I never really thought about getting wood when out, what do you often make? Also Waterville is perfectly located right next to Okanogan Forest, I assume you spent a bunch of time there?

Very cool! We have only recently started to dip our toes into the world of gathering fossils. In my area we have a good amount of locations where you can find Miocene Epoch leafs, trilobites and brachiopods. Sometimes for big stuff ill work for hours and hours to get it out.

We didn't really chose to be into car camping / overlanding, really it has been out necessity. My wife and I spend all of our free time rockhounding which continues to push us into ever increasingly remote locations that are further and further away from anyone or anything. We also volunteer as...

I would assume that it's already very water resistant. Like wawa said for the Outback the issue with the ECU being on the floor in the cabin so if you flood it your SOL. If you want to make it bulletproof, assuming the bullets are made of water then put the ECU in a pelican case with...

Ill be there.

I like that idea!

I never got the invite but I RSVPed.

What do you think the cost of this project was?

Nice looking rig you have there. It sounds like you have all the basic camping stuff covered already and your truck is already very off road capable. What do you feel is lacking? Recovery? Storage? Navigation?

What if you just show up and run it anyways? I mean its not like someone is going to walk around with a tape measure and check tires before hand, and I can't imagine a situation where someone says "HEY those tires are not big enough you can't come with us!" and if they did that may not be the...

Speak for yourself. This person is super prepared for anything! I think this is the rig that won last Camel Trophy.

Great now I need to get another Jetta cause that's amazing. Unfortunately mine didn't look like that.

This is a long long thread but I would just like to chime in and say that before getting my Outback I did some epic trips with my Jetta that a lot of people would be jealous of and it did great, granted sometimes I would just need to send it and hope I didn't rip the bumpers off but it was...

What prompted the switch?

Welcome!

That is a good point about adding struts.

So one issue I see with all the hatch back Subaru's is where does the spare tire go. The donut it comes with is pretty useless and by ditching it you now have a really good interior space, so what are the options? Spare on the roof, custom bumper with tire carrier, hitched mounted swing out tire...

Ill be honest my head is spinning a little bit as I try to think of what is going to be the best option for me. CB, GMRS, or HAM. Is there a radio that does all of them? Is it better to go handheld or a base unit mounted?

I see a lot of people with shovels on or in rigs in the winter but for snow they kinda suck compared to a proper snow shovel. I like the scoop style which can move snow so much faster then a normal shovel. https://amzn.to/2MJULmw

I ended up just going down through the hatch and taillight and the forward towards the drivers seat and through the firewall.
