Looks good. Clean and tidy.

@stringtwelve - That's not "a little" glamping!! :grinning: Well done. Keeping your bride happy is essential in getting out more often. :kissingheart:

Thanks for sharing the trip with us. Looks like a great area to spend more time in. Continue to post more of your trips for us all.

I think having the kit and skills to provide help in various settings is important. If you are going somewhere very remote or with questionable (by first world standards) medical care, be more self-reliant. If you just need to make a call and hold someone's hand until EMS arrives, that's...

Lots of good scenery in that trip! Thanks for sharing it with us. Love that picture of the people playing on the dunes, by the way.

We had a Member's Location map on the old forum. I didn't use it often, but it was neat to see where everyone was from. Is that still around and I just haven't found it, or is it gone... nothing but a distant memory of a soon forgotten bit of software?

I'm with you on the trip home - especially the last bit. When I get close to home I just want to get home. Bee-line straight for the driveway! Take advantage of the time you have to wander around on the way home. You may not have the chance to explore some of those areas again for a while...

If I know the trail - I just go. I likely have waypoints stored in my GPS, a paper copy in my trail maps binder and the trail highlighted in my copy of the Backroads MapBook. Those three things go with me on almost all trips, if nothing more than conversation fodder. If it's new to me, I'll...

Just as I was getting ready to enjoy some hammock time, I turned my back and BOOM.... the Half-Pint was in there!

In my recovery gear drawer in the back of the Jeep: 1 - 30' recovery strap 1 - 20' recovery strap 4 - D-ring shackles shovel hatchet or axe takedown saw small tarp (8' x 10') Hi-Lift jack winch tree strap snatch block I usually go out with other Jeep drivers. Recovery gear is essential as...

I have built my own kit to grow as I've developed my first aid skills (Wilderness FA) or the training of my better half. My wife works at a large hospital and can bring home "expired" items like bandages and other non-drug consumables. I mostly have stuff for cuts, scrapes, small burns and the...

I have my maps in a 3-ring binder, with each map in a plastic sleeve. I can show people where I'm going and ask questions about camp sites, etc. I also use the Backroad MapBook for the region I am traveling in (Ontario, Canada for the most part). I find them to be quite helpful. I use a GPS...

If you travel in a group, with a club or at an off-road event you should have what the organizers use or suggest - and know the frequency!. I've seen ham, CB and even little FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies used for different things. If you want to hear what's going on, use what the locals use. I...

Sounds interesting. I like the idea of the points being outside of the forum boundaries... doing what we talk about doing! Look forward to lots of people racking up their point totals and seeing the pictures of the adventures.

I see there are some people that have different 'levels' beside their username. Can you shed some light on what they represent and how these levels, badges and points are accumulated? Inquiring minds need to know. :yum:

That's kind of similar to what I did for my own tailgate table... Mine's not very fancy, but it works for the needs we have - a little snack table, drink tray, etc.

Middle and late September - two trips... :smile: It's been too long between trips this summer. Something that will be corrected for next year.

I've run Firestone Destination MTs on LR Freelander and then on a DiscoII. Then switched to BFG KO ATs for the next set. I have both BFG KO AT and BFG KM2 MTs for the Jeep now on different rims. Not a huge BFG fan-boy, but they have a history of performing well. Pictures... just because.

Our 2008 4-door Rubicon has 88,xxx km (approx. 55,000 miles) on it. My 2014 F-150 for work has 82,xxx km on it... My wife drives the Jeep about 6 minutes to work, so it's miles are pretty low. We'll put more on during a weekend trip than she will in a month of regular use.

I can appreciate the 'busting a shin' comment. Those carriers don't have much give to them, compare to the human anatomy! Ran into one running around behind a buddy's DiscoII at an off-roading even in Virginia. Left a goose egg on my shin for the weekend. I didn't know he had one installed...
