📷 Try the ‘log cabin’ method for building a fire. Start with two parallel logs, then place two more across them in the opposite direction. Continue stacking, making each layer smaller and forming a pyramid shape. Place your fire starter and kindling in the middle, using enough kindling to ignite the fire without blocking airflow.

Quenching is an ancient metallurgical process that hardens forged metal and minimizes imperfections as the steel cools. Combined with drop-forging, this technique ensures striking tools are both hard and durable, ready for the toughest jobs.

Great testimonial!

From our friend Rich Durant:
“We won’t go anywhere without two Pull Pal RW14000’s on the back of our camper! We just got back from 10 weeks on the Baja peninsula where we managed to get stuck twice. Our Pull Pals got us out both times! Our truck is pretty heavy at 18000 pounds traveling weight. They are priceless!”

📷 Run what ya’ brung! Heard at many’a local drag strips - it’s a call to drive what you have now, not what you WANT to have or build. Becoming a better driver isn’t a pursuit of driver aids, or truck modifications; rather, it’s about learning to drive the truck at its most basic. The best drivers got that way by mastering the basics: basic controls and basic dynamics devoid of lockers and crazy articulation, and big tires. Learn to run what’ya brung!

Did you know you can use your to break a tire bead on the trail? Now you do!

📷 You know those commercials showing the new “Your Name Here” rolling through a puddle, stream, or ford at ludicrous speed creating the “hero-splash”? Yeah…don’t do that. Not sure how it became fashionable to show a driver what NOT to do on national TV but we live in interesting times. Forcing mud, silt, debris, and water - at pressure - through your radiator(s), condenser, then into your engine bay where it finds its way into aaaall kinds of nooks and crannies is about as dumb as it gets! If you’re shooting a commercial and you’re driving someone else’s truck with a production crew, craft services table, and haul vehicle then what the hell right? Crossing or fording any kind of water ain’t about speed and it certainly isn’t about “the splash”.

📷 “There is perhaps nothing more injurious and detrimental to your truck’s brakes, drivetrain, frame, and body than mud! With a fleet of over 20 trucks, it takes a big chunk out of our maintenance budget. It’s nature’s rubbing compound on rotors and pads, it loves to hold moisture in all the nooks and crannies of your frame and bodywork, and it’s a great way to spend the drive home in something akin to a paint shaker as it defeats the purpose of your wheel weights. Mud loves finding its way into transmission linkage and suspension and steering joints; and oooh the “wonderful” things it does to a winch! If you can, avoid it, if you have to drive through it do so prepared with a forethought for recovery. Don’t spend an hour trying to fight your way through mud. And for the love of all thing holy and good in this world - when you get home clean your truck thoroughly!”

A winch is a valuable and important recovery tool. Not everyone has one, not every situation calls for winching from the front of a vehicle. are a versatile option for winching when an electric winch isn’t available or when pulling from the side or behind is the best option.

Meet Philip John Harrah. This is his 1905 invention, the Automatic Combination Tool (aka Handyman and ). 4 and 5 generations later, the company is still owned by the same Harrah family, and still produced out of the same factory in Bloomfield, Indiana. 🇺🇸

If you’ve ever bought a new Hi-Lift® Jack, you’ve probably noticed “rub marks” on the front of the Upright Steel Bar. These rubs or scrapes aren’t manufacturing mistakes or finish defects. In fact, they are referred to as “Testing Scars”, and these scars are a purposeful part of the manufacturing and testing process.
Prior to each Hi-Lift® Jack leaving the facility, they are tested twice to ensure quality, load capacity, and functionality. At the end of the Hi-Lift® Jack assembly process, every Jack is tested to ensure it will support its rated load capacity of 4,660 lbs. Every Hi-Lift® is then moved to a testing machine where each Jack is lubricated and lifts and lowers a 750 lb. load. It’s at this point in the testing process that every Hi-Lift® Jack earns its “Testing Scars”. These scars are proof to customers that they care enough to make sure that every Hi-Lift® that leaves the facility is a quality tool that is dependable and reliable. Their goal is 0% defects, 100% customer satisfaction. “Testing Scars” are just part of that process. 🇺🇸💪🏻

📷 The “vehicle 360” - or “morning PMC.” Simply put, it’s an inspection of all sides of one’s truck, including tires, and shown here, under the hood. A long day of wheeling can take a “silent toll” on your truck and discovering a potential problem at camp or home BEFORE you end up in the middle of nowhere with a breakdown is certainly preferable. Why is the brake fluid a bit lower this morning as compared to yesterday? Is that coolant or….? Why is that tire(s) going almost flat every morning. Wait, is that upper ball joint even connected to the upright?? DO yourself a favor, take them time to thoroughly inspect your rig BEFORE you head out on the trail or to work on Monday.
