Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

I'll check into them.

Not worried about being off the ground. More having it fixed somewhere and not taking up space that could be for something else.

 

I've got a few hammocks as well and they will be used for sure. A single, double and single with a bug net.

 

Try a hammock!

 

See post above.

 

Which one???

 

Directly above yours haha. I've got three hammocks.

Probably cut it down to two for the trip.

 

I keep at least one hammock in the truck at all times, whether my RTT is on the truck or not!

 

Same. My single one is always in there.

 

Another vote for the tent cot. It sets up and takes down fast and is comfy and pretty cheap.

 

Damn, I think I could live in this thing....

Who carries a chainsaw? I have a Stihl 201T but doesn't idle, cant find a good shop in my area to repair it. Gonna start saving for a new one after this..

You could try replacing the carburetor - that may fix the problem.

Also, try to use ethanol-free gas. Ethanol really f***s up the fuel system in these.

 

Oath. Ethanol wrecks chainsaws.

 

They've had these at Sams Club for a while. Maybe I need to take a closer look.

 

You might try running some Sea Foam through it. I've had some friends that have had luck that way. The ethanol destroys them.

 

Where can you even get ethanol free gas.

Thanks

 

Home despot/ Lowe's sell it in the power equipment isle too. It's what I run all my small engines on, and usually mix 1 of the bottles of ethanol free at least into my larger tanks ( like outboard boat engines tank)

 

I don't carry one (and I don't remember how to tune them), but my last roommate had that same model and it was having a ton of idle issues despite using ethanol-free gas. We had it tuned multiple times by a shop at high altitude -- we lived at 8.7k'. They tried to futz with it a handful of times before finally getting it right... then it ran like a champ.

When I worked on a trail crew out here, all of our saws were Stihl and ran great, but the shop manager had them tuned to perfection.
