Spend some time over on SteelSoldiers. I decided against a Deuce for two reasons: Top speed (45 mph) and tire life expectancy (5,000 miles). But I love seeing them around.

The cure for anxiety is confidence. Confidence is the product of achievement. Help her achieve.

Whisky Wednesday? Works for me!

Moab, Arches and Canyonlands can be largely lumped in together. If things are busy in one spot, the other is minutes away. Plan on using part of your time there to seek out the things you want to do the next time you are there. I do not know of any good boondocking options in the area. I...

Yep. And even with whatever has been done for protection since then, there is enough corruption among those who still have the authority to access that data that it makes sense to not advertise what you don't have to.

It is always best to practice your breaking of stuff on pavement. The tow bills are much more affordable there.

For my own sake, I regard Thor Heyerdahl's "Kon Tiki" trip and Tim Severin's "Brendan Voyage" as examples of overlanding. Those were epic journeys. That they crossed water instead of land does not matter to me. It is the same spirit. If anything, the word "overlanding" is what fails to...

That is pretty neat. I like the details about the river crossings, particularly the ones involving taking the cars across on the bottom of the river. The rope with the buoy on it sounds like something learned from someone else's previous failure. What came to mind for me is a car on display...

Spam is the one thing I have noticed has not seemed to get fully restocked on the shelves. There will be a few cans, but only of one type. I wonder if the problem is that it can't make it past Louisiana. Hmm...

Sounds like a Search & Rescue situation. Just have to find the jack-knifed 5th wheel on the trail.

But where was the fair lady? I should think Bigfoot had her slung over his shoulder or something like that.

That right there is the elite of the elite. You are at the apex when you take your whole house overlanding with you.

I know this really belongs in Land Use, but I would like to request that it be left here for the next 3 days so that it will get more visibility. Time is of the essence. This just showed up yesterday on NAXJA, posted by a member who just saw it NC4X4: I will add to that, from the website...

Location is everything. If you are remote enough then there won't be many folks to pose a threat. I certainly would not want to set up camp next to a highway and then leave everything sitting there visible to all the world. You may find that some areas have folks who are set up and just...

OMG!! Cultural appropriation!! Maybe it doesn't matter if it is for a good cause? :wink:

Thank you for the education on what they really are. At least anymore. Those materials would probably at least break down with UV exposure (i.e. sunlight). Buried in the dirt they probably last a long time.

I don't know what those things are made of anymore, but cotton it certainly is not. Among other reasons, cotton would burn. Of course, being essentially a flower it would bio-degrade before long. And as you have noted they seem to last forever. Among the materials those filters have been...

Like so many other details, carry a spare.

Sweet!! That is the sort of build I would expect to see at SEMA. Well done.
