    Best Gas Can for Overlanding

    I use two USMC Metal Jerry Cans. One is 5gal, other is 2.5gal. The 5gal has a date stamp on bottom that is the same month/year I was born....1978! Still holds gas, doesn't have a CARB spout and fits perfectly onto my ORFAB Tire Carrier. The 2.5gal doesn't fit on my tire carrier, but fits well on...

    Editing Member Map Trails? How?

    I want to add data on all the trails I have been on in Central CA, Eastern CA/Death Valley and Northern CA. I started adding some content, such as Bald Mountain (in my back yard), but I can't go back and edit the content. Is there a way to do so after I have published it? Thanks Admins or @Michael

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    88K oil change, new windshield wiper blades for winter and new Rancho shocks all around in addition to steering stabilizer. I didn't realize how bad my Rubi Red Shocks had gotten. Rides really nice now.

    RTT Back to Ground Tent

    Good points of view and discussions on RTT and ground tents. Lots of insights from both sides. I'm a backpacker/mountaineer, so using the ground tent and a foam pad is 2nd nature to me. I've always wondered what life was like in an RTT, and the ability to move then vehicle without breaking camp...

    Stanislaus NF Overland Trip July 2017

    I camped at Fence Creek CG ($8/night) and was impressed with it's remoteness and access to offroad trails and the Middle Stanislaus. We also camped at Niagara Falls CG (VERY Dusty!) and the Fraser Flat CG (Had a nice creek running by it, but was very busy and not remote enough for my taste.)...

    Food on the trail

    My kids and I love Grocery Store Fried Chicken meals! We get the 8 or 12 piece (dark preferred) and eat it cold on the trail along with the potato salad, and other snacks! Has never been a bad meal, easy, no heating and filling! And darn if it doesn't taste better in the mountains with dirty hands!

    Towing a trailer in CA sucks

    Back to original point.... Stay safe out there when towing. Plan ahead to drive for a longer timeframe and keep a safe distance from those in front of you. Also, have some compassion for those of us who ARE towing and let us over when we signal and don't ride our asses!
