    Yukon and Alaska

    It’s really easy to do and some trips I don’t mind especially if it’s the summer and you’re in the desert.

    Yukon and Alaska

    Well my goal will be to see both on this trip. Basically go up to deadhorse then down to north the southern coats of Alaska. Anyways that has been my rough idea but it doesn’t leave a lot of time in Yukon. Granted I could do a lot of driving and see everything in 6 weeks but my family won’t...

    Yukon and Alaska

    Hahah it really could be worse. I mean I don’t personally know anyone that has been to the Arctic and I’m very glad I can make the trip. Granted it will be the first long distance overland trip I’ve taken.

    Yeah last weekend I had coyotes come out the the truck while I’m The thent. If I had seen then before I went into it with my nods I probably would have shot some but oh well. After that I’m not super worried about coyotes anymore though but I do camp with my BCM suppresses 11.5 AR and it goes up...

    Essential Solo Overland Recovery Gear

    I would stick to the things that let You recover Your vehicle. So reaction boards, shovel and axe and winch and all the equipment that lets you get yourself out of a whatever you may find yourself in including having some type of ground anchor. In my opinion recovery straps can probably wait...

    What is Overlanding?

    Touring is honestly a great term I think. That’s what the Australians call overlanding. It’s funny you mention not seeing any more people in remote areas cause last weekend I was in the Oregon desert and barely saw anyone until we got to a camp site near a more populated mountain range that was...

    What is Overlanding?

    So I’m definitely new to all this but here is my tale listening to overland journal and other world travelers. Overland travel is travel. You domt say cause you are within 500 miles of home you are not traveling and the same for overlanding. But I also agree flying down the freeway isn’t...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    Honestly man a shortbed Ram. With a family they are super roomy and I can load them down and still get great range over 500 miles and even all loaded out not be near my gross weight rating making it so it’ll hold up. I may want something different if I was traveling the world a lot but I’m not...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    A chance at what? Rock crawling? No it definitely doesn’t but overlanding? All day man. Overland is traveling overland usually off-road but if your goal is travel then you probably are not putting rigs in a position to get super damaged and I’ve seen some dudes do very impressive stuff with full...

    Tire Question

    Granted I have a Ram not a Tacoma but I went from 33s to 37s with no loss in performance. The only thing I need to do is get my speedometer corrected cause that being off effects where it shifts. I can still get 20mpg good acceleration and braking and the bigger tire definitely helped my wife’s...
