Just read The Wolverine Way - thanks for the recommendation. In the process of mapping out our Glacier NP trip for this fall and our plans include hiking a few of the trails used for tracking these incredible animals.

Congratulations Patrick - amazing images !!

Not mine : https://sacramento.craigslist.org/rvs/d/shingle-springs-2006-four-wheel-camper/7068618029.html Seems like a great deal for the Tundra and Hawk

Another great TR- thanks!! So awesome to have a place all to yourselves!!

I've used a Little Buddy and Wave in my previous Hawks. I do a lot of winter camping and I only kept them on for maybe 10-15 minutes at a time for a quick warm up - generally first thing in the morning so there was minimal condensation. I liked the simplicity of the Wave and had it mounted on...

I've never been to the Mohave Preserve but it's now on my list for a winter adventure. Your pics really capture the essence of the desert in wintertime. So lucky to have snow!! Thanks for the TR!!

Check out Micropur tablets.I use these for backpacking as well and don't notice any chlorine taste. My water supply is a 5 gal Scepter can sitting on an AT holder plus a 2.5 gal Scepter can for drinking water only. It may not be practical for you to treat 20 gallons at a time but maybe you...

I ordered my ATC in May and I wanted the slider window since that is what I had in my previous 2 Hawks. I mainly used it for extra ventilation and one time when my friend accidentally locked the doors on my Tundra I was able to barely squeeze through both sliders to retrieve my keys. Marty...

Congrats on going for it!! One suggestion I have is to try and visit the factory at least once during your build. I had Marty pre-wire for my Truckfridge and Propex furnace as well as choosing where I wanted my USB plugs, battery, and solar connections. One thing I totally overloooked was the AT...

I have a Panther shell with 2 burner stove. I added a Propex furnace below the propane compartment. I gave Marty the exhaust vent for the Propex and he installed it as part of the build. I had a Wave in my previous Hawk and for the most part was satisfied with it but I really like the Propex. I...

I've been there in the winter and was warned not to drive out there if the playa was even just a little dark colored. Indeed, I did see a vehicle that had been abandoned not far from the main road. At least he had a winch- :wacko:

$3.25 at Texaco in Auburn yesterday - I still can't fill the tank without it stopping at $100.00!! But I'm not complaining, it was $4.19 last month.

How'd you like to be camped next to these guys!?

I had a left front tire blowout on my 1ton Chev Dually years ago. I was pulling a 4 horse trailer loaded with 2 horses on Jackson Hwy. When the tire blew I immediately went left across the center divide. Fortunately there wasn't any on coming vehicles and I was able to slow down gradually and...

I know it's winter when the boys start showing up around here.

A little off topic but for you old Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson fans : Fairport Convention Documentary

When you properly sharpen a knife or an axe there should be a slight burr left that is taken off with a strop. It takes 10 seconds to strop an edge. Maybe overkill for an axe but it's just habit for me. I've never shaved with a knife but I like to keep it as sharp as possible anyway.

Sharpal dual grit diamond shapener. I also use it to dress my knives and machete. For a finishing edge I use the back of an old cowhide belt that you can loop around a branch and use it as a strop. The 220 grit works to touch up the edge as you're working but for severely dulled edges a flat...

Thanks!! Also, special thanks to all of you SAR volunteers who get up in the middle of the night to help those in need!!

Another wonderful TR !! What route do you take to get to 395 when all the passes are closed?

Would a rig like this do??!!

Welcome to WTW- congrats on your new rig! It must be fun when people ask where you're from. I had to look up ZigZag!!

I was inspired by Ski's Carson Route TR to post this video of the Carson Pass Information Center. A few years ago my wife and I along with 2 friends were backpacking from Tamarack Lake to Echo Lake. The 2nd day one of our friends developed a severe blister on his heel and was obviously...

Thanksgiving Day 2017 we headed out to Utah and Arizona for 10 days. My wife had never been to The Little A-Le-Inn so we decided to make a quick stop there and to our surprise they had one of the biggest Thanksgiving spreads I'd ever seen. I thought it was a private party but the owner...

12 years ago I had an electrician setup a manual transfer switch to power 2/3's of our home with a 6500 watt Honda generator. My wife gets up at 6:00 AM to get ready for work so I joyfully - haha - get out of our comfy bed and stumble outside in the dark to fire up the Honda. We're on a well so...
