I think we both are pretty much in agreement with my reference to REI. I was simply suggesting that REI has at least acknowledged this and is making great efforts with their marketing to make the outdoors more appealing, and inclusive, to everyone, and I'm sure it's definitely helping at least...
Has she ever tried camping at all? I think most of it comes down to how comfortable you make the experience. Roof top tents tend to help, as I know it makes many feel safer off the ground. Toss in a Mr. Buddy Heater in the winter and a small fan in the summer, and you're good to go! With...
REI took this approach on a couple of years ago. Look at their ads now. They've done a great job with promoting the outdoors to everyone. But, at the end of the day, everyone has the same equal right to choose what they like to do with their time.
If I want to go outside and camp, that's...
Fortunately I’m in an industry that has thrived through COVID, but it’s kept me from hanging out on OB!
Did a full Goose Gear plate system. I absolutely love not having anything to setup now! Even added some sliding rear windows in the hardtop for ventilation and did one of Vector Offroads new...
I've been swamped at work the last couple of months and have had little opportunity to get on here, so I'm catching up on a lot of older stuff!
Your post caught my attention as you mentioned "non paved" roads. A site that I use a lot is gravelmap.com. It was originally created by cyclists to...
A meetup at The Farm brewery in Broad Run would be awesome. HUGE piece of property, with outdoor bars, pavillions, plenty of room for pets, games, etc. @JRElaxED , or a Woodstock Brewery meetup with a day route and camping for an evening would be fun as well.
Yea, what a bummer, but completely understandable from a business owner's perspective. Not an easy decision, but probably the right one. Oh well, time for a road trip now anyway!
I've never owned a gun in my life, until this year. Going out camping alone most of the time I just felt like it was time to feel a bit more comfortable when I'm out there. Not that I was ever really concerned much before, but I felt it couldn't hurt to be better prepared. I purchased a Glock...
I try to gather wood as often as I can at my camp site, and try and refrain from bringing wood in(illegal in many areas). I actually find it extremely therapeutic gathering, and processing wood for my camp fire. If I do bring some with me I put it in my Smittybilt rear basket that sits over my...
I agree with you. This is definitely an example of "you get what you pay for". I've had mine in place ofor a couple of years now and it's still solid and rattle free. I use it more than anything else. I've never changed a diaper on it though:tearsofjoy:
@Antonio198622 , you may already be aware of this but the Batwing/Foxwing awnings have slots on the rear that are spaced wider apart than all other traditional straight out awnings like ARB, Smittybilt, etc. I only mention this so that the bracket you purchase fits the channel/slot spacing on...
Hi @Jostr. I actually drove up to that area two weekends ago and did a night of dispersed camping in the Forest. PMR was actually still closed from the winter, but I imagine it's closed due to the shutdown at this point. Normally it re-opens in late March or so, but the gates were closed and...
