This is exactly why I bring this up. For many folks wire is just wire. The nuances are only obvious to those who are informed. I hope this helps inform some who will someday need to know the differences.

LOL! Love it.

Not all wire is equal. I loaned out my crimpers so a friend could re-do some wiring in his trailer. When he showed me his final work I suspect I broke his heart when I pointed out what type of wire he used vs. what type of wire he should have used. He used THHN (the sort you would get at the...

Nice work. I especially like the tripod arrangement. That was not initially in my plans, but I think you have been a bad influence. Now I am going to have to buy some more steel.

Love it. I am on the same path. Picked up a disc at the steel recyclying center a month or so ago. Have yet to scounge up the other pieces. Just a matter of time and being in the right place at the right time.

It doesn't sound like you are interested in driving as far as southwestern Idaho, but if you are willing then send me a PM. I could help.

Do you mean I need to think about it before I ask? That's no fun. :yum:

I hate to break this to you, but overlanding and fuel economy are kind of mutually exclusive. If you want fuel economy look into a motorcycle and learn to travel light.

Of all the potential Overland Bound products, that should be at the top of the list. I would buy one. ETA: It should come as part of the sign-up package. However, to do it correctly, the grammar should be fixed. It should read "I wish it were faster too." So few people understand the use...

Now that deserves points just for style.

No wonder you are always looking for a kid. I can easily imagine how you need your own SAR team. My hat is off to you for taking on such a challenge. You have been blessed with many arrows in your quiver.

You need a dog. Particularly a dog of the shepherd flavor. When I don't know where a Varmint is, all I have to do is pay attention to where the dogs are paying attention. Then I know which way to go.

Nice job putting that together. Looking at the list in that fashion I am struck by the fact that of the top 25, those that are not also on the "dangerous list" appear to be much closer to population centers than those that are on the "dangerous list".

So very true. I was at a conference where the keynote speaker was an Oklahoma native, presenting to a bunch of us Kalifornians. The speaker noted that back in the '30s a bunch of folks packed up and moved from Oklahoma to Kalifornia (overlanders?), thereby increasing the average IQ in both...

The gene pool needs a bit of chlorine every now and then.

Hmm... Another thought about those parks: Those are all in the west. I wonder who are the victims? Folks from the east perhaps? Could it be that street smarts are of no use whatsoever once some folks leave the safety of their cities?

If you were to assemble a list of National Parks ranked by numbers of visitors per year I suspect it would correlate well with a list of the parks ranked by danger. I just try to stay away from people.

Gaa!! Not one of those evil things. If that wasn't developed by the Marquis de Sade himself then it was a close relative. Just as a drill press is great for snatching items out of your hand and whipping them right back into your hand that device is great for relocating a thistle right onto...

Thank you. EMT gets no love, but it can be handy stuff.

Sadly, as one might fear regarding an unnaturally large rack, it's not real. Here is today's progress: The upper part is 10 year old PVC. Originally the entire thing was PVC, but it developed some failures this past year. I think the EMT will hold up better. I need to pick up a handful of...
