Thanks Hank! Joined. You and I must think a like. I started a closed group yesterday to assist in creating a circle of friends that are ready to camp, fish, hike, or get outdoors. Not trying to reach the world, or educate the inexperienced. It's not overland specific. I created it so that...

That's a good attitude. I live in an area where winter is brutal and long as well. Both in terms of temperatures, lack of sunlight, and the amount of snow. I used to have a hard time getting motivated, and it would drag on and on. 2 years ago I finally decided that I wouldn't stop getting...

Fluid Film. I keep the underside of my vehicle, and the inside of accessible panels drenched in the stuff. Any time I take things apart during wrenching, it gets treated with more when putting back together. It stops rust that was pre-existing. And keeps new stuff from starting. If I was...

Thanks for being willing to discuss it. Perhaps it will help someone in the same situation.

I'm hopeful that OB might lead to a few new contacts. But since you are a member, take a look at Syracuse, NY on the member map and bask in the black-hole that is Central New York when it comes to outdoor adventure. Which is ironic, because there is quite a bit of opportunity to do it here...

I have 2 young boys, and I am doing more with them. Been building up slowly to more adventurous camping. My biggest fear is getting sick or otherwise incapacitated and putting all of us at risk. Right now we are mostly "family" camping with the popup at a campground, so low risk. But as I...

Central New York... Just East of Syracuse. Camper, kayak angler, Jeeper, wrencher.

This post gave me a lot to think about. For those of you with very little time, money, or both, but are keeping a good attitude about it...I commend you, and your stories have helped me to better appreciate any opportunities I might have. For those of you that were candid enough to speak about...

I see. Now that really is an adventure!

Greetings! Nice Jeep. I don't understand the "TDF" reference, whatever it is...sounds exciting! lol.

You bet.

Not so much. My interest level in competitive fishing is very low. I admit that I've considered it though, because finding like-minded folks that enjoy kayak fishing has been challenging. Also, the tourneys would often add several hours of drive time, when I have quite a few good places close...

Hi old_man, Does that mean that you are away from your Jeep for 6 months? or did you drive up? I find myself in the Springs (CO) from time to time. Read your build thread for the trailer this morning. Wow! Most excellent.

I happened to be researching that exact area again on google earth, when you sent that message! What are the chances of that. I meant to scout it out in person last fall, but didn't get the chance.

That's what I'm talk'n bout!

Hi Hank, Jordan here. I'm in the Syracuse area. Been lurking a while here, saw your CNY post and figured I might as well register to say hi. Been in the state for some time, but I'm not a NY native, so the last few years I've been building my list of great places to take the kayak for...

Greetings from frigid Central New York. Rig: 1996 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) Grew up camping and fishing in Idaho/Montana and there-abouts. Love kayak fishing, and passing on what I was raised with to my two boys (6 and 7). Put the Jeep together for this purpose, and have just started introducing...

Greetings, I'm in the Syracuse area. Camping, kayak fishing, and teaching my kids the same.
