    Mushroom hunting

    I hope you setup camp and plan on staying a while if you have that kind.

    Mushroom hunting

    Just curious how many other overlanders out there forage wild mushrooms while you're out and about. Here in WA I frequently find Shaggy Manes and Shaggy Parasols. This summer I found some black morels growing on my property and this fall also found a few Chanterelles. What mushrooms do you...

    Any Ketogenic “Keto“ Overlanders?

    If you're craving pasta, check out Banza. Made from chickpeas it's really quite good and leaves me feeling a whole lot better than wheat based pasta.

    Just upgraded my pintle hitch

    I was tired of the clunking between truck and trailer, especially on pothole filled logging roads. I just took a dead mountain bike tire and 4 zip ties and made a big improvement to the towing experience. No more clanking whatsoever.

    Help choosing a blender

    How about a Blendtec? That looks powerful enough.

    Diesel jerry cans

    What's your favorite diesel jerry can solution? I have a ton of roof space on my 1996 Hummer wagon, but am considering getting some kind of rear bumper carrier. Having a potential fuel leak at the bumper instead of the roof seems ... less bad.

    What OBD-II display do you use?

    My thoughts exactly. I also like to monitor stats for things that I don't have stock dash gauges for, such as turbo pressure and transmission temp.

    What OBD-II display do you use?

    I've used a ScanGauge II on my Hummer for a long time, but am developing my own based on the Raspberry Pi platform. More info about it on my website. I'd love to know what other people are using and what you like/dislike/wish it had.

    How to reduce clanking/banging of pintle hitch?

    Anyone have a good trick or product that will reduce the clanking of the pintle hitch while on logging roads? I have a HMMWV trailer that I pull with my Hummer. Would like that banging around sound to go away.

    Add hyperlink in signature?

    Ah, that probably explains it. Thanks.

    Add hyperlink in signature?

    There is no link icon on the edit page for the signature like there is here on the forum.

    Add hyperlink in signature?

    Editing my signature appears to support BBCode, but whenever I try adding a link following this example it just removes the hyperlink and I end up with the plain text. Is it possible to add hyperlinks in our signatures? If so, how is that done? Thanks.

    Show us your shemagh

    That's a good point. I think maybe I'll just try to find one made from bamboo. I have a bamboo shirt and it's one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I own.

    Show us your shemagh

    I'm looking for a good shemagh. Not only does it seem like an essential backpacking/overlanding piece of gear, but, while stuck in civilization, I could use it as a facemask. The only thing I'm not sure about is the material. I want to avoid cotton. Other options are merino wool, polyester...

    Wanted Ram mount for iPhone 5 with windshield suction cup

    Just wondering if anyone out there has a Ram mount for an iPhone 5 that they'd like to get rid of in the interest of recycling. I am using my wife's old iPhone 5 to display OBD-II information and need a solid way to attach it to the inside of the windshield. Something like this would be perfect...

    Any Ketogenic “Keto“ Overlanders?

    Does physical activity have any impact on a day-to-day basis, meaning, does working out make this problem worse or help? Have you read any of Dr. Phil Maffetone's MAF Method? By using his 180 Formula you can improve your aerobic system. I don't know if this would help with your heart rate...
