Reviewer's Notebook: Garvin Industries Wilderness Accessories Roof Rack - Part I of II

Nov 1, 2005

For many off-road enthusiasts, forays into the local outback mean a mountain of gear crammed in, tied on, or towed behind their stowage-impaired steeds.

Official Project Truck - WomBAT

Nov 1, 2005

Wombat (Vombatus ursinus):"The wombat is the largest burrowing mammal. Indeed, it is such an accomplished burrower that early settlers called it a 'badger'. However, its closest relative is in fact the koala. With its short tail and legs, characteristic waddle and 'cuddly' appearance the wombat is one of the most endearing of Australia's native animals."

Reviewer's Notebook: Hawker Drycell Battery

Nov 1, 2005

Reviewer's Notebook: Manik Tail Light Guards

Nov 1, 2005

The WomBAT came from the rocky ridge trails of Southwestern Virginia, where trails are narrow and stout oaks, maples, and hickory mark the trail's edge. Those claustrophobic trails and the trees around them left me yearning for some lighting protection.

Reviewer's Notebook: Pull-Pal Anchor Model RW9000

Nov 1, 2005

As a rock climber, I understand the importance of good anchors. If you climb a route, you can top-rope with a solid anchor point at the cliff's top, lead-climb and find suitable anchor points as you climb, or free solo and be so confident that you do not need a rope or anchors.
