    Tepui Tent Poll!

    Bought my Tepui tent used (Kukenam Sky) for $900. Drove a long way to pick it up but I did the math and the used price was right. This tent had already been used by the previous owner for a trip out west for many days and had gone from Indiana to the California Highway 1 and back for weeks...

    Tacoma TPMS and second set of rims

    I'm sorry I can't answer your question directly, however I wanted to say that black Moleskin is an excellent adhesive cover for the light. Because it is not gloss like Gorilla tape or other equivalent tape, it is almost entirely invisible on the instrument panel during the day. It looks far...

    Forester XT build - Overland/Bugout

    Definitely go for the full sized spare. I was 40 minutes into a national forest last week when I tore a sidewall. Full sized spare, the correct tools and 15 minutes and I was back on the trails. It's really not optional as far as I'm concerned. Great build, keep up the good work!

    Water Purification whats your method

    My exact current setup and thoughts exactly. I do also carry a lifestraw because I'm a gear addict and I love redundancy.

    Sourcing firewood

    Gas stations, Wal Mart, even some grocery stores will sell it. It's usually not quality hardwood and burns fast though. If you're dispersed camping best bet is to bring in only one package of bought wood for the first night if you roll in late and all the rest you earn in the forest the...

    Colorado Springs, Trail Time

    Currently in Colorado Springs. Looking to do some trails / routes around the area Thursday onward. Open time table for about a week or possibly more here. I'm not in a rock crawler but the lifted Forester continues to surprise me. CB, FRS/GMRS for comms, full recovery kit including...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Replaced faulty oil pressure switch and got my new G015 A/T in the mail (tore a sidewall on the dead one). Tomorrow is mount, balance, rebalance all existing tires, alignment and then hit the trails in CO.

    Campground or Boondock?

    Dispersed camping 100% now. I'm done with commercial campgrounds unless I'm in an unknown area and arrive at night. If we stay we just pack up as soon as we wake and leave. A lot of camp showers are vile and not even worth it. Wife and I have resorted to paying for a $50-70 motel when required...

    What do you use to store all your gear?

    I can't say enough good things about MTM cases. Available at Cabella's or Amazon, they are lightweight, very well designed, very water resistant, designed to stack and also designed to be able to be tied down and the AC4C ammo cans are easy to reorganize in the field if you find you're using...

    Airing down.

    First thing I do when I hit a trailhead is air down. Comfort alone is worth the time for me and I don't know what's ahead. It can get nasty fast. Also, riding street pressures on washboard roads is tantamount to torture. All the other benefits, like puncture resistance and increased traction /...

    Dirty (Camp) Sites - share your findings

    I have picked up so much trash before and bagged and roped it (canopies) that I couldn't even carry other people's junk out with me for lack of space. I just pile it in an obvious spot next to the forest road hoping someone with a pickup will finish what I started. I do want a truck one day...

    Help with winter camping

    1. If you are storing small amounts of water it will freeze overnight. Ask me how I know... Try to insulate it somehow so you have liquid water to drink when you wake. Or leave it in the car not the tent. 2. If you do decide to do dishes bring extra propane, heat some water on the stove and use...
