    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I actually just got this cooler tonight so I haven't used it. Price was actually pretty good when compared to a Yeti, or the like. I think the 62qt was $49.95? most the reviews say it'll keep ice solid for a solid 5 days in 90 degrees. I'll let you know how well it fairs when I give it a...

    How to Start a Fire - Collected Wisdom

    I mentioned this at the Heart of Texas Off Road Club Bonfire run this last weekend. I was met with disbelief. So I tossed three or four into the fire, and people were amazed at how much heat was added, and how big the flare up was.

    FT-7900R is an excellent choice. I'd like to get one for my desk here at home. Looking at an FT-2900R to turn into a dedicated APRS station too.

    72h Bag - Go/Deploy kit

    I tried out the Mountain house Biscuits & Gravy on Saturday morning. I think it takes a bit longer than 4min + 4min + 8min to make the biscuits not taste like crackers, but I enjoyed it anyway. :)

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Unfortunately it appears I can only link one remote to the receiver at a time which kills my plans, at least for now. I had planned on taking my second remote, and building a custom panel that I'd mount to the truck. I was then going to attach it to the truck's battery at which point it's part...

    72h Bag - Go/Deploy kit

    I grew up outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and then spent 11 years in Indianapolis so I can relate to this. We had tornadoes, but they are usually very localized with regards to damage. We got proper snow storms, but the state had enough equipment to clear most of the important roads in only a...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I started to wire up my rock lights. The Passenger's side is almost done, I just need to complete soldering connections, and pulling the lead across to the driver's side. Sorry for the Potato quality photos. It was intentionally dark, and my iPhone didn't like that much.
