I've worn the wigwam, smart wool, and REI, but I decided on Lorpen. My heals make quick work of cotton socks, and wool socks last much longer for me, but over the past year, I have been switching between 4 pair of Lorpen T2W's. Wearing them over and over, every three days is wash day. I wear...

I see it can ft in a container, but with no rear door, how do you get out? Do you just ride in the container with it? :D

We load the K-Line ships here (roll on-roll off type) I get to see some nice rigs coming in and out. When are you heading out?

Welcome back to the game brother... Push a little further. A little at a time.

ER shipped out today on the ship "Canadian Highway" at about 1700 local time... You can track it here...to an extent. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/default.aspx?mmsi=352718000

A couple thing I noticed in this set of pictures of a 2009: 1. While it looks very similar to the new 2012 interior, That Sat nav in the dash wasn't offered untill this year in the Tacoma. 2. HAND BREAK! I really wish I had that in the Tacoma 3. It appears to be a manual 4x4 engagement lever...

Just want to add a quick tip before heading to bed. Keep warm water in a thermos, or an insulated nalgene bottle. Its a lot easier, and uses less fuel to use that fresh snow when putting it into warm water already. Batteries should be stored close to the body to stay warm...not against the...

Scott, Did you ever nail down your packing list? Would love to see your final decisions and why...

This beauty showed up today at the Galveston TX port. I didn't check to see where you were shipping her, but I will post when I load her on the ship. (PS, I had to close the vent on top. All drawers/ doors/ and switches in back were still untampered and taped off)

Build still in holding status. Have found a permanent job in Galveston. Build will be starting back up within 6 months...fingers crossed.

Thank you. The build is on hold right now, as I am currently in Richmond Va. Helping my brother get a construction company up and running.

Fingers crossed!

I was issued this somewhere around 1999 or 2000. http://www.marathonwatch.com/assets/u/ww194006l.jpg I have only taken it off for a one month stint to replace the rubber watchband that finally gave way in 2009. It survived many countries and several engagements, but the crystal is still...

Scott, I like your list so far. I would like to add my 2 cents. I agree 100% on the mukluks. http://wiggys.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=41 is a good start. I would also recommend a mukluks that has 2 sets of liners, so you can swap them out every other day. I found the " bunny" or " Mickey...

I agree with TACODOC on this. MRE's have made leaps and bounds in the past couple decades. I remembering chipping a tooth on a dehydrated beef patty...man that was a nasty meal. But nowadays they taste and pack better. I usually strip them down further to get rid of the stuff I don't need. They...
