    Dangerous National Parks

    Kinda surprized The Everglades isn't on this list.... seen countless tourists try and shake hands or selfie with an alligator only to find out gators are quick and not very friendly.

    How do you transport your fishing rod?

    Depending on the value of the rod/reel, I either just throw them assembled into the covered truck bed or I break them down in half (I prefer two piece rods) and lay them across the back seats. I used to have a case for each one but that gets expensive when you live in S. Florida and you have, so...

    From pickup truck to SUV?

    The time has come when I have to realize that my kids are starting to get taller and that the family comfort should play a bigger part into our adventures. My Silverado has been great through travels and day to day requirements. I'd still like something that can tow an ATV (maybe two) and what I...

    Do you keep a knife or hatchet/axe in your rig?

    I keep a Eastwing Camp Axe, a SOG Hatchet, an Ontario Machete, and an Ontario Blades Afghan Knife plus an assortment of folders and two Leatherman's throughout my truck. They are always in the truck and I've found that the random use justifies the daily carry. I've also started keeping a 24 inch...

    Recommendations for cheap/simple point 'n shoot cameras?

    Check out Offerup or Let Go for your area. You'd be amazed how often people are trying to sell older cameras. I sold one Megapixel about a year ago which I bought when 12MB was big resolution. Sold it for $5 and used it, probably, all of 3-4 times. Sony has some nice pocket cameras.

    Under Armor advice

    GOOD AT or Mud tires should be the priority. In terms of armor, the Fuel Tank and Transfer Case are my suggestion. Followed by the Shocks and anything that hangs at the same height or lower than the shocks. Lift kit will help but depending on what you are planning on doing, it could wait a bit...

    Tires

    There is a world wide rubber shortage that isn't being talked about widely yet. None of the big manufacturers are identifying it yet but probably within the next couple of weeks/months we'll see it hit big. You have to figure they will prioritize their prime sellers first (passenger and...

    The Great Chip Shortage / What Happens Next ?

    I know the big three are prioritizing their available chips to the biggest projected sellers for the current market. Ford, I believe for the Bronco and Mustang. GM for their Pickups and SUV's, and Chrys/Fiat for their Ram and Jeeps. Everything else is getting chips as they become available but...

    UP Michigan

    I miss Michigan so much....Florida is COMPLETELY different. Brother still lives up there so I visit at least once/twice a year. The UP was always a nice area and full of so many getaway spots.

    What Tyres Are Recommended for Off-roading (including the trip there on the motorway)

    Great examples and writeups here for the new and old. I agree with all the KO2 mentions. I used them for years for daily driving and camping and when I started with overlanding. I use Toyo OC3's now and they've held up well and are good on the highway. Might go back to KO2's when these wear...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Lucky You! My wife sees me looking at stuff or talking about stuff and says stuff like "what about a vacation or trip?"....to which I usually respond "sure, how long can I be gone for"....she doesn't like that :blush:

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Idk how fancy you want to go with it...but I purchased one of those circular motion sensor lights from Home Depot for about $10 and it works great for me when I open my tonneau cover in the dark. You might have to waive your hand around it every now and then but its a good/cheap option. They...
