I'm in, Im military so I sometimes lose weekends without much notice, but I'll bring the two sons and we'll come out if at all possible.

I'm in Austin as well, I've never even considered fly fishing Brushy Creek, where are you throwing that line at? I ride the mountain bike out there a lot, and that picture of my Son was actually taken there. Over by the rail trestle, we saw a lot of smaller fish hanging out in the shallows and I...

I've got a small one I use to charge a battery pack, basically I leave it on the roof of the truck all day charging the pack, and then I can charge my phone and camera at night off the battery pack. So far so good.

This is a common topic on some of the forums, ( Hot Water Systems ) I'm personally a fan of the Helton Hot water Exchanger, (Cruiser Outfitters Sells full kits, I don't THINK Curt advertises here, YET....) but basically it fits under the hood, uses the block heat to warm water in one or two...

Chris, Where in Central Texas are you throwing line? I would assume the Guadalupe, however lately... not so much. I've done some fly fishing up in Wyoming, Colorado, etc but mostly in Laguna Madre down south. I've often considered hitting up the Guadalupe and such, I just haven't done it. My...

We use "the cover of darkness". Its more fun that way.

Mark, Funny you say that, I'm re stocking the truck set with Kobalt as we speak. Ironically, since I posted this, I've gotten no less than 8 emails from "the Craftsman Club" encouraging me to take advantage of sales, etc.

So I'm a little curious, is anyone else seeing a kind of quantum, shift in the tool business? I ask because I used to see Sears and Craftsman as kind of the moderately priced upper middle of the road for tools, and Snap-On/MAC/Facom as the upper end. I still seek out Snap-On for your more...

I chewed on the ST Maxx too when I got mine, but here in Texas, I do more time on the highways than I want to, so I opted for the AT instead. Cooper is doing good things across the board, you can do worse for sure.

I've put a lot of thought into this too, and I concur that the skills are arguably more important than the equipment, though one goes close in hand with the other. Having spent my life in the Army I have recieved some of the very best austere environment trauma training there is, however I...

Im in. I know the military guys here can send some cool banner pics from the A-Stan.

So just for everyone's info, the Cooper's I just replaced my Falkens with measure 32.8 inches tall, 11.1 inches wide when mounted. They weigh spot on 51 lbs each. They are 285/75R16 Cooper 126R E1 ATPs Bearings and Tires by Dave Hunter, on Flickr Bearings and Tires by Dave Hunter, on Flickr

This is my story exactly. I found that the basics of that video touched on something we talked about a lot too. Part of why I have my rig, a lot of places we go we could make it to in my wife's enclave, but we keep the rig basically packed, and ready to roll, so we can, on a whim, hit the hill...

two non stick skillets, a BIG cast iron Dutch oven, a large flat griddle, and soon a Skottle. We use a Camp Chef Pinoeer 14" 2 burner and its various accessories for most of our cooking, but we figure the Skottle will the place of that (the way we cook anyway) about 75% of the time.

I'll tell you, I hear what you say about non stick, but in MUCH experimenting, we use some cheap chefs non stick skillets (a 10inch,a nd 12inch) purchased for 19.00 from a kitchen supply store. We use the same ones at home as in the field kit. We've gone through all kinds of pans, and we still...

Black baby, like my soul.

I dig your truck a lot, looks like you need Heavies in the back huh?

I love that Coleman 2 burner. My setup is actually not very different from yours.

Oldcolemanparts.com sells just about everything, however, almost anything that can be considered a wear item is still available through Coleman. Sometimes you have to lay some games figuring out new models that use say, a 30 year old burner design, but almost everything is out there.
