WEBVTT 00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:18.640 Welcome to Botch's Off -Road. Join us as we talk 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.940 about everything from gear reviews to trail stories, 00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:23.539 tent camping to rock landing, and all things 00:00:23.539 --> 00:00:27.739 to do with the outdoors. Alright. Mark, what'd 00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:29.699 you do last weekend? I'm just gonna jump right 00:00:29.699 --> 00:00:32.119 into it. I ain't gonna give him no dilly -dally, 00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:35.039 no bullshit, nothing. Just right into it. I did 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.240 the same thing you did, so you might as well 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:45.929 explain it. Cat. So... Nah. He's right. Kind 00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:49.609 of. So this weekend, or last weekend, I guess, 00:00:50.049 --> 00:00:52.270 we didn't really have any truck things planned. 00:00:52.549 --> 00:00:54.789 Oh, yeah. I don't think we had anything planned. 00:00:54.990 --> 00:00:58.789 We were just going to bullshit. And I was looking 00:00:58.789 --> 00:01:01.750 at the forerunner, and for whatever reason, this 00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:03.590 was while Mark and Alan were on their way, by 00:01:03.590 --> 00:01:06.349 the way. Like, it was really bad timing. I was 00:01:06.349 --> 00:01:07.810 just looking at the forerunner, and I'm like, 00:01:07.829 --> 00:01:10.769 you know what? I really hate my rocker panels. 00:01:11.709 --> 00:01:14.290 Yeah. I mean, you hated them for a while, but. 00:01:15.739 --> 00:01:18.400 Yeah, but like for whatever reason Friday night. 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.280 I really hated them so I started cutting out 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.159 rocker panels with a grinder which I Thought 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.659 it would take like 20 minutes No, that takes 00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:32.200 like four and a half hours like it took a long 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.459 time to cut those rocker What was the last project 00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:36.959 you thought was not gonna take that long and 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.340 took us almost four days? I don't even remember 00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:44.689 I I don't know why I was thinking rocker panels 00:01:44.689 --> 00:01:49.950 would just fall off, whatever. So Friday night, 00:01:50.129 --> 00:01:52.549 we worked pretty late getting those cut out. 00:01:52.549 --> 00:01:54.590 Well, the passenger side. We worked pretty late 00:01:54.590 --> 00:01:57.590 getting the passenger side cut out. At some point, 00:01:57.689 --> 00:01:59.890 we decided that it'd be better with a settling 00:01:59.890 --> 00:02:01.969 torch, so we went and got our buddy's settling 00:02:01.969 --> 00:02:05.810 torch. It was not better. It almost lit my car 00:02:05.810 --> 00:02:08.009 on fire. Well, I guess it did light my car on 00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:14.870 fire, but we put it out. after that was all cut 00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:18.270 out and chopped off. Um, and I'll make sure Mark 00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:20.650 puts pictures of this in chapter art because 00:02:20.650 --> 00:02:24.129 I took, what would you say three or four inches 00:02:24.129 --> 00:02:28.689 of height off my body? Yeah, roughly. Like, I 00:02:28.689 --> 00:02:30.030 don't think you can see your frame originally, 00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:31.969 but you can definitely see the frame once you 00:02:31.969 --> 00:02:36.150 cut all that old rocker off. Like I, I probably 00:02:36.150 --> 00:02:40.949 cut out four inches of body and then we I had 00:02:40.949 --> 00:02:44.009 some sliders that were off the crawler. So we 00:02:44.009 --> 00:02:46.750 cut those off the crawler and then slid them 00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:50.110 up the frame till they were about half an inch 00:02:50.110 --> 00:02:54.229 from touching the body of my forerunner, and 00:02:54.229 --> 00:02:56.669 then welded them in. So now I have sliders that 00:02:56.669 --> 00:03:01.949 are... Excuse me. Now I have sliders that are 00:03:01.949 --> 00:03:04.150 kind of secret sliders. They're hidden from the 00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:09.669 world. And they're... Four inches higher than 00:03:09.669 --> 00:03:12.870 the average slider clearance. I guess I don't 00:03:12.870 --> 00:03:15.810 know But the important thing is there's no more 00:03:15.810 --> 00:03:19.210 rust on the body of the forerunner. No that I 00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:25.509 found they have found. Yeah Yeah, so that took 00:03:25.509 --> 00:03:28.469 that end up taking us two days two days I don't 00:03:28.469 --> 00:03:30.590 think we weren't done till what like ten o 'clock 00:03:30.590 --> 00:03:33.629 on Saturday. Yeah about ten o 'clock Saturday 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.379 So much for 40 minutes and grinding rocker panels 00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:43.280 off in an hour of welding, huh? Yeah, I Think 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.060 all those two hours are more welding Crazy I 00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:53.000 don't yeah, I'd be I could just feel it hurting 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.939 my back right now thinking about it. Oh Dude, 00:03:56.979 --> 00:03:59.860 my back's killing me today. Like it's We've been 00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:01.800 done for four days, and my back still hurts. 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.120 I was hurting before we even started the 400. 00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:07.659 That was because of my work week. Yeah. Yeah, 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.560 I had a long week before that. Like, what was 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.879 wrong with me? God, you guys had a fun weekend. 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.639 I think my weekend ended on, you know, Sunday 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.819 I got into work. And as some of the, as the listeners 00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:26.199 know, I have been trying to recover from whatever 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:33.360 mystery sickness I've had. And I came in Sunday 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.620 at about, you know, 839. Honestly, I was a little 00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.800 groggy, but I was feeling okay, sick -wise. And 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.959 I was walking back up to the register, getting 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:45.560 ready to count tills and everything, put that 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.740 stuff in. And I could feel a little cough coming. 00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:50.899 So I just, I was like, oh yeah, no big deal. 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.439 Little cough. And yeah, it turned into a big 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.100 cough. I coughed so hard, I popped a... popped 00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:03.519 a rib, and then the excruciating pain that comes 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.720 after that, I could barely walk or move. Turns 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.839 out I tore or pulled like an intercostal. I think 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.220 it's intercostal, like a muscle between the ribs, 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.819 just from coughing so much. And so I've been 00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:26.250 in some extreme pain since then. The spasms have 00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:30.029 stopped. It's still sore, but I've been sleeping 00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:34.930 in a chair for the last four days, so my back's 00:05:34.930 --> 00:05:36.709 a little sore from that. And not going to work, 00:05:36.829 --> 00:05:40.089 you prick. No, yeah, I've been out of work. My 00:05:40.089 --> 00:05:42.089 whole left side I can't barely lift anything 00:05:42.089 --> 00:05:45.230 with just because of the rib pain and stuff. 00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:47.889 I mean, it's all the muscles surrounding the 00:05:47.889 --> 00:05:50.790 rib, like lat muscles and everything for picking 00:05:50.790 --> 00:05:56.579 things up. So. It's like and it I can't even 00:05:56.579 --> 00:06:00.180 explain like explain how bad it hurt But I was 00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:02.759 seeing I was seeing spots in my eyesight, you 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.879 know So yeah, it was a it's pretty rough. I know 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.019 I know Sunday when When I saw you you couldn't 00:06:11.019 --> 00:06:13.220 even reach across the truck to get your phone 00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:15.959 off the whole no Yeah, and that was after I took 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.660 a lot of pain meds that I were totally prescribed 00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:27.529 so Completely legal. But, you know, it was a 00:06:27.529 --> 00:06:31.689 lot of pain. And been a lot of nights since then 00:06:31.689 --> 00:06:34.509 trying to get comfortable in a bed, but you slip, 00:06:34.769 --> 00:06:36.589 you know, you can't sleep on your left side because 00:06:36.589 --> 00:06:38.449 your ribs are in pain and they're popping in 00:06:38.449 --> 00:06:41.009 and out. Can't sleep on your right side because 00:06:41.009 --> 00:06:44.410 the weight, maybe just because I'm fat, but the 00:06:44.410 --> 00:06:47.029 weight of the ribs pulling down, the gravity 00:06:47.029 --> 00:06:50.470 is hurt, so it keeps me awake. The only way that 00:06:50.470 --> 00:06:54.050 I can... actually, uh, you know, comfortably 00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:57.370 sit as if I'm sitting in a chair, uh, you know, 00:06:57.410 --> 00:07:01.870 almost a complete 90. So that was fun. Uh, but 00:07:01.870 --> 00:07:06.209 you know, I did use Monday, um, had a little 00:07:06.209 --> 00:07:08.970 bit extra money, decided to splurge and got a 00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:13.629 Wolfbox. Um, and I used Monday for the install 00:07:13.629 --> 00:07:22.019 of that. Uh, I got a Wolfbox G850 and So I spent 00:07:22.019 --> 00:07:25.800 Monday trying to get that together, not reading 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.600 any of the directions or anything, and tried 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.279 tucking some of the wires so it's not super obvious. 00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:36.399 And I'm pretty impressed with it so far, honestly. 00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:41.019 I think it's pretty cool. I learned... I wish 00:07:41.019 --> 00:07:43.259 that my windshield wasn't so small so I could 00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:46.839 have one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was nice. 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.420 I mean, honestly, I got it more for the rear 00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:54.160 view, the backup. Yeah. You know, I ran my wire 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.980 up along the A pillar, buying the visor to the 00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:03.779 A pillar, and then up along the whole back through 00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:06.839 my back door. Then I was originally going to 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.540 just set it kind of where my brake light was 00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:10.699 at. But the way that the camera's orientated, 00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:13.360 you have to have it upside down. For it to work. 00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:17.040 So the way that I stuck it You can flip it, but 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.939 the way that I flip. Yeah the way that I had 00:08:18.939 --> 00:08:22.639 it set There wasn't it wasn't giving me enough 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.939 angle to actually see So I had to unstick it 00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:30.680 and then I moved it to the back rail of my roof 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.559 rack And now I could see now I could see all 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.559 so That was pretty nice took me. Did you get 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.700 your new roof rack installed? Oh, no. No, no, 00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:44.100 no, it's it's just it's held on there via 3M 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:49.340 stickiness, so all hard mounted after. But yeah, 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.679 no, it was pretty cool. I went on the trail on 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.500 Prairie a little bit just to kind of try it out 00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:02.379 and then realize that they have an app to access 00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:05.799 your Wolfbox stuff and to see the video and all 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.179 that. So I went to go access my video and realized 00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:11.870 when you turn it on, wireless mode you have to 00:09:11.870 --> 00:09:16.389 be able to like hook up to wi -fi uh i was wi 00:09:16.389 --> 00:09:18.830 -fi it was like i was hooking up to my carplay 00:09:18.830 --> 00:09:25.309 on the fj via wi -fi and bluetooth so kind of 00:09:25.309 --> 00:09:27.230 had an issue there i couldn't connect to both 00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:31.629 which was kind of stupid so uh i went digging 00:09:31.629 --> 00:09:35.429 in my box of random chords from upgrades that 00:09:35.429 --> 00:09:38.990 i thought i didn't need stuff from and found 00:09:38.990 --> 00:09:43.190 the actual CarPlay port that went in the back 00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:45.789 of my radio that I was actually supposed to put 00:09:45.789 --> 00:09:49.230 in originally, but I didn't know that that's 00:09:49.230 --> 00:09:51.789 what that was for because I don't read directions. 00:09:53.049 --> 00:09:56.889 I just saw a USB port and I'm like, I don't need 00:09:56.889 --> 00:09:58.730 that. I got a whole fucking brick of them sitting 00:09:58.730 --> 00:10:03.610 over here. So I never plugged it in. So I went 00:10:03.610 --> 00:10:06.289 and plugged that in, plugged my phone into the 00:10:06.289 --> 00:10:10.559 USB and boom. I got CarPlay via USB, so now I 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:15.019 can use my Wi -Fi. I'm like, ah, sweet. So I 00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:17.960 figured all that out. That was fun. Life is just 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:19.759 so much more fun when you don't read directions, 00:10:20.299 --> 00:10:23.740 man. I'll tell you about it. But shouldn't you 00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:25.799 only have to hook up to the WolfBox when you 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.679 want to pull videos? Yeah, but because I have 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.539 to have the WolfBox on, so the vehicle has to 00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:38.129 be running. OK. my car automatically connects 00:10:38.129 --> 00:10:42.470 to the Wi -Fi, you know, CarPlay. And every time 00:10:42.470 --> 00:10:45.570 I switch it off or disconnect it, it reconnects. 00:10:45.590 --> 00:10:47.750 Did you put the app on your phone? Yeah. Did 00:10:47.750 --> 00:10:49.409 you put the app on your phone or on your dash? 00:10:49.549 --> 00:10:51.769 No, not on my dash. There's no point, you know. 00:10:52.350 --> 00:10:55.509 So on your phone, all you'd have to do is disconnect 00:10:55.509 --> 00:10:58.009 from the CarPlay Wi -Fi and connect to the Wolfbox 00:10:58.009 --> 00:11:00.409 Wi -Fi. Well, obviously, that would be the easiest, 00:11:00.629 --> 00:11:06.220 right? Except that... the CarPlay Wi -Fi auto 00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:08.600 -reconnects and for some reason I couldn't get 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:14.240 them to stop connecting. I would turn off the 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:20.340 Wi -Fi to the radio on the tablet and it would 00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:23.899 turn back on and reconnect back to my phone. 00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:29.019 That was like my work truck does it all the time 00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:30.639 I gotta make sure I don't have the Bluetooth 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.379 on when someone turns the truck on I was just 00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:35.620 gonna automatically connect every time I go to 00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:39.759 disconnect it does it again Yeah, so so yeah, 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.120 I mean theoretically. Yeah that all works well, 00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:45.440 but it was not working for me But I figured out 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.580 a better alternative. Anyway, it hooks right 00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:51.159 up to the card play and it charges my phone at 00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:54.580 the same time so Honestly, it all worked out 00:11:54.580 --> 00:12:00.120 so Um, clean that up. Um, and then these past 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:04.179 couple days when, um, and I'm counting this as 00:12:04.179 --> 00:12:06.559 my weekend because my weekend hasn't ended yet. 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.820 I haven't had to go back to work. So, um, these 00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:13.919 past couple days in recovery, I, um, I have been 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.379 organizing and kind of taking inventory of what 00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:19.299 I have, what I want to take back out because 00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:21.519 I haven't actually moved all my stuff back out 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.019 to my truck yet for the camping season. so I've 00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:27.399 been kind of taking inventory of what I do have 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:32.059 what we've accumulated and Kind of going through 00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:34.120 everything and going hey What do I actually need 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.559 out here now now that I've gone through the year 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.259 now that I know what we've used What I didn't 00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:44.879 need Like I have two of those cheapest Like Walmart 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.259 camp cook sets and I'm like, yep, don't need 00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:50.559 those those can get hung up and and forgotten 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.039 so it's like I think going through that kind 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.820 of stuff like, Hey, uh, you know, do I need this 00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:59.000 coffee grinder? How many coffee, you know, how 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.460 many, uh, you know, uh, coffee mugs do we really 00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:05.200 need? Um, and then kind of thinking about all 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.460 that, um, you know, like right now I'm in the 00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:13.559 camp cookware hunt. I want to try and find more 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.419 collapsible, um, good quality camp cookware, 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.779 not like the crap that you can get from Walmart 00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:25.309 that doesn't just distribute heat well, uh, that, 00:13:26.289 --> 00:13:30.129 that doesn't have nice nonstick properties, but 00:13:30.129 --> 00:13:34.450 that also is in five to 10 pounds of cast iron. 00:13:34.710 --> 00:13:37.610 Cause obviously the easy answer is cast iron, 00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:41.690 but. Yeah. Just get yourself one good cast iron 00:13:41.690 --> 00:13:44.649 pan. Yeah. But if I get 12 inch skillet, 12 inch 00:13:44.649 --> 00:13:47.210 skillet can't make me a big pot of jambalaya 00:13:47.210 --> 00:13:53.740 though. Or. Okay. So. get, well, it can get one 00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:55.840 like mine. I've got one of the chicken fryers. 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.840 What do you mean? It's about yay deep. Yeah. 00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:03.259 Ish. And about yay big around, and it weighs 00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:04.759 about five pounds. Yeah, that's the issue, though. 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.399 Then at that point, I'm not really getting rid 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:12.659 of any space. I'm just adding more bulk. So I'm 00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:16.379 trying to cut down on those. You can put stuff 00:14:16.379 --> 00:14:21.299 in a cast iron pan. Correct. But... I don't really 00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:25.220 have anything that's gonna go in there. Am I 00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:28.980 gonna throw all my eating utensils or coffee 00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:34.580 mugs in there? It's not a bad idea. Theoretically, 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:37.259 I'm sure that would work, but I'm looking for 00:14:37.259 --> 00:14:41.200 something that's more collapsible, something 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.019 that's gonna fit in a smaller space and isn't 00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:47.480 as heavy. I carried around my Dutch oven last 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.840 year. It made jambalaya in that a couple times. 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.220 That was cool. Dutch ovens a little much. How 00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:54.759 big is your Dutch oven? It was a small one. It 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:59.039 was like five quart. No, I say I've got a big 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.399 Dutch oven and I would hate carrying that. And 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.240 I carried that on the roof because I had the 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.659 extra space. But it was like between that, I 00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:10.240 had a little cook pot and a pan. My biggest thing 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.299 is like I want to get something that collapses 00:15:12.299 --> 00:15:14.539 into each other, the handles that could come 00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:18.539 off of, but can still cook well. and that's light 00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:22.740 so that I can actually kind of put it away. Last 00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:25.279 year, my pots and pans were honestly just banging 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.059 around in the back, which is fine for some people, 00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:32.639 but I'm kind of a gear guy anyway, so I kind 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.340 of wanted to... Let me know what you come up 00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:36.960 with, because we also have that problem. Yeah, 00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:41.240 I mean, I've been... I've been looking at, like, 00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:43.970 the Gerber stuff. Gribber's got a really nice, 00:15:44.330 --> 00:15:47.370 like, complete set, is what it's called. But 00:15:47.370 --> 00:15:49.769 they're expensive. Is it the one they just released? 00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:52.870 Yeah, it's just expensive. It's like $200 for 00:15:52.870 --> 00:15:58.629 the full set. But it's all collapsible. Sea to 00:15:58.629 --> 00:16:01.549 Summit has good stuff. They're like a hiking 00:16:01.549 --> 00:16:06.190 company. They have a lot of, like, bowls that 00:16:06.190 --> 00:16:09.649 are like half nylon, half metal. So they collapse 00:16:09.649 --> 00:16:13.379 really well. And they're cookable. See they have 00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:15.799 they have like pots that you can use to cook 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.919 with metal bottoms that collapse but But it's 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.440 finding something You know that's gonna fit in 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.019 each other. That is you know a decent price. 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.120 That's decent quality that isn't You know just 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.679 straight junk Yeah, because if you spend that 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.600 money, you know, you kind of want it to be worth 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:42.789 it Um, let me see how much my cost for the Gerber 00:16:42.789 --> 00:16:46.029 stuff is. Cause I might be able to save you a 00:16:46.029 --> 00:16:48.470 boatload of money. Cause that would be, I mean, 00:16:48.509 --> 00:16:53.789 that would be my, uh, one of, one of the, uh, 00:16:53.970 --> 00:16:56.330 ones I was thinking about. I don't, uh, do you, 00:16:56.490 --> 00:16:59.490 oh, do you have like the veteran discount or 00:16:59.490 --> 00:17:06.049 something? Big time. Nice. Yeah. I think we really 00:17:06.049 --> 00:17:08.480 got to focus on our. Packout kids just aren't 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.680 on your kitchen too at the same time, Alex. Yeah, 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.619 GSI has a decent, it's called the Bugaboo Base 00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:22.500 Camper. That's got a complete collapsible system. 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:27.059 It's got the frying pan. It's got the detachable 00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:29.579 handles. It's got the pot, strainer, and the 00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:34.119 lid. And that's about like 124. So that's not 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.140 bad. It's a little cheaper. Um, not that I distrust 00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:39.920 GSI because they, for the price that they offer, 00:17:39.940 --> 00:17:44.259 they have some decent stuff. Um, it's just, I 00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:46.359 want to, I don't want to buy again, you know? 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.559 How does like $120 sound? That is much better 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.079 from like 200. Yeah. What am I looking at on 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.400 this? Yeah, I'm looking at 200, 199 .95. If it's 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.400 through veterans, Sienna could get it then. Yeah, 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.660 dude, so Gerber has a really great veteran program 00:18:07.660 --> 00:18:10.500 It's like 40 % off everything and I think it 00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:15.579 stacks with sales. Oh does it I Think so. Yeah, 00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:18.740 so going more into this complete system then 00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:21.559 Because a hundred dollars would make it worth 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.500 it for everything that you get They have it's 00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:28.960 got the saute pan. It's got a stockpot four plates 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.819 four bowls a mixing bowl and like a Like a oven 00:18:33.819 --> 00:18:36.619 pad or something and it all goes into one bag 00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:43.700 and Yeah, I mean dude for that price That might 00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:47.539 actually be where I go Because that'll take so 00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:49.960 we have a bunch and I'll say this for like beginning 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.059 overlanders campers if you want like the cheapest 00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:57.059 durable Camp utensils plates and stuff like that 00:18:57.059 --> 00:19:01.400 the Walmart 85 cent plates and bowls You cannot 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:03.480 get any better than the plates, bowls, and cups. 00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:08.240 They're 85 cents each. That's the one we use, 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.619 too. Yeah, and they collapse pretty well together. 00:19:10.819 --> 00:19:12.940 I used that all last year. And I honestly, when 00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:14.420 I was talking to my wife earlier, we were kind 00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:17.240 of brainstorming this. She's just like, I don't 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.619 care. I just eat what you make. She's like, so 00:19:20.619 --> 00:19:23.559 whatever keeps you making it. And I'm like, no, 00:19:23.579 --> 00:19:25.740 I really want to hear from you as a team member 00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:29.740 here. So she's like, yeah, you know. you know, 00:19:29.779 --> 00:19:32.500 something more collapsible. And she made the 00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:34.200 point, too, that they were just kind of jangling. 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.000 Every time we hit a bump, every time we went 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.299 off camera, our pots and stuff were shifting. 00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:42.779 So to be able to have everything like this all 00:19:42.779 --> 00:19:45.359 in one place, to have all of our, you know, that 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.539 would get rid of all of our extra plates, our 00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:51.559 bowls. That would save me a lot of space right 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:57.019 there, because before I had a pan jangling in 00:19:57.019 --> 00:20:00.180 the back, then I had... Plates and bowls taking 00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:02.440 up almost two of the small drawers that I had 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.740 so That's a now that you say that I'm gonna I'm 00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:10.880 gonna let sienna know about that and We're gonna 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.500 okay, so that on Gerber's website. It's actually 00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:19.200 214 .99 After discount it comes out to 140. Yeah, 00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:23.299 but free shipping. Yeah, I mean still it's That's 00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:29.319 a that's a good deal for me and I trust Gerber. 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.980 I've had a lot of Gerber's stuff that's actually 00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:37.200 been pretty decent. So that's... I just wish... 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.000 I just wish that they sold my MP 600 on the website 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.220 because I totally would have bought it from them 00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:48.180 rather than someone on eBay. MP 600? What is 00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:51.000 that? That's the military issue, Gerber. Oh, 00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:56.369 yeah, okay. That's the one that I broke. cutting 00:20:56.369 --> 00:20:59.529 a turkey's toe off last week. Oh, yeah. Actually, 00:21:01.170 --> 00:21:05.170 Sienna, so I chipped the top of my knife on my 00:21:05.170 --> 00:21:07.950 Leatherman. I have a Leatherman, I think it's 00:21:07.950 --> 00:21:11.210 called a wingman or a sidekick. Let me just check 00:21:11.210 --> 00:21:16.009 my pocket here. Sidekick. So maybe I screwed 00:21:16.009 --> 00:21:19.930 up. The Gerber stakeout is freaking cool. Hey, 00:21:20.750 --> 00:21:23.049 this is good hour topic. We're still on the half 00:21:23.049 --> 00:21:28.460 hour. Yeah, it's too late. We already got into 00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:31.660 all the cooking stuff. I went for my weekend 00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:35.319 recap. We'll get into this. We'll get into this 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.740 on the hour episode for all the listeners. So 00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:41.059 you'll hear more about it on Tuesday or Wednesday, 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:46.960 Tuesday. Yeah, Tuesday. So real quick.

That's some early storm systems I 00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:03.599 came through though. You guys seen the tree in 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.759 Gaylord?

You know, you know, 00:23:21.490 --> 00:23:23.670 oh, gosh, yeah, we gotta get to that hour here 00:23:23.670 --> 00:23:25.609 now, because now I got other stuff I wanna talk 00:23:25.609 --> 00:23:30.750 about with our cook stuff. So, I did some stuff. 00:23:33.049 --> 00:23:35.210 Now you got me thinking. So, Monday, I sealed 00:23:35.210 --> 00:23:38.369 up the holes in my truck so that I can go off 00:23:38.369 --> 00:23:41.059 -roading again. because Sunday while we were 00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:45.140 storm chasing, getting all back to this, Sunday 00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:47.920 while we were storm chasing, he couldn't go off 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.460 road with me because he had holes in his truck 00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:54.640 that his tires would just kick dirt all the way 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:59.559 up to the seat belts. Yeah, let's fix it. Someone 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.079 didn't think that was a crucial part until he 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:08.180 chopped it off. I stuffed some shop towels in 00:24:08.180 --> 00:24:10.279 there and then filled it full of silicone. Oh 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:13.640 my gosh, and you get after me for my half -ass 00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:17.079 jobs. Dude, I don't ever want to hear it again. 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.539 That's hilarious. I'm probably going to rip all 00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:25.269 of that out and replace it with... Weld but I 00:24:25.269 --> 00:24:26.829 needed something to seal it for the we should 00:24:26.829 --> 00:24:29.349 have did some ramen and super glue and then sanded 00:24:29.349 --> 00:24:31.170 it down That probably would have worked better 00:24:31.170 --> 00:24:34.809 That's a good idea I was talking about stuff. 00:24:34.809 --> 00:24:36.950 I just got idea for a shirt for next year, but 00:24:36.950 --> 00:24:40.250 I won't say anything about over here Okay, yeah 00:24:40.250 --> 00:24:42.990 save save it see now. We got a good hour for 00:24:42.990 --> 00:24:47.569 it. Oh Let me let me finish this yeah, so oh 00:24:47.569 --> 00:24:52.099 yeah, so so we met up for storm chasing Looking 00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:54.480 for tornadoes because we got a tornado warning 00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.039 for our for our county for our area or whatever 00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.980 And we didn't see anything actually me and Alex 00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:05.680 saw what we thought were spouts that like dissolved 00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.920 on the other side of the field that we were we 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.440 were stationed at as because we're professionals 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:16.799 and Yeah, so we basically chatted in the field 00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:21.900 looking for tornadoes, but turns out which I 00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:24.779 don't know if you saw the picture, Alex, of the 00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:27.119 confirmed tornado route that we did have in Grant. 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:33.460 It was less than half a mile from me. Very, very 00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:37.730 close. There were actually two confirmed, uh, 00:25:37.809 --> 00:25:40.150 EF zeros or whatever they call them in New Eggo 00:25:40.150 --> 00:25:42.450 County. There's the one that went from Howard 00:25:42.450 --> 00:25:46.450 city to, uh, Croton. And then about 30 minutes 00:25:46.450 --> 00:25:49.950 after that one, this is according to my storm 00:25:49.950 --> 00:25:53.690 chasing group. So it's not an official news source, 00:25:54.569 --> 00:25:59.349 but, um, about a half hour after the confirmed 00:25:59.349 --> 00:26:02.859 EF zero that the news has been reporting about, 00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:05.480 there was a second one that went across the muck 00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.680 fields. Yes. I think that's what we saw. So it 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.039 is. So that's what took out our power lines, 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.140 the two. Yep. So there was four. There was where 00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:17.720 we worked the firm ones over Michigan in general. 00:26:18.339 --> 00:26:21.059 There was like two down here south. I posted 00:26:21.059 --> 00:26:24.400 a picture into our botches off -road groups, 00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:28.220 and I marked basically where I live with red, 00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:34.170 and then basically the path of the tornado. We'll 00:26:34.170 --> 00:26:38.450 put that in the Alva Mart, but we're going to 00:26:38.450 --> 00:26:42.430 block out all the street names. So we're not 00:26:42.430 --> 00:26:46.390 telling everyone where Gavin is. Come find me. 00:26:46.809 --> 00:26:50.950 Come find me. You'll get a big old hug. But it 00:26:50.950 --> 00:26:52.829 doesn't mean the lakes, too. Oh, shit, Gavin. 00:26:53.450 --> 00:26:54.869 I'm going to do the lakes, too. And if you think 00:26:54.869 --> 00:26:58.029 about it, so we were right on that corner there. 00:26:59.690 --> 00:27:02.349 So we were really close to where that tornado 00:27:02.349 --> 00:27:05.289 started. Yeah, so we actually missed it though. 00:27:05.430 --> 00:27:08.630 So by the time we got out, it was already done 00:27:08.630 --> 00:27:11.170 and gone. Because it had already taken out the 00:27:11.170 --> 00:27:17.289 two power towers. So I lost power. And then we 00:27:17.289 --> 00:27:19.569 decided, hey, it's time to book it to a safer 00:27:19.569 --> 00:27:23.630 spot. So the wife and dad and the kid went to 00:27:23.630 --> 00:27:25.930 a safer spot. And as I was pulling out with my 00:27:25.930 --> 00:27:27.490 truck, because I didn't want any trees to fall 00:27:27.490 --> 00:27:29.539 on it, I was like, screw it, I'm going to go 00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:33.420 look for a tornado. So I called Alex to make 00:27:33.420 --> 00:27:35.099 sure he knew. And of course, he already did. 00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:39.279 So we met up at the gas station and then came 00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:43.539 out in this room. I was sitting here in my cockpit. 00:27:43.819 --> 00:27:47.400 I got four monitors in front of me. One had the 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:51.059 news. One had the storm chasing group. One had 00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:53.720 the radar. The other one had the radar the news 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.460 was showing, which was not accurate. Yeah, so 00:27:57.460 --> 00:28:00.900 we met up and then drove to the corner, because 00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:02.900 I was like, let's just go to the muck fields. 00:28:03.859 --> 00:28:05.920 As far as you could see, we'd be able to see 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.359 a tornado come down. Lo and behold, now that 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.900 you look at this path, it started right on the 00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:15.779 corner. So where that line starts, right past 00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:19.480 where that road, I guess if they do leave the 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:23.039 names on there, 120th and Spruce, right where 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.500 that corner is, is where the church is. I don't 00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:30.319 care. I don't care. This man don't give a hell. 00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:34.039 Don't give a damn. Come find me. If it's for 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:36.759 something nefarious, you won't get far. If it's 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:41.559 for something nice, you'll get very far. So anywho, 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:46.160 you know, right on that corner is right where 00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:49.180 we were looking for it. So we had just missed 00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:53.140 it. And it went from that point to the other 00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:54.839 point, and that's all there was. And then there 00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:58.619 was nothing else the rest of the day. So it was 00:28:58.619 --> 00:29:01.119 uneventful, other than the fact that I didn't 00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:06.079 have power for two days. So I got it back like 00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:10.059 last, was it yesterday night? Yesterday morning? 00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:14.039 Or like really early yesterday morning? At like 00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.400 1 a .m.? No, it was the day before. It was... 00:29:18.250 --> 00:29:20.730 Because that was Sunday, right? So we didn't 00:29:20.730 --> 00:29:24.609 have power from Sunday all of Monday And then 00:29:24.609 --> 00:29:30.630 we got it Tuesday morning at like 1 a .m So and 00:29:30.630 --> 00:29:34.329 it wasn't projected till 5 p .m. So we were very 00:29:34.329 --> 00:29:38.009 happy I was I was laying in a 90 degree spot 00:29:38.009 --> 00:29:42.250 on my bed Sitting chair style because against 00:29:42.250 --> 00:29:44.109 the wall because I couldn't sleep because of 00:29:44.109 --> 00:29:46.970 my pain as I mentioned earlier And all of a sudden 00:29:46.970 --> 00:29:49.529 and I had fallen asleep and all of a sudden boom 00:29:49.529 --> 00:29:52.430 my big LED light for my room just pops on and 00:29:52.430 --> 00:29:58.910 I'm like I just fell asleep So I tried to use 00:29:58.910 --> 00:30:02.990 my Wi -Fi to turn my light off and Nope, of course 00:30:02.990 --> 00:30:04.990 Wi -Fi wasn't started up yet. So I had actually 00:30:04.990 --> 00:30:09.250 had to get out of bed First world problems. Oh 00:30:09.250 --> 00:30:11.730 The worst world problems. Well, it's painful 00:30:11.730 --> 00:30:13.410 for me to move. So I was like, I don't want to 00:30:13.410 --> 00:30:17.829 get up On that note, we haven't even told you 00:30:17.829 --> 00:30:19.950 what we're doing this weekend, but the trailer 00:30:19.950 --> 00:30:22.269 is getting some work done. That's where I'll 00:30:22.269 --> 00:30:25.069 leave it. Things are changing. On that note, 00:30:25.250 --> 00:30:27.509 we'll catch you guys later. See you.
