    Picked up a Salsa Mukluk

    I have been looking at fat bikes for a couple years and finally picked up a mukluk 3 on sale. I like that it has so many mounting points built in for adding racks and bottle cages. I'm still waiting for snow, but so far it has still been a blast riding it on the trails. I would be interested...

    Test of the Solarblvd 160 watt portable solar kit

    I recently purchased the 160 watt portable kit from solarblvd, mainly to keep our camp trailer battery charged while camping, but I also plan on adding a fridge to my 4runner soon so I plan on using the solar to keep the vehicle battery charged. The 160w size is really more than I need...
