    Hole in Mountain House meal bag?

    I just noticed one of my Mountain House meals that I bought last year has a small hole in it. Enough that nothing got in, but air can squeeze out. If exposed to air, will these meals spoil?

    Anyone still using a CB in their rig?

    I found a CB in my garage that I totally forgot I had purchased. Lately I have a GMRS radio that I use. Just trying to decide if I should keep or sell. Does anyone still use a CB or any benefits to using both in my rig?

    I'm a bit annoyed. I just ordered and received today my ARB twin compressor from Amazon. This thing wasn't cheap, over $700 for it! And this was going to be my project for the weekend. I opened up the box and first off no instructions and clearly an open box. Add to that, there is so much...
