As has been stated, These buggers are heavy. I bought 4 of them at auction a while back and sold two to pay for the two I kept. I have one in my m416 trailer and like it but it is heavy once I get everything in it.

Took the kids on a drive today and snapped a few pictures. Really not happy with the sharpness of the pictures but at least I got outside to take pictures instead of being at work. I just picked up a Nikon d7200 to upgrade from my d90. The first two pictures are with a Tokina 11-16 and the...

I sleep better in my Henessey Hammock than I do in my bed at home most nights. If your angled right in the hammock you can sleep on your side without bending funny. I find that i sleep on my back and never have much need to roll around. I've slept in my down to 5 degrees F. with a thermarest...

Kurt, I'm like you and end up with a bunch of SD cards. I've been using some Samsung class 10 16gb cards. they are waterproof and a littel tougher than normal ones. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Flash-Memory-Brushed-Metal/dp/B005TUQVR2 Up to 24 MB/s read speed and 21 MB/s write speed...

I have built8-10 PTAC uppers guns over the last two years. Each has less than 1000 rounds through them but they have done just fine out of the box. They aren't tac drivers but do as well as most $7-800 guns out there. The biggest issue with the PTAC kits are the triggers. You can literally...

I just ordered some of the Super Cap Seal off Ebay. We'll give it a try.

mmmm just picked up a 16" dutch oven. Can't wait to try it out on a big group meal.

Thanks Martyn. I'll look into the Bulb Seal as well. Everything in the world is adjustable if it's the right answer.

Thanks Brian. The outer edges probably help keep the everything nested together well.

I used a cheap 1/4" thick 3/4" wide adhesive tape gasket on my m416 lid. It's pealing off and being pushed out constantly. I used to use 3m VHB tape in a former business and remember having to use an adhesive etcher/promoter to bond to unpainted aluminum. Has anyone had any luck with any...

Several years ago when the LCI cans were even cheaper than they are now I did some experimentation with using them for fuel. Here is what i posted back in 2010. "i've got both the Scepter and the LCI cans and they are very close. Finish on the LCI cans isn't as nice as the Scepter, but they...

A couple shots with a borrowed Sigma 70-300 macro this last week. This was my first time shooting with a macro lens. It was fun.

The trip to Grand Teton National park last week was rewarding. Got to play with my new Tokina 11-16. Plus we had a little fun too. That's me piloting a boat of boy and Men that had never been white water rafting. Love the faces.

AS someone who has witnessed an FJ40 being towed off the trail on a ball mount, I can say that it doesn't take much. You hit that 15° with other twists and factors very quickly. An FJ40 will do significant damage to the back of a regular pickup and take out the winch on the 40. When it...

it's funny. I work across the and have bought tons of stuff from them over the years. They send out a "sale email" to locals when they have the monthly refurb sale in the warehouse and somehow I never get it. I have given them multiple email addresses and still nothing. I end up seeing the...

Thanks Kurt. Other than the lift shocks for the lid, wheels and adapters and a few odds and ends- most of the stuff came out of my hoarding piles in the garage. Sometimes it's good to be a hoarder.

I guess it is time for another update on my progress. The lid turned out pretty nice, but I need to get the next larger size of Destaco Clamp to hold everything closed more securely. It's 1.5 x 3" Aluminum Tubing with a couple 1" Square tube supports. Pretty much scrap I had kicking around...

I work across the street form Goal Zero. I got a screaming deal on several original Sherpa 50 and 120's. They have done a recall on them since they were catching fire. Two of mine melted. They swapped everything out for brand rev.2 Sherpas so I ended up with several. I still have two Sherpa...

nice. I used a couple sherpa 100's and a Sherpa 50 last weekend but was disappointing in that they overheated in the truck. No idea how hot it got in there but we were in southern Utah and it was sunny. I had them plugged into a Nomad 27 and they were running my Engel 45 fridge. Does your...

Nothing wrong with Hoarders....I resemble those remarks.
