I enjoy a good cocktail to close out a great night in the woods and as such have worked on an overland bar that brings along the comforts of home with enough to share.
I started with an Alubox 42 which was previously used for camera gear along with a trekpak kit for said box.
When you open...
I’d like to show you how to properly rehandle a tool. This method is not the fastest but it will be effective for a lifetime of use. I restore vintage axes and hatchets as a side business, I’ve done well over 100 tools with zero repairs from a loose head. I make my own handles sometimes...
i have a goal zero yeti plus a second matched battery connected via Anderson plugs. I’d like to run power from my SPOD under the hood to the truck bed to charge my GZ system while driving. Solar is not a viable option where I will be most of the time.
Any suggestions on how to wire this in...
I see all kinds of drawers but have any of you made a sturdy shelf to fit on top of your back seat, the bench part?
I have a crew cab truck and have built in storage under the seat. When I go on solo trips it would be nice to keep gear in the back seat without damaging it or it bouncing...
Fire is an essential part of survival, you’ll likely need it when conditions are poor. Many rely on poorly designed or just plain unreliable tools as their emergency fire starters.
There are many great kits out there, this is just mine. I have these stashed in our cars, camper, back packs...
While there are a lot of fire starters out there on the commercial market few of them are actually good and most are quite expensive considering the use. A lot of these companies unfortunately put out a bad product knowing that most people will put it in their kit and never test it.
Now let...
I have a couple alubox 42s and 73s and would like to line them. The trek pack stuff is nice but it seems a bit expensive, do any of you know of any alternatives?
Thanks!
Do any of you have experience with extruded aluminum T slot? I want to build a light weight bed frame for my truck bed. I have a 6.5’ bed so there is plenty of room. I will make a top out of 1/2” plywood with a 1”x3” poplar surround with soft edges to hold the pad in place. The reason for...
I have RCI powder coated skid plates on the way for my F150. I’d like to make sure I don’t have galvanic corrosion. Should I add an insulator of some sort between the frame and skids or will the powder coat and paint on the frame be enough.
The reason I went with aluminum is mainly weight...
I’m narrowing down rack choices and like the front runner rack but I like the ease of removal of the Yakima foot/tower system that would mount to my truck cap rail.
Do any of you have first hand experience with a set up like this?
I’ll mainly use the rack for my canoe and kayak but like...
In August I’ll be leaving on an expedition to Nain, Labrador from Grand Rapids, MI via the trans Labrador highway, then boat and bush plane. There will not be rock climbing or highly technical Offroading but being the Eagle Scout I am I’d like to be prepared for the worst.
Pre travel I plan...
I don’t want a large lift, just a moderate increase in height for 33” tires and better Offroad ride quality.
Can any of you provide real world experience with the fox 2.0 coil overs? I’m researching these for my front with matching shocks in the rear and perhaps some upper control arms to...
I do not want to add a lift kit to my truck however an inch or two gained wouldn't hurt. I was looking at the Bilstein 5100s that are supposed to add some height and better ride as well as looking at a set of Fox coilovers/matching rear shocks as a better option.
Anyone out there tried this or...
This is my daily driver 2015 F150 which I also use for SAR, disaster response, and over landing.
My goal is to keep it stealthily, modular, and quickly adaptable. I want to keep a low profile.
I will not be doing any rock crawling, mud bogging, or pre running so I don't need any extreme mods...
