Like Grubworm said, hard to feel the vibe without being there. That said, was he waving you away or waving you down for help? Was he pounding on your car because he was Ted Bundy or was he pissed you didn't stop and help and he had been stuck there overnight and lost his keys on his "hike"...
I dunno, having something fast does have it's advantages, for me though they are outweighed by a slower mode of transportation. Don't get me wrong the distances we have to travel out West to get somewhere nice and back are vast and time consuming. However once I get there I want to slow down and...
I tend to agree it works for the Moon, I do think the real winner is Offworlding, especially when Elon sends me to Mars........ As far as the International Space Station goes it puts a new meaning to Space Camp.

I just checked Nacimiento-Fergusson Road is still closed; Los Padres National...
I used to go into a nearby field and hunker down with my scope in the dark. Then my new interest in trail cams started to show nighttime visitors. Pic #3 is a bobcat to give a size relation to pic#4.
I can't answer your tow vehicle question. I can address the need for a winch though. I go to the desert and have been stuck. I've used a winch to pull myself out by both off a vehicle and my spare wheel buried in the ground with a stout steel bar behind it and the winchline going through the...
Years ago I bought a Sears Platinum AGM Marine battery(2012). It was around $250 then, exorbitant I thought at the time. 11 years later and it's still going strong. Mind you it is my only battery and doesn't run aux equipment. Though when I get around to putting in a dual system I'll try to go...
