    The "Dual Saw"

    I was watching TV last night and darn if I almost bought the Dual Saw. Looks like a great little saw, I remember seeing it on Pitchman. However when I added up the total cost, I'm not so sure it's really worth it. Perhaps someone else knows of a cheaper and/or better alternative saw: 3...

    Does your spare need to be the same size?

    I thought this may have been discussed before, but nothing turned up with my searches. Looking into getting a set of new BFG TA KOs (285/75/16) at $185 per tire. I'm trying to save some money on the spare and I hate dropping another $185 for a new 5th tire as the spare. Can I get away with...

    Ratchet Straps - Need some good ones

    Anyone recommend some ratchet straps ranging in lengths 6 to 10 feet or so?

    Hydration Bladders

    Does anyone have a source for hydration bladders larger than 3.0 liters? I'm looking for a bladder in the 6-8 liter range. With the benefit of my morning coffee, I realized I could just carry a second 3 liter bag. However I need to check my new pack to see if that's a possibility. Thanks.

    Photo Scanner Options

    I did a quick search and I don't believe this has been previously discussed. I've got boxes of 35mm negatives and prints which I would like to scan and save to my PC. What would be more economical and time-saving: purchase a scanner or send the negatives and prints off to a service and have...

    During my ongoing research of installing either a laptop or tablet PC into my 4Runner, I found this write up on the installation of a mini PC in a Jeep Wrangler. Though it appears to be a bit cost prohibitive for me at the moment, some of you might benefit from the write-up for your future...
