Hey there, after 10+ years the tube for my m416 popped. I went down to the tire store (actually a few) and the tires are so bad I need new tires. They can't get them, so I'm wondering what folks here do for replacement tires. I want to keep the stock wheels, just replace the tires. Thanks in...

http://www.wired.com/2015/07/secret-cold-war-maps/ Pretty amazing that the Soviet Union was better at cartography than the western powers. Given the details indicated in the article, finding these online and importing into a mapping platform would be a huge win for travelers in areas that...

Just wondering if this would be a good place to start for an expedition rig? Looks to be an older body style suburban with a diesel conversion. Good tires, plenty of power and an Allison transmission. Plus a wing... http://savannah.craigslist.org/bar/4150759539.html

So there are a lot of kits you can buy to have truly isolated dual-battery setups. Those are VERY NICE kits. They are also very expensive. I try and replicate those kits without spending as much money, while still having a similar level of quality and/or reliability. There are constantly...

Delorme finally released prices for their different tiers of service for the InReach... http://blog.delorme.com/2011/09/19/delorme-inreach-details-and-test-run/ When I read that I thought 'Ouch!' then I did the math for my SPOT Connect: SPOT $99 annual $50 for the tracking/messages So...

So, backstory: Many years ago, I had a great camp cup. It was about 16oz, had a nice thick base for keeping coffee/hot chocolate/water hot, and had measuring marks on the inside. I could just set it on my little MSR stove, heat up the water and use it for just about anything...very similar to...

Sears currently has a wicked online sale for the Diehard Platinum batteries...for $355, I can get a Group34 Starting battery (~$185) and a Group34 Deep Cycle Marine ($170). The sale ends today, so I gotta decide ASAP. These are going in my H3 (yes, they will fit)...At some point, I'll be...

Had to get away for the weekend, and Southwest didn't have any good deals, so I loaded up the truck and trailer and hit the road. My original plan was to explore some FS roads just south of Swift Resevior, but they were all closed due to active logging. It was getting late, so I just wandered...

I'm cheap and lazy, that means (in my own mind) I'm resourceful. Here's how to build a good-quality awning for less than $100. I was mostly drunk when I built this and it was dark so I forgot to take pictures. Keep in mind you'll need some simple/basic tools - hacksaw, screwdriver, beer...

Lenovo S10-3t, touchscreen tablet netbook. 10.4" multi-touch screen running Windows 7. Less than a year old, bought from Best Buy, then upgraded with extra memory and a lot of software. Was used for browsing the internet and for mapping in my car, has been all over the place, and has plenty of...

So, started getting sick of my current laptop, a Lenovo S10-3t, and decided to upgrade. It works great for a lot of simple computing, but really shows its weakness running photo editing software and flash video. HP was having a great sale on their touchscreen tablet laptops, so I decided to...

ok, so it's been 9 years since I bought my last rain jacket. It was a Columbia titanium, sealed seems, 100% waterproof, lightweight, not 'crinkley', lightweight, roomy enough to wear a fleece underneath, had 2nd zipper for just that. It's been all over the place in all kinds of conditions...
