--> **PEACOCK FLATS CAMPING TRIP - May 10, 2014** <--

what kind of compressor do you guys have to air back up once you're out? i saw a good year pump at costco this weekend and wondering if that'll do the trick.

 

ARB

 

I have a Viair 450P-A that I will probably sell once I get an ARB rear locker and onboard air...lol..

I saw that little goodyear compressor at Costco today.. Hmm.. The pictures on the side of the box showed a bike tire and a ball.. lol.. Could probably work, but will take some time..

 

darn...might have to just rough it then cause I don't feel like dropping $200 on a compressor right now.

 

You could always air down for the trip up, and air up before you go down.. at least rough only 1 way.. lol

 

Are we all still doing a BYO for lunch.. I will probably go to malama market on the way down and grab some Korean Fried Chicken.. umm. umm.. good...

Ivan - I'm rather a coffee snob, not going for the skinny latte with skim, but for good coffee black (cream and sugar.. you not even drinking coffee.. you might as well have a frappuccino...lol..) But when camping, the Starbucks Via are pretty damn good.. Just need hot water... Thoughts???

 

I drink quad espressos all day buddy. No sugar.
French press is next best thing.

Oh, and there are exceptions to the no electronics rule when you have a broken back

 

You drink multiple quad espressos in a day?? No jidders? Ether you are my hero, or you need to see your Dr. Lol..

i used to drink a quad at night then go to sleep an hour later, but that was college.. now a days (and my broke ass due to TW and Miles).. i have my single keurig in the morning followed by a couple hot green teas, or if the wine was pouring the night before a "school night", a double red eye..

fyi: we have this awesome recipe for a "thai cocktail". Thinking of telling my wife to make some, but I take no responsibility if she does and you partake (I had a glass and a half, and had to correct spelling on my phone keypad 5 times already..lol)

 

No thanks. Not into mixed drinks or hards. Just beer for me

 

I got my twin ARB finally set up

bacon sounds good, i'll probably impulsively grab a bunch of random stuff hehe

I do like my iced coffee frappachinos, but espresso shots are better...just needs some milk and surgar

my mom's old Gaggia counted 12,000+ cups over 5 years before killing over

 

how will I get my Tacoma world fix?

I got a butane stove, I can live off of MREs, Vienna sausages, and beanie wienies though

 

A true survivor...

 

I should bring a case of MRE's that have been sitting under my desk for a couple of years...still good right?

 

Midnight snack maybe???

 

Yeah, they last about 20 years...lol

And they will keep you from taking a dump. MRE's clog you up...

 

and each meal is like 5000 calories

 

I'll take a spaghetti and meatballs from ya!!

 

There you go. Sunday lunch while on the trail before heading out.

 

I have a Viair 400P-rv in the truck that I have never used. I usually only air down to 18-20PSI so I can still drive home on it. After a long camping/wheeling trip, We just wanna get home!

 

Was going to ask later (when those staun's come in), but what should I set them to?

I was going to set to 20 psi. but with the weight in the bed, should those be a little higher? Or 20psi in the rear and 18psi in front (as the rear will be naturally heavier cause all the weight). Gonna have 2, so was gonna set a front deflator and a rear deflator.

I can totally see your last trip (cause all the rain) that you didn't want to stop to air up..
