    kids sleeping

    Have you considered using an overquilt instead of a sleeping pad? There are a few companies that make them to order and can add a sleeping pad sleeve to it. The pad is really want does the insulating on the underside of you anyway so a quilt works just as well, easier to get a kid in and out as...

    Recoating powder coated metal

    I would have to agree. While I do have a full paint, ceramic, and powder setup....each has a time and a place. This isn't really the place for the paint. For what it will cost to just have is stripped and coated the right way, it wouldn't make sense to paint it. You will spend far more money...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    This is what stays in my truck for a truck gun while I am on a trip. Meets all federal standards for lengths. This is the bear/moose defense gun, works decent for birds if they are close. As far as a gun for survival uses I keep an AR7 in the back. Always have my carry piece as well which is an...

    How do you transport your fishing rods?

    Put them in a PVC tube with an end cap glued to one end and a threaded cap on the other end. drill a hole through the cap, run a wire through and attach it to main tube. Put a lock on it and bolt it to your bed.

    Recoating powder coated metal

    So to answer a few questions here, as this is what I do for a living. A) The best course of action would be to stop in and see your local coater, have them chemically stripped, outgassed, blasted, zinc primed, and then top coated. If they are just something like 2" angle iron, expect to spend...

    Most popular stove's used in Overlanding

    I have seen questionable reviews on that. I mean the noise really isnt horrible. Yeah it sounds like a jet engine, buts its not on for all that long of a time. I figure MSR knows what they are doing, they are arguably the best backpacking stoves on the planet, if they didnt put it on the stove...

    Most popular stove's used in Overlanding

    I personally prefer to use my MSR Dragonfly, well actually two of them. I have a Coleman dual fuel as well but its just big, and bulky. I love the ability that I can run my MSRs off basically any liquid fuel I can find. Its also extra handy that its fully serviceable in the field and they pack...

    FS: Fuel Can Carrier, Hitch Mounted.

    Since I now have a truck I am going to sell my hitch carrier I built to hold fuel cans. The carrier holds (4) 20L Scepter jerry cans. You can put either all gas, all water, or mix and match. The cans all fit snug in and can be locked to the carrier with a chain. To solve the rattling issue all...

    What's the fastest +12volt pump for airing tires up

    Something to think about is mounting it under your truck to the rails then have a piece of steel bent up as a skid plate for it. That will protect it from hitting it on anything and it a simple piece to make with a break or a metal worker

    Why are you only filling your tank to 125? Is it not rated for higher or do you have a low pressure switch?

    What's the fastest +12volt pump for airing tires up

    A 5 gallon tank filled to 200psi would fill tires extremely quickly. A friend of mine fills his 33s off a 3 gallon tank in under a minute each. There are different types of 5 gallon tanks. I personally run a fatty in my jeep which is short length wise but large around. There are also skinnies...

    What's the fastest +12volt pump for airing tires up

    Which is why twin zenith compressors and a 5 gallon tank will be superior. The price of the ARB portable kit is more than the cost of 2 OB2s with a 5 gallon tank. That will greatly out preform the ARB twin setup. They are built like tanks and will far outlive an arb setup. The is a reason these...

    What's the fastest +12volt pump for airing tires up

    I believe that setup is very expensive and only has a 1 gallon tank with it. Overall speed and efficiency would be better if he did a zenith with a 5 gallon tank. The bulk stored air makes things a breeze. He also will have the added benefit off having a holding tank he can fill and remove from...

    What's the fastest +12volt pump for airing tires up

    The Zenith is much less expensive and you are talking one compressor rather than 2. If you add 2 of those OB2s you will have plenty of air. Mate it with a 5 gallon tank somewhere in your cargo space and you will fill them up in no time. Especially if you buy a 200 psi tank and you run 3/8s line...

    What do you use for measuring cups?

    While I know this probably belongs in the cooking section this area gets way more views. What I am looking for is a metal measuring cup that is graduated with liquid measurements that is also safe to cook in at the same time. I have found aluminum dry measuring cups but no where is it...
