Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately I’m working up to Thanksgiving. I’m planning on heading out that way on Friday though and spending the weekend. Please keep me in the rotation if you have any future trips planned.

iOS 11.0.3.1021 I’m encountering a problem that I’ve had since the early days of the App. I never did figure out how to resolve it and have just been dealing with it all this time. I am almost exclusively using an iPad when accessing the App. The problem is that as soon as I launch the App...

I still have it and she’s still for sale…

I've decided to move on from my Free Spirit RTT. This tent has been used approximately a half a dozen times and is in excellent condition. It has no rips, tears or flaws and has been cleaned, removed, and stored indoors when not in use. It has the Tri-Layer fabric that has proven to be...

ARB 50qt. fridge slide. This was purchased prior to installing my American Adventure Labs rear storage platform. I decided to go with their fridge slide instead of the ARB one. The slide is brand new, never used and still in the original packaging. I'm asking $300 and I would prefer to sell...

I'm finally getting around to selling this slide after switching from a Dometic fridge to an ARB. The slide is brand new and has never been used. I no longer have the original packaging however. It lists on DFG's website for $285.98. It comes with all four nylon tie-down straps and six...

Hello Ron, my wife Kathy and I are interested and would like to join you guys on this trip. Any chance you have any additional info? We live in Temecula, we drive a Jeep JLU with RTT, and we’re fairly experienced in overlanding, camping, crawling. For some reason, neither of us has toured the...

The wife and I just returned from our trip. I highly recommend staying at or at least swinging by the Geologist’s Cabin. Echo Canyon was beautiful, as was Titus Canyon. As far as natural wonders, the Valley is full of them, not the least of which are Ubehebe Crater and the Racetrack Playa...

Hi RAMf1, I hope you enjoy Butte Valley as much as we did! We stayed at the Geologist’s Cabin. Jeff and Kathy Oldham if your reading the sign-in book

Thanks so much RAMf1! That’s precisely the info I was looking for. Not sure yet where we’ll be camping on Wednesday but I’ll definitely keep my eyes peeled for your white Lexus! Thanks again and safe travels!

Yes, hello PortageBay, the wife and I are heading out that way tomorrow or the next day. We plan to disperse camp and are tentatively planning on entering the park from the Ballarat area, down through Mengel and camping in Butte Valley on the first night. In your posts I’ve seen you mention...

Hello, the wife and I are trying to plan a lttle overland getaway for the early part of January. We wanted to head off to Death Valley for a few days/nights, wander around, see some sights, and do some primitive camping. We might head over to the Mojave Road at some point as well. When...

@Michael and @Jim SoG, Thanks guys for the quick and positive response!!

This is not a rant, just a suggestion. I recently purchased three gift memberships for three of my overlanding buddies. Each of them were grateful and eager to sign up. I happened to be present while one of them was signing up and imputing his discount gift code and I was surprised when he had...

I agree with BlueLineOverland - The FSR Readylight is an awesome piece of equipment! It lights up the campsite, has detachable mini-lights that I hang in the tent and it can charge my cell-phone. All this and it easily re-charges via solar. Worth every penny in my opinion!

We use mainly a two-person sleeping bag. When we are in really cold temps (below freezing) we usually drape an extra blanket over the top of the bag. Up to now I have always removed the sleeping bag and blankets when closing up the tent. The air mattress deflates and lies nearly flat so it...

Off The Grid Surplus

I own the High Country 55” version and love it. From a comfort aspect, the wife and I both sleep in there with total comfort. It’s plenty large enough, the tent stays warm (we have the tri-layer edition), and it is very well made. We do use an additional, small blow-up mattress, to enhance...

I second the DFG Off-road recommendation. I purchased one recently for my Dometic fridge and it is really well made. Aluminum too so it’s much lighter than the Dometic factory model.

Sale is pending...
