Oklahoma Official Event Thread

haha , figured id cash in while im ahead lol

 

Well, I think we may only get a little rain Saturday afternoon into the evening, but it won't be all day. I think we'll be able to pack up camp Saturday morning without any problem of rain. Weather looks to be in the 80's luckily.... we'll see how much humidity we get with it. I'm ready to go. Picked up a few last minute things today: Water waders and waterproof LED lantern.

 

I'm changing the oil tonight and hopefully will get some d-ring bed tie downs installed so I can secure the winch in the bed. Then get things packed in the bed thursday night. Most of our camping gear is ready to pull out of our shed and put in the bed anyway, and my recovery gear I never took out in case it was needed from the flooding. Good call on the waders . I also loaded the GPX file you posted on my Garmin handheld and the topo maps for the area.

 

Awesome! Glad you have the garmin. I downloaded a gps app for the iPad and downloaded the maps, but we'll see how that works. I'm loading all up Thursday as well. Most everything is going in tubs in the bed. And I figured waders would be good if one gets stuck in a bog, or more importantly to check water depth. They are chest high.

 

put in my dual battery system last night, all i have left is the contol monitor to mount up front. and my winch install tonight lol hope it goes good, wish me luck lol

 

Well unfortunately I won't have any lights for the trip except for my flash light lol. Still need to get the winch wired up when the new mounting plate gets here tomorrow.

 

Did you run the wires where you want them to go? Or just waiting on that new plate to come in? I'd help out tomorrow, but I'll be in South Carolina until late.

Where are you installing the controller for the winch? On Sean's truck we luckily had a mounting plate that we were able to stick it on in the back left cubby area over the fender well.

 

He new plate should be in tomorrow then I can hook it all up

 

that cubby hole now houses the extra battery lol ill find a home for it, maybe next to the coolant resevoir or somethin lol

 

@rutacoma where did you mount your winch control box at?

 

Sounds like anywhere it will fit lol.

 

I get the snockel installed first. Lol

 

You got a snorkel??

 

Trying to give you a hard time

 

Bahaha dude I want to get it installed before the trip but I doubt its happening. My boss leaves on Thursday afternoon to fly back to ATL.

 

So for those of you bringing a woman on the trip how will the bathroom situation work? Trying to decide if I want to bring my daughter or not.

 

Ha. Didn't think about that. Tp and a big tree is imagine. Not my woman or I'd think about it more.

 

Lol I don't want my little girl to to be scared to tell me she needs to go to the bathroom by were in the woods and don't have a bathroom. I'm thinking I'll have to leave her home for this one and next time try to figure something out.

Using one of these:

And since I've got front and rear receivers - lots of flexibility!!

In all seriousness though - with a pregnant wife, we'll probably go off trail and use a tarp for my wife's privacy.
