    Boo

    you make an incredible assumption you no longer carry covid based on loose “facts”. If you truly want to be cleared be tested again and get a negative test result. You could very well be right in thinking you no longer have it. But I can’t help but think it’s the assumption mentality that is...

    Optimal lift for TJ

    I run 3” springs and a 1/2” spacer up front. 265/75/16 with a 3spd auto and 3.73 gearing. I’m jumping up to 33’s and 4.10 very soon with additional BL/MML. When you start to get at 3-4” you may require other modifications to the skid, ie dropping it, sye and so on. Keep it under 3” and you...

    Anyone using a small microwave when car camping

    If you want to use a very small microwave, then you would probably require 2000w inverter to run more than 30 seconds. Inverters are rated at peak output, that’s not constant run. As mentioned previous find the wattage for the appliance you intended to use and double the wattage for the intended...

    Three Things I Hate About My Roof Top Tent

    I should have mentioned my trailer is a 6x4 u build with a CVT mt Mazama tent. I agree on setup time being crucial but it shouldn’t be a race, not in my mind at least. Life is already fast paced enough, it’s nice to just do this stuff at your own pace but yet not taking an extreme amount of...

    Three Things I Hate About My Roof Top Tent

    A TJ has to be one of the worst platforms for a RTT. They are sprung extremely light, most cages for them don’t tie into the frame, thus the body caries the weight and most racks are only rated to 300lbs. They have a high roll over so putting that much weight above the roof line no beuno as...

    Camping in WY/MT grizzly country

    There is no reason not to take extra precautions in griz country. With that said don’t live a life fearing this incredible animal. Every griz encounter doesn’t end in a blood bath with the griz winning, yes a it more unpredictable that a black bear But the same rules apply. If you fear bears...

    Camp Chairs

    We spent almost a year trying to find something to replace the ones we had previous. We decided on the Kuma Lazy bear chairs. They are far bigger wider than anything else on the market. You can sit in them sideways like a lounger. Their couch is slick too as it doesn’t have any centre bars...

    How to prepare a boat and trailer for overlanding

    Is your trailer equipped for off road? The lakes we frequent often can’t accommodate a boat trailer so we have never invested in one. I can throw my 12’ smoker jon on my little Jeep trailer but it gets a bit wonky with the length of the boat and the RTT. for me when I think of “overlanding”...

    First Aid/Fire Extinguisher Identification

    Defiantly not advertising my first aid kit, too much of an investment. My fire/rescue tag is enough. Having a first aid kit is extremely important, but the training for it is even more important. I like the idea of a decal on a windshield showing the medical training level. as far as...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    You need to have the talk about ownership and the person behind the trigger is to worry about, not the gun. But I do get it, we had a camping trip in the fall where a pack of coyotes came into camp and were nosing the tent trying to smell/get in. Of course I had 2 mini wiener dogs in the tent...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    somewhere local, not cabelas or bass pro. Going to take the PAL course again with my wife, haven’t taken it since I was a kid. She went to a gun introduction course at a local range and loved it. Apparently she is a better bird shot than me.....loves them clay pigeons

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Black bears are predictable until you come across and old boar or a sow with cubs, the later being the worst. I have a spot I fish and a black bear sow brings her young cubs down, every year, 5ish pm, like a clock. Thankfully she is always on the other side of the river and why I have yet to...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Bear bangers are very effective for those not wanting to pack heat. We carry bangers, spray and an assisted knife. Banger first, then spray right before getting pounced (only effective at short distance) and a knife for last defence. The best defence though is education and knowing when bears...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    the last time I had a bear in my campsite runnpig a muck on our cooking appliances I opened the door, shot a bear banger and I didn’t see yogi for the rest of the trip. And any air gun isn’t going to do shit with the hide on a bear
