I find that placing a few skulls on pikes of the vanquished around the site is an excellent deterrent. For the ones too stoopid to take this message, a motion activated recording of a racking shotgun generally gets their attention. A mean-ass dog inside your tent should only be a last...

You can probably sell that fairly easily. Everything overlanding is hot and somewhat hard to get right now. I sold a soft top RTT much quicker than I thought I would and had to turn down one person. Tacoma stuff is probably the easiest to unload.

I may do that although I don't EVEN have a timeline. Is there any trout fishing in the Black Hills? I'll google that. So much snow out west it will probably be August before half of it melts. I was initially looking at a loop from south to north up the Rockies but that may be a little too...

Now, dammit! Ya'll gonna send me down another coffee rabbit hole! Sometimes all that motivates me to get out of bed is the thought of a good cuppa. Corandor ordered! Already had the Manual Mill Coffee Grinder.

Welcome to the site. I was just looking on google maps last night at the Black Hills. Interesting area. I was through there once about 20 years ago. When I make my Grand Tour I will probably make a point to spend a few days in that area. Happy Trails!

And people laughed at me when I said Elon Musk has invented a weather machine to disrupt oil prices and drive up the prices and make his machines more affordable. Just keep watching :dizzy: Currently ALL the refineries in Texas are shut down due to the cold snap. Of course, they will be back up...

My current favorite is a stainless steel mesh pour over. It's great but I think it takes too much water to clean it in the field. Tried using a paper filter to aid cleanup, meh. I need to rig up a pressurized bottle to knock the grinds out? My hand grinder has heavy glass container. Bulky but...

Maybe a large thermos with warmed water? I have never shopped for thermos' so not sure what's available. I guess the cooler as a storage container is similar solution.

The picture NASA doesn't want you to see.

You guys down there have had it hard. Glad you are surviving ok. Having most all of Texas on a separate grid was good until it wasn't. I can understand not wanting to deal with the FERC but...Maybe ya'll can setup something with Mexico! :grinning:

What Grubworm said. Always better to have alternatives to unforeseen circumstances. Being able to easily change locations and comfortably survive has always been appealing to me. Now, if I could find a good woman that has her own rig, can tie flies, and put the lure in the right spot...I might...

I've been wondering about that also. I hadn't thought too much about the drying aspect though. I do have some micro fleece clothing that I really like for outdoors wear and it dries fast. Maybe layers of easy drying clothes instead of heavy cottons, etc. Wool keeps one warm when wet/damp...

If I weren't a few days from official retirement...anyways starting a business to support my fishing and travel aspirations would be interesting if they weren't fixing to pay me to quit working! I haven't really done much hard work in several years. Kinda eased into this retirement thing. If I...

An extra few hundo for fuel for an extended trip, while certainly not welcomed, may be worth it if it reduces the crowding. According to the stories I am hearing some of the popular destinations are a bit overrun. LOL, sitting at home has cost me more in Amazon purchases! An extra $20-30/day...

Right down the YouTube rabbit hole!

Thanks! So Looking at New Mexico, coming from ANY state except Hawaii (direct flight?) you are supposed to quarantine for two weeks and not even go to the grocery store? If you are from N.M. you are OK. unless you go and come from another state. Looks like if we could all go to N.M. and...

Have fun out there! Nobody ever lies on their death bed wishing they had worked more or watched more TV! Sounds like you have a good grasp of what you want from life. Best of Everything!

Hey, man! You're driving on the wrong side of the road!....Oh, never mind :grinning:

Fun Fact: Life expectancy is probably much higher for people that mind their own business than ones that don't. Someone should do a research project on that. JK. If one sees a major crime they should do their civic duty and report it.

So much for the "Pursuit of Happiness" and all that stuff! Where can one get mace anyway? I thought it was only pepper spray stuff available? I think I would like to have some since I found out wasp spray is ineffective. LOL, hijacking my own thread! I generally only go to places that...
