    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    Nice looking truck. I have the same truck just a couple years older. When it comes to suspension the Ram beans does have as large of an after market follow as Ford and GM. Not to mention the rear coil springs makes things a little different. After looking at options for a while now I figured...

    Tree hangers?

    When the hammock is setup right and you know how to lay in it none of those things are an issue. A hammock was originally designed as a sleeping platform, we just forget that over the years. When you get your system right the hammock comforts to you with pressure points. Sent from my XT1585...

    Ham Radio - HF/VHF/UHF

    I can't tell you anything about the antenna but I can tell you the 857D is an outstanding radio. However I would recommend a good deal bander as well. If you ever wish to run APRS/digital modes or need crossband repeat the 857 will either be lacking our unable to meet those needs. Sent from...

    What is overlanding to you?

    Overlanding is a rather broad term. It is generally accepted as referring to act of exploring the world via automobile. But this just me speaking in generalities. In practice the term is used loosely to describe a wide ranging set of activities. In my mind Overlanding is not about what you...

    Water filtration

    I love Katadyn, they make really good stuff. But last filtration system I bought was one from Survivor. Just as good as Katadyn for less money. https://www.survivorfilter.com/collections/personal-water-filters/products/pro-series

    I'm game. But you are picking a tough time to work up an event like this. With the holidays and people travel meets get to be difficult to schedule and plan.

    Tough truck decisions, help?

    For a all terrain/all weather vehicle any of the mentioned will work well. The question is more about what you can find available and afford. Also remember to check the cost on the back end. What does it cost to maintain the vehicle, what will the tires cost, and MPG. With all that being...

    Things to note when looking for new tires.

    Lots of good choices for many of us our past experiences lead us to certain brands and designs. You will find no shortage of BF Goodrich and Cooper fans in the Overlanding and off road circles. As for me I have had one set of Coopers and I swore never again. My BF Goodrich tires were solid...

    Hammocks

    What can I say I am a full time hammocker. I'm took a while but I can to the realization that the best night's sleep I get is hanging between two trees. So my ground tent has been retired for the most part. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Camp Stove

    I keep several stoves around. My car camping stove is a Coleman dual burner propane unit. My backpacking stove is a MSR whisperlite international. Both are fantastic for their intended purpose. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Air Lockers

    I think the function of a locker has been covered well to this point. I will add my two cents. My 4wd system is a Ram 5 position system. Meaning the system has neural, 2 wd, 4 wheel auto, 4 lock, and 4 low. The 4 lock and low both utilize an electronic center locker. Where 4 wheel auto...
