    Tools you love, cant live without!

    yeah I am used to it. I carried SOGs for the 10 years before that with a buck locking blade, so technically the surge feels lighter, till I roll over on it trying to figure something out, then I question my life choices that in my mid to late fifties I still carry it ALL THE DAMN TIME! I...

    Tools you love, cant live without!

    I have been carrying a surge on my belt for the last 10 years at least. I find it so useful, I have he full bit kit as well in the sheath (which I am on my fourth one, the webbing one holds up much better then the leather ones did, go figure)

    What is your favorite Go-To knife for overlanding.

    I carry a Leatherman surge, and have for almost a decade now. Its heavy but its been so handy. Before that I had a few different SOG multitools. When camping I have a old pilots survival knife a friend gave me close to 20 years ago .

    OB Watches

    Morning, here is what I have been wearing the last year I picked up a Garmin Fenix 6X. I put a Hemsut strap on it. I love it for all it does , and hate it for a similar reason. I choose to go to a smart watch to keep a eye on my blood ox and ticker. Not that I have anything wrong but being in my...

    Nobo 16.5 axle advice needed

    So, I do all my own work. I have done repairs that probably should have been warranty work, but the time frame they gave me was our entire camping season. I too have a delam in the front turned out the leak was caused by the awning flexing. the big problem is, I owe to much to sell it and get...

    Nobo 16.5 axle advice needed

    Well a short update. First the axle is readily available. so much for what dealership told me. secondly it may actually be covered by a lippert warranty. If not I am really considering long leafs and a straight axle, with a shock of some kind. Apparently this a regular failure point on Rpods...
