One of his best albums - Manassas is great but this is just raw Stills and his guitar (and dobro )!!

The OEM tank weighs 29lbs and I've read that the Transfer Flow tank is 150 lbs, so now your up to 270 lbs of extra weight. I'd also be concerned about how accurate the fuel gage will be. My '14 tundra tank holds 26 gals plus I carry an extra 10 gals when I think refueling will be an issue. That...

On my '14 Tundra/Hawk rig I'm running 70 psi rear, 60 psi front on E rated tires. My Firestone Ride Rites are at 30 psi. My local tire pro says running at 40 lbs with a load will overheat the tires. On a recent trip total weight for my Tundra, Hawk, supplies, and myself was 7920 lbs. Rando...

Canon for me too. I love my 5D3 coupled with Zeiss 21mm ZE 2.8 but that combo is almost 4 lbs. Can't believe I used to backpack with an F1/20mm back in the day. I-phone works just fine now as I've become a gram weanie. The 5D is pretty much for road trips and family gatherings. BTW, I enjoy your...

I'm in Grass Valley and also leave my "Hawk" outside. It leaked a little at the beginning of rain season last year so I resealed all of the screws that hold down the top where I thought it might be leaking and that took care of it. The same thing happened this week in a different area, so I...

2x Sven Saw - very compact, but the Curtis-Stebbins is cool looking and I'm sure very capable.

TR2 - great photo-documentary of your hike. Isn't it funny how different the thread is ascending vs descending ?! Keep on hiking!!

Just Googled cargo net storage and saw this company - looks promising! http://www.rigritemfg.com/pages/cargo_Nets.html

I've bought nets from various places. I think the net I used on my current camper is from organizedobie. The small nets on the inside of the cabinet doors worked fine but the wide net above the front window pulled in from the top and bottom in the center of the net. I contacted the company and...

Nice work. Glad you are liking the new arrangement. You might try an auto,boat, or furniture upholsterer or restorer to sew your seat covers. A local auto detail shop did my covers - used the fabric from my old seats so everything matches. Keep posting pics of your project!!

Our apt was 1/2 block below the pedestrian street where all of the Pinxto restaurants were. I don't remember any of the names of the places we hit. Generally, we'd eat and drink at 3-4 places per night and always try new places. I like that you can buy 1/2 pints of beer or small glasses of wine...

My idea is to just sew velcro to the leading edges of some type of flexible lightweight material to attach it over the length of the canvas. I'll want to pull the blanket off and roll or fold it up when I pull the top down. You mention warm window insulation- would a single layer of this...

Thanks for sharing your first hand experience working with Spaceloft. Watching the attached training guide the sheets look to be flexible and neither installer is wearing gloves or face masks. Is this the same material you've worked with ? But again, as you state just throwing an insulation...

We use a combination of our good old green enamelware plates and oval Chinet paper plates. I like the oval plates because they're not as tall( easier storage) and Chinet's are plenty thick. As much as possible we prefer to use our washable plates but sometimes it's just to cold to think about...

Thanks for the TR. Looks like you were having some fantastic meals. My wife and I rented an apt in Poble Sec and had pinxto's virtually every night - it was hard to wait until 11:00 to go out for dinner as it was the highlight of our evenings. We tried to see the Merce Castellers but found...

I've been interested in making an arctic cold weather pack too but haven't been sure what material to use that is light,flexible,and having sufficient r-value to make a difference. I recently discovered a product from Aspen Aerogel called Spaceloft. It looks very promising but isn't cheap. I'm...

Glad you made it out okay. Your description of the ford brings back those times when I'm cursing myself out and thinking why am I doing this!! Hope the Mrs is doing well!! Sometimes you have to be good to be lucky!

Fantastic pics !! Your images bring home the feeling of peace and awe that many of us seek. Thanks for the inspiring TR!!

So sorry about your loss - fortunately you were able to get out with your lives. We were evacuated one time and I didn't have time to load my Hawk- just the pets, hard drive, and bug out gear. Hope you get your lives back together as soon as possible!!

Thanks for the TR and pics - I haven't seen or heard of Confusion Hill. I'll have to seek it out next time in the area. I drove 36 early this year when 299 was closed around Weaverville. It didn't seem that bad to me but my memory is very selective these dayz.

Thanks for the info - Pine Lake CG looks like a place to consider vs Kodachrome. Like you, I'll be wishing I have more time to explore the incredible places that I know I'll be driving through. Great pics of your trip - can't wait to see it all myself!!

In 2004 corporations were able to repatriate billions of dollars under the guise of the American Jobs Creation Act. There is no evidence that more jobs were created. In fact the top 15 corporations that benefitted from this windfall cut 21,000 jobs in the following 3 years. The majority of...

More food for thought..hmmm! I don't want to drive both House Rock and Cottonwood the same day. If I knew I could camp at Stateline going northbound (after Lee's Ferry)I could hit Coyote Buttes in the AM and then drive up Cottonwood to Kodachrome. Stateline only has 4-8 campsites - are there...

Thanks- will check it out!!
