    Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else. We will not further define "overlanding".

    Agreed. It's the "elitist snob" aspect that really annoys me, not the show-n-tell aspect. Like I said, it's hard to explain. We all know the type though. As to owning nice things, nothing wrong with that either - it's when someone lords it over another person. You've seen it, I've seen...

    Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else. We will not further define "overlanding".

    I think all of you have spoken words of wisdom so far. I'm tired of the whole 'overlanding' thing as well - it's way over used. In reality, what the vast majority of the people on here do is nothing more than glorified camping on steroids! Some fall more inline with glamping even. I...

    I get good results baking it on a rack over a pan.

    Why do people say “out west?”

    "Those...", "THOSE..."!!!! I'm offended!!! I identity as a gender neutral rock - you've just dumped me in with everything in that general direction!!! I am so upset and offended - I'm going to write to my congressperson! I'm going to protest online! I'm going to take it to the streets...

    Walmart camping

    Nope. There is a Walmart in an area of Wichita that the average income is around $1M, and that's not including the three Koch family estates within walking distance of it.

    Walmart camping

    Yeah... around here the 'riff raff' must have money; the campers they have cost more than a lot of the homes.

    Let's Talk Cast Iron

    I will often use vegetable oil, or bacon grease (like Shokgoblr) to season a pan from the beginning. I do have a pan that is my all time favorite though - but I just can't seem to get it to season properly no matter what oil/grease used!! It'll work fine for the first, and maybe second use...

    Let's Talk Cast Iron

    Same here, and I do exactly what ol' Martha does as well. However, when wiping it down I make sure there is just enough on it to make the pan look 'wet', but not enough to feel 'wet' - if that makes sense.

    Why do people say “out west?”

    It's not a regional thing, I've heard it used all over the country. It's no more 'old fashioned' as the word 'alas' either; It's just part of our national vocabulary.

    Overlanding Cigar Aficionados

    I had tried cigars a handful of times, before the military, even snuck one with my older brother and cousins at a wedding when I was 6. Still, the Army is when it really got started - will never forget that 1st Army cigar. Was out in the middle of nowhere on a training exercise and I was a...

    Overlanding Cigar Aficionados

    Right here... picked up stogie smokin' in the Army. Took some effort, but hunted down the incredibly rare Series Land Rover cigar lighter for Grover. Look closely at the pic; the gauge below the lighter has an exposed light, I made a shield for it out of a cigar tube.

    What do you use for camp light?

    Still doesn't diminish the damage to the retina.

    What do you use for camp light?

    Two of the main reasons I do not use LED lights as much as possible is due to two things - they are too bright and they hurt my eyes. Also, several studies have now come to light showing that LED lights are irreparably damaging the retina in eyes. They also disturb biological and sleep...

    What is this structure

    Steam driven sawmill? Steam driven pump? Is there more context? That area was known for logging and mining, steam engines were often used.

    Tailgate Trash Systems

    None of the colors offered go with the rims, or body color on my rig. So, I'd probably have to send one off to a specialist and have color dyed to match, or just run down to some overland boutique at a galleria to find something else. Why do these types of post always make me think of that...
