Before my RTT I was running a 6 man ground tent (for two or three of us) with cots. If I ever got rid of my RTT that’s what I’d go back to.

I’m a hat guy. 99% of the time I’m wearing some kind of (tactical) baseball hat...subdued color, Velcro patch and no button on top. And there is an art to fitting and forming a new hat. For years that has resulted in a battle between the brim of the hat and sunglasses. Last year I discovered...

I am not a fan of inflatable mattress. I’ve never found them to be comfortable.

We moved to NW Arkansas in December and I’ve been busy taking care of some of the issues on the property. One that I’d been putting off was a 60’ black walnut tree at the end of the drive that was dead or dying. A larger black walnut next to it had come down a few years prior and took out the...

Seems to be an Arkansas thing going on...I just relocated to Gravette but the vegasjeepguy screen name is staying.

Household goods arrived early Juanuary. Finally started to get the shop together.

Road trip to Seattle.
