Or just an open bar?

You can drive I-10 across the state. It takes 12 hours of straight driving to go from Beaumont to El Paso...

Do anyone use the Chat feature? It really burns up a lot of resources when on a tablet and I refuse to use Tapatalk as that is glorified data-mining spyware.

Not so much added to the wishlist, but I start cutting out foamcore forms for the front bumper before I cut steel. I have an Amazon wishlist of things I want for my rig, but it'll run of the mill stuff, nothing super-cool, just practical gear I know I'll need for what I want to do.

Curtis is a character, I've known him for a long time and have purchased a number of his knives because they are simply an incredible quality, completely hand made and surprisingly inexpensive for a handmade top quality knife.

My EDC knife is an Emerson CQC-B wave, best folder I've ever owned. My straight blades are made by CM Forge. http://www.cmforgeknives.com/

You never know when you need one... http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/Man-Loses-Hand-During-Fight-Outside-Bryan-Nightclub--339487572.html?device=tablet&c=y I have a nearly 20 year old machete that was a hardware store no-name special. I can't kill it, it stays sharp, worth every bit of the...

Rear shock replacement on the adventure van. I swear to god there is an engineer in Deerborn whose sole job is to modify designs to make wear items im-fucking-possible to do. It took wedging a box wrench on the top nut against the body, holding it in place with a finger (got my bear sized hand...

Unimog would probably be just about right...

Along this topic I made a video about home made "MREs" a while back:

"Nice Rack" flip over "..on your roof, you must be Overland Bound!"

When? "Spring, spring" or "Yellowstone spring?" I'll be there the second week of June, which is sort of "yellowstone spring."

The custom panel arrived from Front Panel Express. Check them out, for less than a family dinner out I had a custom made aluminum panel with my logo made and shipped. Their free software makes it easy to design,meet a quote and order. I think I'm done making panels out of kydex by hand, this...

We found that those 1# bottles only last 1/2 the night and I'm not a fan of the safety valve setup on those bottles, so we got the standard propane bottle adapter and hose. I agree that the little heater is awesome, just becareful though, the heat will melt synthetic fibers. I set ours on a...

I can't imagine how they're not losing money on the emblem, it is very nicely made.

We're slackers and opt to stay at hotels while traveling (when not set to camp) and the family adventure van is our basic family truckster, so even with no gear, the van roof rack antennas and all is rolling. In dfw and the hotel is self parking in a garage that has under 7ft clearance or...

With even the expensive coleman tents we couldn't get one to last more than a season. I chose a period correct design to have no zippers to fail. If a tie fails I can sew it back on by hand in a few minutes. The longest pole on my design is the rafter at 77", other brands have shorter peaks...

Many online communities have the cool kid crowd, it isn't enough to have the same "required" cool kid gear, but it takes a god like blessing to be accepted into the ironic cliche. That isn't limited to overlanders, it exists in every sub-genre of our society. In the 11 years I spent as a very...

Wilson repeater with the 37" trucker antenna. It's the first antenna, over the driver's b-pillar. Even before the antenna upgrade, with the crappy little mag mount antenna we got about a 6db gain and had 3G in The Basin in Big Bend for the first time ever.

People ask me for free books, people ask me for free t-shirts, people ask me for free morale patches. Friends ask to pay for signed copies of my books because they believe in me and understand that those books cost me money. They pay for t-shirts and they pay for morale patches or other swag...
