    Come-along or winch?

    So now that I have cast profound aspersions on come-alongs let me explain a little. A cable come along is going to have a maximum line pull distance of 4 to 6 feet, meaning that once you get to where you are going to need it and deploy it, unless that minuscule pull distance is going to get you...

    Come-along or winch?

    I've used come-alongs to load disabled vehicles onto trailers. I'm a reasonably articulate individual, but the words necessary to properly express the level of suck that is embodied in inexpensive come-alongs escapes me entirely. You can buy a 2500lb atv winch for less than $75 (I don't know...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Colt recognizes their position in the consumer market and is adjusting production accordingly. It really is as simple as that. $400 will buy/build an AR and that fits the budget of a huge segment of the AR market (who will do nothing more than post pics of it on the internet and maybe run a...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Fake news, Colt is suspending production to the civilian market to free up manufacturing resources to fill government contracts. And the dipshit from RSR that leaked the email that started this debacle is unemployed.

    Goodyear Trailrunner AT ?

    What my tire industry eyeballs see in that picture: Tight tread design with an open shoulder What I would expect as a result: Excellent wet and dry traction Tread packing with any kind of loose or wet material (snow or mud) rendering it largely useless Resistant to irregular wear in all but the...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I kinda prefer to have my guns in my possession, in the event I actually need one. I'll be fine with what Canada allows, and I'll just leave a handgun or two in AK.

    When do you replace a spare?

    Pretty well accepted in the tire industry that the failure rate increases exponentially at about 5 years. When a tire is built, bonds are created (forced) between dissimilar materials. Those bonds begin to degrade at the moment they are created, and will continue to do so for life. There are...

    Recovery Board Color: What are your preferred Color Choices?

    Relevant /irrelevant maybe, but I could see an advantage in using a recognized emergency color(orange) in the event that they could possibly be used for emergency signaling in dire circumstances.

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    I don't think he is specifically referring to people in this thread, or even the over landing community. Elitists come in all shapes and sizes, but it you want to find "minimalist elitists" look to the ultralight backpacking community for some of the best examples you will ever see.
