My biggest fear was a head-on or hard stop where the tent flew forward into traffic. I installed vertical plates at the leading and trail edges of the tent bag, with the rack rails shifted to just the right points to wedge the tent in place. I got the plates from T-Nutz. For the rails in the...

The sturdy Kinsman and Alu-cab awnings are only available as 270s. With a 4Runner's lifting rear hatch, I'm interested only in a 180. I keep waiting for a top quality 180, rather than Chinese alibaba stuff.

Sasquatch should allow 37s to fit, but what is the up-travel on a Sasquatch?

Good solution as long as it isn't galvanized steel.

We have the Southern Expeditions Fire pit. It is compact, rugged, and flat. It is not light or cheap. https://www.southernxpeditions.com/sxoverlandshop/firepit

""What is the best way to carry traction boards" I usually use my hands.

A Tesla operating in typical Wyoming winter temperatures, running a heater and blowing by vehicles on the highway has a sharply reduced operating range (down at least 35%). Then there is the delay of finding a recharging station and waiting for a recharge. There is a future for these cars, but...

Hybrids do well with city driving - they are able to recapture energy otherwise lost to the brakes. Everything else is a compromise to that end. I can't see it working well for overlanding.

Resistance factors can add up quick when Murphy's Law starts working against you. It's a combination of mire resistance (a vehicle mired well above the wheels can add 1.5 times its weight for that factor alone), gradient resistance (a 30 degree incline can add another half), and damage...

I was surprised that the log cabin made it that far.

You captured the pros. One con is you're limited to straight pulls. Angled pulls can twist the receiver.

There are a few schools of thought in cast iron. Lodge sells rough-finished skillets - while some people grind them to a mirror, others try to build up a thick layer of seasoning / gunk to build it up. More traditional skillets were polished smooth - Smithey sells them that way from day one -...

Maybe a folding stairway meant for attic access could fold into a package that could be strapped to the roof rack.

If the ladder is sturdy, you could train the dog to ride your shoulders into the tent. You could also look for tents that have an extra opening towards the front of the vehicle, and put a mat over the window and hood, so that the dog could scramble up into the tent. The concern there would be...

The cast iron pan should be smooth when bare. Old timers used whetstones. Then the seasoning builds a molecule-thick layer of polymer; these layers build very gradually over time. To build it up, use a thin coat of high temp oil, wipe it off in order to leave a minimal layer, then put it in...

Did you need to make any adjustments to the power steering line to mount the winch control box?

Thanks. I should be mounting a Warn 10S P in an LFD hybrid bumper sometime this month. Good video, BTW.

I would like to know more about the Sasquatch lift first. Does it simply flex the IFS down, reducing travel, or does it add an long travel suspension lift?

The right music is great when the video is driving the action - soaring drone footage, bubbling stewpots, etc. I dislike it when it is in the background while someone is talking.
