Thanks!! I should receive my conduit carrier kit today. The Buyers 6"conduit kit price was recently reduced to $38.00 so I decided to go for it. Just one of those "I'll get around to it someday mods".

Back to the drawing board. I really want a portable setup because it's extremely dusty here, pine and oak pollen everywhere,pine sap, falling branches,pinecones and acorns constantly peppering my truck and camper not to mention the wild turkeys roosting on them. I'll be looking for a folding...

Thanks !! The more portable (small) the better. I'll be taking a look at the Acopower Kit. How long have you been using it?

I've been thinking about purchasing a portable solar panel for a while and have noticed that Renogy offers a 100 watt flexible solar panel kit for around $280.00. I seldom stay in one place for more than a day or two and only run my Truckfridge and Fantastic fan when cooking so the only time...

Trapper Mike: Finally getting around to installing a 6" conduit storage tube under the roof of my Hawk. Where did you put the footman loops? Are the loops against the front panel just below the corner where it meets the roof? Anything you would have done differently?? Thanks!!

Frank, You might already have this free app: Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I ended up becoming a member because I like the work that they do.

Quite a day hike - thanks for the info on Wm Tyler. Was there 2 years ago and didn't see the tube containing his bio. Besides being smokey as all heck I bet it was pretty warm too!!

It's been happening to me - including this very post. It usual loads the 2nd time.

How about some pics of your flatbed? I have a '14 Tundra 2X Cab and wanted an aluminum flatbed a couple of years ago but couldn't find one. Would be interested in seeing how yours came out. Thanks!!

Great website - thanks!! Was watching the plume from the Donnell fire late yesterday afternoon from Highland Lakes and had no idea where the fire was other than it was due south and pretty close. Several people drove out by 7:00 as no one knew what was going on. Maybe this would have been a good...

Yep- near Ebbett's Pass. Heading up there this Friday. Looking forward to cooler weather and hopefully less smoke.

Seems like cargo would be considered personal property which generally isn't covered on an auto policy. I agree with you that if there is coverage for personal property it would be limited to items like luggage, clothing, CDs, or vehicle emergency equipment. Then you have your deductible which...

I just got back from the Outdoor Retailers Show in Denver with a fist full of Nat Geo maps and a wall map of the PCT - would have bought more but I just had one carry on!!

Too many insurance agents will tell you that your camper is covered which is true as far as liability is concerned : specifically, bodily injury or property damage. If you want coverage for damage to your camper you have to have comprehensive and collision coverage on the camper and the camper...

I've looked into the Thermacell and the reason I decided against it is that there's 3 parts to it : the device itself, gas canister, and chemical mat. Anything that requires more than spraying on some jungle juice or wiping a skin so soft towelette is too high tech for me.

Hopefully we can get up there early to snag a nice isolated spot. We'll have our packs so we could always hike in a few miles if there's too many people around. Thanks for the info!!

Anyone been to Highland Lakes recently?? A friend of mine needs to get out of the house but can only go August 10-12, so I'm wondering how the crowds are up there. I usually drive my Tundra 4x4 on our trips but he wants to take his Honda Element. Anyone know how his car would be on Highland...

Jason Isbell former member of Drive By Truckers is one of our great current songwriters. The intro is long but relevant. Dress Blues:

2x the heat gun. Any residual adhesive, spray some WD40 on a rag and scrub it off.

Saw this 2007 Eagle on CL : https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/rvs/d/2007-four-wheel-pop-up-camper/6642167411.html

I had a 2003 Tundra and 2005 Hawk for several years. The only suspension mod was overload springs and never felt the need to do anything else. The only negative I had were with the brakes. Whether the Hawk was on or off I always felt the brakes were very marginal. I only carry a minimal amount...

pvstoy: I've been trying to get this project on my schedule for years for the reasons you gave plus I've heard they have a great camp chef. Sounds like you had a great time at Star Lake. Worked a TRT realignment at Echo Summit last year ( or was it 2 yrs? ). Maybe you were there? Will be...

Doesn't qualify as cool but I'll be working a trail project on the PCT with the Backcountry Horsemen out of Red's Meadow July 3-8. Won't be any fireworks but there'll be good eating!! Happy 4th everybody - honk if you see me heading down 395 early tomorrow morning!!

I believe it has a turbo 2L and AWD. Fun to look at and think about all the fun and frustrations I had with my Westy. I've read that if they were available the cost would be over $100K - more if we slap a 25% import tax on European luxury cars.

Great shots Andy. New camera/lens? Saw the first 2 fawns at my place on Monday. Only had my Iphone so just enjoyed watching them.
