    I thought vehicles prices were supposed to drop with the banks getting pissy about loans

    Used trucks here in Michigan seem to be trending down. Hard to put numbers to it, but they seem to be selling way slow and prices are on the move. I think part of the stall is these dealers paid a premium for these trucks and don't want to take a loss. I think a few more months and they will...

    2 person sleep system

    After a bunch of looking I found that klymit sells factory seconds and refurbished items on ebay. I was able to get a refurbished double bag that is a synthetic bottom and down top that weighs 5lbs and a 2 person pad that weighs 3 pounds. It was just over 300 for both. So with pad, bag and...

    25 year old Indiana man rescues 5 children, including a baby, from house engulfed in flames

    This is the kind of hero everyone should aspire to be. Be risked his life when he didn't have to. The real question is how does he walk around with balls like that? Bowlegged?

    The reason for the hike is doubling as a scouting trip for a hunting trip in October

    2 person sleep system

    So I recently ordered a floorless tipi and have convinced my wife to do a short weekend backpack trip with me. She is not totally against roughing it but she is definitely just playing along to make me happy. With that being said I am trying to put together a decent sleep system for the 2 of...

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    I ended up buying a seek outside redcliff. Was a little more than I wanted to spend but I think it will be worth it. Waiting for now to get a stove. I hope to get one later this fall

    Man settle down! I will go look now. Sheesh. I heard canvas wall tent and the first thing that came to mind was heavy

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    I have looked at wall tents. The biggest downside I see is weight. I agree they are nice but you are stuck with car camping

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    Yeah I know. That Chinese shit sure is tempting. I would like to buy us made but the 600+ difference sure makes it difficult.

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    That is my front runner currently. Just trying to justify the cost at this point. From what I gather the hybrid rectangle is easier to pitch

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    Luxe has huge sales currently. Looked into them and lots of horror stories of claiming in stock but not shipping for months. And the whole made in China thing. There is some other brands on Amazon for 200ish with good reviews. I am sure it is no kifaru but the temptation of that shit is...

    I have heard of using tyvek but not washing it. That is kind of wild someone thought to try that.

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    Yeah just like everything there is no perfect solution. The lack of floor sounds terrible in my head but I stayed in a wall tent for a week and thought it was great. We just put a tarp down for a floor and had no issues

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    The sawtooth is definitely on my radar. Seems like it would be on the small side for 4 people and a dog or 2. The seek outside reddcliff really has my interest. A little bigger than the sawtooth. Probably a little heavy to carry to far from the truck solo but to split the load with a...

    Anyone have a floorless tipi tent?

    I have been working to get equipped to take my young kids tent camping. Nothing real crazy but ideally somewhere off the beaten path. I don't currently own a tent so that is gonna need to be a priority to make this happen. I will try to stick to the point here. I have been shopping different...

    Premium ar 15 barrels

    So after looking over the specs, a proof carbon is 25oz. A government profile barrel is about the same. What is the advantages of going with a proof vs using an lighter profile steel barrel?
