Yes, you can use the BTECH GMRS-Pro on your motorcycle’s Bluetooth communicator! Or pretty much any Bluetooth headset for that matter. The Difficulties of Cross-Species Communication I ride motorcycles (specifically a dual sport in regards to two-way radios), off-road in my Jeep with groups, go hunting, hiking and kayak fishing. The problem with trying to
Overpriced and Worth Every Penny There are some products you purchase which are quite simply overpriced for what they are but because they deliver on their promises so perfectly they’re worth every outrageous penny. The Superfeet Hike Cushion (previously the ADAPT Hike Max) are that type of product, at least for my hiking boots. I
I’ll link to my treatise on what I look for in a hiking boot here, for a much deeper dive. These boots have been discontinued but look like they’ve been replaced by the Lowa Alpine Expert II GTX. Looks like a very similar boot with a few minor upgrades to the lacing system. These are
I’ll link to my treatise on what I look for in a hiking boot here as they have every feature I look for in a boot. Much deeper dive into the technical specification and reasons there. Copy and paste almost everything from the Asolo TPS 535 Evo here; the Zamberlan 1996 VIOZ LUX GTX RR
I’ll link to my treatise on what I look for in a hiking boot here but suffice it to say these boots were well loved. I adored these boots and to date I think they’re just about the best boots I’ve ever owned. I ran them hard and put them away wet for over 10
As a large, self-proclaimed Adonis of a man who hikes in disparate conditions I ask a lot from a pair of hiking boots and have destroyed inferior quality footwear in a matter of months. I need superior traction, exceptional durability, stability, and weather resistance while being comfortable. How I define “hiking”: My typical hikes run
TLDR: If you have the scratch and can make really good use of the features the Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar is amazing and has an exceptional battery life. However, it’s incredibly large on any wrist and prohibitively expensive. Background: I’m not a smartwatch type of person and to-date they’ve held just shy of zero
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: Graphic photos of hunt… Pork chops, tenderloin, B.B.Q. ribs, and many other delicious dishes are what any carnivore like myself would love to cook and eat over an open fire. Hunting is a resourceful and adventurous way of obtaining that delicacy. To me, it’s a rite of passage as we grow in
I’m a sport bike rider so buying helmets is rather simple. Snell/ECE certification and best reviews and I’m basically on my way. I previously had an Arai RX-7 Corsair which served me well for quite a few years, with the only problems being their ridiculous side-pod, ADSIS or Super ADSIS or some other
It was 3 months after I bought my jeep and I made some upgrades for my first Overland trip. My friends and I were wrenching in the garage almost every weekend until our Labor Day trip. We installed: Rock Hard Oil Pan Transmission Skid Plates, Smittybilt Rock Sliders, and Rubicon Express 2.5″ lift. I had
The name Calscadia came from a portmanteau of the CAL from California where I reside and SCADIA for the Cascades, where I’m from originally as well as in reference to Cascade Locks where I adopted a beloved Bernese Mountain Dog. I started this website and social media as an outlet to talk about the adventures I take, the people I meet and the gear I abuse along the way. When I talk about gear, I’ll tell you what works, what doesn’t and why I came to that conclusion. I purchase my own gear, am not sponsored and won’t put ads on videos because I hate that as much as you do. I may get money from affiliate links but you’ll always know that in advance. Hopefully I’ll see you out there!
