    Bad weather camping (long post)

    This past weekend, I did some foul weather camping and I thought I'd pass along a few observations, tips, hints, etc. In case they might help someone in the future. I knew ahead of time that the weather would not be ideal. But carried on anyway, for 2 reasons. One; I pay attention to the...

    Land anchor

    Have any of you built or used a land anchor for recovery? I'm going on an overlanding trip to the Outer Banks of NC in March. Although I will be with a group of other capable offroaders, I thought it might be wise to have a land anchor for use in the sand. We will be traveling and camping on...

    Beautiful day.

    Went to the junk yard this afternoon. The sun was out and temperatures were at the very top of the "constant nose running" range. So I decided to check out the new inventory. Mostly interested in stuff for the F250. They have a nice 2003 F250 and a 2002 F350 that I could probably harvest white...

    Seatbelts, people. Wear 'em!

    This happened at my local ORV Park yesterday. I was at work instead of playing. As the Jeep rolled, the roof panel popped off and the driver flew out. Everyone is OK. The park requires seatbelts to be worn and has many signs posted as a reminder. Buckle up, Buttercup!

    I still have the double din stereo head unit and 6-CD changer from my 97F150. Just pay shipping from zip code 29385. I gave the wiring diagrams away with the truck. But you could find that info. I originally took it out so I could put in a display unit for navigation. Worked when removed. I left...

    Maybe I should learn half a dozen languages.

    I listed my Fun50 (F150) for sale on FB Marketplace this past weekend. But I also live on busy road, just 2 miles from the county landfill. So far, I have mostly had Ukranians and Hispanics asking about it. A few minutes ago, a Latino man stopped and I quickly learned that when he started...

    An observation.

    So I got up later than I had hoped this morning, thinking, "All I have to do is" get my allergy shots, load the truck for the trip to Carlisle and get on the road. No problem. I still decided to cook a meaningful breakfast. That way I won't really need to eat again until this evening. But then...

    2002 F250 diesel - discovery and build thread.

    So I found a truck on FB marketplace that I'm interested in as my new tow vehicle to replace my Fun50. It's a 97 F350 crew cab, diesel. I'm assuming that would be a 7.3l powerstroke. But he doesn't say in the ad. 240k miles. Looks great in the pictures. Seller says "has electrical problems...

    Holy Tire, Batman!

    Some days, you just can't win. I got a big screw in my tire in the "not so fun50" the other day. I actually found it just before my LBL trip. So, tonight, after work, I decided to put the spare on so I can drive it tomorrow. Upon further inspection, there are 2 foreign objects stuck through this...

    Land Between the Lakes, KY

    Tomorrow brings to a close a trip I made to Land Between The Lakes, KY to get a feel for the area and try to find a campground for our fall adventure. While the TRS Staff cogitates over my findings, here is a little bit of what I saw. This area is beautiful and offers things to pique almost...
