Your math is flawed. Nonetheless, the lack of evenhandedness nationwide is because there has been zero guidance from the White House. I’m thinking it will be OK to attend large venues whenever the major sports venues open back up. I’m 67, in good health, my wife is 64 and in good health, I...

New Zealand had complete lockdown for 5 weeks. Covid 19 was obliterated. Their lives went back to normal. The Prime Minister of NZ just won re election in a landslide victory. So stop the nonsense about freedom and free will and think about your fellow man for a change. We, as a nation, are...

It’s way too early yet to even think about attending any events, let alone having any organizers thinking it is OK to put them on.

Interesting question. I see people towing giant trailers with small tow vehicles and think they’re nuts. Mine is rated at a little over 7,000 lbs towing capacity. I wouldn’t dream of even half of that because of the additional wear and tear on every suspension, drivetrain and steering...

We traversed the shafer road/trail 10 years ago, 7 years ago and two years ago. Because my wife loves me, and because she knew she’d not only be denying me the intense pleasure of the entire white rim trail, but denying herself that experience as well, overcame her fear of heights. Now she...

No not really. We only use about a gallon each to shower. My wife likes a rinse every day, I’m good for 3 days.. where we use it most is in the high deserts, by morning it’s completely dry. I also made a stand using 1x4 pressure treated. It’s about 2ftx2ft, plenty to stand on and stay out...

Yes, if I was able to keep it at 55-60 I might squeeze 14 out of it, fully loaded. Two years ago the head was off for new valve stem seals. The power went up and the mpgs went up from 10-11 to 12ish. Who did your motor? I’m at 326,000 and may be doing a new driveline as a PM in the next...

Toyota’s get horrible MPGs. Period. It’s not a priority for them. If one wants good mpgs get themselves a Prius. My 80 series, tank that it is, gets 12 mpg. averaging 65 mph. Loaded, empty, etc etc, that tractor engine doesn’t care and gets 12. Once I actually got 14mpg. driving around our...

Yea, I used to play a lot of street hoops in LA/Orange county as well as playing for Northrop Corp.. I was decked out in very common Adidas, floppy wool socks over tube socks, ratty old t shirt and old terry cloth shorts.. then, guys would show up with the 100 dollar shoes, silk warmups...

Actually, the price of good gear, tents, refrigerators, sleeping bags, cookware, etc etc, has actually come way down. Things that I didn’t even consider 10 -15 years ago now have a price point that is in my range. I’m not talking about junk, I’m talking the good stuff. The popularity of what...

Potato bottom is a very good campsite eh?

We've been using that model Coleman for decades. The first one lasted over 35 years. This new one probably will out live me. It has no problem supporting the weight of a 5 qt cast iron dutch oven. We have the gourmet cooking equipment for home use. On the road or at camp, we cook very...

"the way they drove" ? not sure what you mean by that as the entire video production was all a bit enhanced for dramatic effect. Some one actually suggested they call in a rescue team for the hikers? Really? One thing for certain though, adverse weather can happen any time any where. Be...

Nice images ; we’ve done the WRT twice, it is a really good first experience for anyone that wants to begin this lifestyle. I attempted reservations this year. At 12:00 mountain time I, having previously set everything up, had three keys to press. I got hung up somewhere and it took me 10...

I must comment on the 80 series. Thats a nice truck. I am, however just a bit prejudiced. Nice photos as well. We are headed that way the first week of October, so couple of questions if you don't mind. Must you camp in the group sites, or are there campsites here and there along the way...

Very true my friend. Our first couple of trips I spent way too much time behind cameras, setting the stage, filming, editing, etc etc. Work and dedication made our tours lot less fun. Hell I’m retired, what was I doing? I have another hobby/passion that I could easily turn into an eBay cottage...

When you admit your gas shocks didn’t last for 200k maybe I could take what you say seriously. thank you for proving my point and saying I’m a fool for buying nice suspension I know, I am really bummed every time I have to remove and replace things. Why, only last week I had to replace a 24...

You have a lot of research to do. Simply adding a small lift does not offset extra weight we’ve all added to our vehicles. Instead of looking for a “lift” be looking for upgraded spring rates. The Australians get it right, as there is Old Man Emu, Dobinson, and a couple others that market not...
