About a year ago, I lost my Titanium wedding ring in my dad’s shop when I took it off during an Airstream improvement project. With traditional rings there is always the risk of de-gloving a finger around power tools or during activities like rock climbing. I’m pretty religious about taking it off during projects. We replaced…
Our travel pace is usually pretty slow, by design. Our average ‘move’ is only about 100 miles, and we move about every 3 to 5 days. This varies of course, but we commonly travel our average pace. We have often talked about executing a ‘fast’ move to linger a little longer in one place and…
I’m a hammock guy. We added an ENO hammock to our gear collection long ago, and it comes out whenever we get the chance. We read in them, work in them, and even snuggle the kids in them. The ENO DoubleNest hammock we’ve been using have been good, but we have not been happy with…
Looking at the photos of your Atlas straps, it’s very obvious that they’ve been left in the sun for a loooong time (thread is bleached). I too am curious about the long term durability of the ultimate straps but you should know that ANY strap exposed to long term UV will eventually fail. Safe hammocking!ReplyCancel
[…] Hammocks are all the craze right now and for good reason. We use ours all the time and have found ways to rig it to the truck when two trees are not readily available. We’ve been impressed with the quality of Ultimate Hammocks, their prices, and most recently their Ultimate Hammock Straps. Definitely the lightest, smallest ones on the market right now (blog post here). […]ReplyCancel
Smartphones are a full-time traveler’s best friend, providing music, navigation, email, social media, a camera, and occasionally even phone calls. Of all the places we put our phone on a daily basis, there are two more important than most. We have a car mount that holds the phone in a good place for navigation, and…
In the photo i see you’ve attached the magnetic portion of the mount to the wall. Did you buy the whole mount and remove the magnetic part and tape it to the wall? I don’t see that these are sold separately.
Thanks for all your help and tips. Absolutely invaluable to a new AirStream owner. You’ve done all the trial and error!ReplyCancel
After spending months wandering around Florida, we were starting to miss our summer backpacking adventures. After some research on The Outbound, Jess found Cumberland Island, located in Georgia, just North of the Florida border. Although we could do just a day trip, we kind of have a thing for camping on islands (see here and…
[…] We love our silicon wedding rings! Durable, light weight, and flexible these things are super comfortable. We’ve worn ours canoeing, mountain biking, hiking, weight lifting, swimming, rock climbing, pageant acting, and canyoneering. We also have worn them to church, social events, and during our everyday activities. In fact, Sam never takes his off anymore (blog post here). […]
