My family use to do all of this as well - camping, backpacking, overlanding, scouts, and so on. When my dad started his business it all started to slowly fall to the wayside. By the time I was in 8th grade it had completely stopped for the most part. Once my father sold his business, and my...

EXACTLY - you get it!!!

It's taken years, as well as a ton of blood, sweat and tears to get it to the point you see in the pic. Right now Grover's going through his sea trials and final mechanical fitting out. The plan is to kit it out in vintage camping/overlanding gear; I'm not a big believer in all the modern...

I can pin point exactly where it all started for me - getting out in the wild in a rig AND my love for vintage Series Land Rover - watching 'Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom' as a kid.

I'll be grilling some sirloins later, topped with a butter garlic escargot sauce, along asparagus and side salad.

This is a tough one... I have a knack finding weird, cool, interesting and bizarre items. It has kinda sorta become a hobby and sideline gig. The biggest item I found was an abandoned cemetery from the mid 1800s. Was just out doing a quick, visual survey for a possible archeological sight out...

Do an internet search for "Land Rover Last Overland". They recreated, in reverse, the original trip conducted in the '50s. I don't think any ocean time was involved. No spinal complaints. Some paved roads and non-paved. Speeds varied for the most part, but I belive the average was 55mph...

Just one at the moment. I am considering either a late '50s SI or late '50s early '60s SII though.

My rig is a '63 SIIa 88 SW Trop Top - perfect for overlanding.

A 1950s SI Land Rover just finished up a cross-country jaunt from Singapore to London.

We are considering one, probably no bigger than a size 2 though. I've read about 'layering' the food, but how does it do with stew? I know, dumb question, just curious.

If you're looking at those premade ones that can cost as much as a house - yes - way to friggin' expensive. The trailer I bought cost me $50. Taking into account all of the modifications that are planned, including a RTT, total cost might be $2,500. It's going to be built so it can be used as...

Here's an extra tip for the Greek yogurt. In some areas it can be pricey compared to the typical kind. Any yogurt can be made into Greek, all you have to do is place it in a yogurt strainer over night. Those things sell for a couple of bucks. For traveling though, the small, sealed...

Ditto here as well.

Try it with Greek yogurt... you won't believe how fluffy they get! Use self rising flour and they'll almost fly away on their own!! If you do use self rising flour, you’ll want to skip the baking soda and salt since they are already in it.

Thanks! One of my side hobbies is collecting antique/vintage wooden military trunks, cases, boxes. Same in regard to those used for expeditions and safaris, which are basically the same thing. I collect antique/vintage campaign furniture and gear as well.

Bingo! That's what I'm thinking as well. Bingo! That's what I'm looking at doing, unless I can find an original from between the 1880s and 1940s.

I like "hoity toity"!! Those pictured below actually have canvas and leather cases that cover them during travel. The greenish one with the little tray - the tray slides over the glassware and locks them in place during travel.

MD 20/20 - thanks to the military, my unit was the "Mad Dogs".
