    4x4 Wars Heating Up!

    Jeep, in an effort to capture the micro end of the market and get back to its roots, has JV’ed with Mahindra to create the new Mahindra/Jeep Rubicon! Or maybe someone has a sense of humor-

    New cooking pots and pans

    I found the same thing when I first got some carbon steel and still find them a bit harder to season initially than cast iron, which is why this pan was so surprising to me. Over time I have grown to use them a lot and they have seasoned very well and become as non-stick as my CI-though I do use...

    New cooking pots and pans

    I am curious what benefits you found lacking in carbon steel vs cast iron? For sure everyone has their favorites and I won't say carbon or cast are what everyone needs as cooking styles are so individual and that is what makes the world go round!

    What is your biggest problem?

    I wish there were more dispersed camping areas east of the Rockies and an easy to use global translator (Google Translate a bit clumsy) to make international travel a bit less intimidating.

    New cooking pots and pans

    I have not posted many videos lately for fear of being accused of "self-promotion" instead of my intended goal of passing on some knowledge, but I just tested a new camping skillet made by OXO, which is a well respected designer of kitchen gear. They have come out with a new line of...

    New cooking pots and pans

    We have the Ceramica version and love it. Weight keeps it from gluing on every trip but performance is superb.

    I love Gaia, but I really wish...

    I too did a 5 year Gaia subscription ($149 if I recall correctly) and am not inclined to start another until the time comes. I find Gaia adequate for my needs. I did do Trails Off-road for and really like the ability to find pre-mapped trails with commentary, highlights and campsites. It would...

    A New Recipe For Colder Weather

    @grubworm you may just have unearthed the next must have Overlanding item! Any idea how much solar it takes to recharge?

    Interesting thoughts to ponder! What's your take?

    I am not sure why it is an either or proposition? I am very happy when traveling to use a GPS device and Gaia MVUM overlays offline-they work great, you can plot routes ahead of time etc. At the same time you can often hear me saying I wish I had a paper map as well because you can open that map...

    The best camp light I've ever used!

    Looks like a great light kit and the solar back is a very solid idea. I wonder about the size for a lot of folks in smaller vehicles but otherwise it looks really nice!

    Tiny A cabin...

    This is a great thread. We have been considering doing something like this for a long time but have yet to pull the trigger on any land that can be used accordingly.

    What is the Quintessential Camp Food?

    Man I am just the opposite-I was a big bourbon drinker before the bourbon boom hit, now I cannot find any of my old regulars so I have moved on to other stuff - Scotch where you can find a 15 year old in a good liquor store, rum and tequila. When I do drink bourbon now it is the good QPR stuff...

    PLB

    When you say nothing do you mean no response or no signal as the valley interfered with the line of sight to a satellite? If the latter would that interfere with a PLB as well?

    Honey, why do you drag so much stuff along?

    This is the kind of comment that I usually end by saying "until I am blue in the face"
