Sorry. Couldn't resist

Will it be "Gatlinburg in mid-July, and I just hit town and my throat was dry..."?

I would love to learn some woodworking and do something like that.

Nice work!

I used to live on a 200 acre lake. I could just pull up at home after work and blast across the lake paddling hard, then take it easy on the way back.

I've been kayaking for almost 15 years. I have an old Wilderness Systems Pamlico 100 and an old Islander Swifty 9.5 (now done by Perception, I think). My old 1994 K1500 Blazer Silverado could take them flat, topside down, side by side on the roof rack. For my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I had two...

Ah, good point

Good thread. I should update my insurance since I just got my truck back from the body shop

Yes, sir this sounds about right. Renter's or homeowner's insurance for gear and tools. Photo and receipt documentation on bolt-on upgrades to the vehicle itself. Totally normal, totally advisable. Example: a hidden winch affixed in a bumper mount, you should document that to your vehicle...

That's good for a start, just to have an idea. If someone decides to squat or encroach, that wont be worth much in court. Or if the government decides they need to take something by eminent domain for a national park or pipeline. Get all the deed info in order, find out if there are any...

It's fun. I also remember my father telling us some of the (obvious?) tricks, like if you are lost, follow a river, they always lead to civilization at some point, or be watching for power lines (is you are not TOO far out) and follow those, little tips on how to get to civilization if you are...

Get some good, NEW topo maps. They will state the declination right on them as part of the legend. They should also have TWO north arrows, one for magnetic one for true. That way you can lay the compass down, line it all up, and turn the screw until the needle points to the true arrow. The you...

I want to agree with you on this. I have at least 2 G shock watches, one is an old GP100 and the new one is one of their new stainless steel line. Also, I have two old Mongoose mountain bikes. Kept in good condition they are as good as anything made today. Heavier, but smaller and more rugged...

By the way, that Ranger looks to be a nice tight little package. Between that and the Colorado, Toyota should be quaking in thier boots!

Beautiful pups! I second moving the fridge and generator to the bed of the truck. That's half the reason for mounting an RTT on a pickup. When driving, you and your wife occupy the front seats and the dogs occupy the back, so why not let the dogs sleep in the back? Kurgo makes an excellent...

@M Rose , seems like we could all benefit from any tutorial vids from you. This, or probably a wide range of subjects. Do you have some up on youtube or something?

On this all else depends. This declination adjustment changes a degree every 5 years or so. So, what I had my compass set to in 1985 is not going to be accurate today. I think in the Northeast we are already at about 20 degrees of declination, with true north being more west. If this is not...

I'm not sure how far back you bought it but congrats. You may want to have it surveyed and put a few markers into the ground

Yeah. I've had two of the Blazer versions. Same thing but 2 door and less rear overhang. Wish I still had them.

Nice stretch of land. And those old GMT400 series trucks sure do well, dont they?
