A couple of other common items I like to keep in the kit are a roll of paper towel for general cleanup and Kotex. They were originally developed as wound dressings.

Overlanding with animals???? I try and leave the grand kids home.:tonguewink:

I was an EMT in a previous life. I carry an extensive kit. The one thing I have found very handy to carry is a couple of bottles of water in my kit. I also carry a squirt top. Many injuries I have dealt with in the middle of nowhere entail a messy dirty wound. I like to have a way to flush...

Everybody says the economy is doing so great.....In my field (electrical engineering), wages dropped around 50% due to work being shipped over seas after 1999. My job has been outsourced several times. I am just now getting back to the rates I was getting 20 years ago yet housing and food...

Beware, many places like Costco will not mount tires on a vehicle with spacers.

I understand the issue. When I am working 60+ hours a week, I plan and shop for parts for my projects and put them on the shelf. Then when things get slow and money is tight, I have the parts to use to build. I play a game to try and get everything absolutely as cheap as possible or design it...

I'll never forget being out with my dad in -60F feeding the cattle with a team of horses and a sled. You can't start equipment that cold, so even today they still feed with a team of horses and a sled. We used to chop a hole in the river for the cattle to drink. It was not uncommon for the...

I apologize if this isn't the right place but I met another OB member which should promote me to II. Also, how do I get it to show on my details on posts? Here is confirmation of the meeting...

That I why I think they should seize any vehicle found without insurance and sell them off. Maybe that would make more people get insurance. Surprisingly enough, adding collision/comprehensive on my old Cherokee only adds around $20 a month. That will cover everything. Now on to the other...

If you look at the build thread, you will see I did one step beyond that.

It is mandatory. They simply don't get it.

I look at it like budgeting losses. I don't want to be out $20k if some a-hole steals it. It is worth 10 bucks a month for the piece of mind. Here in Colorado almost one third of all drivers don't have insurance. It may not be my fault but if they don't have insurance or assets, I am still...

I have done practically every other trail in Moab but this one over the last 20 years.

Boy that sound familiar. I grew up high in the mountains of Colorado on a ranch with 1000 head of cattle. I was on ski patrol and taught. I did a ton of mountain climbing and winter survival and rescue. I loved snowshoeing but after 16 orth surgeries and getting old, that is limited. I...

I am an engineer and with the changes in tech, many times I have to work contracts, both local (Front Range Colorado) or out of state. At the moment I am between jobs. I think I should have something settled in the next week or two and can plan a trip. I have been trying to set up a three...

Welcome. I would love to come visit but what we hear about the situation down there is tough. I have a co-worker who is from there and he sends food home to his family. How are you doing? Hope all is well. If you ever make it up north to Colorado, check in. I will kill the fatted calf and...

I can get along as long as I can make it where you can float a spoon in it. It is just right when you have to remember to blink.

That time of year is hit or miss. You could see 60 degree days or three feet of snow. Good luck. My bet is on Cold/Windy/with a chance of snow. Most people have stopped wheeling for the year.

Had a great time. There were probably 12-15 people. Great beer, good but pricey food. Got to meet a ton of folks and see what others are doing. There was a nice pickup there with a RTT. It was a nice name brand setup (can't remember). Met Josh, aka No Known Boundaries. Would have been...
