Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Whelp that was enough fun in the snow. Think its time to go back to hibernating the rest of the day

They havent run down most of the rounds around here aside from the interstate and its drifting pretty bad.

 

Slumberjack sleeping bag.
Never leaves the back seat. Compact.

 

This filter is a straw. The company claims you can drink creek or river water through it.
In an emergency, I would.
Preferably not the 1st to try!

 

Idk if you had/have one or watched that diff drop video?
The big con to diff drops.


Edit: A solid reason to not want your frame to rust.
You can't be pulling those shenanigans if your Toyo has osteoporosis.

 

I’ve got a 40l Osprey bag that goes with me in the winter time. Has a bunch of stuff (coveralls, hats, mittens, etc) incase you were to get stranded so you don’t freeze.

 

I haven’t used one of those but it would get the job done. I’ve got a couple sawyer minis that you can use with a bag or collapsible bottle and a platypus gravityworks which is the one I use camping and hiking

 

Keep that monkey business down there this year!

 

I’m gonna have to get out the snowblower. There’s some pretty good drifts here now. About 8” here today

 

I'm stuck with heavy snow AKA slush

 

Such a rush to get home tonight and get my daughter to swim team practice I forgot to get a picture; but, I took the truck bed home on the flatbed. Get it wrapped up for the winter this weekend

 

Still waiting for snow here!

 

As of 6:15 PM there is still no snow by me. What little snow I did get was washed away when it transitioned back to rain. The upside of @BookieBob and myself living so close to the lake I suppose.

Although I would like some snow as it makes for good photos, hiking, etc.

 

You didn't bring a towel? Never leave home without a towel.

Ronny Dahl is what's up. The thing about Matt's off-road recovery is it's an entertainment business. A lot of the stuff they do is sketchy and very dangerous and against the book. It's fun and exciting and a build some kick ass rigs but at the end of the day.... Don't try it at home. A good safe recovery should look boring AF.

 

While I don't keep a sleeping bag in the truck I do keep a heavy Harbor Freight moving blanket behind the seats for truck things. In the winter I also put a heavy wool blanket behind the seats. It's for ski patrol rescues and wasn't horribly expensive.

I've used it a bunch camping on cold nights to add an extra layer. I'll usually sleep on top of the HF blanket as well if I'm in a ground tent.

I keep a tote in the bed with recovery gear, work gloves, a small tarp to lay on, and a backpacking stove, fuel, small pot and cup set along with hot cocoa packets. It's nice to come back after a winter hike and warm up with some cocoa.
Traction boards, small plastic shovel, and a small metal shovel that will dig through icy snow.

Never forget your towel!

 

I always forget a towel or a pillow. You can use a towel for a pillow but not so much a pillow for a towel.

With the axle dump, if I leave the truck run long enough the snow will melt. heh

 

Like. Had not thought of that possibility…

 

Towels are so.... Versatile

 

Where is the lie?
