    550 / 560 Go big or go home

    I do a bit of trail work in the Florida Panhandle all through the summer. My go to heat warning is the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature. It takes into consideration temperature, humidity, wind, and sun exposure plus exertion level/ clothing. But you are right that temperature and humidity, combined...

    Autowbrake Install

    I decided to add an Autowbrake controller. I used a connector block instead of splicing the connections. To tap into the trailer light wiring I removed the right tail light and spliced in a section of four wire trailer ribbon cable. I routed the free end into the electrical compartment. I had...

    Furnace Electric heater warning

    The one time I had a voltage drop to where the ac would not start was when a Tesla was plugged in at the next site. The driver was sleeping in the car over night.

    Questions about help in an emergency

    I use Garmin devices (GPSmap H1E) with inreach. The most recent devices allow photos in addition to text. When I’m out on forest roads i send my location every 10 minutes to my wife (tethered). The links seem to work well. Years ago I carried an Iridium phone. Garmin has different plans that...

    Electric bike

    Be aware of the legality of the different levels of ebikes on roads and government lands. In Florida a class 1 can be ridden like a bicycle. A class 2 or 3 is not allowed in state forests/parks unless registered as a motor vehicle (which is not possible).
