Camo from the old Pirate days passed away

[ScaldedDog]

I don't know how many of you guys used to hang out on Pirate4x4.com back in the day, but one of the founders, and a real character, has passed away. Camo was the guy who taught folks how to change a birfield with hand tools in ten minutes (though I could never do it that quickly), well before longfields made that process obsolete. He used to be active on the FTE Excursion forum, too, and had a suspension modification named after him there.

I still have my "Birfield repair kit" document from one of his Pirate posts. The creation date has been long lost, but it had to have been early 2001, at the latest.

Can you post up the document to share?

RIP Camo (Erik)

I stayed at his house in Georgetown back in 2009, before we went on a Rubicon run. He became my hero that weekend. The man did not even own a clock. He woke up when he wanted to, he went to places when he wanted to, he did everything on his own timeline. I really enjoyed his sailing adventure...
