    Nuclear survival guide in PDF form

    With a recent war and rumors of war, I thought this might be appropriate. Feel free to add (positive) content. Ideally, have it printed before an event and maybe have some of the preps done.

    Comm gear surviving an EMP, any ideas?

    What are the options available for protecting our communication gear from an EMP event? How can we (or is it even feasible) protect gear like repeaters? How about our mobile rigs? I am sure we could protect out HT's in a case like mission darkness provides. Any thoughts on protection? I am not...

    Portable solar setup

    I have recently upgraded my solar setup. One reason was I forgot my old panel on the roof and it flew off and a prius ran over it. I bought a meter to see if it was still putting any power out and found three of the four panels dead. I did a little more research before buying the identical panel...

    Making a steering box guard

    I am not sure if I have posted details of the projects I do on our Jeep. I make most of the stuff I put on the TJ. My job requires me to make and fix a lot of stuff, so I have a lot of unusual tools. One is a CNC plasma with all the design CAD and CAM software. Here is a small project I did...

    PSC hydro assist install

    This is just some pics and details of my install of a PSC assist kit. This is not necessarily the correct or only way as mistakes have already been made and addressed.

    Abbreviated Savvy mid-arm kit questions

    I am not commiting but rather asking if this is the way to go. I already have a "lift". It has been outboarded, long armed, body lifted, etc. It has a RE LA kit. Not bad but the "satisfaction" I hear from Savvy mid arm users is, well, beyond what one would expect from a "short-er" arm kit. I am...

    Arizona Jeep rental in Sedona

    Last week, the family and some friends went to Sedona to vacation. Normally, I would take my TJ and hit the trails. We had one to many to fit in the TJ so we decided to rent one when we got there. I had contacted jamison for some trail info and he asked if I knew Kmas0n (a member here) had a...

    Guiding the post Covid reality

    I’m hoping to stir some ideas regarding our return to the new normal. if we let the left and socialists guide us, it will likely never be normal again. Sorry, a guy pretending to be a girl is not normal. Blacks beating Asians is also not normal. Lies should never become normal. what...

    Garmin vs. Gaia, opinions and experience please

    About a year ago, I gave up on Garmin. Their update a year ago, pretty much left off roaders out to dry. Garmin has great support for "street level" nav, but trail building and mapping through basecamp is no longer intuitive or useful. I bought a old iPad mini (w/cell capability) and have been...
