    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    30, love it! Perfect size for us, we don't bring a ton of refrigerated things with us and space is at a HUGE premium with a family of 3 in a tiny truck like ours

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    It's mounted directly behind the faucet. I also put foam under the back to make it lean towards the outlet to give me full use of the capacity on level ground. Filling it completely full though is harder since I need to lean the truck forward, easy at my house at least since there's a berm near...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Is it really an overlanding rig if there's no kitchen sink? Checked that off the list Water setup: 25gal rv freshwater tank, rv water pump, filter (currently a charcoal cartridge but can get ones for making stream water safe to drink if need be), folding faucet. The hose to the faucet has a...

    Took my son on his first camping trip

    I don't know much about it, belongs to a co-worker. It's ratty, basically stock say for I think a shackle flip in the back, 35" tires. Him and his wife sleep in the canopy on a futon mattress when they camp, very bare bones setup

    Overlanding with Physical Limitations

    It's awesome to see people refusing to throw in the towel, truly inspires me. My wife has a rare genetic disorder that caused a brain hemorrhage when she was 6mo old, resulting in brain damage and permanent loss of right side motor skills. But it's never held her back, she even refuses a...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    On the trailer I used to have, the brakes were useless on anything other than pavement. The trailer was 1800lbs loaded and would just slide even with the settings at minimum on the controller. So in my opinion, under 2k, not a big deal, over, definitely. One thing I always wanted to do was have...

    Took my son on his first camping trip

    We did most of the Barlow Road out in the Mt. Hood Forest, camped near White River. He didn't do great, but it was new, so we'll try again! Truck was crammed full, and I smashed up a hitch carrier, lol. Got back and immediately went and bought a yakima roof box, my little truck is at capacity!

    Cancelled NwOR SwWA March Meetup

    I'm gonna cancel this folks, I know there's several perspectives on the Coronavirus situation, but regardless I feel it best to be on the cautious side of things (especially since I have a 10mo old son with a compromised immune system and a host of other medical conditions). Hopefully all this...

    Cancelled NwOR SwWA March Meetup

    Another meetup at Mule Expedition Outfitter's in Tualatin! Not during an open house this time so it'll just be us. From 10a-noon, hopefully we can talk as a group about what to do for future meetups. See you there!

    US Northwest NW-OR SW-WA Meetup

    No, it was hard to figure out who was OB and who was just there for the open house, plus it was pouring rain. The next one won't be during an open house.

    NwOR SwWA meetups

    Was good to see familiar faces and meet new friends at the meetup today, thanks for coming out everyone! This wasn't just an OB gathering as it was Mule's open house, so I'm not sure how many of us turned up. I'll be emailing Tom of Mule tomorrow evening to setup the next one, my plan is to do...

    Possible monthly NW-OR SW-WA meetup idea, input?

    Hey guys, Steven here (changed username from OregonViewFinders). I've been thinking about trying to get a regular meetup going and might have gotten it figured out. Life has been a bit wild for us with my son's recent medical needs, but with no regular meetups for us in this area going I'm...

    Cancelled Meetup! NW-OR SW-WA

    Let's get together, visit, and check out each other's rigs! This spot is in Tillamook State Forest and is easily accessed by any type of vehicle that can handle a gravel road. There is no cell service here (at least with Verizon). My ham radio will be on the whole time I'm there. Also no...
