As seen in the Facebook Toyota 80 Series USA page... seems some insurance companies might accept valuations from third party appraisers. Good to know. Collision Safety Consultants - http://collisionsafetyconsultants.com/

Either Ham or GMRS can be a lifesaver in an emergency situation, but honestly once you're really in the boondocks the likelihood of making contact with the outside world is low, but perhaps better if you're on a mountaintop. Ham radio wise only the lower frequency HF ham bands will have the...

Ham and GMRS licenses are $35 each for 10 years. The GMRS license covers the whole family. The VHF (146 MHz) ham band will generally provide greater distance than GMRS which is in the UHF (450MHz) band, especially in mountainous terrain. When traveling in a convoy on the highway or desert...

Wow!! ▶️ Watch this reel

I agree Ralph, I watched the entire video in this thread with interest and the proximity to the fire was my main take away from it. These Element things are not like propellant based extinguishers and the user had to be maybe less than about two arms lengths to put the test fires out with it...

The bottom line is that the Element extinguishers simply lack certification from a US recognized testing laboratory, meaning Underwriters Labs (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM). Most states, including CA, require UL or FM approval to even consider any extinguisher for state approval. The following...

I’ve got other commitments that weekend, but don’t own any guns so shooting isn’t particularly important to me.

Sure that works. PP, Venmo, Zelle, even cash all work fine for me.
