in the opposite ditch that my regular antenna sits." Am I correct in assuming that this means fender mount on drivers side?
If this is the case. 1) make sure that what ever antenna you go with is a NGP (no ground plane) antenna. This will help with your...
Good to know. I actually sourced a cheap dual band antenna with way more cable then needed. I plan to shorten the cable and mount in attic. Wasn't planning on getting an antenna yet but when its 15 bucks for the antenna cable and adaptor for a ht at a garage sale couldn't pass it up.
What kind of distance have you been getting out of it. I want to get a mobile rig but to get started and talking with nearby friends ( within 40 miles ) i only need to hit the repeater that is about 1.5 miles away. Just curious on how its been working for you.
I personally would go steel. I also have had both in the past. Actually truck came with one and ended up trading for a steel one. The truck got used a lot empty so the aluminum bed was too light. I did wheel with both and i really didn't notice much difference. I did notice the weight but since...
Well at least you had shade during the problem. Im sure the added shade made things go smoother. Or at least keep you a bit less agitated while figuring out a game plan.
I will always have a cb. For me its the minimum. I do plan on getting my license to be a ham operator but will still have a cb. Cbs are generally cheaper and easier to get into (with my experience) so that's usually the way people tend to go at first. You don't have the range with cb as with ham...
One thing i would look into would be a custom/ lift leaf pack instead of just using lift blocks. I personally like deaver springs. I had a set made for my 01 2500 that i wheeled alot. I loved the pack they built for it and was very reasonable price point as well. I ran a lift block in the rear...
