Yeah no kidding right? Good thing I had a working CB :Flipoff2:

Wait a minute.
What happened to CB bashing here?

 

[socallove]

Many of us did not have a cb

So I'm waiting for a summary of lessons learning here.

Let's see:
1) don't begin maintenance the night before a big trip
2) have required parts on hand before disassembly begins
3) don't have too much weight on your roof rack in off-camber situations
4) don't get rid of the wiring harness that others have been telling you install for the past 6 months
5) maybe 67+ pages of overheating problems boils down to just 2 or 3 simple things
6) even if you ignore #1-5 you can still have a fantastic time out in the woods

And an icon in the best Joey-tradition of posts:

Nope.
#6 is have a beer.

CB Radio? what is this the 1970's? The HAM radio tech test is designed to make you pass, and the radios are now dirt cheap. Additionally, you actually get outstanding reception over long distances.

Agreed but still difficult to arrange for everyone attending.

Oh
and I have a fishing pole and a George Foreman grill I take.

There is something VERY wrong with brining an electric grill anywhere outside a home!!!!! Is this not a camping trip? Was there a cooking fire ban?
