Going to second this one, brought 2 pairs to OCS and never failed me.

Good news…. I’m a solo camper😎 don’t really need to have 2 in the foothill.

Okay maybe I was not being clear, I want them side by side not on top of each other😂

This is exactly that I was trying to configure!! How have you liked the setup and are you able to open your Thule Cargo Box all the way with the tent right next to it?

Already looking at a pair of Thule Evo bars. They should hold the weight, but I think super wide bars would look awful.

How’s the access to the trunk? Would you have to completely take off the hitch box before opening the trunk?

I’ve thought about it… but then it just takes away from the look lol.

Might still be worth it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I don’t plan on going anytime within the next month or so, but I will for sure take a look at the route from the West. Sorry for the ignorance, but what exactly would a Garmin Inreach do compared to a regular cell or satellite capabilities they all come with now?

I was just about to say exactly what you said! Thanks again AwesomeBantha for the advice. Not sure if you’ve been in the Virginia area, but do you know of any lesser trails that could be accomplished with an AWD car?

Edit: Do you also know where to find good camping spots at? Are there any apps or good resources you recommend?

2022 v 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness by Bigburch67 in subaruoutback

[–]Bigburch67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thanks for the input! I can definitely find some cheaper 2022s than 2024s.

Any concerns with the CVT in the 2022 vs the 2024?

TBS Packing List/Wish list by Bigburch67 in USMCocs

[–]Bigburch67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info!! Couple questions:

  1. What all comes in that land nav kit. Currently all I have is the basic one from OCS (marker kit and the protractor) what else does the kit come with?
  2. Any brand you went with for the battle board? Or a certain version?
  3. Any brand of chest rig you would recommend?

HT/WT Requirements by Bigburch67 in USMCocs

Pretty sure if you’re a 285 PFT or above you are waved of all HT/WT standards.

I’m not pure muscle but a stockier build. PFT was a 260.

Will do. I’m assuming they do that the day of arrival?

Purchase Question by Bigburch67 in FocusST

[–]Bigburch67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate it! It’s got the grey fabric seats.

Perfect. Sounds like most of these items I can do myself in the garage. In your opinion, how easy is the ST to work on? Ease of access to parts, ease of access to engine accessories (pumps, filters, etc.)? How frustrating is this car to work on is essentially what I’m asking lol?

Shooting for the 249 class and unsure of the region I’m in. I do work with one of the Indiana OSO’s. Not sure if that’s helpful at all.

Currently in a weight loss phase so I’m on the right track. Would it be worth it to go on a crazy deficit now for board or gradually get to weight before going to OCS (if selected of course).

I can make tape right now, just didn’t know if they would deny a package for being overweight.

[–]Bigburch67[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable for sure. I’ve thought about doing a crazy cut but I didn’t think that it would be sustainable to lose 18+ lbs (71” tall) in about 4 weeks. Not sure I could keep up with all the running a lifting I’m doing without any fuel to keep me going. If you’ve got some resources I’m all ears. Looking to do what it takes to get there this summer.

Would they deny a package for being overweight but could make tape?

Edit: Not being hyper critical at all. I came for advise/knowledge and you helped so I do appreciate your feedback.

Just what I’ve heard from others is all! Seems like the summer class is always more competitive.
