I looked through all of 5.11's shirts and only saw 1 button down and it was all cotton. I can find the proper material and color, but they all have point collars and that just doesn't make sense for an outdoor shirt. One gust of wind and you've got the collar flying into your face being...

I looked at that one but it is not a button down and it's 100% polyester. I've had trouble in the past with polyester becoming smelly if you can't run it through the washing machine. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

Does anyone know of a technical/travel shirt that looks somewhat like a normal shirt? I'm looking to replace all my shirts, but I'm not really keen on the shirts with a million pockets and zippers and in all the earth tones. What I'm really looking for is Rail Riders Versatac but in light blue...

We were supposed to drop by this morning, but didn't catch them and had to head back home early. Caught him after a talk on Saturday and he was a wealth of useful information. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

We will also be visiting happy hour then leaving for a meal as we are interested in trying some more local places so we'll be after 19:00 for sure... Maybe we'll run into each other at happy hour, who knows Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

What time do you consider dinner? As a southerner dinner is the noontime meal and supper is the evening meal, we will definitely stop by after supper for a bit of a chat. I'm only going on "internet knowledge" vs your actual knowledge. I thought you still had to clutch for every shift and the...

DiploStrat, So sorry about your troubles, but we saw that you did make it to expo. I don't have a starter but I brought a few of my favorite local to me brews I can bring by (if that's allowed, is that allowed? I'm a first timer). I know a good beer is sometimes the only immediate remedy...

They've sourced a modern BMW diesel. It will likely require ULSD and also DEF, I would bet on it if I had the money. Now, have they somehow gotten around the emissions systems and will deliver a non SCR/DPF, high sulfur diesel compatible vehicle if you buy one in Africa? Otherwise, I don't see...

Just want to say that we don't have much to contribute, but my wife and myself are keeping up with your posts. Your OJ podcast interview really inspired us to solidify our decision to go full time remote and we started slowly changing our lifestyle to accommodate. We hope to be on the road...

Multiple vehicles for 1 million km. I don't think anyone could expect a brand new vehicle to survive that long. They're testing in numerous different environments. This can all be found on the Grenadier website which, IMO, is relatively up front and open about their testing procedures. They...

No diesel for NA, and 2023 before it hits our shores. I would assume we might be able to see some press vehicles this time next year, but haven't heard yet. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

I can't agree with IFS being "more robust, more load carrying". If you're designing for #1 work truck and #2 off road, it would make total sense to have 2 solid axles. There's only 1 heavy duty American truck who uses IFS and they are well regarded as having the weakest front axle in the...

I see your point, and it makes sense, but I've had the understanding that this is a "work truck" first and foremost and "off-road truck" second. If they are targeting fleet owners, who need something that works out of the box and has the payload to do the work, I see why they might make those...

Hey now, I happen to enjoy my safari shorts and boots... Guys in the office just don't understand. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

I have to say I did get a little annoyed when the discussion drifted a bit off topic but, in hindsight i realized I was being a bit selfish and that there is generally something wonderful that comes out of natural, organic discussion. On that note About 4 years ago we had discussed traveling...
