    Yeti Coolers

    Iceecool/Galaxy are the same company but Yeti is unrelated unless something has changed in the last little while. I own the Engel 65Q cooler and like it. Yeti or Engel knocked each others coolers off depending on who you talk to. I left a watermelon and a block of ice in mine in my cruiser...

    Free pair of Mountain Khakis with a 3-year subscription to Overland Journal

    Received my code and my order is placed. I'm excited. I've never owned a pair of $80 dollar pants other than suit pants. I'm a $20 or less kind of guy. Generally i find them for under $10. And yes my wife makes fun of me.:victory:

    Free pair of Mountain Khakis with a 3-year subscription to Overland Journal

    Sweeeeet. Thanks Scott. I'm surprised you didn't blow through these faster. What is wrong with people. You know your going to renew every year anyway. Discount on the three year subscription and a pair of $80 pants, can't beat that.

    Free pair of Mountain Khakis with a 3-year subscription to Overland Journal

    I just stopped by Cabelas to figure out my size. There was a noticeable physical difference between a 32/30 (yes I'm short) in the Teton, Original and Lake Lodge pants. All seemed to run large on me. I'll end up with the 30/30 Alpine Utility if I get word I renewed in time. I'm excited.

    Free pair of Mountain Khakis with a 3-year subscription to Overland Journal

    The wife just told me to renew my Journal for Christmas. I told her about the 3yr/pants offer and she said "Merry Christmas" so the first thing I did when I got to work was renew. Hopefully I got in before it was too late. Now I need to stop by Cabelas on the way home and figure out my size.

    How many front receivers is too many? ;-)

    I have two receivers built into the front bumper of my 80 series. I've got the same on my 40 series. The pin goes through the bumper vertically or behind the bumper horizontally. I mainly use them for strap points. You can put the strap loop into the receiver and pin through it. I've...

    I've seen this powerful hand thing before. Wonder Twin Powers Activivate! Did either one form into an eagle or anything cool and fly away?

    First Aid kits suck

    A few years ago this happened to a guy in a Jeep up at one of the ski resorts. His was a moth. He drove himself down the canyon doing 90 and passing cars left and right in order to get to the hospital. He ran a red light and just about nailed me with my kids in the Cruiser. We found him at...

    Post your HDR pics!

    You all inspired me to try HDR. I didn't go crazy as I only had two brackets to play with. Sorry I need to start having my pictures hosted somewhere so they aren't thumbnails.

    Photo book printing

    Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited about putting something together. Premium paper doesn't seem to increase the cost at Blurb a whole lot.

    Photo book printing

    So my wife told me we needed to put together a photo album with pictures of our adventures over the last few years. She's thinking the Crafty cut paper type album. I'm thinking everything I have is digital so why not just have a book printed and bound. Then I can make one for each of the...

    Prime-time Television Episode Features Overland Journal

    Having been up the Shaffer in really heavy snow, I feel for your guys experience. After watching this episode I may need to sell my cruisers and take up something safer like knitting. It was like imminent death around every corner. I'm definitely updating my radio chatter to be more like the...

    Para Cord Belt

    I'll preface this by saying that I've tied tons of Paracord bracelets and even a leash or two. The thing that kills me is the fact that in most emergencies I've been involved in time was of the essence. Have you tried to untie one of these that has been on your wrist for a year? Dang hard...

    LC vs Trooper vs Montero

    I'd seriously consider availability of parts and familiarity with your rig where ever you travel. MPG should not be as much a factor. Yes it might be nice to have an extra couple grand for the trip with a rig that gets better milage but delay the trip for an extra few weeks to a few months and...

    Sleeping bags- Down vs. Synthetic

    I have a North face synthetic bag that I recieved when I was 11yrs old and getting into Boyscouts. After 26 years of heavy use is temps from -25F on up I have finally worn through the inner lining. Other than that it always served me well and kept me warm. Because of my growing family and...

    Utah Cruiser Expedition 2010

    My life has become so lame. Looks like you guys had a great trip Adam. The trust fall picture is classic considering the two guys Kurt had to trust. One guy likes goats a little too much and don't even get me started on the other guy.
