I'd have to say, yes, sometimes the Columbia PFG gets a little smelly. The LL Bean is a slightly heavier shirt but is still breathable. Craghopper, I've never tried and only ever seen them a couple of years ago up in North Conway NH. Wasn't sure if THEY were a knockoff until I looked them up...

Ya, MidOH. I guess ya dont know. Yeah I am wading into a swamp with $25 Darn Tough socks on. Yes. Because it's not just the cost factor. It's the quality of the item (materials and manufacturing) and in this case, the quality is what makes it wick better, dry better, rinse better, cushier...

As Jimmy mentions about if you cant wear an item more than one way you probably shouldn't bring it... Something like Columbia PFG or L. L. Bean's Tropicwear shirts can be had in short or long sleeves, but the long sleeves can be rolled up and buttoned so they stay up above your elbow...

Don't forget to bring a towel! @oldsoldier181 makes some good points, starting with "are you alone and dont care" about offending others with odor. Packing lighter like @jimmyjamson is a dream of mine, I'm working towards it, and am pretty sure following what @Alanymarce does will keep you in...

Ok, but, see, the same term does not really apply to those same two things. It just doesn't, although some would like to pretend they do. One is car camping. The other is more of an expedition. And theres road trips. Yes I think you are correct - the blurring of those lines is the let-down...

Guys, to quote someone famous: "Cmon, man!" It's easy to misread tone in what amounts to a text message. Some are obvious, sure, but I think the more we try to give "the other guy" the benefit of the doubt when it comes to a question of tone, the better off the place will be. I'm at both here...

Specifically Jeep and older Jeep? Try Crown Automotive. Big Jeep parts supplier.

Dad?!

I dunno...that windshield Easter egg pic of the Jeep being attacked by the ATAT...should be being approached by the Jawa Sand Crawler (sorry, my last Jeep was a 99WJ, and it took a LOT)

Ah, the venerable ZJ. A pleasure to see one any time, especially "out and about."

Even up here in New England I hear conversation over CB regularly. Daily. But that is usually when I am nearing some sort of intermodal center, trucking hub, or whatnot, but I do hear conversation around the I-90 and route 2 E-W corridors daily. I do NOT hear much at all in the greater Boston...

As always, real world insight from a couple who have "been there". Just to be clear here, are you talking about the Michelin Defender LTX, or the LTX A/T (2?). Also, very interesting comment on the Yokohamas. Though you recommend the Toyo Open Country, how would you compare them to Michelin...

I have two old ones, like 15 years. 10 foot Wilderness Systems Pamlico 100 in orange and a 9.5 foot Islander Swifty. Theyve been through the wringer, and I've even repaired holes in both of them with a heat gun and a shredded frisbee. They keep on going, though this year or next might be...

Rusted frame took my last Big Blazer...shoulda done what you just did

Are you saying that KO2 and 3's, certain types of Wranglers, and WildPeaks, and such - which continue to sell like mad as the industry standard AT's - are themselves obsolete, or are you thinking, no matter what they call themselves (AT's), they are really RT's by another name?

Is the Rubitrek a slightly more tame tire than the Wildpeaks? Something a little more polite on-road if slightly less capable than the Wildpeaks off road?

Bob Seger. Johnny Cash. Any of the Outlaws, really. Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The Planets. Santana. All the driving songs you can think of like Radar Love and Twilight Zone and many many others. Add to that some film scores. Because with some of the stunning and striking sights that I've...

You mention a GMT1500 Blazer. Easier to find would be the GMT400 series('87-'99), or GMT800 series (taking you to 2006) Tahoe or Yukon. Maybe even the Suburban or Yukon XL. 4 doors. That second row of doors could fit more people, or fold the back seats down to load more cargo or help tug...

Have a GMC Sierra, daily driver. Mild mods but more I want to do. But. It. Drinks! So then I thought I'd add a Subaru Forester to the mix as the daily driver for better economy and the legendary AWD. Keep the Sierra for weekend duty. Haven't squeezed the trigger on a Forester yet because we...

Are we going to see little Jawas or Tuskens stenciled on the side, denoting number "bagged"? Wamp rats, maybe?
