Jackery, Bluetti, and Anker are other options. If you're adventurous, you can also try building your own. Years ago, I built my first powerbank using a .50 cal ammo box and lead-acid batteries from dead UPSs. Prices for LiFePO4 batteries have really come down and there are so many options...

I have an RV-4 and I often hoist up solo. I basically stand it vertical so one end rests on the roof rack bar, then I lift from the bottom and slide it up and over, using the roof rack bar as a fulcrum. Sometimes I will climb up to the roof rack (my ARB has a steel mesh floor) and reposition...

I asked it to draw a 1993 Defender NAS, but it drew a bunch of D90s:

Odd, first time, it never rendered, I let it run for days, but today, it did render these fairly quickly:

How long did it take for Copilot to render those? I asked Copilot to do the same with my Range Rover Classic, and it's still rendering after 4 hrs...

There's already a thread called 'Overland Hound'

Love our OZ RV-4. It really does setup quickly, though the claim is less than 30 seconds. If you don't count setting up the guy lines and canopies, I can see how that claim can be true. The ability to link up tents and expand is also nice. Packing up is quick too, but I guess it's really...

Anyone use Opinel ? I'm thinking of getting this set to replace the cheap camp kitchen knives I currently have.

Leatherman Signal for overlanding and camping. I keep the Wave in my DD...

Actually, there are a lot of good deals this time of year. I just picked up a LiFePO4-based Jackery for a good deal, Renogy has an up to 50% sale on some stuff...

I'd be wary of LiFePO4s from Amazon that seem too cheap. I'd stick with known entities like Battleborn or Renogy if you're in the US. There are a couple of reliable brands in other parts of the world, like Oz, but I can't recall the names...

Pretty funny... Some gems: Vanlifer - Owns a bidet that shoots coffee instead of water Jeeper - Only parks on curbs Fordie - Spends 40% of his income on gas Roverhead - As rich as he is dumb

2 old girls strolling thru Peters Mill Run…

Corby’s enjoying trail riding Peters Mill Run in GWNF.

I have the RV-4, it's about 45lbs, but it does fit on my ARB roofrack, though I have to put it in diagonally if I want it to lay flat in the rack. It's definitely not a backpacking tent...
