Total Patriot (in a 1776 kind of way). Full on Prepper (less the bunker). Freedom lover (in every way).

As long as it doesn't turn into a scavenger hunt. It's about accomplishments, right?

How close are we, to making your "full time" dream come true? Where does the focus need to be? More Members? More Supporters? More OB Products for Sale? More YouTube Views? More Paid Events? Corporate Sponsors? How can we help?

In general, when it comes to "getting places others can't" (without assistance), how would you prioritize these elements? (Listed here in no particular order) Ground Clearance Tire Height Tire Width Tire Tread Articulation Lockers Horse Power Torque Driving Skills Other _________

December it is!
