A truly great group of Overlanders in Mexico that I had the distinct privilege of running some pretty crazy trails with. These guys are the best hosts and if any of our fellow overlanders in the USA and Canada ever want to overland in Mexico, I can't recommend highly enough that you reach out to...

Had to run outside to take a quick photo. So excuse the sloppiness of it. But I put up a 1lb propane bottle next to it for size reference. The actual dimensions are in the article I linked on my original post on this thread. Hope this helps. The footprint is so small that they live up in the...

Haha. It is adorable. We had a little kids chair for our son from REI, but Helinox sent us this little one and not only is it super cute, but it is lightweight enough that Caspian (our son) can carry it on his own which he likes doing. It gives him a sense of ownership. Now I just need to teach...

That ARB chair looks pretty slick, and I'm a fan of ARB too. I'm also curious as to if anyone has tried it. Also the footprint when folded and weight. Nice find!

Cool. I didn't know you were fulltime too. Glad you are good with what you have. As far as "pushing their product," yes, they are our gear sponsor, but that's new to us. We were fans and buyers of their equipment before they knew we existed. (I put that in the article.) Legally we have to...

We use that same little (I think it is Magellan) folding table which we picked up at Academy Sports. We like it, but the foot print for those of us in the Jeep life that can carry absolutely nothing anywhere is pretty big. But we have to confess we use that cheap little aluminum table all the...

Not sure what you use, but this is what we use. Don't know that I'll ever find anything better. I did a full review of the chairs and tables here: Best Camping Chairs and Tables for Overlanding. Super lightweight, compact and made of ridiculously strong material. We're on our 6th year of...

That's a good word OtherOrb, I like it. I'd just been wrestling with this a lot personally as I travel fulltime and I'm taking my toddler with me. So it's just been something that has been on my mind. In doing so, I decided to put my thoughts into article form. As much for my own personal...

I would say that Motorcycle Overlanders are hard core, and definitely self-reliant. You don't need a fridge or shower to be self reliant. You can find a stream and cold food is a luxury. So I would disagree with you there. I believe self-reliance is a core to overlanding. But that's just me...

Hey you are one of our newest members! Welcome to Overland Bound btw! ~ Eric

I'd really been wrestling with this for the past few weeks. There's so much snark out there in most forums when you try and discuss it and define it. I'm hoping that won't be the case here. Some say it's just glorified car camping, while others claim it is a movement. After doing my own...

We do have our Winnebago View (Basecamp) but we lived out of everything we could carry in our Jeep in Mexico (for 7 weeks) we do plan to head to Mexico again and perhaps all the way to Argentina in the Jeep. We'll see what happens. But I've no doubt that we could have lived out of the Jeep all...

Jeep with external fuel tank? Parts pretty much everywhere. Space is the issue as always but we’re doing it with a toddler as you know. The Gladiator could be an option, but too early to tell. We’ve found that we really don’t need that much in the Jeep. Recovery gear and fluids a must. But as...

Appreciate that. All credit to my wife for this article though. She really spent a lot of time on it. And honestly it could have been much cheaper if we didn't work fulltime and were just on vacation. I'd highly recommend that anyone who is looking to take a 2+ week vacation consider a trip into...

For anyone considering a trip south of the border, this is an article we wish we had before we went to help us plan out a budget. We tracked every penny and peso spent. Read the article here: Cost of Overlanding Through the Interior of Mexico We presented on this topic at Overland Expo West...

I’ve used it a couple of times but not to enter contests. It’s pretty interesting.

Count me in on Beta if you’re willing. Really stoked to try it and would love to provide regular feedback to make it the best it can be for the OB crew. Eric

I seriously cannot wait for the official Oveland Bound app. When is it coming out? Any scuttlebutt @Michael or @Corrie ??

Exploring Oregon and Washington (Jun-Jul) on our 6th year of fulltime travel.

Campendium is great! Glad you checked it out. I wish I could sit with all of these developers at once and share with them the information we actually need for fulltime travel. The things that are important to us. Most of these apps have great information, but none of them have everything we need...
