I still believe the intellectual property/patent issue is far overlooked here. I'll pay for the company that invested its time and intellectual/physical energy into something. Allowing knockoffs into the market and then buying it because of price point is that slippery slope issue. A race to the...

I can agree. This is why I spend so much time doing research, watching/reading product reviews by non sponsored individuals. The camping segment of the outdoor market has grown by leaps and bounds. Not all vendors/manufacturers actually put out a well designed/engineered/manufactured product...

Thanks for the link. Looks like one of my trips planned will need to be revised. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

This truck looks familiar. How mid peninsula are you? San Carlos? I swear I've seen this truck on El Camino. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

As a former REI employee(college job), I can attest to the merits of the used gear sale goods. Most of my gear came from there when I was starting out. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I have never called you a name here. I am merely suggesting you look up the meaning of capitalist. The context you are using it in implies that you actually mean consumer. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/capitalism There is more available online if you should choose to search it out...

I think you need to head on over to Miriam Webster's Dictionary and look up what a capitalist is...

Okay, Ill calm down. I just see my money as an investment into the society that I value. Others see their money as a different type off tool. I have to remember that we don't all share the same beliefs as I do.

So you are buying a pto overdrive for your 1948 Willyz? Or some fold up chairs designed by a fella in Poughkeepsie NY and now being knocked off by a manufacturing plant in Shenyang? Seriously? You are acting as if it is a difficult task to discern one from the other?

Actually free markets and competition have rules. Rules like copyrights and patents. You are missing those points... When you have an item copyrighted and or patented, that offers a level of legal protection in the free market. Look it up. It is very important and is one of the founding...

I wonder if you have ever manufactured something? Designed something? Engineered something? Produced something? These are all things that companies invest time, money, sweat, blood, futures and families in. By purchasing a "knock off", you are actively undermining the original creator. You are...

It was a nice little last minute meetup. I saw a few interesting vehicles. Met a few people I haven't seen in person before. Too bad the coffee place didn't open until 8am... Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

^^^ This is a great way to introduce yourself to primitive camping and also a great way to find out what you need/forgot/willmake the trip more pleasant... The advantages of Prewitt Ridge is that you are not very far from civilization. Which means if you forgot something essential, its just a...

Overlanding(Car camping/offroading/wheelin/camping/trekking... call it what you will) is what you make of it. When I was a teenager and had my old jeeps, I thought camping was a 12 pack of beer, hot dogs and getting out to the remotest part of the sierras I could find without breaking anything...

No pic, but I spotted a mid nineties F250 crewcab longbed w/campershell. It was haulin balls down El Camino in San Carlos. Saw him turn into Homie Despot. I was trundling along in the County truck. Nice looking truck. We had one in our family for years. I used to love hearing that turbo spool...

The moderators have spoken! Does this mean there is an approved format? I haven't seen it in action yet if there is. Time to start cleaning up the for sale section then... Please, don't take this as a negative response. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

You missed the voting period... However, input is what is needed to hash this out. Sticky or sub forum. The people have spoken for the sub forum. In other forums that I am a member of, each region has its own moderator. That helps takes the load off of the main moderators. Sent from my...

Right, so we seem to have come to a consensus on the sub forum for sale thing. Moderators? What say you. Voting for the poll has closed. @Corrie Can we make this happen? Also, the poll voting doesn't appear to work on the mobile app. Just an FYI.

Correct. I didn't have my rack on for that trip. I swear I had probably 1" of space up top. Hopefully you didn't have a line behind you. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Usal Beach! I have the same type of photo of my Pro peeking out from the Chandler tree as well. Your truck has more goodies than mine. Looks great. Welcome to the fold. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk
