    Nice, that's pretty cool you can upload the trail map. I just downloaded gaia. Seems to be good, can't wait to use it over the summer!

    A friend of mine has the p30 and the 45. Both are just awesome guns. Most comfortable handguns I've found yet. Just gotta pony up the cash...

    I'm wondering if they will come out with a compact version of the vp9 because that may be what I'm looking for. Not subcompact though. Hands are too big for that shit.

    @benbacher or others

    What rim size would be recommended for 35-39" tires? My current 15x8 rims are too skinny I think.

    Already utilizing your 5.29's I see. You for sure want a 10 wide for that.

    I hear ya there. We've got sun that you can actually feel the warmth of on your back. Ice is melting on its own, tis a good day. Tis also a day that I bet we get another big dump of snow before this winter releases us.

    I'm waiting for it as well, it's snowed a couple times here in the past week since it's warming up. I'm ready for it to be gone, I'm originally from SC, lived in GA the last 6 years, this was my first winter here.

    How cold did you guys get up there? Normally it can be -50 pretty easily.

    The only temp that comes to mind was one morning on a snow shoe/ruck march that was around -25. People just kept telling me to be glad it was a warm winter :/

    I keep having the urge to get my drift boat out and go try some fishing, but I know as soon as I do it we will get dumped on lol. Probably right before I can get the tarp back on it.
