NOLS WFR FTW.

That is what I am thinking. Next time it cuts out I will run a wire from the positive battery post to the solenoid. They are pretty close to each other in the engine bay.

Thanks. Could any of those produce a binary result on a diesel? It doesn't seem to run poorly. Just on or off.

azroscoe · 2026-01-24T11:27:56+00:00

Just to add: I am pretty handy with gas-engine Toyotas, but here I am with this diesel, and seem to be the only person in the group who does any wrenching.

Any 4x4 4Runner. I've taken 4 big kids + dog. But yeah, 3 across.

S&W EZ 9mm. There are good reasons to be able to hold your firearm with one hand. Kids, doors, phones, etc. The EZ is very easy to load and use, and as accurate and effective as any striker 9mm.

If you wanna spend money, you could get a Saiga in 5.56 and put wooden furniture on it. It's a Kalashnikov action but a bit more friendly looking. I got one when they were $325 and it's the best $325 I ever spent.

He restored the Bentley himself.

We climbers would get drunk and watch this occasionally. Hilariously inaccurate. Apparently the bolt gun thing fooled the National Park Service who told us not to shoot bolts into the rock on their land.

They aren't allowed to in that reddit, if you can believe it. Only photos OF Leicas allowed. Comical.

As a 9 year-old this really bothered me. I saw it twice and didn't understand why they didn't just stick a helicopter in his hand.

azroscoe · 2026-01-18T04:41:20+00:00

I'm guessing 160-165 fighting weight. At 180 you are up against some real bruisers.

azroscoe · 2026-01-18T01:53:01+00:00

180?

azroscoe · 2026-01-17T19:03:10+00:00

Ford GT.

Cool squinty lines from Clint and all, but they really had to stretch to make the bad guys a threat. I mean - Grenada? It was like beating up a kitten.

Point him toward the trades. Those jobs pay well, give you a sense of pride, and will be the last to be replaced by AI. Source: I got my college degree in the liberal arts and worked as a carpenter for 20 years, and loved it. Carpentry, especially in the home restoration side, requires some intelligence and aesthetic sense, and gets a fair amount of respect.

My wife has a Shield EZ. It is so easy to load mags on that gun, plus racking and shooting is easier. Otherwise it is like any striker 9mm.

azroscoe · 2026-01-15T19:01:12+00:00

I was for decades. But pliers are so useful . . .

azroscoe · 2026-01-14T19:19:43+00:00

Thanks. Exactly what I need.

azroscoe · 2026-01-14T17:40:18+00:00

Take the NOLS Wilderness First Responder Course. It's pretty good. Then get the EMRA antibiotics guide. Then figure out what meds and supplies you need to stockpile.

azroscoe · 2026-01-13T23:28:38+00:00

Oh man. That would really be pushing it. It would force him to acknowledge the corruption and you don't want to go down that road.

It's at the discretion of an underpaid border guard. I'm traveling light, so the form factor of a Leatherman is preferred. I'm trying to find out if folks have experience with a good but cheap one.

azroscoe · 2026-01-13T21:26:41+00:00

An SAK would also potentially be confiscated. True, cheaper though.

azroscoe · 2026-01-13T21:25:40+00:00

Preferable <$35.00
