    Overland Discord server

    I've seen several people ask if there was an Overland focused Discord server for chatting with other overlanders. I haven't seen one shared yet, so I created one. Here is the invite link. I figure the worst case scenario is that no one uses it. In which case no one was hurt. Best case...

    overland bound discord server?

    I've created an Overland Discord server. Use this invite link. If you don't like Discord, then don't use it. See you there!

    overland bound discord server?

    Did anything ever come of this? I think an OB Discord server sounds like a great idea.

    Resolved What happened to the Off Topic forum?

    That's too bad. I thought it was fun talking with overlanders about non-overlanding things.

    Resolved What happened to the Off Topic forum?

    I can't seem to find the Off Topic forum. Has it been removed? If so, will it be back?

    Anyone used a vehicle leveler app?

    Those were my thoughts exactly. I was approached with a software development idea very similar to that app, but was wondering how much demand there was for such a thing.

    Anyone use something like this app to help you level your rig at base camp?

    Anyone have experience with Bluetooth adapter for Baofeng handheld radios?

    I'm not sure. I'll give that a try. My first thought is that wind noise might be activating it all the time. But it's worth a shot. Thanks.

    Anyone have experience with Bluetooth adapter for Baofeng handheld radios?

    For a motorcycle I could see how that would work out, but on the bicycle I think wireless becomes even more important. Our radios we drop in our jersey back pockets and route the wire up our backs to our earpieces. With the radios in this position it'd mean a wire going from our back pocket to...

    Anyone have experience with Bluetooth adapter for Baofeng handheld radios?

    Well, I already have a wired headset with a PTT that is inline with the headset wire. I'm looking for a solution that lets me have a wireless earpiece and a PTT button on my handlebars.

    Mountain biking

    Our winter's been pretty mild here in western WA so far. Got out for some muddy fun yesterday. Happy 2021 to you too!

    Anyone have experience with Bluetooth adapter for Baofeng handheld radios?

    Just wondering if anyone has experience with something like this that actually works well. I'm trying to find a good solution for use with some of my cycling friends who use the Baofeng radios on road rides. We can sometimes be separated by half a mile or more and having radio communication is...

    Let them eat SPAM!

    It would be cool to see Spam worked into a recipe from the local cuisine as you're traveling through.

    Fridge Sizes - Let me see yours!

    I took one of the rear seats out of my Hummer and my ARB now sits on the floor. Its so low that I don't need to slide it out to access it easily. Maybe something to consider if your seats are easily removable.

    Cheap upgrade to my pintle hitch

    Thanks, I'll check them out one of these days (probably soon after my tire hack fails) and see what they have.

    Cheap upgrade to my pintle hitch

    Yeah, butter coffee is my daily breakfast. Lost about 40lbs and have kept it off and feel so much healthier. One of my clients, Scott Hunt of Practical Preppers, stuck to the Carnivore diet to lose over 80 lbs!

    Cheap upgrade to my pintle hitch

    I don't have very many miles on this yet, but I'm wondering the same thing. Since the cost is nearly $0.00 I won't be too bothered if I have to replace this every once in a while. The San Juans make for a great winter time overland destination.

    Cheap upgrade to my pintle hitch

    I was tired of my pintle hitch between my Hummer and M1101 trailer clanking and banging around while on pothole filled logging roads. Took a dead mountain bike tire and some zip ties and just made a big reduction in the noise that thing made.

    Stolen Hummer in Vancouver, BC

    Turns out the owner is on the Pacific Northwest Hummer Owners Group mailing list that I manage and he said this: "We recovered it a few hours ago down a dead end road near my house. Needs a bit of work and some camping stuff was stolen but it is minimal thankfully."
