    Cheap “Tips” and “Tricks

    One of our favorite pieces of gear are the small rolls of velcro strip that we can cut to size. Since we move between vehicles we have not invested in fancy mounts and such so we use this velcro to “mount” all sorts of things. We strap our fishing poles to the roll bar, ditto our GMRS radio. It...

    Discussion - Building an Overland Vehicle Tips and Advice (feat Andrew White)

    I agree with you that Andrew is a great source of information and not afraid to give honest opinions and admits where he was not happy with his decisions.

    A Word on Wiring

    This is some good food for thought-thanks for bringing this up as I have not done any wiring but expect that will happen at some point and I would not have thought of this.

    Camp saw.

    My favorite saw for travel is the Bob Dustrude Quick Bucksaw which I have used for a number of years. Still build in MN by a family company started by a WW2 veteran and has been a staple for the canoe community for a very long time. Many similar out there now (including on OB Store) but I like...

    Overlanding Cigar Aficionados

    It would not be a surprise to see one in my hand around the evening campfire. How does everyone transport them when you are out for an extended period of time? To date I have only used a zip lock and an dash of hope to keep them from drying out while traveling.

    What is the Quintessential Camp Food?

    I like the Zacapa selections and the aged Bacardi are really nice sippers.

    Scottles Worth the Price?

    Time to throw some Grey Poupon into the fire! I just put up my review of the new iKamper Disco. This is a very pricey system that performs some tasks extremely well and others I was left wanting. That being said and the price I expect the previous comments will apply in spades but I will leave...

    The Best Explanation Of Overlanding I've Read

    Just an additional comment. I sort of thought the same thing when the link took me to XO website, not because I think they are bad people or don't have good ideas, but because I see them as primarily film makers. Doesn't mean they don't go to great places and are doing some good things but their...

    The Best Explanation Of Overlanding I've Read

    That is the very trip we are planning for later this year. Not sure if we will drive the AK Hwy back or ferry from Haines, still in the planning but the ferry sounds king of interesting. Made a good chunk of the Haul Road on my Harley in 2003, would also like to go back and complete that one...

    The Best Explanation Of Overlanding I've Read

    I think a lot of what is in the article jives with some of my thoughts in that I think "overlanding" involves a component of discovery and (for me) discomfort both mental and physical. For the definition of the article that discovery revolves around a level of overlanding that few will actually...

    Here we go AGAIN! JK unlimited inbound!

    Our 2015 JKU has 35s and a 3.5 inch AEV lift. I agree that the combo is nearly perfect for what we like to do and the tire weights/lift angles are not (knock on wood) going to cause failures down the road without additional very expensive mods. Drives like a charm on the highway and has not had...

    Garmin TREAD

    I have been curious the difference. I grabbed an Overlander on sale and connect it to my In-Reach device. It seems this unit combines the two into a single unit. I used the Overlander last year but honestly ended up using my GAIA for most of the off-road stuff due to the greater ease of...

    Air compressor for 35" tires

    I use this kit-it is strong enough to reinflate 4 35s with no break and has been reliable. It may not be the fastest on the market but I do think it is a great QPR...

    Anyone For Meatless Meals While Tripping?

    I have been eating more vegetarian type dishes over time and I have been really surprised how a bit of creativity and spices can result in some spectacular dishes.
