    Who thinks a quad bike (ATV) is a good prep as a patrol or bug out vehicle?

    I have a dual sport bike, 4x4 quad, 4x4 mini truck with factory lockers, XJ overlander, and CUCV overlander. If I had to pick only one vehicle, it would be the 4x4 mini truck. Road legal and practical (picked up a stack of solar panels 120 miles away), goes anywhere the quad goes (with similar...

    DeSantis calls Trump supporters 'Listless vessels'

    I think we should ignore the Republicant's primary circus and all vote for Newsom in 2014. Early and often, like any good democrat. Let's help them to drive this bitch over the cliff. Just make sure that you have a parachute i.e. long term self-reliance resources within you family and community...

    Two caveats: 1) Do not attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. 2) The fact that vultures are picking a carcass clean does not necessarily mean that they were the cause of death. There is plenty of provable corruption and malice in this world. Let's focus on...

    Diesel DPF Filters - Diesel Particulate Filters

    Second that. The days when a diesel engine was a valid premium option to get more grunt and reliability in a medium duty truck are OVER. If you want new, pick a gasser until you get deep into CDL B or A territory.

    Yes, I wish Trump would be so smart and unselfish to draw all the flack he can on him as the expected presidential candidate and then -in the eleventh hour- withdraw his candidacy and throw all his weight and followers behind another candidate that the left did not rake through the mud. As far...

    They animal control chick is annoying and not the sharpest tool in the shed but I have to take her side. Leaving a dog in a small box without water for an hour while he gets dinner and a smoke is just trailer trash selfishness. Getting in self-righteous arguments with the citing officer without...

    Seeking advice for pharmaceuticals in off-grid/wilderness med kit

    1) Please do not feel excluded by the armorpl8chikn filter. He just wanted to blow out some of the chaff, not knowing how much wheat SH has to offer. I remember you making well informed comments/suggestions on other medical threads. 2) I am not going to mess with Sched II stuff since I am...

    Seeking advice for pharmaceuticals in off-grid/wilderness med kit

    No worries. I am ultra-conservative with pharmaceuticals, ironically as a result of being borne by a Pharm D. We used to joke that you had to show up with your head under your arm to get meds from our mom. Dodging the bullet of Thalidomide was probably a big reason for her to be so tight-fisted...

    No. Just a leaking NG pipe/valve. Straight from The home owner's guide to fuel air explosives - suburban edition. How to create big balls of fire without the need for complex dispersion and timing techniques. Pro tip: If you smell mercaptan, GTFOOT, without creating any sparks.

    Driving to Alaska repeat.

    I just called the RCMP department responsible for the ATT and left message asking how US residents can legally transport a handgun like 10mm semiautomatic or 44mag revolver through CAN for wilderness hiking, etc. (Note that self defense against humanoids is not an acceptable reason for being...

    Driving to Alaska repeat.

    Interesting coincidence. I did more route planning this morning plus some research to decide whether to visit Glacier NP on the way to AK or when coming back. I am also interested in taking Frank's class. I currently live very comfortably in a 36' diesel pusher RV while establishing a new...

    The label "houseless" misses the problem completely. Many of these individuals have family that could house them but don't because of the asocial behavior stemming from drug addiction and psychiatric issues.
