Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

Do you have the link for the fill adapter? I thought I had it somewhere...

 

I've been doing this for years now, not sure if you're aware of a neat little trick to get them completely full,
Take the 1 pound bottles and freeze them for about 20-30 minutes and set the 20 pound tank in the sun to warm up.
They fill in seconds and completely full.
I would also suggest doing the refill outside to reduce the propane fumes in the house that may catch a spark.

 

This is the one I got. I believe they are all pretty much the same..

Ya know I heard about the freeze but then my buddy sent me this video that shows no need to freeze.. So I followed the method in the video and worked great. Some funny narrorating as well. And I had the garage door up during filling, I also installed a commercial exhaust fan in the garage for welding, works great for spray paint and other fumes as well.

Was walking the baby and pup around the neighborhood and saw a contractor stuck in a skid steer. Offered my help and went home to get my truck. This is the 2:1 winch pull was my go to. Ideally needed to go forward but there was nothing to snatch off of in front of him. The guy felt the need to offer me money for the rescue but I declined. Was stoked to see my hand tied soft shackle do work. The blue one was on my front bumper D ring, the silver was on the tie down point of the the skid steer that is just a cut out in a steel plate.. not a suggested anchor point for a soft shackle but it worked out well.

You never got those soft shackles strength tested so I don't trust them...

 

Oki next time we wheel and you stuck I won’t pull ya out

 

Back in April I jumped on a kick starter program for Somewear, a global hot spot device. It was suppose to have it in hand in July, than pushed to August, than September, thannn October.. Funny enough with all the delays it shows up the day before I leave on a camping trip to Virginia. Setup was painless, and one activated I was able to text my wife while my phone was on airplane mode through the Somewear app. She recieved the message direct to her phone without the app. It did say “to reply to this message, download the app”. It’s going to be a great peace of mind being able to travel in and out of cell service knowing I can directly be in touch for emergencies or to just let someone know I’m ok. Without messaging there is a mode as well than timely drops pins of my location as to track travel or to allow someone to know my wareablouts. Also an SOS button is located on the device if I was ever in real danger like physically harmed stranded without food/water and no way to self rescue. As a benefit to the device being a hotspot and using my phone still for communication, I have my entire phone book in my phone for contact list.. Also, if I was ever to somehow lose or break my phone out in the middle of nowhere I can still use my iPad to communicate as well..
