    rtic coolers are on sale currently

    Get your RTIC products while you can - because they've just been nailed for Patent Infringement. YETI filed a lawsuit against RTIC in 2015 and the courts ruled that a majority of their products are a carbon copy of YETI's. What does this mean? Well, the people who run RTIC are turds and they...

    Factory tow point or use hitch?

    Tow points really are the way to go - as that's what they're designed for. A Class III hitch or higher with a welded ring or D Ring insert with the proper pin will work fine too - but there are a lot of unknown variables there unless you installed the hitch yourself.

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    We would get kicked out mid-wash, under the cover of night... It sucked!! But yes, it was a badge of honor!

    Winter Boots - Vibram Arctic Grip

    I just wanted to throw a little technology and science everyone's way via boot outsoles.. Because, as a group of people who spend a ton of time outside in the elements, it's nice to be prepared. Now, before I get into it - yeah, you can buy Yaktrax and Microspikes to improve your traction on...

    Show me some new Gear you got for Christmas

    This year was about books and bourbon, and boy howdy - that's alright by me. "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen "Roddy" by Roddy, Colt, and Ariel Toombs Blanton's Single Batch Bourbon It was also the first year that our 3 year old really was "into" Christmas and man, I could take a page from...

    Overland Gear For Winter: How to Prepare for Cold!

    I'm with you there. The colder and snowier - I find myself out there pushing myself. I spent a weekend of gear reviewing up in my primitive camping cabin in VT last year. It got down to the -20's at night, but we were already out there and dealing with it - the challenge was getting through...

    Quick Fists

    Quick Fists were initially a last ditch effort for me - as the set up I was originally looking for was priced out of my price range and to build it myself was even more money! So I settled on QF's and couldn't be happier. I currently use them to hold my Axe in place and they don't budge. That...

    EDC Pocket Organizer

    So back before it got cold and snowy here in New England, I started this thread regarding the Yellow Birch Outfitters Poc-Kit EDC Organizer - and since then I have been using mine and absolutely love it. To back up, I rely on two, now three, specific pouches in my day to day life - and I can go...

    North-East OB presence?

    There's always one in Ashville, NC in October: http://www.overlandexpo.com/east/ Which isn't really Northeast, but its like Mideast... Or something... There's also one in VT which is smaller and looks completely awesome, but I don't have the info for that in front of me.

    Matchless Campfire

    Here's the message I received from Seb, after hitting them up on FB: "This is Seb with Matchless Campfire. I went through the checkout process using a Sacramento address and it went through just fine. If you want to have them call me at 770-296-3516 I can walk them through the process if need...

    Matchless Campfire

    Facebook for the win! Seb just got back to me and they're looking into it as we speak.

    Matchless Campfire

    I pinged them on Facebook to see what's going on. I don't personally know Seb and his family - but it's weird that they're not getting back to anyone.

    Top items people carry

    MONEY! No one ever remembers to bring cold hard cash with them. $20 can pay for lodging or a pull out of a muddy spot in a farmer's field!!!!

    Goal zero solar generators?

    I've been using GZ products for a long time - professionally and recreationally: solid stuff. They only recommend you daisy chain apples to apples - as to not fuzzy up the internals (circuitry, modules, doodads, and control boards). I do this with two of their Yeti 400's. You connect the two...
