I've only used one once (recently). My search led me to conclude best bang for the buck is a BearVault. Lightest weight but far more expensive is the Bearikade. There are others in between, but for me, it came down to those two. I ended up just renting a Bearikade, as I don't foresee...

I've had a couple just like that lately too. Kind of boogered up the threads on a regulator trying to make one of them go. - DAA

I have two, the newest and smaller of which is 16 years old now and is probably the size you are looking at, it's the 7x8 model. I have a lot of nights in it, 16 years at around 35-40 nights a year. Has seen it's fair share of wind and weather in that time, still going strong, still keeps me...

Canon calls it dual pixel CMOS AF. Each pixel on the sensor has two photodiodes so the pixels can be used for both phase detection AF and imaging simultaneously. It's of no particular interest to me, but everyone says the 70D does AF in video mode quite well. You can even use the touch...

I can't remember the actual number. But they basically told him to piss up a rope on any kind of a deal. He didn't pay full sticker, but not much under it either. He shopped around for a few months too, even ordered one but then got boned on a switcharoo. In the end, to get the truck he...

My best friend has that exact truck. Same color even. It's nice! My only beef with it - and the double cab off road TRD specifically, is that teeny tiny bed. It doesn't hold much more than my Subaru Brat used to. Just putting my ARB fridge back there takes up about a third of the cargo...

I really didn't know either and I was curious. I knew it wouldn't be a crossed out Jeep, not at that boundary (it's never been possible to drive anywhere near that sign). Thanks Ms. Buffalo! - DAA

I don't use mine for video - haven't shot any video with it. But the autofocus on the 70D in video and Live View is totally different than the others. Each pixel on the sensor acts as an AF point. Supposed to AF while shooting video and even auto track movement in video pretty well . Doubt...

Doh... I meant Pittsburg lake. Not sure I have ever been to Forrest lake. My memory got dynamited 20 years ago too... - DAA

Just set out my cot and bag for a quick overnighter while doing some exploring. 26 nights total. Owyhee Desert, Jan. - 2 nights San Rafael Desert, Feb. - 2 nights Henry Mtns/Capitol Reef, Mar. - 4 nights Maze/Poison Spr., Mar. - 4 nights The Swell, Mar. - 2 nights Polly Mesa, Apr. - 3 nights...

Very cool. It's been literally decades since I have been in AFC. To put it in perspective, last time I was there, I drove my truck to Forrest lake (dented the rockers on the gatekeeper and one front fender and a bedside on trees too...). Heard the gatekeeper got dynamited at least 20 years...

:D I'll accept the beast part. - DAA

Those really are fantastic Rye. All of them. Some of the snake shots are over the top though! I haven't had time to take many wildlife pics lately but here's a few recent snaps. - DAA

I'd try the Yosemite visitor center/ranger station directly. Had a different, but similarly screwed up experience getting my Salt Creek permit this year. The system crashed. I ended up on the phone not with one of the .gov breath drones at recreation.gov but a ranger at the Needles Visitor...

No complaints with my CS UL2. Love the two side door and two large vestibules. Super easy to setup - even in the dark, in the wind and rain. Rain proof, wind proof. Truly free standing. True double wall. Room enough for me and my adult Son. Have never got wet at all in it, not even during...

Cool stuff as always Dennis. I didn't know about that cactus or that coal fire vent either. Nor the book - another one I added to my cart at Amazon while reading one of your posts! - DAA

Love it! - DAA
