Grizzly bears are fascinating to me ever since I stood next to that giant bear mounted in the Anchorage, AK airport. Could have been a Kodiak bear? But still, it is an awesome and powerful creature. From what I gather from much reading about the worst situation is to get between a mother and...

Bear?? I thought he said overlanding with BEER!

You would think there are things like mothballs or something that would repel bears? A nose full of chili powder like we put on shrubbery to repel the male dogs peeing on them? Haven't heard of anything yet but I'll keep looking. Well, there's the bear spray but that is an active deterrent...

Following this thread. Not being from bear country I have limited experience around bears. Some black bears around in places but they are pretty shy. I see more and more about encounters with bird feeders, pet food, etc., since there is a growing population around here. They do occasionally...

Cool front moved through on Sunday and I did a little shakedown with some new equipment before the big jumpoff. 59F Monday morning! Don't see that much around here in mid June.

Yeah, I just spent about an hour picking up trash at the remote boat landing I go camp and fish. Some people are nasty and lazy. Wasn't household garbage though. Just beer cans, food wrappers and bait cups. I am about to the point of "screw the trash, I want access to my public lands" . If...

You didn't say what vehicle they are on. Weight makes big difference I would think. My little Tacoma got much more than that. I'm not even going to tell you how much because you probably wouldn't believe me! I took the first set off and put in shed with 10-20 K still on them. They're heavy...

That's what wilderness is for! Roads only use a small portion of the forest. I would support a lobby.

Good points. Been wondering why they make so much of our public lands so inaccessible? I can just imagine the excuses. I understand wilderness areas, but having 90% of the forest only accessible by foot is not a good solution to a 70 yr old that has paid a shitload of taxes in their...

Thanks! That's great! Thankfully I haven't lost anything yet...or, I haven't missed it if I have.

A recurring problem I have is....I'm old, and forgetful, and I sometimes leave the tailgate down. Happens mostly when I am piddling around the house and jump in to run to the store. On the road I am pretty good truck driver and do a walk-around or two before I pull out. Yesterday I did it...

I have temporarily patched a small fuel tank leak caused by a rock with Octagon soap. Worked good until it rained. It could stop an active leak until you get the permanent patch. Might work on other small fluid leaks not under pressure . Also, used graphite in the radiator to stop leaks. I hear...

Wyoming is the tits!

Wish I was out that way now and I would take you up on that. Sending you a PM later to pick your brain about some streams and camping in that area.

I see work trucks at the grocery store and places that have all kinds of valuable tools like chainsaws, etc., sitting in the back. I always wonder what their thinking is. First crackhead comes along would be all over that. Most of the petty theft I have ever been aware of was at some point...

Never had anything associated with manual labor get gone. However, that was the reason I put a Diamondback cover on the bed of my truck to secure the more valuable things. I don't leave my truck for long when I am out and about but anything is possible. I guess that's why I pay insurance on...

I've been using some of their rod holders and have been pleased with the product. They have many various applications on their site. Not sure I could entirely trust expensive equipment going down the road at 70 mph but...so far they seem to be the real deal. A quick glance at the suction cup...

Hey, guise. Been watching this thread because I also use my Hennessy Hammock - "The Coolest Tent In The World" on occasion in addition to my RTT. Can't decide which is more comfortable? Both have advantages and drawbacks. Anyway, I have seen many solutions to mounting hammock on truck. Just...

I like mine...use it all the time. Easier than packing trimmer I think...

I'm sure someone on here has the answer! Something like this might be a solution for quick connect.
