Try Backwoods Overland in Mt Airy MD. Owner, Nick, has a 4Runner. Has been great outfitting my Rubicon. Really appreciate his commitment to doing things right.

Getting ready for overland camping and need recommendations for good, packable table for cooking and eating. Tried GCI folding tables, which were great except too slippery. Any tables you've found to work well? note: Trailgater for Jeep is backordered. not sure when when it will arrive.

Hello and Welcome from Ellicott City Md. Look forward to seeing you on the trail.

Cut all the winter's downed limbs past two days. Amazed at how fast the Bigboy cut through 4-6 inch green pine. Curved blade made it easy and low energy/effort. HOT water and dish detergent cleaned up the resin/sap, as did full-strength Simple Green on a rag.

Throw a tarp or "space" blanket over the tent before putting the fly on. Warm it up with Mr Buddy heater before turning in. Folks at Gazelle confirmed sub-freezing temps will not be an issue for materials.

Last purchase was Silky Bigboy 2000 Folding Saw. Firewood and trees across the road don't stand a chance! (lol)

I second that. We rarely get to use our astronomical binoculars.

Wife and I switched to WFPB (Whole Food Plant Based) eating 5.5 years ago to maximize health, vitality, and longevity. Only camped once since then, and prepared food in advance for sandwiches or heating. Will try to find/post some good recipes.

Thanks for all the guidance! I took a shot at the annual permit by mail, and will stop en route for a day pass if the annual permit doesn't reach me in time.

OK... Not interested in making the trip only to search for and possibly not find a day pass. Can a day pass be purchased in advance? How can I get an annual pass? Can it be done remotely? As you can tell, this is all new to me.

In that case, I also have a pair of Maxtrax, recovery strap, and TreeSaver.

Also have portable compressor, if that is relevant.

Have taken off-road 101 at both Chaos and Rausch, and have visited each a second time for add’l off-road experience. Did Canaan Loop and another trail near Davis, WV recently. Stock Rubicon Recon with winch, add’l lighting, fridge, cb, gmrs. Would consider myself beginner-novice. So much to...

Wife and I anticipate tent camping Sat night, and would welcome the opportunity to hang out with everyone.

Figured the weather would be a wild card. May have to rethink doing it solo.

Understood. Will plan on getting that Sat AM.

What permit is What kind of permit is it? Something specific to this trail? I have Lifetime pass for all national parks and forests, so if that's what is needed, I'm good.

Good info in your campground link. Thanks.

Hi - Replied earlier, but doesn't appear to have worked. I just joined this outing, and look forward to meeting and riding with everyone. I have a spare handheld CB should someone need one. (Range from within my JKU is very limited - other vehicles may be different - but should be adequate on...

Hello to all - Been reading through the thread on OB and would like to join in the fun. Wife & I live in Ellicott City MD,
