I always gotta laugh at that name. A couple hundred miles south of there is another lake in Bolivia called "Lake Poopo". Those floating...
I love it. The only thing missing is a confederate flag & it'll top off the whole "redneck" theme. That looks like it would be more fun...
Probably sank. Dude said the inside of the hull was inaccessible? If it's still afloat due to constant pumping or something, would it be...
I've had frayed B&S starter ropes that work for years. What I usually do with a B&S is gently tug out on the rope until the ratchet mechanism...
On every Briggs & Stratton engine I've ever messed with, the starter rope recoil thing is built into the shroud. If you remove the shroud, the...
Since you're going to be taking a car, just bring a rigid kayak. Not an inflatable. They're more streamlined and you can paddle them faster. The...
I've been saving 16.9 oz Dasani water bottles for about a year now. I've got several thousand of them now. The idea is to make some sort of raft...
What the F is "£10GBP"? Anyway a cheap way to do it is to grab three sheets of 2 inch thick (I don't know how many millimeters that is and I...
Want my advice? Grab a battery, any car battery will do for testing purposes, and an automatic battery charger with the gauge on it that tells you...
I haven't changed my design since before I heard about the Neutrinos back in the 1990's. But my design is similiar in the fact it can be...
I have an electronic "smart" charger. It gives a digital readout and I can switch between charge percent or voltage. While charging, it gets up...
No. I'm not Quist04. I called the boss, told him to switch me back to "full time" status. My raft trip is post-poned. Instead of building a...
I've checked out their website before and studied pictures of their rafts. I never copied a single thing from their designs, for several reasons....
I was gonna build the raft in the summer of 2009 and make the trip in 2010 but it ain't looking like I'm gonna be able to get the time off, due to...
All this hype and fear-mongering from idiots who buy into this "global warming" crap just makes me want to remove the catalytic converter from my...
It looks like Ample Power might have what I'm looking for. Thanks. I can access the field wire on the alternator I'm using. I have the field...
I don't need a salt-water engine. I live in Illinois. Marketing info I've read say they're supposedly good for muddy water. They're air-cooled, so...
Yeah, I'll probably just use a bank of 4 batteries and 100 watts worth of solar panels. It should take several days to run them down, then I'll...
White people would probably fail the test too. Nearly every person I talk to is ignorant about the candidates policies and voting records, thanks...
