New pictures and new uses for the Pelican 9500SLS Shelter Lighting System

We might have sold the first one in the entire country. Either way definitely have the newest pictures outside of Pelican’s official marketing. Take a look at this amazing lighting system with more uses than just the military.

How to protect food from animals when camping (HowCast)

The best tip was don’t keep food in your tent, “or it and you might be the next meal.” Keeping your food away from you and away from animals is big deal.

Trail camera (Reconyx RC55) catches bobcat, elk, buck, coyote and bears

Amazing look at animals in the wild as the amble down the trail when they think no one is looking. The Elk and the deer are the only animals that seem to notice the camera.

Day 1.5 (Friends, family, & head clearing in 30 days or less): Stuck
Day 1.5 (Friends, family, & head clearing in 30 days or less): Stuck

In my previous travelogue I relayed what started out as a fairly mundane first day of travel across the desert and ended in a harrowing “I’m stuck in the desert and I can’t get up” near tragedy. This post is an overly melodramatic and only mildly fictionalized accounting of those hours in Lordsburg, New Mexico.

Day 1 & 2 (Friends, family, & head clearing in 30 days or less): 3:10 to Yuma

This is the first of many musings for this journey, affectionately dubbed (by necessity for my registration with CouchSurfing.org), “Friends, family, & head clearing in 30 days or less.” Many updates to my trip will be posted to various social networks throughout each day but every so often I will be posting these longer updates.
