Am I the only one wondering what the heck that yellow thing is flying in the sky, above and ro the right of the peak?

I keep saying that I want as little in the cab as possible, but "mission creep" sets in and before I know it, I want everything at my fingertips. Obviously on the highway its dangerous to have too much unsecured stuff in the cab, as it can fly around and injure passengers in an accident. This...

It most certainly does have a "bearing" (see what I did there?) on operation. Otherwise they would make them with bubbles on purpose. Any bubble can bump the needle away from north, by as much as the size of the bubble. As I mentioned earlier, being 1 to 5 degrees off can put you thousands of...

Took over 30-odd years before my old Silva Ranger developed a bubble, and that is only in very cold conditions. Still have it today and no bubble

Note, the one to the left has no bubble

UPDATE: On January 23rd this year, before I posted the comparisonabove, I did purchase two Brunton TruArc 5 compasses. I checked them for bubbles qhe I bought them, I wanted ti make sure they were good. Two of them. One of them I took out of the box long enough to set declination and attach...

Nice views! You got good weather out there. We were through there a week or two ago and it was foggy with snow mixed with rain. Those mountains are surreal

Well, that's a beautiful truck. Be a shame to scratch it all up on trails. Forgot to mention I like tha fact that Tahoe Yukon have the roof rack, where early blazers and all jeeps do not. I was gonna ask what tires those were. Thanks for mentioning. Are they noisy on the highway and how do...

Those Danners and Asolos look great. I've never owned a pair of either, but they are both on my list to try. I tend to stick with something if I like it, so that may be a while. Last fall, I found the Oboz Bridgers and they have been damn near everything I want, with very adjustable heel and...

Wish I'd have stopped there!

Just one man's long-winded opinion but here goes: I loved the old big Chevy Blazers and GMC Jimmy's (Sheriff Brody, Chief Hopper). By extension I have to like the Tahoe and Yukon as they are the closest relative to that. The 2007 -2013 Tahoe Yukon is a comfy platform with a lot of room. I have...

Gorgeous view!

Cant go wrong with A&W Rootbeer. Cant. Go. Wrong.

Under no circumstances would I ever recommend Buffalo Hills RV park and campground out by route 6 near the Ramada. We were looking for a spot on the fly and maybe didnt pay attention to reviews when we tried to book online. The guy who runs the place is a total douchebag. Gin blossomed ass hat...

We just drove through The northeastern part of Colorado early last week en route back to Boston. The North Sterling state park had an Inlet Grove (?) campground that was pleasant enough. Picnic tables and shelters just like they have in Badlands National Park. On a burm overlooking a lake. Can...

What is minimalism? Getting rid of the box because you dont need it? Or keeping the box so you dont need an intricate solution after throwing it away? I bought a set of metal/ speckled enamel camp dishes, bowls and cups. I stack them back in their original box and stash that in the bed of the...

Nice hitch carrier! Who makes it? I hadn't previously considered one since the truck is already 19 feet long and I thought I should be able to fit everything I need within that 19 feet. But these decisions are dynamic and I may reconsider. I've heard a lot of good about the Tundra, but never...

I could go back to the Black Hills and check out Custer State park, and head up to Spearfish Canyon. We were SO close to Devil's Tower as we made our way up the 212 through Wyo.ing into Montana, but we passed. I'd love to revisit the Grand Tetons. It was so cold and wet nobody else wanted to...
