That's a fair point. the problem is, there's not a great place to send folks where they'll get good info without all the "you must have xyz" to really have fun. Hell I even find myself influencing that unintentionally... I like gadgets, and I like to make my wife comfortable (so she comes out...

Not with the Hest. But I've used mattresses for my old tepui tent that were a little too wide and more than a couple inches short, with no issues, but it probably varies by tent design

I strongly recommend if you go with a forced air heating system... bite the bullet and go propane. odds are you already carry propane, so one less fuel to worry about (n/a if you have a diesel rig). @PapaDave has a propane heater and the nice thing is it's reliable at all temps... (I've...

Having bought a diesel heater that has been finicky... I'm definitely going to propane... the other thing that some folks don't think about is the diesel heaters don't cycle on or off... just low to high. so while dave was able to maintain a nice 65... my tent (same ikamper) 30' away was 80...

Looks good, not really sure why your thumbnails in your post aren't working (but I was able to click on them in the attachment area) I'm lucky enough to call @PapaDave a friend and spent the last year and a half on trips with him. And I've really gotten a first hand glimpse of the benefits of...

Definitely liking this idea... I can barely walk into my garage without hitting my head (6'4 opening) let alone dream of getting my GX in there (it barely fit stock if I pushed up on the garage door while going in/out) Curious if you had measurements, I know mine will probably be different but...

That's too bad, but yeah July should be a good one, I'm excited as I didn't get to run that trip last year.

Question, how many folks have HAM? I ask because I want to create a quick cheat sheet for the frequency=GMRS Channels so we can quickly switch if we run into too much traffic on 16. as well as keeping a list of folk's call signs. I figured since I'm making one up for myself, I'd make a couple...

Simple (updated lol) how about, Invest in good gear (expensive doesn't always mean good), invest in knowledge (tread lightly, mapping/navigation, first aid\safety, recovery) and find a group of like minded folks (or go solo if that's your speed) and then GO! lol. you'll learn what you need vs...

Hest's mattress does really well in the cold, it's $$$ but was specifically designed to prevent the rock hard feeling in the cold... and if you don't want to deal with inflating/deflating... they make one specifically for RTT's...

Honestly I usually bring 2.5-5 gal. I only use it for the wife's coffee, dishes and drowning fires lol. I'm not a big water drinker, other than propel. I'll probably get another dometic 2.5tank and that'll do me for vast majority of trips

Awesome Job! I built a trailer last year but went with cargo and RTT, I should have gone Square drop... BUT, the one thing I did do right was make the whole thing bolt to the frame, so I could unbolt it and start over LOL (my wife would kill me)

Ugh I wish I could, but I have a wedding I'm being dragged to. At least it's not during football season (it's bad enough I have to decide between football and camping lol)

No idea how I did that https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/north-idaho-meet-up-eastern-wa-and-western-montana.45395/#post-641442

I've done section 8 only and Camping was plenty. I can send you a couple spots we camped at. but I do know that the last part into Wallace of section 7 is closed right now, they had a massive slide on the Moon Pass route... there are some routes around but I couldn't name them. but you should...

PM going out shortly, I'll try to add anyone who joins for the last two spots

Also, if you enter the park before like 6am(I think that's the time) you don't need one, or at least that's what I was told by the ranger last year (we arrived literally the first day of the vehicle reservations and had no idea, but couldn't burn another day to enter before 6)

Damn, love to hear/see more about the 79! (Dream rig)

When in July are you picking up Mammoth? We have a group trip the 19th-21st leaving CDA and going to polebridge (Friday night camp at blue lake, Saturday night camp will be on the flathead River). We'll post the rally point in the coming week. Our group ran it last year and it was definitely a...
