You bagged more tenderloins, didn't you.

@lister said: Butane definitely has some benefits. It also emits heat which could be a plus in cold weather. And you can use it to cook. It also stores longer than batteries. I.e. its been in the ground for aeons and it still works.

Things that I can remember without looking: Dewalt tire inflator with a couple of spare batteries Dewalt impact gun for removing tire nuts X-shaped lug wrench tool box with assorted tools (for having when I visit my mother and something needs doing) 2x air pressure gauges first aid kit Jumper cables 2 or 3 battery jumpers coffee can with lid (for road sickness) toilet paper Dude Wipes 5 gallon bucket for whatever drain snake (again for my mother's house) small duffle of seasonal replacement clothing gloves USA road map book for going analog if I have to hidden cash hidden spare keys flashlights MT batteries to charge cell phones glass breaker bottle for emergency personal effluent I'm sure there is other stuff, but that's what comes to mind. Almost all of this goes in a plastic bin except for the tool box. Peace.

Can one of the admins delete this? I double posted. [image: 20260812_123727.jpg]

Well yeah, I never know when to stop. Thus I always pay the weight penalty...

Interesting, like these? Amok has a unique system, but they're a bit pricey. It's fascinating to see a way of sleeping that has been around for literally a thousand years evolve so quickly over the last decade due to its increased popularity. .ww.

Thanks everyone

It's planned, I've already thought about it, Farmer X Our trip will lead us until the atlantic coast. Our side of the atlantic Mussels with fries, oysters... and white wine of course

The ground is snow covered, so there is no way I'm going to find any twigs to get the fire started. [attach id=0 msg=2513237] Let see how it goes.

I vote for one of those fire extinguisher sized bear sprays. Hose the dam smurfs down and watch them transcend physical existence.

Seems like a great idea for a company that makes ligters. I have a Zippo lighter I try to carry all the time. Brushed steel or something My previous was with Venetian pattern It was smooth but the new Venetians are laser etched so they are scratchy Also have one of thier pockets hand warmers and it has been a big help when out clearing snow in -2 F temps

Being mandated by the HOA makes a little more sense. And truthfully, I'm in favor of anything that'll keep four-legged rats and other such vermin away.

@IMR4198 said: I try not to carry any tablets unless they are in their original packaging. Always a possibility of taking the wrong thing by mistake or maybe trouble at something like a traffic stop and shakedown. That's a valid concern. So far, my pocketable first-aid kit consists solely of my rescue inhaler. As accident-prone as I can be, you'd think I'd have enough sense to at least carry a couple-few bandages.

Sorry you missed out, but those sound like some great upgrades! Turning tighter alone makes a huge difference, as I'm sure does increased comfort. When people ask me what to look for in a kayak I tell them to find the best seat they can because they will be sitting in it for hours. Length, features, beam etc are all secondary to comfort. Def

Ron! I still haven’t used the Corona Razortooth that I got last year. Perhaps I’ll remedy that this summer.

@Farmer X said: Looking pretty sharp, G! However, hats are not my thing. I only wear them if they're mandated on a job site or it's below freezing outside. I have to admit I'm almost always in some kind of hat. Mostly a flat cap of some kind, but a few fedoras or trilbies too. Better than sunglasses IMO.

Well, I have a few fat old neighbours that won't put up much of a fight, so... I'm good!

The video was interesting.

Yes, it is very difficult to overcome those limits. (Especially so for first time or one time actions). I think of reaching two out of three, the two planned that is, as best possible outcomes. Such outcomes are far above the bottom line of slow, expensive and bad. Quite a few things seem to end up in the grey in between there.

Well, looks can be deceiving. Maybe they even got the cute looks to better deceive? Survival of the cutest. (I think that might actually be a thing? Most animal young ones tend to look all cute and fluffy). Reminds me of seals. Cute looks but bad fish breath, noisy barking, and not too shy about biting. Then again, seals likely don't think too highly about humans so maybe fair enough.
