    Overlanding and CPAP

    Remember that with most, if not all, of the Resmed machines, you need a DC to DC converter if you're going to run off a battery. They run about $90. Insurance usually won't cover it or the battery. This is the one I use for my Aircurve 10: 37297 ResMed 10-Series DC adapter for AirSense 10...

    When I was bike racing we had a week-long stage race in Casper every year. It was always windy windy windy. The last year I competed there we had a criterium around the shopping mall on the last day. It was so windy that it was impossible to open the doors to the mall on the windward side of...

    Waterproofing the Plano Sportsman box

    In the large size bins, Plano has the 1919 and the 1819. The 1919 has the sturdy removable lid and I think it's the one you want if you are trying to weatherproof them. It also seems sturdier than the 1819, which has a hinged lid that is much thinner and doesn't have a channel that is...

    Making a meal out of nothing (or very little)...

    Of course. You won't even notice it after a couple, er, a few, some beers.

    Dispersed camping near White Sands NP?

    Weather for Cloudcroft next week has highs in the 50s and lows around freezing. That should put WSNP at high 60s maybe low 70s for highs. Pretty nice. Might get some wind.

    Dispersed camping near White Sands NP?

    Your best bet is probably up in the Sacramento Mountains and Lincoln National Forest east of Alamogordo. Lots of public land up there. There is a campground (Aguirre Springs) up in the Organ Mountains between WSNP and Las Cruces, too, but not sure about dispersed. WSNP is pretty much...
