Finding the Perfect Vehicle for Your Hobby

Finding the Perfect Vehicle for Your Hobby Many hobbies require travel time, storage, and a reliable vehicle. The thing about having a hobby is that it plays a big part in your life, you enjoy it, and you don’t want to give it up. If your hobby is refurbishing furniture, then you probably do quite a bit of traveling to garage sales, or swap meets to find those good deals. If you have a love for fishing, you probably do a lot of driving to find the best fishing holes like lakes, streams, or the oceans. If you hunt, you may also do quite a bit of traveling to different hunting grounds depending on what type of game you are hunting. Deer hunting can grow weary, and you might want to change it up a little bit by hog hunting or elk hunting. Now if you’re born and bred in Texas, you know that you have absolutely no problem finding wild hog, however, if you want to shoot something more substantial like elk you have to travel. Another hobby that many people may not think of, however, is ve

In Need of a New Work Truck?

In Need of a New Work Truck? When it comes to needing a good work vehicle, it is really hard to top the pickup truck. In the rugged Texas environment, a pickup is really the end-all be-all, because most people that are working in Texas are working in the oilfield. Most oilfield sites are located a ways from any main roads. That means that you’re going to have to have a vehicle that is high off the ground and is able to traverse these back country roads. There are several obvious reasons a small compact car won’t safely make it down some of these rugged roads. That’s why the pickup is the best work truck, you’re able to get to and from a worksite safely. There are of course other reasons why the pickup is king as a work vehicle in Texas. Plenty of Cargo Space  Another important aspect of the work truck is the amount of cargo space it has. You have a variety of tools and equipment that you or your crew need to carry around with you to get the job done. If you throw these tools and

Sometimes You Just Need A Truck

Sometimes You Just Need A Truck There are many car people out there who prefer cars over trucks. They like the gas efficiency, easy maneuverability, and compact size of a car. Don’t get me wrong, cars are great especially if you are looking for all of these qualities. Trucks do not really offer these type of qualities. However, they do provide other qualities that compact cars cannot. Trucks are lovely traveling vehicles, they are large, so you can fit a lot of stuff in them. They also have a backend which is perfect for hauling large items such as furniture, two by fours, and camping gear. Another quality that trucks have over cars is that they have larger engines and they can typically haul horse trailers, flatbed trailers, travel trailers, pop-up campers, etc. Anything you need a lot of space for or a high amount of horsepower for, a truck can do it. What Kind of Truck Should I Get? The type of truck you get should depend on your needs or jobs you plan on using it for. If you

Your children’s experiences growing up will drastically shape their childhood and as such these fond memories will help make them the people that they become in adulthood. Besides, there’s a lot to be said about going camping. It’s nice just to get away from the city or the urban setting and spend time outdoors with nature. And luckily living in Texas, we have a variety of places to go camping. You can go to the forest of East Texas, the beaches of the Gulf Coast, the sand dunes of Monahans, or the scenic area of Big Bend. This is just to name a few. When it comes to camping in Texas, the options are unlimited. Camping Supplies Depending on how long and where you go camping, will determine what you need to pack.
