Hiking Guadalupe Peak Highest Point in TEXAS to celebrate 60th Birthday!

Hiked Guadalupe Peak for the first time to celebrate my Dad's 60th Birthday. Left school and drove straight to Pine Springs campground. The next morning the family joined me and we hiked up to the summit. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it! Be sure to reserve a spot at Pine Springs Campground as it is no longer first come first serve.

Ford Expedition Leather Seat Cover Replacement - The Seat Shop
Просмотров 24 тыс.3 года назад
The Ford Expedition now has 220,000 miles on it and has a lot of wear and tear on those seats. Our passenger seat was a little ripped up and it was time to put on a replacement. I ordered the vinyl seat cover replacement from The Seat Shop (www.theseatshop.com) and it was so easy to install. Looks great too! *Not a paid promotion. I just really liked the product and they are Texas based!*
Pop Up Camper Roof Rot Removal and Replacement
Просмотров 22 тыс.3 года назад
In this video I cut out a portion of a pop up camper roof and replace it. There was lots of wood rot on the back panel of this camper roof. I cut it out and replaced it, then fiber-glassed the seam. There are lots of ways to fix this type of rot, this was what I was able to do in my driveway on a cheap budget. Follow us on Instagram @Practical_Camper Happy Trails!

    Why not some sort of pressure treated plywood? The factories could design something more durable. Its a shame that they make someone like you or me do repairs like that. Even if the wood was treated with some sort of deck/patio waterproofing it would be an improvement over the choices the factories made.

    I’m sure you e figured it out by now, but the small 110g (4oz) cans will last a 3-4 day backpack trip depending on how many boils you need a day. I only use those and top it off before each trip from a large can with the g-works gas saver plus. No need to take the large cans unless you plan on being out a week or more, and bonus the small cans will usually nest inside a small pot WITH the pocket rocket. Cheers!

    I came here hoping to see how you got the top off? I cannot get mine off. Perhaps a little wd40 to the slots to lubricate so it will slide in its chambers to come off? I love my Coleman lantern. I have had it for over 5 years. But I find it flickers at times and I have to give it a knock to light up. I cleaned battery terminals. There was some corrosion there. But I just wanted to have a peak inside at top to make sure nothing up there was loose?

      Just for clarification, this has an electric pump that pumps clean water into the bowl, and a manual ball valve that dumps to the lower tank. Used it for the first time in a LONG time a month or so ago, and it has held up just fine. I was worried the batteries would corrode, or something would fail from not using it, but it fired right up.

      Seems to tow well. This is my in-laws camper, so I dont personally pull it. But I put a weight distributing hitch on the trailer and it barely even squats that pilot. (2008 Honda pilot AWD) they've pulled it on several long trips with no issues. Their one complaint is that it does put a considerable dent in the fuel economy.
