I've got a 2005 GMC Sierra crew cab 2WD that is my "go to" for most trips. If you don't try to "rock-land" it you can get to most of the interesting places, some times you'll just have to bump it. Good tires, a rear locker and some extraction gear will get by in most circumstances and for...

Wife and I will be in OK for a week at the end of the month looking at properties in Davis, Checotah, Poteau and Eufaula (son lives in Muskogee). Coming from the western region there is abundant open land here for off-roading and dispersed activities. How is the off roading and overlanding in...

1 year, 3 months, 15 days, 3 hours and 30 minutes (but who's counting) until I close this chapter on a 36 year career with the same employer. On 10/21/2021 I will join the ranks of the retired and campfires, howling at the moon and scouring northeast Arizona and western New Mexico will NOT be...

Rolling my tickets to 2021 but keeping my camping reservations and travel plans. We'll just spend that weekend in the Coconino or Kaibab putting miles on the truck and nights in the tent!!!

Chaffles are a godsend for those of us addicted to bread. Rome's Famous Pie Irons Since 1964 brought chaffles outdoors for us.

Baofeng BF8 was my first radio - and I still have it. When I'm deployed with our EmCom unit I have my FT60 and FTM400 for 2M HAM duties, and my Motorola for trunked duties. When I'm just out hiking or using the radio for campsite duties I would much rather drop/lose/break a $25 chinese radio...

There are various seat covers that can be used to protect the fabric and also create a cradle type seat for the pooch. We use a harness and leash that attaches to the baby chair connections above or behind the back seat for Daisy's safety when traveling. Commercially available at most of the...

Our grandson (lives with us) is on the spectrum, wasn't verbal until he was five. His best friend is "Daisy" our pitbull with Nala the husky/Shepard mix a REALLY close second. They're family.....before we brought them home we knew they would sleep on the bed, have a pillow in the front room and...

Already did -- was supposed to be in Idyllwild for the weekend, instead stayed home and installed my HAM radio, pulled my popup under the porch, broke into the wiring chores I've been putting off and hunkered down. I can wait a few weeks to enjoy the rest of my life.

Expo Mountain -- About MOUNTAIN WEST — Overland Expo®

Wife and I are going to Expo west, just not camping onsite. We'll likely stay at Whitehorse Lake or just remote camp somewhere in the Kaibab forest.

For RAM mounts you can put a ball directly onto the back of the FTM400 and forego the use of the claw. Threaded mount is already supplied in the back of the control head and the ball arms will mount straight to it once you mount the appropriate ball. Lido Products LM-AD1 or Yaesu FTM-400XDR Install

Before you decide on a format, I recommend you research on repeaterbook.com and find what is active in your area on the bands you have privileges on. For example near my home base DMR is active and C4FM is almost non-existent...BUT... go down the hill into the Inland Empire and beach cities...

Just down the hill from us. Wife and I will be there!

There are numerous developed campgrounds along with abundant primitive campsites in the surrounding forests. We've stayed at Whitehorse campground to do Expo as well as Kaibab Lake. Remote sites are everywhere and first come first served.

PADI Divemaster. HATE night diving. Your field of vision is entirely dependent upon the strength and beam shape of your dive light. Every time I step off the boat at night the theme music for "JAWS" is resonating in my head. Day-time -- no sweat. Worked summers as a safety diver for a local...

I have a 7900 in my truck and a 400 currently wired up in the garage feeding a Diamond X300 antenna. The 400 is BY FAR the better of the two. Programming is a breaze using the memory card, true dual band and dual monitoring. In field/mobile memory entry is intuitive. Channel memory seems almost...
