We were slow to get started Friday morning. Its hard to crawl out of your sleeping bag when it is 20° out. We also made the mistake of putting our tent between 2 trees for wind protection and those trees kept the whole tent shaded all day so it never warmed up in there. Luckily Saphira got us...

There is a good chance I will take you up on this but need to get everything figured out first. I will let you know.

I guess its time I finally write up my first trip report on here. My wife and I had been planning a trip to Big Bend National Park in Texas over the holidays with stops at some National Monuments in New Mexico on the way there and back. We were planning to leave Christmas day but then realized...

At first I was a bit skeptical about this since I'm not sure how I feel about the 17" wheels but the idea is growing on me. It looks like the price may be right and if I buy them used and am not happy with them I should be able to sell them again without as big of a loss. Doing some searching...

I had my engine completely rebuilt by Clegg Machine a bit over a year and about 10k miles ago after it spun a rod bearing so it is healthy although I do have issues with the cooling system. I'm not sure what is going on with that yet. Water pump, thermostat, all hoses and the fan clutch (heavy...

Well after my wife locked up the tires and slid in the rain and then I slid to a stop 1" from a car's bumper trying to turn into a parking spot in a snowy parking lot my wife is finally convinced that not only should I buy new tires but I NEED to buy new tires. It is with great joy that I set...

I have an Early Winters Silver Lining sleeping bag that was owned by my uncle who was killed on a motorcycle in the early 80's (before I was born). I'm not sure when he bought it but I think it sat in my grandparents attic from when he died until about 8 years ago when my grandma gave it to me...

There are people that would see this as clear evidence of some great conspiracy. Sorry I thought you might be one of them.

Not really unless I'm missing something. Seems logical that a guy that previously researched and reported on connections between US politicians and Russians was hired to do more research and reporting on connections between US politicians and Russians. Also seems pretty logical that people...

I agree on the video. My wife and I both paid for a videographer to jump with us. At first I thought the cost was excessive but it was totally worth it.

Just don't do this... Jump to 2:20 for the good part.

And at $0.42 per mile that is a total of $420k in tax deductions over 5 years (assuming all driving was done for work). I bet you could stretch out the oil change interval with that much continuous driving. It would definitely pay off to spend some money on used oil analysis so you could...

That is pretty crazy. I imagine it had to be mostly highway miles to hit that number so fast so brakes probably weren't used nearly as much as one normally would per mile. A lot of wear comes from cold startups so driving all day every day probably doesn't introduce much more wear than the 2 or...

My wife and I went this summer in Moab and it was awesome. The people there were great and I don't think you can find better views for it. I struggled between focusing on the experience of falling and wanting to just look at everything that you could see. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Could probably be $5k if you swapped out the Jeep patches for Toyota. Toyota patches add +50% reliability. Don't want you blanket breaking down on you.

Since it's for overlanding you could probably sell those for $1k to the instagram adventurers.

I agree with this. Shepherds were bred to work. It is literally in their DNA. They need to be given a job or they will find their own and you probably won't like it. Training a dog to do the job you want them to do can be difficult. Having somebody more experienced help with the training should...

What is the significance of this? It appears that this memo was written as soon as an FBI agent discovered that there were emails on Weiner's computer related to Hillary while he was investigating something unrelated. That FBI agent did not have a warrant to look at those in more detail which is...

I have a better idea and the fact that it is never discussed tells me that nobody in politics is actually interested in reducing illegal immigration. Too many of them profit directly or have donors that profit from the cheap labor provided by illegal immigrants. Here is the answer... Offer a...
