Other than OB events what other events do you attend?

I, for one, would be interested in what you think about it after using it. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps on the official face but what is happening is a different story. Report after report from diverse origins assert that the government routinely observes and fosters caste conflict. The idea that the caste system in India is gone is not in line with the reported facts...

I doubt that the Dalits or members of other castes would agree with you. I don't agree that India, or any other country for that matter, has a solid human rights record.

It is doubtful that any decision made on what to buy is as simplistic as the name of the country on the label. Folks make personal purchase judgments based on as many factors as companies do. The blurring of country of origin is intentional and is as much the responsibility of our government as...

An interesting statement ! Company and greedy in the same sentence. I wonder if economics has anything to do with the way they price their goods ?

I camp 6 months a year, in a sleeping bag 180 nites every year. When I first started doing this I moved often. Now I find I get into an area and stay, making day trips from a base camp. Doing that out of an rtt would be ridiculous. I understand the cool factor, I just don't feel the need.

OP, those guys own tire shops!

I'm always surprised at the judgments folks make about others choices for going off road. I applaud you for getting out and offering your help to others. I currently travel in a Dodge diesel pu with an over cab camper towing a jeep. I am considering a TT for the freedom it gives for exploring...

Shovel, Hi lift, strap and cooler. Benchmark for your state. Local 4x4 club.

Born in Colorado, finished school in Arizona, did 5 tours in the jungles of Panama. Started camping while in diapers. Always slept on the ground, never had a bug or scorpion attack. I was bitten by a rattler but not while asleep. I guess if you have bug or animal phobias a rtt may help.

Sure, https://www.desertusa.com/desert-trails/diablo.html Start from both ends and meet and camp. Simple

This sort of thing is not new in Cali. That they will shut down state land to any form of recreation is not surprising. That there are not more posts to this thread is most likely that the ones left in that state have figured out that Federal land is the place to be, although that is threatened too.

Regardless, when you talk about an event of any sort someone is going to say how the environment will be harmed. The idea that 5 or 6 thousand folks from the overlanding community would show up at an event is not realistic. I would dare say that it's never happened. That people will show up at...

Rtt make no sense to me. Expensive, inconvenient, an answer without a question. Trendy, yep. Practical nope.

I think the best thing to do in your position is to hit the trails, camp, enjoy the outdoors the way you want. Each trip will educate you as to what you will want or need. Try not to get caught up in what forum folks tell you you can't live without.

Blm camping around Moab is epic and the BLM folks there are very understanding. To say that there are places to overland nearby is an understatement.

"Getting permission from the government to hold something like this on public land is almost impossible." Not true, events like this are held every year on public land. Large scale events are held every year on BLM land near Quartzite Az. Blm is actually very cooperative when it comes to...

In the high desert east of the sierra mtns. We were in a 2wd Ford van chasing up and down every road we could find. Went down a narrow 2 track steep and gravely. Got to the bottom where a river was flowing by. Messed around awhile and turned rig back up the hill. The hill was so steep and loose...
