    I wish you luck too. I get PO every spring clearing weeds, brushing, and bucking tree's on my property. I wear a long sleeve shirt over a long sleeve tee, bib overalls, scarf around my neck, gloves,knee high rain boots, hard hat with face shield and scrub with poison oak soap immediately after...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Another Porta Potty Solution

    One thing I'm aware of is when in the backcountry "Leave No Trace" guidelines say one should be 200 feet from water sources for not only when answering the call of nature but also when washing dishes or yourself. I'm primarily a backpacker but these guidelines seem appropriate for dispersed...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The Wildlife Photography Thread

    All during the year there can be 12-16 doe and fawns around the house, but come Oct-Nov the bucks start showing up. Ordinarily we don't give the deer a second look and often have to shoo them off the deck or out of the garage, but we never turn our backs on the bucks during rutting season.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Has anybody had Four Wheel replace a roof?

    I had FWC re-skin the roof on my first (2003) Hawk around 10 years ago - the previous owner forgot to unlatch one of the front latches and tweaked the corner. At the time they were still using the 2 piece roof and they did a great job. The idea of a 1 piece roof sounds great as far as preventing...

    Unfortunately,I had to kill the rattler I saw a few days ago. My cat was casually grooming himself while the rattler was less than 2 feet away from him between my truck and garage. My cat was feral before he started calling our place home. He's a great hunter and he's gifted us with rats,jack...

    No argument there. Submitting a form comment letter is pointless. 10,000 form letter type comments basically counts as one. Being a very active advocate for the PCTA for over 15 years I'm familiar with the process.

    My blood pressure just went up seeing this. Sometime's you can barely hear them when it's perfectly quiet - throw in a little ambient chainsaw buzzing and forget about it!!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Saline Valley SPA Position Paper

    I'm pretty sure the palm trees at Scotty's Castle were planted and I've read that palms that have naturalized in other areas of the park are from seeds from those same trees. I'm in favor of just letting the palms live through their natural life cycle. I would be really upset if they removed the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Interesting weekend weather

    This one was just too close for comfort. I usually let them go off on their own but it's an uncomfortable feeling wondering if it could be hanging out somewhere in my garage or on my rig as this one was last week! Sorry to get off topic so I'll add that we went from 50* on Friday to high 80's...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Roof storage rack for Hawk

    Another thing to consider re: hitch storage is your turning radius on narrow off roads. Having an extra 18" or so front or back may prevent you from doing a 3 pt turnaround if the need should arise. Worse yet you'll crunch your carrier on a tree,rock,pole or another vehicle just backing up when...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Roof storage rack for Hawk

    I had the FWC factory install Yakima tracks on my old 2001 Hawk to carry my hard shell kayaks. No issues with the install but I quickly learned that loading and unloading 12' Wilderness Exp SOTs was very difficult for me. Although I was able to lift the roof with one kayak loaded( with a lot of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hawk cushions

    Not sure which cushions you need, but I have the back cushion for a rollover couch off my 2005 Hawk if you can use it. Only problem is I'm in Ca so you'd have to figure out how to pick it up. I'd try a marine upholstery shop first if you're looking for custom cushions.

    Chaco Canyon is always a must see for me. What general route are you taking and how far south will you go? Yes, Southwest Mexican food is incredible - the best taco's I had were from a food truck in Carlsbad NM -OMG, homemade tortillas!! BTW - what kind of pan is that and where can you buy one?

    Haven't been there since the mid 90s but Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab was one of my fav places. I was there in early May and was able to camp there without a reservation - don't think that's possible anymore. But, it's a great place to see just for the incredible views.

    I have the back rest/cushion of a rollover couch that you can have, but you'd have to figure out how to pick it up. It's a light gray color from my 2005 Hawk in good condition. Let me know if interested.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Bottle jack and air compressor recommendations?

    I like your skid plate mod. I usually count on the wheels of my jack sinking into the gravel to give it stability but it looks like you get a nice wide perch.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Bottle jack and air compressor recommendations?

    I have a Maasdam 4 ton bottle jack that fits in the OEM jack bracket on my '14 Tundra. I have a Viair 88P compressor. That being said I don't like using a bottle jack unless I'm on level pavement. I prefer using my 2ton aluminum racing jack that is stored where the rear seat used to be.

    I'm in the Casa Escalarta camp. I had the rollover couch and after trying out front and side dinettes at the factory opted to convert to the side dinette. We can climb into bed without having to re-arrange dinette seats or table. I generally get up first in the morning to get coffee going and I...

    Saw Kanekoa play last night in Grass Valley. Not exactly traditional acoustic Hawaiian music. Vince Esquire is such an amazing Uke player.
