We just spent a week in the San Juan mountains of Southwestern Colorado. I had both radios on (Midland GMRS MXT275 & Yaesu FTM 400XDR).I did not hear 1 other person talking on the Ham frequency of 146.460 the entire week. On the GMRS it did not matter what channel I was a on, we had chatter on...
Exactly - what he said. I use my ham so that my wife will always know where I am located and I use the GMRS to keep in touch with others while out on the trails. I would like to use my ham radio more but the people that I ride with have not made the jump into ham yet.
Since cargo capacity is not really an issue for you - buy your fridge and then go get a 10x10 ezup awning to use until you can purchase one of those fancy awnings that will not get used every time that you go out in your truck. The fridge will get used every time and ice cold food and drinks...
I prefer propane cooking stoves with 2 burners while camping. I carry a 5lb tank to cook with and do not have to worry about running out of fuel when I go camping for the weekend or for a full week. I also like carrying 1 5lb bottle more than 5 little bottles and having them rolling around or...
I love my ViAir 400P. Works great and is much cheaper than the ARB. I would not mount an air compressor under the hood of any vehicle - too much heat, dust, moisture and vibration when mounted under the hood and I have heard of so many failures of those under the hood vs mounted under the seat...
I have an Overlander and I prefer it to Gaia when I go out and explore. You can't really do that with Gaia if you didn't download the area map before you left the house. I like that Gaia is easier to download map files, but don't like that it takes so long to do so and eats up your memory on the...
Like you said - not completely accurate. When I open the door to my JK the sticker reads 4 passenger/ 700lbs cargo capacity. As long as I do not exceed the 700 lbs my JK should not squat. the suspension was designed to hold 700lbs and stay at stock height.
Garmin Overlander has a complete North America map loaded in the unit. It will take you anywhere that you want to go here in the USA. Gaia will only take you where you have downloaded maps of the regions that you want to travel to.
We went camping up in Sedona last month with 5 Jeepers. 3 of them slept inside the Jeeps and the other 2 slept in their tents. The tent people were very comfortable and the Jeep people woke everyone up every time they turned their Jeeps on to warm themselves up. It was 28 degrees that night on...
You do realize that sleeping inside a metal box is colder than sleeping inside a fabric one. Vehicles retain the cold much longer than the fabric does.
Here is the box that I built. It has room underneath it to fit a Walmart folding outdoor table and more nick nacks. The lower right cubby will hold a 5 gallon water tank and all of my tools. The top rigjt holds my stove and camping utensils. I mounted a 5 lb propane bottle to the spare tire...
Luckily, here in AZ we don't get much rain so your scenario doesn't happen that often. I like to adventure deep off road and the trails get very off camber and I hate the tipsiness of the higher center of gravity.
That is a very cool tent. Like you I chose a ground tent to use for camping. I chose the Oztent and it rides up on the roof of my JK as well. The other reason and main one for my wife is the fact that we can stand up inside the tent to get dressed and or to move around. I also like the front...
Has anyone watch on youtube - project farm? He does a comparison with various jump starters. I chose the Audew brand after watching it beat the noco brand.
