AGM question...I saw on here or somewhere recently that most alternators don't fully charge an AGM battery. So, I hooked up my semi-smart charger with an AGM setting on my fairly new AGM battery and sure enough it was only holding about 80% charge. After charging and sitting for a day it was...

I use a paint stirrer stick for tucking the fabric under the cover. I keep several on-hand since they are flat and store easily.

Don't forget to turn off the oven and lock the door when you leave! :grin:

Maybe run a drop cord with a light bulb?

Can you just leave it up?

Geese!? Dang! I know squirrels will chew aluminum and anything else softer than a rock. I have heard of marmots will chew stuff but never been around marmots. Rodents chew. Also, raccoons and opossums reported to cause problems but I 've never seen them mess with a vehicle...unless it...

Anyone have issues when parked for several days? Apparently the soy-based insulation can be attractive to mice, rats, and other rodents. On another forum I saw some suggestions of deploying moth balls as a deterrent and Honda has a rodent wrap wiring tape that is a bit expensive. Just...

You might want to look on tacomaworld.com and see what ideas they have. It's quite amazing some of the ingenious stuff those guys come up with.

Put mine in today for some long awaited upgrades to the suspension and adding a nicer roof rack and some scene lights. I've got other vehicles to drive so no anxiety there. I'm glad I waited and found the right guy. We may end up collaborating on some other stuff in the future. Trying to get...

I would be interested to know what type settings people are having theft and other similar problems while out recreating. I generally feel more secure the further I am from crowded areas. I mean the odds go down at least.

Agreed. Some things can be planned to avoid problems. Some things like roads and bridges washing out, dam failures, wastewater plants/mains under water, teaching people not to drive through unknown water, etc. it gets problematic. Then, there is the inevitable after affects like mold...

Yes, we are due for an earthquake around here. We had a big one (approx. 7.1) back in 1886 that would be devastating with today's population and infrastructure. https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1986/0985/report.pdf Ha, before I retired I had them planning for tsunamis and EMPs. They were probably...

At least 90 days of coffee! Toothpaste, TP, soap, shampoo, artichoke relish, batteries, rice, beans, salt, razors, cereal, powdered milk, Clorox, charcoal, firewood, Coleman fuel, motor oil and filters, all closer to a years worth. Then there are things like generator, solar panels, travel...

Wonder where one could acquire some fake claymore mines? Wonder if many people even know what they look like? M18A1 Claymore Mine: Enemy Troops Fall to Pieces Just to keep'em guessing!

When the National Guard surrounds you please tell them that you are protesting the "limited resources being made available to amuricans to enjoy the out of doors" and "improvements MUST be implemented immediately". Please make it serious for the cameras. I think this could turn into a...

In the background of the picture it looks kind of like it could be a dam, of sorts. Could be an old livestock pond and the silt is ass deep and water table is just under the surface if it is. Measure twice, cut onest.

Hey, checks in the mail! Check your messages. I'm just starting to research the vans but had not heard about the Sprinter troubles.

Yes, I see the Dodge is a little wider and that has some appeal since I liked your idea of putting the bed across the front (I'm 5'9") to have more storage in the rear. I don't think I need all the kitchen sink and shower/bathroom stuff...some sort of composting toilet for sure. (I just got...

I learned a long time ago that four wheel drive is best used to back out of a situation when the front tires start pushing mud. Axe me how I know! Several years checking cotton in the S.C. Low Country will give you some perspective of mud, sand, wet clay, ditches with sharp cut saplings...

Wow, that is efficient! I already have various weight pants, shirts, and under layers from my fishing escapades. Some good technical sweaters and jackets for altitude and rain. Just ordered some bamboo and spandex drawers because cotton doesn't cut it in the field. These bamboo fiber...
