I had a funny experience when I went to see if I could get one of these "self winding" flashlights at my local surplus store. The guy (who was ostensibly selling them!) told me they were crap. They aren't very bright nor are they reliable. Instead he sold me a (cheaper!) little LED flashlight that h...

I've had a lot of cool people respond to my truck idea. It's giving me the opportunity to get to know and help out a lot of cool people. I really like that. As a result, we're probably going to load up with 4-5 burners, at least 3 of us will be first timers. I think I'm looking forward to this a lot...

When I first heard about BM, it was from some of these people road tripping (pun inte...

I'm Christie. I've heard about you guys for years. I'm finally to the point where I'm ready to throw all caution (and vacation time) to the wind and finally make it out there. Although, living in the bay area, I've heard a lot of people talk about it, I don't really know anyone who's going, so I'm v...
