I have a regular soldering iron and a small coil of solder that live in the glovebox. Handy for minor electrical/lighting and nylon strap repairs on the trail. I just run mine off the vehicle inverter or the Jackery, but the battery top option is slick!

My encounters have almost exclusively been butterflies and field mice, but once in 2018 I was fueling up in the middle of nowhere and had a local show me his plaster cast of a footprint.

My buddy's birthday is in a couple days. I didn't know what else to get him, so I got him a weekend pass.

Cost of fuel vs cost of an additional vehicle and what it would take to make it comfortable and reliable, sticking with the truck is your best bet. Also, your MPG assumptions of the vehicles you don't have are very optimistic.

If you don't allow a tent to dry, it will mildew and stain. I've often set mine up at work after getting back from a trip.

A Dometic fridge fed from a Jackery 500 or better is the ideal setup for me.

That’s a shame! The Grabber X3s have been great, I just wonder if I bought more tire than I needed going with the MT. Sounds like I made the right choice!

The only reason the taxpayers suffer is because they are extorted by government to fund these parks, whether they visit or not. I would expect compulsory funding to also provide for occasional recoveries and grounds maintenance. I do agree that the only appropriate use of an area is responsible...

Any punishment must fit the crime. A crime requires an injured party. What crime do you think was committed here, Moak?

My EDC is a Leatherman Skeletool, but it's tough to beat the value of a Mora.

With the rooftop tent, I sure don't. Guess I'll stick with that.

I really want to try one of these, but I have no idea where I'd put a muddy, rain-soaked Gazelle in my rig when breaking down in a storm.

It goes inside. Should be one on each side so you have a hand hold for going up and down the ladder. I couldn't find any good pics, but you can see how the red strap is in my Smittlybilt.

The Facebook group has too many rules. I would expect you feel more welcome here.

I partially open a flap on the roof of the tent and place the heater accordingly. It keeps a hot spot from forming on the tent fabric, although I don't believe this is actually necessary. I also have a battery-powered fan I aim toward the heater to help disperse the heat into the tent. Also...

I leave my stuff ready all the time just because then I can head out any weekend I choose. Unloading is too much work.

I'll be around tomorrow afternoon, maybe Saturday some. I never did order a badge for the GX. Somewhere there's a smashed up voodoo blue FJ with it on the driver side.

I see both of my predictions were accurate lol

I will be visiting. Definitely not staying on site, but we'll probably check things out a couple different days.
