toehold!?!? Stupid autocorrect! "the old"...

There was an entire communications subform here on the previous version of software. @administrator That seems to be another one that got lost in the tradition. Any chance of digging it out of toehold backup? Thanks for pointing that out, Drift!

Following! :)

@stringtwelve No I didn't. ;)

From my build thread: Future Plans: - Fridge/Freeze - Sleeping Platform - Brackets for Jerry cans - Interior Storage (where back seat currently is) - Aluminum Turtleback Trailer

Exactly! On other forums, it has been shown that stickies, by their very nature, are ignored. People get so used to seeing them, that they become overlooked. Some forums haves many stickies that you need to scroll down to the next screen just see the first active thread. Just as we've discussed...

@jordanbrooks Oddly enough, the optional light background forum has the headers highlighted. As for the forum in general, @administrator it seems to be working flawlessly. We had discussed various features at the early stages of the xenforo conversion as well as the previous software, and...

Still's axes are made by Ox-Head/Ochsenkopf. For the Stihl branded axes, they substitute ash handles over the hickory used in their own branded axes, probably to distinguish their own as a superior product. The Stihl Pro axes with the collar are hickory, though...

@S.L.O_X Ah, the Old Faithful Inn was closed for the season by the time we got there. Looks huge inside! It is the largest log structure in the world. Yep, I'd read about the Hebgen Lake earthquake

I have Fiskars X27 36" Splitting Axe, and an X7 Hatchet. I got the X27 as a combination splitting tool and everyday axe, but it does neither really well. The angle on the leading edge is too much to use as a general purpose axe, and not enough to use when splitting. It does OK, but two...

@S.L.O_X Very nicely put together! You and I were at many of the same spots. Where was the wooden structure at 2:47? ( Your son's photo just before that is great!) My old dSLR didn't do video, and I never thought of it for anything other than the few waterfalls I grabbed. I'll have to think...

^^ That's great! :) @WUzombies I was fortunate enough to acquire one of the Benchmade licensed Emerson CQC7 folders back in the '80s. What a magnificent knife! This was when Ernest was overwhelmed with military orders, and couldn't begin to supply public demand, so Benchmade stepped in and...

@stringtwelve I didn't need to know that... Actually, before our trip, I looked into picking up a used teardrop to use as a storage vehicle for the outbound trip, and an alternate sleeping place during the wandering portion. Not too much more than a Uhaul rental, and I could sell it afterward...

I have a 28" Machete that my grandparents brought back from Mexico in the '80s. It was made from and old automobile spring, and has bakelite scales on both side for the handle and a leather sheath with fringe along the edge. Man, does that sucker hold an edge! I use it every fall for the...

@jordanbrooks Take a look at my build thread HERE, particularly page 5, which shows the FourTreks modular awing mounts. You'll also note on the first page that I have two separate roof mount setups; one for the basket, LED bar and awning, and another for two bike racks, two kayak racks, and the...

I have the 2500 ARB awning on my Outback, and love it! It is 8' 2" X 8' 2". If you have room and the extra cash, I'd go with at least the 2000 model. Four feet wide is barely room to sit two chairs under, and wouldn't be much protection from wind-driven rain. I bought mine from Alpha...

So, did you go with the shorter boxes on each side and have room for the 20# tank?

Thanks for posting, @Hoover What a beautiful area to visit. Those trails are amazing, and something I'd like to see some day.

I went through their order sheet, and had to sell a kidney by the time I got done. :) I'd have to go through a serious weight watching program with gear with that trailer behind my Outback. Tow rating is 2800 pounds, and tongue weight limit is 175 pounds, if I recall correctly. Of course I...
