Hard to beat down for weight/bulk to warmth ratio. Nice comforters can get expensive. The 650 - 850? fill power rating usually gets the job done. If there are concerns about the conditions (wet) there are synthetic alternatives. They just don't compress as well...

I had the distinct pleasure to meet and spend a night near Dubois, WY., at the invitation of Mark, aka @Trout Bumming , at his beautiful estate back in early August. Mark was a wonderful host and interesting fellow. His extensive knowledge of all things Wyoming, and much of the West's wildlife...

I can only think of one thing worser. The RV parks right next to the interstate with zero shade. I suppose if one is in transit and not going outside anyway you do what you must. Living in the East I have become accustomed to trees and shade. With my RTT getting far away from noise and people...

He's right you know!

Had to delete some to send first message. My cell #803 429 9478 text me so we can coordinate. Excited to see some more of that country and meet another fisherman!

Printing Maps at this moment. Union Gap Rd. goes a long way to Green River. You might have to come find me!! Yes, let's fish. I am planning to leave here around the 24th and head towards Colorado to hit a few spots then up to Wyoming sometime after the 1st. I was going to hit a spot on the...

I really starting to think I need one. Do they make one that will disperse bear spray?? I'm in! I could run up around the bend and see what the water looks like without having to walk through the brush and boulders for twenty minutes. Sounds like an old man's dream! Then, I need to find a...

Dang, I'd call that modified cowboy coffee! I probably use too many beans cause I like it skrong but I only pour over with 195 degree filtered water from a special spring in the Pyrenees (LOL, JK.) No soaking the grounds in boiling water before filtering through drip. Well, that's what a press...

If you can make it to auto parts store many will lend you tools. Especially one that aren't that common like torque wrenches or other specialty tools.

I do see your point. I think it's more likely to be fixing on someone else's stuff than mine. I sure do like my big old vice grips. They sometimes come in handy for somethings. I do leave my ball-peen but I couldn't leave my socket set. Like recovery gear, better to have it and not need it...

Prices have gone up, surprise! They are reusable and probably get better with age. Just a shade off in flavor compared to my metal screen pour-over but very camp friendly as they are easy to clean. Dump the grinds let dry and shake out the rest. Or, rinse as you see fit. There are others to...

So, I like one really big cup in the morning. Is there a limit on the amount of grounds one can put in the unit? They mentioned six ounces of coffee in two minutes. Who drinks six oz. of coffee? Love my pour over screen but is a little bulky and somewhat hard to clean...uses too much water...

Gorilla Tape is the one thing I seem to use the most. My tool box is way too heavy but it helps me sleep better.

Whoa, that is a little disturbing. I have had other tires to fail but there was some warning usually. 3 yrs. and only 10K miles sounds like it sat a lot. I have known of tires to absorb some moisture while in contact with the ground or even pavement for long periods in one spot. The moisture...

Better than Spam! Don't hate me cause it's true. Haven't eaten any in quite a while but I remember fried gator tail as somewhere between chicken and pork chop but tougher.

Now that's overlanding!

Grizzly bears are fascinating to me ever since I stood next to that giant bear mounted in the Anchorage, AK airport. Could have been a Kodiak bear? But still, it is an awesome and powerful creature. From what I gather from much reading about the worst situation is to get between a mother and...

Bear?? I thought he said overlanding with BEER!

You would think there are things like mothballs or something that would repel bears? A nose full of chili powder like we put on shrubbery to repel the male dogs peeing on them? Haven't heard of anything yet but I'll keep looking. Well, there's the bear spray but that is an active deterrent...
