Interestingly enough the Engel and Yeti of that style are almost identical. If you talk to Engel they saiy Yeti knocked them off and vice versa. I own the Engel and an Engel fridge. I'm not sure the either seal if going to stop a bear from smelling the food inside. There will be food scent...

Great lake. I Drove up that road years ago before the forest service shut it down. All I can say is that people not driving on it has made it much worse that it ever was. The big rock outcrop at the hard switch back was the tough spot. The rest of the trail was pretty tame. I'll have to...

The good thing about this trip we were on was it was a good mix of boys between 15 and 18yrs old so they were a little older than the average scouts. I wouldn't dare take 11-13yr olds up there. Lone Peak has a false summit that you come to first and then it is a 50 yd traverse accross a jagged...

So I took 7 boys up a 6000' elevation gain hike here in Utah (Lone Peak 11275') this week. I always bring instant pudding pre mixed with powdered milk to use as dessert on these outings as you just add water and throw it in the creek for a few minutes. I have been trying to teach these boys...

You just need to ask your supplier what vinyl they are using. My wife has owned an interior vinyl company for 6 years and uses Oracal 651. The stuff is good outdoors for 5-6 years. You can use Oracal 851 and it will conform a little better to auto bodies and last longer. I find that after a...

This was a great storm. We were driving back from Burley Idaho to Orem and watched this storm develope and hit. My wife wouldn't stop the car and let me snap some photo's. Something about wanting to get the kids home and ready for bed???

Paul is a stud. So is Kurt. I'm biased being in Utah.

I've got one in my back yard we use for my kids to roast hotdogs and shmellows on the saturdays. I'll have to take a picture. I basically cut a drum into thirds along the ridges in the can. I'd have the kids draw pictures on them and then I would plasma the lines. None of mine had bottoms...

As a frequent user of fire rings, old and new, I agree that most campers pay little attention to building good rings and leaving old ones better than you found them. When I take my scouts camping they have to do a clean sweep of the site to pick up trash before we set up camp and dig up and...

Great info. I picked up the SLR thing again to do a few things. First, my wife runs a home based business selling interior vinyl lettering. She has been doing it for 6 years and makes a pretty good side income with it. She needed higher quality pictures for her website, plus I can deduct the...

Thanks guys. I've thought about the 35mm 1.8. Both the 50 and the 35 get really good reviews. A few people have said that the 35mm puts you uncomfortably close to people when taking thier picture? I was basically just looking for a good quality, faster lens to start playing with. The only...

The Nikon 50mm 1.8 has come highly recommended and I found one used locally but the owner wants to sell the following together. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=10581393&cat=&lpid=4 I bought my D90 used a month ago and it came with a cheaper nikon 18-55mm dx lens. I have read good and...

We took a father and son up to Illiumna Alaska for 10 days with us on our anual float trip. The father had NEVER camped before(other than 1 night the week before in his back yard). I basically sent him a list of gear he and his son were going to need. Once we arrived in Illiumna we camped for...

I bought my 93 LC with 200k on it. I drove it for another 80k miles before I sold it. People thought I was nuts for buying a rig with that many miles, but I knew the previous owner and for the most part it had been taken care of. I could have kept driving it, but little things like the AC...

My bet is that the machine itself uses about the same amount of energy as is being saved by recycling the plastic bottles in the first place. I grew up outside Boston and my small home town did not have a dump, but rather a transfer station. Newspaper had to be separated from magazines, clear...

I've never been a fan of Topaz mountain. Even the pieces that friends showed me looked like very small pieces of glass. I've collected out there a couple times and other than a good time camping I didn't come away with anything too cool.

Last time I was there the backhoe had dug a 6ft wide x 10 ft deep trench that was literally solid geodes. Big ones the size of cantaloupe. There was a scout group there pulling them out as fast as they could until the hermit told them to get out. That trench could have collapse easily. We dig...

Are these the ones you bought: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/SCR0/04933.oap?mn=Scepter&mc=SCR&pt=N1646&ppt=C0370 These aren't the MWC version of the water cans. Not a bad deal, but lighter wt than the military version. I could not find the MWC online.

I've camped there before. Kids had a great time running around the rocks while i set up camp. My scouts are down in Goblin as we speak. Wish I could have gone, but I've spent 3 of the last 6 weekends in Moab and needed to get some stuff done today.

My 93 front Ring and Pinion was shot at 210k miles. Previous owner took care of it for the first 100k miles then gave it to his son who neglected the rig for the rest. New Spider gears, inner axles, birfs, bearings and R&P and it was as good as new....it was new really. I drove it for another...
