Here are the only two pics I took that were any good. And I am not sure I am happy with the post on them, I feel I may have went too heavy handed on them..

Re: Over $600 for a Garmin 60CSX?!
Yeah, the 60's are crazy expensive. The 62s start around 250 on amazon. Speaking of GPS's, can anyone rattle off some models of decent ones that are cheap? <$250. I'd kind of like to find one that I could up/download maps with. The Oregons and 62s are around $250. Cabella's Has most if not all of th...

Re: Top Box Mounting ?
What are you putting into the Pelican case? As it is a top case, I would assume light stuff (sleeping bag, clothes, etc.). Keep CG lower by putting heavy crap in side bags. If that is the case [pun], I would skip the plywood and just use the case. Pelican cases tend to be pretty stiff. Plywood is a...

Re: Top Box Mounting ?
I assumed the hinges went towards the front, thanks for confirming that. I never thought about the wind catching an unlatched case, that is a very good point Troy. The thick plywood was just some scrap I had laying around. As far as the quick mounts go, I looked into them, but I don't really want to...

Re: Top Box Mounting ?
So does this look legit? Ya know, before I go and punch a bunch of holes in a perfectly good pelican case? And one more question, is is better to mount the hinge towards the front or the rear, or does it matter? http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/_DonG/DR650/20130322_210258_zpsb5ed5b32.jpg http...

Re: Long Distance Trip Planning
I've struggled with the camping thing. I really wish that I could enjoy sleeping on the ground, typically in the rain, and eating bland, boiled pre-packaged freeze dried food. Not to mention the hot, cold, bugs, no shower, no toilet, mud, dust, grime, dark, coyotes, bears, packing, un-packing, can'...

Re: Long Distance Trip Planning
Thanks for digging that up mike. I spent about 3 or 4 hours on Google last night looking at GPS (and several more this morning), but I didn't come across that thread. I read through that thread, but I never saw any one mention if the touch screen models work with gloves on or not. I found some other...

Re: Long Distance Trip Planning
Thank you Andy.
Eddie, Andy, or any one else with a touch screen Garmin, do they work with gloves on? I am looking at either the Oregon 450, or the 62s...
Thanks

Re: Long Distance Trip Planning
I tried looking around for the GPS threads, but I think I was looking in the wrong spot, or suck at searching. Either way, I will search some more, because I remember seeing them too.
thanks.
thanks.

Re: Long Distance Trip Planning
WOW. Thank you for the detailed response. I was kind of wondering about the bottom entry on those and getting in and out with a bag and what not. The Warbonnet looks very nice, expensive, but very nice. And thank you for the repel rings tip, and hammock forum link. I will definitely keep that all in...

Less socks, more cash. Check. :wink: Jasoomain, how do you like the Hennessy Hammock? that is what I was looking at getting instead of a tent. Mike, thanks for the tip on the Penny stove, and gear suggestions, the back packer gear route was what I was looking at. But I hadn't heard of the Penny stov...

First off, any tips / tricks / suggestions for a first time long distance tripper would be greatly appre...
