What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Green Gren]

Needed to get outside and in the mountains. Drove up from the Bay Area to Tahoe. Explored Genoa Peak above Tahoe’s eastern shore. My late start meant I got one hell of a sunset. Had to finish the trail in the dark.

I have the bison gear molle panel on the rear door window.
I had the @OverlandGearGuy build me a Velcro panel for that molle panel and I mounted two of his first aid bags to it. The top one is bleeding and trauma, the bottom one are for things like burns, eye injuries, dehydration, splints etc.
The velcro makes it easy to rip off and take it to the scene.

Did a nice charity 4x4 event yesterday. 80 cars and beautiful weather, ending with nice Belgian beers! It was also the opportunity to teach my girl how to read/use a roadbook - she loved it - but I realized that despite all the screens and gizmos here there is no odometer to the 1/10th of km !!! Hard to follow the roadbook with each turn every 300m or 400m… I could not find something more precise than the km since reset in the stats screen. Or, am I missing something????

Smaller increments are there. There are two trip meters, at the end of the blinker stalk is a button, using that you can scroll through the options to see distance traveled and it shows every 100 meters.

You would get something similar if you record a track as well (under Pathfinder Mode).

Look at Rok Dr Guide para 19.5 and following.

Might have one in those packs, but if not - these are for shark attacks, chainsaw accidents and war wounds (they are tactical)

Tourniquet

 

[Turbine205]

Winched a very under prepared Hummer H something out of some deep sand last night. Still running 40 psi all round they’d buried themselves over the running boards.
Lots of digging and a little tug on the winch and they popped out.
The driver had no idea how to put the car in four-wheel-drive or lock the centre differential, and the truth is I jumped in the truck and tried to do it myself and it really wasn’t clear. But they followed me onto the hard stuff and didn’t vent onto the sand again.

Tournique

What uses space are things that cleans. I have a bottle of anti septic and a couple of packs of burn gel. Those are from personal experience after getting an infected cut. I also grabbed something wrong at a campfire and that burn was no fun... But the burn gel makes it tolerable afterwards.

Going into the desert I put in s bunch of dehydration packs. Those I've used, even in Moab I used them. It's really easy to get dehydrated in the desert and that messes with my critical thinking, I make worse decisions.

A bit of bleed stop powder for areas too large for a bandaid (think a big scrape). I do have a tourniquet in it but I've never used one -I've been trained in their use though. I hope I'll never have to use one of those.

Sorry, I forgot point 4 and 5

4. Pedantry comes as standard
5. Wipers get turned on in October and left on until September. Unless they are Lucas, then we take a bus.

Well Shitake is definitely British then because my wipers are on permanently and…..
It’s November

 

[Karearea]

Are Lucas making the Ineos wipers ? Because mine are on permanently and won’t turn off.

You too now or was that tongue in cheek?

 

[Logsplitter]

Not tongue in cheek. Same as you I guess. Wipers permanently on , no indicators or high beam. Lots of warnings such as reduced braking, no hill assist, no esc etc. New steering control module required. A known fault on early vins I hear.

Another Remembrance Day, so road marshalling a parade morning and afternoon in different bits of North West Leicestershire with Leicestershire & Rutland 4x4 Response, https://lr4x4response.org.uk/

Castle Donington - the usual silly questions about is it really closed; no ~I'm just here for giggles!

We were a bit spoilt as this is the Rolls Royce Brass Band and they are rather good. All over by 12:05, so then I go across the county to Whitwick.

This is the second line of restrictions and another couple of idiots asking if they could just drive through the parade!

One of the locals had knitted a topper for the Post Office Letter box - I thought it was a cracking bit of folk art.

Church service over-ran by 20 minutes, so some motorists were getting a bit het-up. It is Remembrance Day, it has happened every year since the 1920s, so it should not be a surprise. (And there were signs up for road closures for a fortnight).
