    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    Those are interesting points, and I am by no means contradicting them - by this - my opinion: I am thankful we, the people in the U.S.A., live in a Free Market Capitalism society that allows the constitutional freedom of prosperity through hard work under the law of supply and demand rather...

    Cell boosters worth it?

    Given your "wants & needs," I would agree that the cost of a cell booster would be better spent on satellite text or communication technology. I don't have any direct experience with WinLink but I have been carrying a Delorme/Garmin Explorer SE all over the world since 2015. You can find those...

    Wanted WTB TEKTON 18mm & 21mm Ratcheting Wrenches

    Going through my tools today, I came to the conclusion that I have lost my 18mm & 21mm Tekton Ratcheting Wrenches. They are no longer available from TEKTON, and I would like to keep a matched set. Let me know if anyone has these that they would like to part with.

    From Michigan to Utah

    If Hurricane is your destination, you'll be close to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Many places to camp on the rim with easy access for this time of year. I'll shoot you a gpx pin in a PM if you're interested. . .

    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    MSR WindBurner and some Mountain House meals or MRE's for me. . . Try to keep it "high speed - low drag" most of the time but when I do cook it's typically burgers, brats or steaks over a fire.

    Cell boosters worth it?

    I've been happy with my weBoost OTR throughout travels in the Rocky Mountains and South West where signals can be weak. As mentioned above, the setup of components is essential, especially the distance between your phone or device and the interior antenna. I have tested it in many areas with...

    What to do in AZ?

    I cowboyed Sedona by horseback gathering mavericks for eight dollars a head as a young teenager. . . That area is truly magnificent but, I wouldn't go back there now with all the jeep tours and side-by-sides. . . I like more secluded explorations so for me ,. . . "if you visit Arizona only once...

    Best power solutions for running a Block Heater on an e350 w/out an outlet?

    Agreed. . . most common problems we have seen with all our Powerstrokes are the glow plug relay or the glow plug or plugs themselves. We replace them all even it one or more are bad. Not hard in the pickups but might be more difficult in a van. We do use starting fluid on our older...

    Better bought than built

    - AluCab Shadow Awning - In all my years living, working, and playing in the outdoors, I have rigged countless makeshift awnings and shelters. . . It's pricy but worth every penny for ease of deployment and sturdiness in heavy weather.

    Best power solutions for running a Block Heater on an e350 w/out an outlet?

    In my experience with PowerStrokes as long as your PCM and other operating systems are functioning correctly to adjust idle speeds up as required while idling in cold weather, you can idle your van for that long with little to no harm. If you do it on a consistent basis, you will need to change...

    Looking at doing our first month long trip..

    [ Extending a few trips from two weeks to a trip for a month should be a relatively easy transition, but since you mentioned "we," I will offer this advice about extended trips with a significant other or travel partner: "Frustration are results of mismanaged expectations" . . . with the...

I turned 60 this past Saturday and have spent many days, nights, weeks, and months alone growing up ranching in the backcountry of Colorado, on solo crossings of the Atlantic and Pacific by sailboat, numerous solo mountaineering expeditions, more than a dozen conflict, combat...
