I've been keeping an eye out for a truck the past few months. As much as I love my Jeep, I'm not driving that thing 8 hours to and from school a few times a year for the next 3 years. I've been mainly looking at first gen Tacomas, but holy shit are they expensive. Who is paying $12k for a truck...

What exactly is she struggling with? Anything specific or just driving a manual period?

Just got back from a 6 day trip with nighttime lows ~25°. Bag felt like about how it should for the rating and the only changes I made was a Western Mountaineering sleeping bag liner and stuffing my down jacket in the extra space at my feet as well as wearing a beanie which I stupidly forgot on...

Some pics from a recent backpacking trip. There is nothing like the high country in early fall.

Not 100% sure. A few people told me it was illegal and a friend had said he talked to a FS guy that said you couldn't shoot there anymore. But I can't actually find anything confirming that.

Yeah this range has been shutdown for a while, but the FS hasn't done much to enforce that. Last season I was going past it when some dumbasses were shooting steel with long rifles at ~20 yds and could hear rounds ricocheting all around the trail. We have a family friend who had a rig get hit by...

Ran Yankee Hill before classes today and the shooting range just pissed me off. Got as much trash out as possible but didn't have room for some of the bigger stuff and not sure what to do with the brass that's everywhere.

That brake line is about an inch away from an interesting drive home.

Yeah I completely get that people make mistakes sometimes and we shouldn't always be too judgmental, but this is just plain stupidity. I have no idea if CO 4x4 Rescue ever will charge for recovery. I'm much more familiar with the people side of SAR and I know that all Colorado MRA teams have a...

Those are the fucktards that make land managers shutdown areas. I hope they get charged for the recovery and fined.

Man, I barely got out this season. I can't believe it's already October.

If I was buying just for elk hunting I would 100% have gone with something like that. My highest priority though is my backpacking trips, so weight and ability to compress is a must.

I slept in base layers. The comfort rating is 26 degrees so I should've been more than fine in just base layers with the temps we were in. I've always been taught to sleep in base layers unless it's pretty damn cold.

Nemo Switchback. I bought it knowing I would be sacrificing warmth for weight with the lower R rating, but figured it be enough for most of my trips. For the one's it wasn't I was planning on getting a half length pad for my upper body/core area.

Recently decided to upgrade my backpacking sleep setup after 5+ years. Ended up buying a 15 degree Mountain Hardwear bag, and tested it out elk hunting this weekend. Nighttime lows were mid to low 40s. I wasn't necessarily cold, but definitely colder than I should've been in that bag. My guess...

On some of my winter treks this past season the absolute lack of preparedness was insane to me. "It's May and it was warm in town so I expected the trails to be clear and brought nothing but base layers and sandals". No we are gonna have snow up here for at least 2 more months. I went tubing at...

I was planning on doing a winch and making my wiring less ghetto before winter but that's gonna have to wait with elk season and some backpacking trips coming up. And now my serpentine belt is squealing like a pig. Probably just needs tightened, but I don't want to move onto another project no...

Yep. I love working on my Jeep but I'd like to move onto some actual projects, not just trying to change my diff fluid for the past week. At least it's just my diff and not something big.

Finally got the new bolts in yesterday and front diff cover came off no problem with that 50/50 mix. Fluid was pretty nasty but no metal or water so not too worried. Get started on the rear, and it's my lucky day, I stripped a bolt last weekend and didn't realize. And so this very simple project...

Yeah I have my doubts. She's not anti hunting at least. Some different world views will be good for me though. It'll be painful and annoying, but it never hurts to hear some new perspectives, even if they're wrong. Plus I get to figure out what the hell eco feminism is.
