We also have this full size, but I'd be lying if I said I expect it'll get much actual "Overland" use: -TJ

Or a person with a real, legal name of TJ... not initials, not short for anything, but on their birth certificate, driver's license, Social Security card etc. "TJ"... asking for a friend (that friend is me). -TJ

Is there any way we can revisit this? It's getting really old to get told my "name isn't valid" anytime I try to update my profile. I think you'll find reducing to a 2-letter first name requirement in account descriptions isn't going to change any threat vectors. I could see a 2-letter...

Nice Super Duty! I'm a Fool-Sizer also based out of the SF Bay Area (Palo Alto). I have a Chebbie, but it has some f3rd parts on it... -TJ

Man, you Overland differently than I do. My goal is to be as far as from civilization and people as possible. If I'm within "emergency restroom situation" drive of an established restroom I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too close to society... -TJ

Remember the backside of it is a solar panel. For that panel to be at all effective in recharging it has to have some surface area. Also, the 4 smaller lights detach and have both hooks and magnets for using away from the "head." I actually like that it's a bigger, broader primary light...

It's big, but not crazy-bright. If you cook a lot and want to light up a table as well as a BBQ/Skottle/whatever you cook on it's a good size. -TJ

I have the same one, and mostly love it. It sets up super easy and I like having the protective hard case. The only issue I have is runtime doesn't seem great. It doesn't seem like you tested runtime, curious to see what you find. -TJ

Glad you made it home eventually. How was the food (and beers) at that little restaurant? Hopefully that was at least a bit relaxing. Glad you were able to swap it after all! I got back into Palo Alto about 10pm last night. Uneventful drive back down, which was certainly welcome at that...

Awesome, I think it's @Vince Rothermund , you and I for the Sat meetup. -TJ

I'll be making the pasta I mentioned, instead of adding chicken I'm going to do some chicken skewers on the side for folks that want a protein. I also have stuff to do a breakfast scramble sort of thing in the AM Sun, but IDK how quickly/early everyone will be trying to get out of camp. -TJ

Okay folks, I'm in! I plan to leave Palo Alto around 0700 tomorrow which should get me to the Eel River Campground by ~1100. Rig pictured above, and I only have GMRS but will jump on 15. Honest question, do you do dairy? The reason I ask is I have a nice lemon-cream sauce pasta with...

Fair 'nough... let's chalk it up to misunderstanding and the nature of communicating via written word without the advantage of cues like body language and tone of voice. At the end of the day we can completely disagree, and that's fine. Being able to (politely) debate and do our best to...

You do see the irony in calling my opinion on the matter "backwards logic" in a thread about being rude, don't you? My understanding is this was on public land where OVSs (Off Highway Vehicles... not sure that is what they're called everywhere) are completely legal. I simply disagree that...

Also, quick question for @Speric and the rest of the group. Are you planning a campfire for Sat night (I haven't had a chance yet to check to see if there are any fire restrictions on, but imagine y'all already did)? Also, where did everyone land on doing a group meal/potluck on Sat night or...

I guess I'll break the echo chamber here... no, not rude. They stopped and asked if it was okay with you, if you had a problem with them riding in you could have said so at that point. Now, I imagine it never occurred to you that they would ride, not walk in. But you have to remember it...

Cool, I'd be leaving Sat AM from Palo Alto if you wanted to meet up (I can come right through San Leandro). I'll let the group/thread here know if I'm coming or not by sometime tomorrow AM, but obviously either way nobody wait around on me if you don't see me Sat. ;) This is the rig: -TJ

Hey all, I'm thinking about trying to join if that'd be alright. Unfortunately I don't think I can get away from the office down in Palo Alto tomorrow to beat traffic and join you for Fri, so I'd probably only be in for Sat/Sun. Are you still planning to meet up at Eel River/Black Butte...
