Sierra Ancha's Foothills.

Here is how much light I typically have when camping with the trailer: This was taken last Friday, just before we had dinner. Afterwards, it was lights out for all but the fire. This is more light than I typically have while tent camping, and only because I wanted the cool "lit up tent at...

When tent camping, I use LED string lights over the tent, and a couple of small electric lanterns for food prep. Always carry a flashlight, headlamps irritate me. Dark Sky is good sky. Using the camper, I often only use the small electric lanterns inside and outside. I will sometimes put a...

Also, I finally got a response from support regarding the random route selecting. Their answer is that the mapping must be missing "bits" going through Pocatello, ID. Unfortunately for them, it is an easily reproducible bug and not just in Pocatello. Support response did say they would be...

Yeah, sorry, it is 32GB. I totally get that having more is better, however, having more than the minimum requirements should be adequate, as in the GAIA stated minimum is 4GB. I don't think the memory is really the issue, it is the power consumption when using the app, which is why I limit the...

I am up for annual renewal on GAIA. I really like the different maps/layers and I use it often when route-finding and creating routes. The problems I have are: 1. Website application: buggy as hell. crashes randomly and when drawing routes on hardtop, the "snap to track" feature wants to...

Thanks, SDDiver. Normally, the snap to route works just great, if there are no intersecting routes ;-). GAIA also has horrible memory/power usage on my tablet that I use in the truck. Over the course of say 4-5 hours driving, I can literally kill the tablet battery, despite being connected...

I'm getting frustrated with GAIA's website. I really like the layered maps and the ability to share files between Android/Windows devices and I like to draw out road-trip routes that can include all types of roads. I use the website to draw these tracks, because it's easier to do on a 20 inch...

Naw, I got the point. Maybe you should have read the entire post/comment.

Think Router.

Oddly, I drive a SxS, but have never hit 60 in the dirt, either in a "caravan" or solo, but I have seen full-sized vehicles traveling too fast for conditions as well. So, I'm-a have to disagree with the "fast transit" approach being only ATV's and SxS's. If you go too fast, no matter what sort...

I've had my share of fails - sometimes my steaks can be a bit crusty and rare - hard to see with no light. Once I forgot the grill entirely on a quad offroad adventure. Found a nice rounded piece of granite in a nearby stream and cooked that in the fire for a few hours to make a griddle...

Wow. Here we are going on almost seven years later - for my follow-up report :-). Both containers have worked awesomely for the past seven years, and in fact, look almost new. I use them all the time, in fact, my daughter took the 20L to Coachella for the festival. Haven't modified them at...

Oh, man, this. Heck, mine is a 2012 and it's still too tall for me to get into the bed without a stepladder. I will admit to some mods thought - a bolt on bike rack for the MTB, a plastic trash can for firewood, airbags and what I feel is a tasteful collection of stickers :)

I lost a hat once, well, actually my wife lost it entering an anchorage on a local reservoir. It was a custom embroidered hat that said "Admiral" and was quite unique. It was a gift to my wife. Anyway, a gust of wind blew it off and before I could get astern with the boathook, it sunk. Being...
