National Forests are open. However, campgrounds May or may not be. The easiest way to find out what is open and closed is to call the National Forest Service Ranger Station for the area you wish to explore and ask what the regulations are for that area for that timeframe due to ever changing...

Welcome Drew and Fam, I am the Northwest Director. @Munga Brown and @Greg Eigsti are your closest member representatives. Due to COVID-18 and the verrying degree of closures throughout the northwest, as well as the rest of the world, all Expos and Rally’s for the year have been canceled...

I found a couple of pics of field day. Not many and not the best, but hey I was busy having fun.

There will be 3, maybe 4 of us plus the little dog. CB and FRS sounds good, I’ll bring my HF rig too just in case we need to make a long distance cry out for help.

My Bronco has a stock 35 amp alternator, but in the late 90’s most automotive manufacturers started putting in 65-230 amp alternators to handle the demands of OBDII electrical loads.

Thanks for the offer Jim. The HF winch tray won’t work for my application, it’s 40” between the frame rails of the Bronco and the HF Tray is 37”. The tray isn’t that hard to build... and I bought the material to build it a long time ago... the hard part was getting someone to help me get the...

Started my Winch Install

I’ll let you know... it’s probably going to be toward the end of August.

No I can’t tune in FRS on my ham yet. we are taking my wife’s 4Runner for this trip wich doesn’t and won’t have dedicated coms... but if we run CB, I have a nice Galaxy 959 with mag mount antenna that I can toss in to her rig... we also have the little FRS radios.

We are flexible, we can push back the time to fallow you up Dustin, or if some one else wants to lead us up that would be fine as well. What are we going to use for trail coms? Need to figure out how to configure my Go-Box

You will love the new tent. Did you get the Overland Edition or the standard T-4? The standard T4 only got a color change with an optional Alpine Green. The T4 Plus Overland Edition has upgraded tent stakes, a ground tarp, new materials, and a lot of new features visit Pop-Up Camping Hub...

Ok... I’ll see what’s up

I love the Piper J-3 and the new CubCrafters Carbon Cub SS. My dream is to build a Carbon Cub some day.

First, according to the 1993 Jayco Eagle Owner’s Manual all pop-up trailers came equips with the optional battery wires pre-installed (pg 42). Now to address your other questions. I highly recommend watching “DIY Solar Power with Will”. The kid talks pretty plainly to understand all the...

they have been around for a little while. All the reviews I have seen for the BOG-Out have been by corporate sponsors... no real world reviews. When first released, they were offering a discount to OB members, but due to them advertising on the forums I am not sure if they are still offering...

With water being so close, fishing sounds like a good option... what are the laws inflatables in Washington? Do we need a boat license or invasive species permit?

For what that kit has, look some more... seams kind of steep

Bought a double sleeping bag to compliment our new T4 Plus. Next up is a double air mattress and double cot.

Just ordered off of eBay, thank you for the link. This is exactly what @KRose has been asking for for a sleeping upgrade. I hope it keeps her warm enough... I find bags too warm... so the seller ate zippers should be a nice touch for heat control in warmer weather.

Normally when I go tent shopping, I head to Wal-Mart and pick up an Ozark Trails Tent. They get the job done. They are cheap. If maintained properly, they can last a long time. However Wal-Mar tents also have some serious downsides: They can be a pain to set up They are constructed of light...
