I need a roof top cargo carrier so's I can carry more stuff that I don't use everyday but really need on extended trip. Stuff like tools, recovery gear, fishing gear, etc. Also, need a rear hitch swing gate for fuel, water, spare tire, and the E-bike I want. Probably going to need a trailer...

I had a problem with condensation underneath the mattress during cold weather. I don't think it had anything to do with tent ventilation per se since I leave plenty of ventilation because I like it cool being inside a warm bag. I think it was the warming of the mattress from body heat and the...

I just retired with grand plans of adventuring the Rockies. I still have the plan. But, I have been refining and re-refining my rig and kit and also found that there are many wonderful places in my area that I am still exploring and enjoying during this spring weather. I'm headed out the door...

Got new set of tires yesterday and had to wait a week. They said they had been hard to get. Glad I didn't wait even though I had a few miles left on the old ones. I just stuck the old ones in the shed because I am a borderline hoarder. I don't understand the backlog in ammunition that's been...

Interesting coffee reading and uses in recipes: Coffee Talk Archives - Charleston Coffee Roasters I picked up some of their Signature Blend at Costco a while beck and really like it. I was aware of some uses for coffee in recipes but they have some more ideas too.

Toyota Dealership here always has buy 3 + 1 for a dollar during April. That's for whatever they can order which is most tires I suppose. I just replaced my K02s load range E. Kind of a stiffer ride but the mileage was superior. But, you knew that. Hard to beat even though pricey was good...

Put up a sign at the beginning with AAA's number...or the local tow service. Maybe that will make them think a little first, maybe.

OK. Here's my secret...

When the covids visited last year and tp shortages hit, I already had a year's supply. Some things you just don't want to get caught short on so it was just an "oh, well, no problem here". I do tend to stockpile some of the essentials. I just got back from a short trip and I will now restock...

Sounds like Amazon is going to miss you. LOL.

@Road , my bike buddy and former shop owner didn't know anything and was a little skeptical about something that was quick release being safe, etc. I sent him the link. I think it's certainly possible with the right materials and engineering. Like you, I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig...

I just bought a nice printer and like to make a binder of certain areas I am going. I find various maps online will show various features and links. Then I will take the Gazetteer and mark routes and destination, other notes. Not all/any maps are 100% accurate I don't believe. Except satellite...

That's a new twist since I worked in a bike shop 40 years ago. I thought at first you were referring to quick release pedals that are used with riding cleats/shoes. Good ideer but don't forget the tremendous force a pedal and crank arm has to take at times. If you are actually going to pedal...

1. Any coffee is usually better than no coffee. Especially if the last dose was/is approaching 24 hrs. previous. 2. Fresh roasted and ground coffee has more flavor. 3. Refer to #1. There is a fundamental difference , to me, in making one cup vs. multiple cups at once and I usually only...

I have been grinding for years with electric grinder. Then, I started researching and decided the ceramic hand grind might be an improvement. Glad I did. Now I have to refrain from stocking up on too much and different kinds of beans. I have cut back my consumption a tad from when I was in an...

I like simple. I'm going to pick up those ingredients today. I will try it with venison. You need something green with that!

I have skinning knives, fleshing knives, fillet knives, Buck knives, handmade knives, butcher knives, etc, etc. My daily carry is a Swiss Army Recruit with a belt clip so it's a little harder to lose. I have been carrying the below in a belt case when I'm in the woods. I do like serrated...

Thanks! That's kind of what I was thinking but there is little information about the particulars just looking at their literature. Might be beneficial to have a central contact point when traveling far from home.

Will they send a tow truck out to FS Rd 1037 or the boondocks to recover your vehicle? They say roadside service but they don't really identify what roadside they won't go to that I can find. Anybody dealt with them from a "way off paved road" situation? I was about 1 1/2 miles down a good...

Make it where it stands on end and use gravity to add pressure? Store it lying down...might be a little heavy. Maybe put your antennae on top?
