I've got one and really like the fit. The only problem that I have with it is that it doesn't have low side pockets for water bottles. If it had those it would be ideal. I noticed that the Z65 has...

Hey, no matter how you get there your final destination is still your front door!

I realized that on my second trip across the US on two wheels.

Contact this guy, he made one.

Well, that does sound appealing! :eek:

He's so short someone has to lift him over the edge of the DD-214 so he can read it!

Way to go!!

At least the NY kicker made up for his mistakes and now no longer has to fear for his life!

That's where I started to really appreciate the finer secrets of slow cooked ribs over a wood fire. There was a little place in between Shadyside and the Hill district that an old black man ran. I...

Oh yeah, I voted for Grits. Any day of the week it beats the other choices.

I see by the polls it places second. (sorry, but it is the political season here!) Bet you guys don't like boiled...

:bananaA good mustard and vinegar based Carolina Gold barbecue sauce beats any tomato based concoction that I've ever had! I can't help that you just don't know how to live!

Bless your heart. Hah!...

I have one that I cut a couple of years ago. I also use a cane tip. For the splitting problem at the tip I coated the inside and outside with epoxy and then wound the part normally cvered by the cane...

It's interesting that I stumbled on this thread today as well as another about carrying water. :-? I just finished an article about front water carriers yesterday.

Making Front Water Carriers
<o></o>
I just recently bought a new backpack. While it does have an interior pouch for a hydration bladder, it does not have side pockets for water bottles. I like...

I have been using a thin piece of bamboo for years. I just recently epoxy and thread reinforced the bottom because it had started to split. It's lighter than a freinds Leki poles!

We make eggs for breakfast like this in our troop as well. It is a first moring out thing. I wouldn't keep them unless you are in a cold weather situation. I also use a small plastic jar (used for...

1. Start shaving in the shower without a mirror. You get used to not needing a mirror.
2. Stop using shaving cream. It eats away the edge of your blades anyhow. Use regular soap.
3. Use a...

Last winter I was teaching my son about experiments. I made about 6 stoves: supercat, pepsi, redbull, and several others. We spent half a day testing each one in the fireplace. Controlled conditions...

After 25 years I finally replaced my Coleman Peak 1 black plastic frame pack. The frame is in great shape. No cracks or anything like that and I never babied it. The bag is about trashed. I had to...

Wookie,

Any way I could talk you into some pictures of this modification? :D

If you just want to keep the small critters out a cheap ($4.50) and fairly lightweight (11.9 oz) alternative is a clean paint can from Lowes. Just an option.

The original question was what to use with a tarp? At least that's how I read it. Anyhow last time I was out I cut a large (55 gallon) trash bag in half lengthwise and used that. Worked great, packed...

My problem has been possums. They've ripped up my screen porch to get to the catfood that hasn't been there for 4 months cause the cat died! I've washed the porch down three times.

PS. I also greatly miss Trailcast. I hope he is doing OK. I really thought he had a great interview technique.
