Gaia's added the NatGeo Trails Illustrated maps on top of the usual smattering of USGS topo, USFS maps, land use maps, and dozens others. That makes it a pretty easy choice for me. It takes a subscription these days, but it's amazing for pretty much any kind of navigation I've thrown at it so...
The most recent update I could find that specifically mentions Old Coast Road is from early November. http://www.bigsurcalifornia.org/highway_conditions.html
Have they opened the Old Coast Road up again? Last I heard, it was closed off after the mudslides. I hope it is! It's a short, gorgeous drive that I'd always take on my way from the Bay to some of my favorite campsites in Los Padres before the fires.
You might want to wait a day or two before pickup up a drone. DJI has been teasing a new drone model for a while now and has scheduled a big release broadcast for tomorrow afternoon. From what I've read, it'll sit somewhere between the Mavic Pro and the Spark in terms of size, portability, and...
It really depends on what we're up to. When we were in our roof top tent, we'd use proper sheets and a Rumpl blanket. It didn't work quite as well when it was cold (anything below freezing was miserable), so we'd pack in a giant Teton Mammoth sleeping bag. Even in a stuff sack, it takes up...
I've got a DJI Mavic Pro. For me, it's a great balance of portability, easy flight, and great image/video quality. The whole thing packs down into a bag about the size of a brown paper lunch sack, including the controller, three batteries, spare propellers, and a set of ND filters. The camera...
I've got a pair of awning mounts for a Gobi JK Stealth rack. I had them installed for about a year with an ARB 2500 awning, so they're obviously used but in good shape overall. They'll work for most awnings with the exception of maybe a few 270° models. I paid $120 for them, they're yours for...
I'm still sitting on this trailer. I'd love to get it in the hands of someone who'd put it to use instead of having it just sitting around looking lonely and forlorn.
I've got an M101 A2 trailer that I'm looking to part ways with. I used it to move down from Oregon and was planning on building it out into a mobile workshop, but life has a funny way of changing direction. So now I'm just looking to get out of it what I paid earlier this year.
It's in great...
Here's a handful from our travels over the last year or so.
Mono Lake, California
California countryside, a little north of Santa Cruz
Dramatic skies over a Northern Nevada highway
Crystal Mill in the fall, Colorado
The regular room has the same awning track system for the vehicle side attachment as it does for the extended side. The only difference is the extended side zips on and off for easy setup. You'll just need to slot the outside section into the track first, then zip the vehicle side on. It'll...
Hello from the East Bay! I'm Caelan, my wife is Sophia, and our dog's named Monster. We've settled in the Bay Area for a few years to finish up the build on our 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, Arrakis.
After spending about six months criss-crossing the country, living out of the Jeep...
Check out ARB's new(ish) Deluxe Awning Room. I couldn't find it on arbusa.com but a quick Google search turned up a few stateside retailers. It's a pretty neat redesign that allows for doors all three non-vehicle-facing sides.
The old style awning could work backwards, but I feel like it...
