    Ozark Trail "High Performance" cooler - any good?

    I was at WalMart and found this decent looking "expedition" type cooler back in sporting goods. I can't seem to find any information on it, it doesn't even appear on the WalMart website. The construction looks decent and it claims to hold ice for 7 days - not quite as good as the Yeti's...

    Tools for the overlander

    I want to put together an essentials-only tool kit for my XTerra. There are a number of metric sets available on the market, but I want to keep the weight down and carry nothing more than I have to.
