    What Trail Condition Do You Fear The Most?

    ICE. I do a lot of winter adventuring and have encountered a couple pretty terrifying no-traction situations caused by shelves of ice buried under deep, untracked snow.

    Thanks man! Feel free to Hit me up if you have any questions regarding the particulars of these cars. They are great, but like most vehicles they have their quirks and known issues. Are you looking at older or more recent models?

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Just a quick jaunt today through Pittstown State Forest in Rensselaer County... We've spent surprisingly little time in Rensselaer and will have to come back and explore more. Traipsed down a nice, long access road followed by an accidental excursion into ATV/snowmobile trail territory...

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Had the day off yesterday and the weather and lighting conditions--intermittent showers; overcast skies--seemed perfect for a nice adventure drive in the Catskill Mountains. Boys go to daycare during the week so I had the rare luxury of a SOLO adventure . . . Had to find a new way to generate...

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Well, at last the stars aligned and I was able to set aside time free of wife, kids, And work to tackle the obnoxious passenger side front wheel bearing that's been a thorn in my side for a good couple of months. And tackle it I did. By the time I finished a good 4.5 hours later, I looked like...

    OB Approved Camping with Firearms

    Both your points above are super well articulated. I used the word "may" on purpose in regard to the potential to invite violence but I realize that perhaps I should have worded it differently for clarity's sake. Anyway, glad to have an open and honest civil discourse on this topic here [emoji108]

    OB Approved Camping with Firearms

    For the sake of contrast--I would say that as an American, I have never in my life felt a pressing need to own or carry a firearm. That means in the hood, that means in the woods, that means in my home, that means anywhere. I know how to shoot guns, I know how to clean guns, and truth be told...

    An old coworker of mine used to live out of hers, both here in the northeast and in Colorado. Don't know a Damn thing about them beyond that but it seems like a solid endorsement.

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Not gonna have an opportunity to get the new meats on until next week, so in lieu of big tire porn, I make you the humble offer of the weekend's adventure pics. The weather has been super hot and dry here for the past couple of weeks, and much of the mud on the forest roads has dried up. So I...

    Overlanding is not Elitist!

    I've yet to have anyone say anything not positive to my face regarding my modified Volvo wagon. The responses are either outright enthusiastic, or confusion followed by excitement lol. About the most "flack" I've got is some smirky glances from jeep drivers passing me in traffic. But I'm 32...
