What do you do with the food at night? Hang everyone's packs?

Have you chosen a route? Is it the hiking trails north of the west end of Hwy 60? (click for map)

Re: Hello from Kent, England...

Welcome. I figured Kent. G.B. in your info. meant that !

I was born near London, but arrived here at age 2.

For now, I certainly cheer for England in the World Cup.

Re: Winter Camping

This is something I've wanted to get into for a while - in my avatar, the snow pile was a quinzee earlier in its life :P . I've canoed all over the park - not the middle though, the lakes are annoyingly big. I'm not sure about my availability yet, but just in case... What will you likely bring? (Wha...

Re: Winter Camping

Let's hope for a month of blizzards. I've had it with one BS winter after another.

I love all seasons, but not all ground conditions - slop should be banished. Give me "snow" or "grass", nothing in between.

Re: new calmini winch bumpers for r50 pathfinders!!!!

I got a Staang's Fab front bumper on my 2nd gen Xterra and I love it! Eric(owner) is great to work with and this bumper is strong and built very well. I just bought a rear bumper from him. It's not painted and installed yet, but it does seem to be good work. ... nothing like keeping things local - ...

Re: New Rear Bumper?

What do you guys think about the fact that the brackets and the bumper bolt together? I've been looking at a lot of bumpers recently and this is the only one that is built like this. Every bumper and almost every hitch I've seen has the brackets welded onto the member that runs parallel to the axle....

New Rear Bumper?

Hi everyone, I need your advice about a product. Please don't hold back, thinking that "of course, he would know that..." ... 'cause I might not. I need to be able to tow once in a while, but I might as well get a new rear bumper instead of a hitch, right ;) I would just bedline it. I've b...

Re: Logging in from Work

Thanks guys.

I doubt I'll get to the command prompt; I was shocked the first time I realized I could get the task manager, but I'll try.

When that doesn't work, I'll remain hopeful and check back once in a while, hoping that the offending files have been let go.

Unfortunately trying it at work would be a pain. Work is IE only. I could install Chrome, and if it worked, be tempted to install Chrome every da...
