    New to overland need advice

    Also, find a Nissan forum for Nissan specific advise. That’s not to say you will get bad advise on a Nissan here but you will do better in a brand specific group for brand specific advise with people that are eating and breathing Nissan. Loads of great general overland info here on gear, ideas...

    New to overland need advice

    My personal opinion is that many people that get into “overlanding” throw a ton of money at a vehicle to drive what are basically dirt roads and camp in campgrounds. Things you could do in a stock vehicle leaving loads of money for fuel to travel with. My advise would be use the gear you already...

    Dealing with wasps while cooking.

    Just a heads up. I am convinced that yellow jackets are now on the internet and reading English. I got into bed 10 minutes ago and felt something bite the hell out of my arm. Well, with my lightning fast, almost ninja like reflexes, I sprang to action and killed my would be assassin. What was it...

    Dealing with wasps while cooking.

    You guys don’t know how these CA wasps identify. Some of them are bees born into the wrong body and are perfectly harmless. Some are undocumented wasps. Some are economically disenfranchised wasps. Some have been push into your campsite being victims of the housing crunch and gentrification. We...

    Anyone Have an Overland Vehicle Systems RTT?

    The lack of reviews gives me hesitation. Have you looked at used RTTs in your area? Always tons where I am. Many hardly used at all, in great shape and within asking price of the referenced tent.

    Tire Advice

    Gonna have to pay for it some day. Just a matter of when. If budget is an issue my second plan is the way to go. You can shave a bit more by only running one spare. In the US most people simply do not need two. My opinion anyway for whatever that’s worth.

    $250 - $300? A bit more maybe? Based on a quick search in my local area. 40k left is a pretty dang good tire.

    Tire Advice

    Can’t say what you should do but I can tell you what I’d do: 1. Put the current tires up for sale to offset cost while they are still sellable 2. Buy 6 KO2 3. Buy one more matching wheel (if you are going to run two spares) 4. Start a six tire rotation cycle I am not a fan of keeping spares...

    Dealing with wasps while cooking.

    This works in my experience. Be careful when you finally decide it is time to dispose of this contraption. Duct tape over the hole is you friend. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/g20706063/homemade-yellow-jacket-trap/

    What makes a great overland companion?

    For me this is number one. I have met many people though OB, Expo, etc. and find that what I want out of a trip is different then what many people want. As such, I do not travel with many folks and end up doing a bunch of solo trips. If we have different desires and goals it is not likely that...
