Candlepower forum is THE place for info on any lighting related question. (Copied from there) A Philips Xtreme Vision H7 (top pick among standard-power H7 bulbs) would give higher beam peak intensity without exceeding the regulated maximum luminous flux of the H7 bulb category. In addition...

I picked up a Czech military surplus rubberized pack and used heavy duty Velcro cinch straps to attach it. I usually have my tree and recovery strap inside the hub of the spare and held with the same straps holding the pack but they were soaking in a bucket when I took the pic. Cheap, water...

The DeWalt has proven it's worth several times. As part of a system they really shine. In addition to the saw I have their battery operated fan which is awesome and will run through the night a light, and their compact 4.5 in. grinder with a selection of cut off,sanding,and wire wheels.Tying...

Big fan of Ridgid toolboxes from Home Depot. Stackable, lockable, o-ring seal, heavy duty bail handles on the side that also serve to lock the stacked boxes together. I keep them loaded and up on a shelf ready to go. I modified them by burning holes with a soldering iron and using shock cord...

My wife likes taking early morning strolls by herself but since we were in bear country the kids weren't letting Momma go alone. My son carried a bat/ flashlight and bearspray and my daughter had her pink Mora. Just ready to kick ass. My wife had bear spray and my 10mm Glock.

Kids thought I was nuts when I told them "We're driving into the desert, grab your swimsuits" :)

Returned via S. Dakota because my kids love it there. Stopped at Wall Drugs before heading into Badlands but noticed a weird noise....Sheared 3 studs and a 4th sheared trying to remove the nut. Was able to scavenge some studs and lug nuts off the spare tire carrier and a local kid came by and...
