Our daughter was born when Merri and I were both very young. She's now in her early thirties and has a baby of her own now. This past summer we made the journey to her home in Durango Colorado and took her and ten month old grandson Jack on an overland adventure throughout southwest Colorado...

Thanks so much for the kind words! We looked into acrylic, abs, and pvc for the base, but the cost was very high. A good quality plywood is more than adequate, and lighter. The H#R extinguishers are well worth the cost, and the front camera we installed is worth its weight in gold! Keep...

We also like a more upright sitting position. We've been using these for awhile now and really like them:

We'll probably pass by you near the north end Saturday morning then. Then hopefully we'll find a quiet spot along the shore to camp. We have a product review video to shoot while we're out too. We us GMRS and CB. Usually channel 16 on both. On the highway the CB goes to 19 for traffic and delay...

We're likely going to be doing the trail the same time. Maybe we'll see you along the way! What's your itinerary look like? We were thinking about starting at the south end on Friday and working our way north. Camping around the Bob's Lake area Friday night.

For us, one of the very best aspects of vehicle based exploring is the ability to haul the necessary equipment and fresh food to cook "real" meals while we're camping. We'd like to share with you our recipe for fish tacos. Crispy fish tacos with cabbage slaw, cucumber sauce, and pickled...

Welcome! We're just to the south of you near Rockford. We visit the Badlands and Black Hills at least once a year. You'll love it! If you have any specific questions before you head out please ask. Here's one of the highlights of the National Park, and the only place where you can legally "offroad".

We've been meaning to do it for over a year, we finally got around to putting it in a video. This is our gear packing list we use each time we head out, either for weeks or just a weekend. As with any activity, everyone's needs and wants will differ slightly. We're curious what you would add...

Finally! Something to look forward to in 2020!

LOL, definitely not suitable for use on a bumpy trail! First time we used it we made a huge batch of baked beans, then bounced around for a few hours. Luckily we had the forethought to put the pan underneath. There was more bean juice in the pan then the pot! Since then we learned it should only...

ATTENTION EVERYONE CONSIDERING TRAVELING THIS TRAIL!!! This trail peaked our interest, Michigan's UP is a tremendous resource for getting out and "overlanding". However, before traveling a route that any individual creates and makes public we first do the necessary research to find out if the...

Thanks for watching our stuff Brett! We've been members for a few years now, unfortunately haven't been to any OB events and only a few meet-ups. Hopefully that will change very soon.

We've been meaning to put together a complete gear packing list video for a few years, finally got around to it. We thought you may enjoy watching it. Our background, for thirty + years, before we got into vehicle based camping, was wilderness canoe tripping. Weight and bulk of all our gear was...

For many years I've been using a DreamStation CPAP for at home and while camping. It's 12v, with a converter cord for at home, and a direct 12v plug-in cord for camping. We run a DC-DC dual battery system in our vehicle with a 100 AH battery and a solar supplement. It easily powers our 75qt...

We could sure use your help and inspiration in designing a charging station in the back of our 4R. Pics of what you've come up with would be most helpful. It astounds me how much we have to supply juice to. So far we have; 1 flashlight, 2 drone batteries, 1 drone controller, 1 cell phone, and 1...

We started a build thread here a little over two years ago but for whatever reason, we haven't kept up with it. We produced this video as a means to catch up. We show you everything we've done to it, along with a glimpse into its future. This thing has come a loooong way from a bone stock TRD...

Although we haven't had it very long, it seems to be working great! It's made nice and durable.

We haven't taken it yet. I guess we'll have to keep going out to remote, spectacular places until we do. :grinning:

Our GMRS radio install and test video is uploaded, if any of you are interested. We went with the popular Midland MXT275 with 6db antenna. We tested it against our Cobra 75WXST cb with 4' Firestik antenna. The GMRS blew its doors off! But we assumed that would happen. We also tested the range...
