Damn son, I will take a bottle of Papi Van Winkle while you set up that trailer.jk I have read many takes on a trailer. One is that if you solo its great as long as you have the recovery gear. Two, if in a group be ready to either be left behind unless you are with trailer guys.

Center of gravity is obviously a huge concern (especially with large tents like the one I intend to get) but the number of trails this side of the Mississippi that require lots of off camber action is limited. Edit: This is all from what I have seen. We don't have the same boulders as out west...

You know what they say a big man must have a big... tent. jk but really, I am 6'7" so I am only looking at large RTT's. While I would love a top brand like Alu-Cab, Tepui, or CVT, I am leaning towards the Smittybuilt XL Overland. At under $900 it has the size I want and with the 4x4 warranty if...

I had to have titanium silverware and pots and pans. Granted this was back in my backpacking days but I saved a few ounces on that but I wouldn't blink twice at the 15lbs of camera equipment I would drag up the mountain.

With a baby on the way the only thing I plan on getting in the next few months is a RTT so we can camp easier and I have the Frontrunner brackets ready to go for that.

I have nothing to install, I just want to help out. I have simple tools; floor jack, stands, wrenches, etc. and I am a certified youtube mechanic. I have installed coilovers, exhaust, and lots of interior bits but its mostly from my sports car days.

It depends on how much everyone is itching to install stuff. I am off for Christmas Break the week after next or we can do it after the holidays. I want to put this warning out there, I am no mechanic, so don't plan on me taking the lead on any installs.

I like the idea of the solo stove bonfire but the size turns me away. I wish it would split into 1/2's or 1/4's so that you could slip the pieces apart/together for storage. I don't see a reason why this would not be feasible. I currently don't have the tooling to make one but I have made small...

My phone or tablet. I have hundreds of books on there and a good book in the woods by a fire is one of the great joys in life.

First, you must be cooler than I am because no one is jumping at the chance to see my shots lol. However, I do use a DSLR, Sony a6000, which can send photos to any device over a local Wifi network. This lets me wirelessly send them to a tablet, phone, and laptop. I then edit them with Snapseed...

Does anyone have any plans for changes to their trucks? I know some areas do install days where people get together to help each other wrench. Steel bumpers are heavy and an extra hand on a suspension install is always appreciated. With a baby on the way my upcoming mod list took a beating but I...

Here is Nashville, I follow the rule that if it is closed dont go and if it is open be ready to be very respectful to the guy with the rifle who will come asking why you are there.

If you get onto Google Earth and just click around you may find something in your area. I have found a couple little areas near me but nothing worth getting people together for.

I have heard that some of the WMA areas have trails but I have not gone out to any myself. I put together a thread with more trails in Middle TN but none are as close as the DD, at least to Nashville.

Try this link. I uploaded a few of the auto edited and a couple I did there are also some Auto-Gifs of the crossing the google photos put together. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ky1rsbgQVWvLm5ch1

I didnt realize that they wouldn't load for people. Let me try and reupload!

I had heard that one of the mapping apps was going subscription and that they were going to stop updating the one time purchase folks but I am not sure if that was the same one. I may have to try it out. I have some Google money fro surveys that will expire soon.

Is that app a one time purchase or does it have a subscription?

That is a very confusing map that you posted. A few of the areas that I have tried to check out in the Nashville area that say that you need a special use permit seem to just be closed off. I have driven past a few that have permanent barricades in place. No piece of paper will get you bast a...

We missed that crossing! But I am sure we missed others as well. Over the course of our run we did most of the yellow highlighted part that is on the map that you can buy.
