Pick one and use only it. The absolute pressure isn't as important as being consistent. I use Longacre stuff for setting the tire pressure on my race cars. They have always been accurate, but they are also fairly expensive.

If there is one thing that always gets cooked at camp, it's a steak. It is the ultimate camp food to cook over a fire. For breakfast, it's going to be home-ground sausage and eggs with grits.

I don't see any difference.

It doesn't matter to me what you call it, but I don't consider myself an overlander, I just like to explore. Sometimes it's a multi-day multi-state or country camping trip. Sometimes it's a day trip to a road I've never traveled. Sometimes it's in a 4x4, sometimes by car, boat, or (gasp) even...

Interesting to hear country music, in English, on a radio station in Shanghai China.

I carry a USB fan that runs off a battery bank for days. I also have a Geek Air rechargeable 12" fan that will run for 8 to 20 hours depending on the speed you set it to. Edit to add links. Geek Aire 12" fan. This will move a bunch of air for about 4 hours on a charge, or a little air for...

Saturday morning I spent some time on the XJ. I changed the speedometer gear so it would read correctly. I also installed the correct cables so the parking brakes on the disk conversion would work. Sunday morning we rolled out about 7 am and put 500 miles on it beating around the back roads of SC.

I had a wheel come loose last time out. I was about 200 miles into the trip and was hearing a squeak that I tracked down to loose lug nuts. I had rebuilt both axles and installed gears and locking diffs. When I set it back on the ground I guess I got distracted and didn't torque any of the...

Jacobs Cronat Gold. Amazon carries it. It is my go-to for instant coffee. By far the best I've ever tasted.

Their website seems to imply that it works on bare metal. Your best bet is probably to call the local applier and ask.

Gas for the rig.

X-Bull 13k synthetic rope on my Xj with zero issues in the last 2 years. Badlands 9.5K steel rope on the Samurai. Zero issues in 8 years.

I'm 6'2" and 330. My preferred vehicle is an XJ. Everything about them is inexpensive and they are extremely capable. The seating room is decent, but you may need to check the head clearance. They aren't very tall. This is my Son's XJ. Bought for $1200. We had to fix an oil pan leak and a bent...

Nothing for the camping rig. The daily got new tires and an oil change.

There are a couple of options missing. My little one is 21 quarts. Perfect for me by myself or with one other for a weekend. My big one is 54 quarts.

I sunk a 15' boat in that lake when one of those afternoon storms came ripping across the lake. It sunk at anchor just off our camp site in about 2 minutes. Some of those storms whip that lake into a frenzy.

I just bought a 06 Ridgeline to use as a daily. It's been pretty impressive so far. Looking forward to updates.

Have fun! We always enjoy camping on Jocassee.

I have been strapping it to the roof rack in the bag but I'm considering getting a hard case carrier to get it out of the weather and sun. Anyone else using one or have a recommendation? I'm thinking something like this. It would also give me a place to store other lightweight items.

I use a phone app called Legal Heat. They do a pretty good job of summarizing what you can and can't do as well as tell you which states have reciprocity.
