Bargain bridging ladders Howdy all, I submitted a post back in July, 2011 about my use of the Marsden Matting for sand mats and temporary bridges. While somewhat heavy (approx. 28 lbs.each) they are VERY STRONG and VERY HEAVY DUTY. They suited my purpose and they were quite cheap. I hope...

Yes, I carry a gun! Howdy all, Well, although I've never been "accosted" by a "raiding party" or any "injuns" for that matter, I have had a few incidents with drunken "white men". I can tell you that a .45 on your hip does wonders to change the odds to your favor (both psychologically and...

Off-road lights Wow! I guess I really am old! LEDs, HIDs...I run two lamps: CibieOscar+ 190s about grill high (off-road), one...

Pinz 710M Howdy, Sorry that I am so late in a reply to your post, I just came across it this A.M. I too, have a 710M, and was wondering if you still had yours. While I am not in a position to purchase another at this time, I would be very interested in learning about some of the mods you...

Howdy all, Well GREAT! Just when I thought that I might be getting ahead a little bit, something comes up that I've just got to have. Years ago I had a Rem 700 Sendero in .300 Win Mag with an awsome Leuopold scope on it. (Got tired of it beating the hell out of me so I dumped it.) I also...

Sand ladder mounting Jim, I too, checked out the products from Okoff-road, especially their aluminum sand ladders. But... after figuring in the shipping, I decided that I couldn't afford their stuff. I was able to get the Marsden matting from a military surplus place about an hour drive...

Sand ladder mounts Howdy, I sometimes carry two off the Marsden type landing mats on my Pinz. They're kinda heavy but they work (5' long by about 15-18" wide-steel). Try to Google "4xRAC Hi-Lift Jack Mount". That's what I use to carry them on the flat sides of my Pinz. Hope that...

Pull Pal or Hi-lift? Howdy, Just thought I'd put in my $.02 worth. In my "EDC" toolbox (among other things) I carry a 12oz. ballpein hammer and a 2lb. sledge. Now, I don't always use them when I go out, but the peace of mind they afford me is well worth the inconvience they carry with...

Howdy, That is a SWEET Springfield! I've been carrying a 45 XD for several years now; since I'm in Calif. I can't get the XDS but am very happy with my standard XD (kinda wish I could have more than 10 rounds though). I really like the Springfield mag pouch but I've found that a Blackhawk...

Honda Pilot Howdy all, Unfortunately, last year I totaled my "07 2WD four-doorTacoma (great truck!).Since it was my wife's primary veh. I HAD to find a suitable replacement. We figured that since our needs had changed (grand kids and all), we needed to find something with a little more...

1911 or ? Howdy, Just thought I'd throw in my $.02, hope you don't mind. I have had a CCW permit for approx. 20 yrs and have been carrying (full-time) since my return from RVN in 1970. I never thought that I would give up my 1911 until I met my Springfield XD45. I have owned (and carried)...

Strap and Crap Just thought I'd put in my $.02 worth. While I can see the humor, I can also see the practicality of the idea. Having had both of my knees replaced with "man made materials" because of an "incident" some 40+ years ago while an active member of the USMC, squating for me is very...

Howdy! Those do look great, I would even consider carrying some of those with me in addition to my runway matting.They look like they are very light and highly usefull. I will continue to carry the steel mats though as they can be used to bridge the deep, narrow gullies that I sometimes...

Snow Chains Howdy all, I lived in the San Bernardino mtns. for ten years and, while a good set of snow tires and four wheel drive will get you a long way, sometimes you just need chains. What woked best for me was a set of "V-bar" chains with another set of cross links mid-way in between the...

I like Ruger 10/22s! I too, must have a sickness; I keep acquiring more and more 10/22s. I presently have a standard mdl. in blue, a standard mdl. in s/s, a compact mdl. in blue, and a Manlicher mdl. in blue. Now the question is: which comes next-the take down mdl. in s/s or the tactical mdl...

Bridging ladders I also like the Marsden Matting-really heavy duty! I posted a small article on this forum back on 7-15-11 if you would care to see. Cheers, Stevo

Old style propane tanks Well, thanks to all for the info. Not having used bulk tanks before, I was very apprehensive. Thanks again. Cheers, Stevo

A few months ago my uncle died and his wife has given me some of his camping gear. I have some questions about some of this stuff and was hoping to find somekind of answers pertaining to it. My biggest concern is about three propane tanks-two are the 5 gallon size and one is a 3 gallon size (I...

Roof mounted lights? First off let me say this, I do not claim to be an expert at anything although I have been off-roading since I bought first baja bug in 1972. I have had 4x4 mini trucks, full size trucks, s.u.v.s, suzi sammies, quads, most everything. I have had long-range, fog, and flood...

Carry two spares? Several years ago I was in some far off spot in Arizona when a very sharp piece of scree cut a large gash in the sidewall of my 31-10.50x15 radial. As luck would have it, I was on a one track road going up the face of a mountain to check out a mine. Since the road was so...
