    Overland Bound Flag?

    I like that

    OB'ers vs Covid19

    Nationwide, confirmed mortalityrate is around 6%, some areas, like NYC are around 8%. Now ask yourself is the mortality rate so low because of the Draconian efforts to stop the spread? Or would it have had no affect at all? I'm ready to cautiously restart lives again and watch and wait and see...

    OB'ers vs Covid19

    For comparison, I live in York county, one of Maine's hotspots, comparatively, and I know no one who has had it or tested positive for it. Being a sacrificial essential worker for a medical devices parts supplier, most people have had to come to work. I figured by now, we would have had...

    Trail Security

    more like pointed in the general direction :tonguewink: buckshot will fly all over the place in a full choke tube. The shot gets deformed and flight characteristics of the shot are unpredictable. I mean, its not going to hit somebody standing off to the side or anything, but it flings out way...

    Trail Security

    No problems taking firearms across the border into Canada? I've never done it so no idea what it entails. A 12 gauge with rifled slugs should be good enough for short range, I would think.

    I'm still using beta because the app doesn't show in the Google play store when I search for it.

    widowmakers

    I've moved campsites because of potential widowmakers. They are a thing. People get killed from them.

    Water Purification System

    Might be good for a group. Looks like the filter that was shown on XOverland when they picked up Team5 in Guatemaula

    Tacoma Overland Drawer 2.0 PullKitchen project

    At least. I answered your survey. I thought $2000 was a fair and reasonable price. Then I started pricing out parts and think $4000 is probably closer to fair :grinning:

    Trail Security

    We don't have a democracy. That's tyranny by the majority. We have a representative Republic. Our government is perversely created to be unworkable. If our government was efficient, we would have Nazi Germany, Stalin's USSR, Mao's PRC...the danger is Government, always has been, always will be...

    Trail Security

    I've never felt the need to carry the entire time I've been hiking in Maine and NH. Guns are everywhere. Maine, NH and VT are Constitutional carry states. Lowest crime rates in the country. Black bears take off running when they see you. The Eastern Coyotes I've seen, here, are wolf hybrids...

    OB Approved B.O.B. (Bug out Bag)

    I want to challenge you to carry all that stuff and walk for three days in any direction you choose. Camp out every night and get up and walk in the morning. I can guarantee that 3/4 of that stuff will end up on the ground before you get to your destination. Keep it lightweight, keep it simple...

    OB Approved Hypothermia: What is it, How to treat and prevent it.

    If you want a good read on the affects of hypothermia and the cascading effects of poor decision making, read "Where you will find me" by Ty Gagne. Its about what lead to the death of Kate Matrosova on Mt Jefferson in NH. Tragic story.

    Looking for a tough, small Linux computer for my rig

    Raspberry Pi's were looked at, but they weren't ruggedized, nor could the engineers figure a way to make them work without 32GB or RAM, and dual nics. We still have a couple kicking around the shop, somewhere. The company I work with either wants something for free, or to spend $3 million on...

    Coffee Percolators

    I was up training to run an off-grid hut in Carrabassett Valley and the volunteer coordinator was showing us how to make a good cup of coffee. The secret is to not use boiling water, but just below boiling temp, like 190F. She used the pour over method and filled a carafe. The coffee is pretty...

    Looking for a tough, small Linux computer for my rig

    We use these things in areas of the shop floor that can be high temps, or corrosive to monitor equipment parameters. https://www.onlogic.com/ml100g-51/?cpsrc=SmartShopping&agname=&kw=&gclid=CjwKCAjwv4_1BRAhEiwAtMDLsnbQcIYaV6ES5gpnZ0oSc0Tr8d_2BtLpbypuaWOD3fE2K7UjKp4ZDhoCOb8QAvD_BwE

    A dark mode to help with battery life would be nice.
