Huh. I need a shirt in "husky and always carries a pistol." My dress shirts are 19/37, my jacket is 54. That's what I get for powerlifting for a number of years and genetics. If you want a laugh, my wedding band is a 14.5, so my text messages are usually an exercise in "getting it close."

Heads up if you're in Texas, Buc-ees has the big RTIC tumblers in stock and on the shelf for $19.99, just Yeti for coolers though.

Whuffo is the best term I have to describe the type of person, it's a skydiving term for non-jumpers. It comes from "wha for you jump outta dem aeroplanes" which is the question that 99% of the world gives a skydiver as a first response. HAM whuffo, there has to be a better term for it, is...

Looks cool, with top and bottom rockers it looks a bit like a 3-piece patch, though. I would be hesitant to have it on my rig in that fashion due to the stupidity of some 1%'ers. Not for any sort of "respect" for their club, but for being wary of any sort of vandalism, some of them have room...

We use a 10x10 canvas wall tent. It is the most awesome tent you can use, unless you're trying to backpack it somewhere! http://talesofadventures.net/wall-tent/

How much for a regional metal ring to fit around the member badge?

It took me a second to go "which NAPA" because that's the local parts house I use...:grin: Welcome to the land of misfit toys in search of adventures in the outdoors!

The traveling sticker could look like an OB passport stamp!

Maybe a new "traveling" center sticker instead of the standard OB sticker, something to make it stand out. Your region rockered on bottom, destinations on top? Or switched?

Rockers are a cool idea, I like it! To earn a rocker for a region visited you have to actually camp in the state or area.

I'll be happy to design a sticker but I'm too busy to be a regional czar of overlanding...I can't even speak Russian.

I have a sticker guy, I have Illustrator and I have the desire to make a Texas OB sticker...although I'm sure that @administrator has a sticker guy too. If the vector art was to be passed along for the outline, the font name given, I'd put together Texas sticker, no problem! EDIT: Instead of...

I've already given stickers to my two buddies whose rigs and families make up the rest of the big group doing the three week adventure this June.

TL;DR: don't cheap out, keep your tires young, keep them aired properly and loaded properly. Generally every single manufacture has had a products failure at some point. You often won't hear about it, there are often no public recalls and it is sometimes due to the civil suits being settled...

Old motorcycles may or may have been used in a novel series...:kissing: Ok, joking aside, EMP rig survival might be an interesting side topic. Especially even if not traditional Preppers I think overlander types would tent to get to the woods if something long term happened.

You'll be walking in circles unless your rig is old enough to run on points... There may or may not be a novel series featuring some overlanding rigs come bug out vehicles about such a topic (and zombies)...:kissing:

Ram x-mount on the dash, that way the BadElf dongle can see the sky. The mount is attached with gorilla glue and screws into the foam instead of taking the whole dang dash apart. I've had it there for a year without a problem (it'll probably fall off now) The dongle has a usb pass through for...

I use a hand drill for such things often, but it takes forever because I start small and progressively work up in but size. I end up drilling the same hole a half dozen times or more. You may be doing that too, in that case I've got nothing and it sucks you're breaking bits.

Are you lubing as you drill?

Cheap bits? The good ones cost nearly 10x's as much at times but is worth it for some things.
