    Dog's & NOT Overlanding

    I used to take my English Lab on all of my trips. He was a great travel companion and would stop dead in his tracks if I called him back. I lost him in 2018. I adopted my current pups (pit/rot/chow/cattle dog mutts) at the end of 2019 and they have been impossible to train in comparison to the...

    Overnight power

    The 100w panel I have keeps the battery topped off with the fridge running, even on cloudy days when the rig stays parked.

    Poll: Matching trailer tire size to vehicle tire size

    No. My trailer tires/wheels do NOT match my tow rig. The trailer has it's own spare as does the tow rig. Why? I have two different vehicles that can pull the trailer; a 100 Series Land Cruiser and a Jeep TJ. There is nothing alike between the two. I selected my trailer tire size [235/75R15] so...

    Overnight power

    I have a second battery under the hood that powers all of my accessories and my trailer. This battery is charged via solar or the vehicle's alternator once underway.

    Poll: I approach trip planning by...

    I love maps. I can generally tell what sort of trail or road will be by looking at maps. However, maps are only as good as the cartographer that put them together... Since maps can be wrong, I will also try to look at local data regarding accessibility and recommendations. I also try to find...

    Extendable Rack RTT Trailer Build

    I love the simplicity and functionality of your build! How has the tent "extender" worked out for you? Care to share some details on the materials and building method you used on that setup? I quickly learned that the high RTT rack on my "Yeller" trailer build is too high when on technical...

    Nice build up, but the detail work is really top notch. Awesome!

    Freespirit Recreation (FSR) - 55" Evolution Issues

    That is a very disappointing response from FSR!

    I tried their hot sauce at MOORE. I was underwhelmed.

    Ham radio network?

    The Garmin Rino has been able to broadcast digital data on GMRS since the early 2000's thanks to a waiver Garmin received from the FCC, but I don't think anybody has integrated the data into APRSDroid. It works pretty well, but the system is not nearly as robust as APRS. I recently picked up few...

    Amazon Fresh isn't available in the middle of nowhere Kansas. Can you share a picture of the bins? I am curious to know what they are!

    Best DIY organization

    The Pelican style cases are fantastic at protecting something valuable; firearm, drone, can of spam, etc. However, they have a lot of wasted space and are pretty heavy. Does your kitchen gear really need to be locked in a bombproof case? I have been using the 22" Ridgid toolbox and organizer...

    MOORE offroad expo Springfield Missouri April 8-10

    I showed up early Saturday morning and stayed until the afternoon. The MOORE show was pretty impressive this year. Not one, not two, not three but FOUR halls (including outdoors) of vendors and products. It is amazing how much they have grown in just a few short years. As such, it has...

    My Little Trailer Build!

    Ah dang, looks like I'll miss the trailer. I'll be at MOORE on Saturday for as long as I can stand the crowd.

    My Little Trailer Build!

    If I spot your trailer at MOORE I will be sure to check it out. I'll have my 'yeller' trailer there too. What is your plan for camping while at MOORE?

    Spare tire

    All 5. A 5 tire rotation will also make your tires last longer, so its a win-win.

    Big Iron Overland Rally

    The weather will be much like Florida's "Swamp Donkey" just a little less heat and humidity.

    Cheap utility trailer build

    It really depends on your wheel and the wheels hub opening. I run a Jeep "Turbine" wheel with no spacers on my Dexter 3,500lb axle. The "Turbine" wheel hub is big enough to let the trailer hub pass through.

    Garmin TREAD

    On paper the TREAD is the do it all, rugged and waterproof Garmin device that everybody has wanted for years. I would love to have one, but I am not excited about the price tag... especially for a NEW Garmin release. Garmin's history of initial release bugs/issues is quite rich. I hope to pick...
