    Back Country Navigator Review

    I like this app, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. The mapping and the offline NEVER seems to work for me. It is more the user interface seems confusing-too many buttons, only icons not names and just feels conviluded. Perhaps I need to sit down and watch some Youtube videos on it...

    Rodents in your Rig ?

    I have used the Irish Spring Soap in my tent trailer and it "appears" to be working. My OL vehicle is my daily driver so if a rat/mouse or rodent wants to ride along, they will have to pay the fare!

    Axes

    I've used the True American Double Head Axe for a couple seasons now and been happy. It has one side that is sharper for fine work and a side that is less sharp, but great for ground working; whereas if you strike a stump, log or branch on the ground with this side, you aren't going to ruin your...

    What do you do when trapped in snow

    Carry the normal recovery gear and if you are going to the snow, ALWAYS plan to get stuck; so pack extra clothes, blankets, food and water. It really depends on the situation: are you stuck deep, are you on a slanted section of the road (make sure to anchor from sliding!) or are you hung in a...

    Campground or Boondock?

    Boondock all day (and night) long. I have so many stories of staying in "Designated" campgrounds and being the victim of parties, yelling, shouting, trash and noise. I am done with that! No offense to any SoCal group here, as it is obvious the OB group is the responsible type, but many of the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    HAHA! I have been staring at those rocks for years! If I'm going to drive over them, I'll have to remove some sprinkler heads. I'm afraid if I hit one, it may flip the jeep over! BWAHAHAHHAAAAAA

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Finally installed my Teraflex Bump Stop Extenders up front. I didn't install any when I did my lift a few years back and Ehrrmergerd when I would come off rocks or ledges, the pucker factor of the front end smashing/bottoming out was very unnerving. I did it with the help of my 7yo son and then...

    2012 Jeep JKUS named "Rocko"

    I should have bought a Jeep a LOOOOONNGGG time ago... My Jeeps name is "Rocko," as he spent much of his early years with my family and me on Rock Creek Road (same Road to South Bald Mt. entrance). I have done all the work to him myself and learned a lot, donated some blood, sweat and tears to...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I have always wanted a Hill People Gear chest rig, but had to settle for a Condor Admin Pouch on a condor chest harness. It has been a great setup. I had a local guy make me a kydex trigger guard for my 1911's that goes into the pouch too. The guard is tethered to my chest rig on a piece of 550...

    Cerro Gordo- California Ghost Town

    I would really like to go on the OB planned trip to this area next month, but not sure I can steal away time. I may have to plan a trip her in the spring to check it out. Looks like such a fun adventure! Anyone have a map of what roads they take to get to Cerro Gordo or around the area...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Seems apparent in this day and age that carrying to protect yourself is imperative. When camping, outdoors, in the wilderness and in the elements, do you carry? I know in California, each county is differed in the members ability to carry/conceal, however, in CA, if sleeping in your vehicle or...

    Cerro Gordo- California Ghost Town
