The good news there is, if you starve, at some point you quit soiling your underwear

While I may agree with the statement about the government just wanting to control things in general, in my experience they dont move on something until they perceive they have to. And, not being experts on some subject, they defer to those experts. In this case, that means some organization such...

I contend that "re-fried beans" would not exist today if the microwave had been invented 500 years ago

Please, please, please God, blast some sense into the heads of those at Chevy and make them bring back a Blazer to be proud of. What a waste that the 50th anniversary of the Blazer was marked with a Nissan Murano-esque ride. I digress... I like what they did with the new Bronco a lot. Knocked...

If you see what's going on at Gallatin Gateway Island, an island in a river that a developer wants to turn into a "glamping" retreat. In order to do so, he wants to drill under the river and to the island in order to get electrical and plumbing utilities installed. The island is a flood zone as...

"If you dont like the weather in New England, wait a minute." Maybe a better quote is "like the Rabbi said the delivery room: 'it won't be long now...'" or monkey see monkey do. I worry that what happens in one place, will soon happen in another.

Funny, your first paragraph. I was family car camping with a friend's family this past summer. Two separate sites on the same grounds, right near each other. We usually have 4 couples and all the kids on 3 or 4 sites. Anyway I wanted to sort of dry run sleeping in the bed of mypickup, under the...

COVID, of course. Lord almighty that's a lot of heavy lifting you are doing. I wish you all the power to do it

God love you, you're doing His work. Try to be patient. You wont get to do this over, and her confusion is not her fault. In terms of the finances - and you may have looked at everything already - but often a Homestead and an Irrevocable Trust of some kind can help. In Boston there's the...

Nice. I kind of do the same. I keep an old, plasti-formed 90-something piece Craftsman tool set with the truck under the rear seat, along with a fleece, a raincoat, an extra pair of boots, extra hat and gloves and some other stuff. I was keeping everything I needed in the diamond deck toolbox...

Something interesting coming down the pike...

I have a small batter tender a can plug into a power socket in the garage /barn, but my 99 Jeep GC is parked too far for it to reach and I havent successfully started it in months...fail. I'm having too much fun riding in my 14 GMC Sierra so I havent bothered with it

I would hope that if those RV park owners could band together and generate that type of lobbying, that hikers, campers, overlanders outnumber them vastly and can somehow band together and generate our own clout!

Read this and wondered if anyone knew anything about it...

They must all be well fed enough then maybe? I know that dogs will typically cause coyotes to avoid an area but hungry ones coming in packs are relentless and even cleverly devious

Out east here, there are wolves, there are coyotes, and there are hybrids. The two have mated in areas where one population or the other was under pressure

MidOH, What makes you say a choc lab has nothing to worry about from coyotes? A domestic Pit Bull (American Staffordshire) wouldn't stand much chance. I would respectfully disagree. It's not really a matter of size. Coyotes are known to take down deer. Those wild animals are driven for food to...

While not a Dodge Ram, I am driving a GMC Sierra. A friend has a 2 door Wrangler. It's cool and fun offroad but I'd rather be in my Sierra if I'm going any real distance, even compared to a 4 door Wrangler. I imagine the same might be true for the Bronco. So I'm making some changes to my Sierra...

I think the makers of real SUV's started putting the spares inside to keep the connecting hardware from rusting out. First, upright against a wheel well (Jeep ZJ) and then under the back cargo area (Jeep WJ). Upright against the wheelwell, you might still get it out without removing all the...

Um...the spare tire or the canoe? Heh heh. I'm not as much a fan of that either but to each thier own. The extra damage to other cars and people in the event of a road crash is probably why we havent seen a stock front spare tire mount since the 1970's. I'd be surprised if it was still legal
