Count it!

I’m usually never serious, Overlampersandn. ;-)

I know that... it was a joke... ;-) <insert Leonard_Big_Bang_Theory_Sarcasm_Sign.jpeg>

I have no idea what OVERLAMPERSANDN means.

Post 'em up. Your best shots of camp at night. No sunset pictures. No sunrise pictures. I want NIGHT shots ONLY! Bonus points for awesome Milky Way shots with light painted vehicles or lit up tents, because those kind of pictures make me drool on my keyboard. Here's my best, now you go!

I think I win :tongueclosed::tongueclosed::tongueclosed::tongueclosed::tongueclosed::tongueclosed::tongueclosed:

We're almost caught up to present! Wow. After the adventures of this summer, fall was upon us. But, before the Fall Equinox, we decided to send off summer properly - without doors! We rode over Kingston Peak trail, starting in the mid-afternoon, to catch the sunset at ~12,000 feet. We...

For a soft shell RTT... I like it, granted, I haven’t used the annex that came with it yet, but based on some “calculations” I did, it should work fine with the orientation over the back. If I was doing the build completely over again? I would go Ursa Minor J30... and I still might do that at...

Fast forward a few days, and the dealer replaced my oil pan. After that, I reinstalled the motor / engine oil pan skid plate with the new, redesigned brackets (which arrived 2 days after I placed the call to MetalCloak about the issue). I checked the clearances of both brackets this time and was...

Picking up where I left off, I limped back to Denver with a vehicle escort from our group. The QuikSteel patch held nicely. Frankly, given that it held all the way back to Denver, it likely would have held forever. If QuikSteel is not in your recovery kit, I suggest that you change that...

Yeah, we have a bunch in the Rockies, too. TouRig is in Golden, White River Overland is in Aspen, In•Spired Van is in the Teton Valley, VanWorks is in Fort Collins, etc... everyone is getting into the upfitting biz.

Wow, the thread is in dire need of an update. Sooo, where to start? Well, the first weekend I had the van, I did a pretty epic maiden voyage... I went from Denver up just north of Fort Collins and west over to the Red Feather Lakes area and camped with some friends, and got some dirt under the...

I've been jonesing for a Sprinter for a few years. I've got the Jeep for the moderate to heavy stuff off-road. To me, the Sprinter is not a replacement for the Jeep and vice versa. I got the Sprinter because I am looking to use it as a mountain biking / hiking / snowboarding base camp, and for...

So... the next morning... We rolled out of camp, and to the gas station in the town nearby as we had a long day of driving ahead of us, and would need to fill up both the on-board tanks in the Jeeps and our auxiliary fuel. We'd need every drop. I had just finished filling up the Jeep and the...

Mods / Admins - Is there something I need to do / add to this post to get it "OB Approved"?

Your original statement was “don’t hang out with people who drink.” Most people drink (U.S. numbers, but according to the NIH which cites the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 86.4% of people ages 18+ reported they drank alcohol at some point in their lives, 70.1% of people reported...

This. Multiple time a year, I get out with a group of at least 3-8 rigs for multi-day expeditions where we cover a lot of ground during the day exploring and camp at night. Each night at camp, booze is consumed. But, we all know where the line is. If someone were to be drinking (or using...

I drink; I just know where the line is... but blanket statements are always good, right?

Eh. I’d consider going somewhere and camping all weekend to be just that... camping. A multi-day expedition that is vehicle-dependent, involves adventure, exploration, route planning, and camping? That’s overlanding. If I go out in the Jeep and drive out to my favorite camp spot and plop down...

I hope you use a carbon monoxide sensor or 5 and vent the tent well... CO is lighter than air, so heat isn’t the only thing rising into your tent... :eek:
