    That in part is why I told my Travel Trailer after just 3 trips. The other part of that decision is my Tacoma just did not like hauling around the weight of a TT. Kept my trusty Tacoma and bought a Minnie Winnie.

    What do you think? Limburger, pork rind and horseradish?
    I see folks hauling trailers with tacomas up here. They’re about the only thing slower on the hills than me!

    Glad your enjoying yourself.
    Takes me back 4 weeks ago waking up on a BLM campsite outside of Moab.
    Fresh clean 20 degree air. Hot cup of coffee.
    I'm still on a cloud from that trip.

Dual battery.
    I am dealing with a tree stump. A 3 foot tall stump. Got too hot outside, at 0900, and the battery died on the chainsaw. Worked for a while on it this morning, thought I did alot. Still 2 feet left.

    So on to the RO water system. The shut off valve died on the old one and they don't make them anymore. So I had to replace the whole system. Turns out RO systems remove minerals and that isn't good. So the new systems put minerals back in.


    I drink from the hose, but the wife unit needs filtered water.

    There’s just something about being outdoors… can’t beat it!
    I buy the giant caramello bars and keep them in the fridge.
    Also recommend Reese’s cups and Andes mints on s’mores but caramello is by far my favorite

    Are trying to get it out or just cut flush with the ground?

    Let me guess, you have 3?
    Closer to the ground then dig it out. Roots are huge so I will cut them. Of course the roots have grown around the rocks, so that's a party

    That 3' tall stump would make a great lever...4' or 5' would be better.

    If you’re going to dig it out…you might want to leave that now 2’ so you can get a chain around once you expose and deal with the roots. Stumps are harder to remove when flushed with the ground…unless you are going to get a stump grinder on it. Just thoughts and a few years of experience talking. Good luck

    Another trick (if you have the room) is dig around it before you fall the tree and let the weight of the tree help put out the root wad then cut 'er loose.
