    no worries,
    I just relaxed and listened to the "skip" on Ch 6. Also googled what Skip is, and how to do it.
    Also tested out the new light bar

    Solid point. Americans like to mistake politeness for weakness.

    Went on a little Canada day adventure which brought me to a small rocky beach. Aired down on the side of caution/being along/no recovery gear haha. Got an amazing view of the sunset, and fooled around with my phone's camera and a set of binoculars

    Happy Canada day!!

    Set up camp on a turn of the beach

    Tested my balancing skills

    Used the binoculars in front of the camera lens, came out pretty good!

    When you're wheeling in snow and sand it's always good to airdown and spread the weight out as much as possible!

    You also get better clearing action from the tire flexing.

    Generally though, I'll air down because the truck is unbelievably rough when I'm bouncing down trails. Saves the kidneys.

    This is the first time really airing down. Other trails I have done were dry enough to just run street pressures. I drove out onto the beach and noticed the tires hopping for traction so I went down to 20psi. Helped a lot and never ran into any issues getting stuck. Also made it smoother driving over the rocks scattered through the sand. I checked the tide charts before heading out onto the beach and they were on their way out so I was safe in that manner

    PS. I didn't snap a picture but there was silver 2nd gen parked down on the beach with an empty boat trailer. At that time the tide was not to far out, but I seen a boat come into the bay later in the evening and he would have had to drag the boat almost 100ft to get to 'firm' ground where he could bring the truck down too
