You’re welcome.

Tools needed are a skill saw, drill with screwdriver bits and a drill bit for pilot holes for screws, and tape measure. A jig saw is handy, but not required. I built a boat deck with just a skill saw, tape measure, and electric drill. Just as an example of what can be done with minimal tools.

Welcome to Overland Bound. @OTH Overland is your local contact.

Hey Peter, where at in the great PNW are you from. It would help us know so we can put you in touch with local members.

I used to always use a tarp over my tent, but never have needed to with my T4+.

This is always a good event. If plans align I might attend.

No not true Optima Red Top and Yellow Top are both AGM batteries and do not require a DC-DC charger. AGM charges at 13.8-14.5 volts just like normal lead acid batteries. Your alternator built after 1985 charges at 13.5-14.5 volts to handle the amperage demands of modern EFI, and other...

You’re confusing AGM with LifePo batteries. AGM (Absorbant Glass Mat) Batteries are lead acid batteries that are filled with a glass matt to absorb the acid. AGM have always been a direct replacement for flooded lead acid battery applications. LifePo4 batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate...

Wolf River Coils makes a good 75/80m antenna as well as the Tarheel Screwdriver Antenna. Yes you need to go out and camp.

In coming DM.

Add a 110Um coil and 2 meters of extra wire at the end to tune a 40m EFHW to 80m. (Shortened 80m EFHW). This works the same as the EFHW on 40 with the ability to work all of the 80m/75m band and part of the 160m band without a tuner. my 80m setup for mobile is just a 121’ piece of wire...

For HF @whiskey7backroads and some guys meet on 75m (3.946?) between 5:30-7:30 am PST every day. Brent can you confirm times and frequency. I’m currently out having the adventure of a lifetime. Not sure where this summer is going to lead @HappyGiraffe84 and I. We are one week into a multi...

@Jim SoG can this be moved to the Electrical Help threads for more views?

I would disagree to an extent. If you knew the political climate of Oregon you would understand why certain counties set up their own policies. That is as deep as I’m diving into the political structure here. Feel free to DM me if you would like to continue the discussion.

Camping with @HappyGiraffe84 at Birdtrack Springs, Oregon. One week down, one week to go. It’s a nice breath of fresh air for my first venture of the season.

Putting this on my calendar. If things pan out we might see you all down there.

Even though Oregon is changing policies at the pump, Counties are exempting the ruling, just as in 2017. Union County (my county) for instance this law will not effect since we will be making a policy to be exempt from the state law.

@Michael Similar note: Friday June 23, 2023 I was traveling apx 15 miles from my home exploring new to me roads in the Spring Creek area and I couldn’t get offline maps of the area to load, nor get a GPS lock on my location with OB1. I was able to get a GPS lock with GAIA, however I didn’t have...

I saw this just after I posted… I’m going to copy and paste to there as well.
