    Gaia/Garmin Overlander

    I have a 10 year old Garmin GPS that I am using for road nav less and less as I've not been able to update it. I tend to use Google maps more now, so I got Gaia Free a few months ago. Great map detail ! I downloaded a few GPX files in the New England area and took a couple tours. Of course Gaia...

    Anyone actually use back-up cameras?

    I have a backup camera in my 14 GMC Sierra. The lady has a backup camera AND the backup radar in her 13 GMC Terrain Denali. Personally, I find that between the two, the radar if more beneficial. There are circumstances of bright sun where the camera is bleached out - either through the lense or...

    Easy Chili Recipe

    Oooh. Touched on a nerve here my friend. I enjoy a good chili as much as the next man, but I have taken to selecting (dried) ancho and pasilla chilis, splitting them open, cleaning the seeds out and very finely chopping them before grinding half. I usually go with 2 lbs of Angus ground been...

    Favorite Mod/Upgrade for under $50

    No, I was not. Not at all. I've run the gamut...when I bought the truck it had a soft tonneau - first time I ever had one. I loked the look, and the fact it would hold in luggage and keep out (most of the ) water. But then i put in my diamond deck cross box, so i went with the net and used a...

    Radio

    I have a CB installed in my Sierra, and like them for weather if nothing else. I do still hear chatter, usually south of Pennsylvania. However I also keep 2 handheld GMRS radios in the truck as well. They also have weather monitoring, so if I want, I can keep the weather on one, and communicate...

    Favorite Mod/Upgrade for under $50

    Drove all the way from Boston to Prince Edward Island with luggage and backpacks in the bed of my Sierra. I used a nice net and was very happy with how well everything was secured down. Rain was a different story, but the net held well

    What is the one spice

    Another vote for Adobo, but it's got to be Adobe con cumino

    Vehical camp lighting question

    Yeah, I have a squared off, battery powered, red Coleman LED lantern, probably 10 years old. And I have a couple headlights as well. My truck "fun fund" purchases have been suspended until after Christmas, of course. Not to mention it's going in the body shop starting tomorrow for a new bumper...

    Switching tires

    Let me also clear something up...studded snows are not always the best solution. Money happen to be studded - I bought them used that way. But they are really best unpacked snow or ice within 5 or 10 degrees either way of freezing. Otherwise they should be aired down a little so more rubber can...

    Missing gear, where did that gear go

    Ha ha! ^^^ That's me. I have my core bunch of gear and a lot of times, other people I camp with have more stuff than me. Holiday sales are OK, but I find that the after-Christmas sales are better. And of course, if it's not something I'm going to wear, I have no problem working the Craigslist angle

    Switching tires

    I bought the steelies with Cooper snows used on Craigslist for 3 or 400 bucks. The performance on snow and ice is quite measurable. I would say, though, that if you dont get a lot of packed snow ice left on the roadways, just dont get the studs. Some say they can slightly increase stopping...

    Switching tires

    I'm with @Billiebob here. I've tried running Michelin and Goodyear all seasons in the New England winters. Snow here is hit or miss but it's always cold and icy. Always hearing that I should use winter/snow tires in winter, and remembering the 1970's when my dad and all the other adults would...

    Vehical camp lighting question

    What about adding a second truck battery with a charge isolator under the hood? You could then wire your lights directly to that second battery and not have to "tap into" your existing wiring. This isolates the battery used to start your truck, so even if you ran your lights until the second...
