Google Photos will definitely do what you want to do.

Made a few updates to the main post. As I do more research into how SAR missions are funded and carried out, it's becoming evident that most states don't seem to offer a way to contribute to a state SAR fund through the purchase of a SAR card in the way that Colorado does. I have started...

Hadn’t even thought of Amazon, but good to know. Thanks for sharing. I guess I always forget about the other Prime benefits since I have Prime through a shared account, but I’m not the main member so I don’t get Prime Video and the other benefits that only go to the main member on shared...

Yeah, man! That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Nice work!

Glad you enjoyed the read. Hoping it is helpful info for some folks!

One of my absolute favorite things to do on forums, whether it be here on OB or one of the various other forums I'm a member of, is share photographs of adventures and trips. For me, photography is a hobby that I really enjoy pursuing and it goes hand-in-hand with overland travel. To avoid...

Yikes. I didn't think anyone still used photobucket with so many better alternatives out there these days.

I think you’ve got yourself a dire wolf, there.

We’re in a club of 50... :)

Another method I have seen people adopting which is arguable safer than the Mr. Buddy heater (but still poses fire risk) is to use a GoalZero (or similar) battery to power an electric blanket.

I am not a fan of the idea of putting a Mr. Buddy heater inside a small enclosed space that people will be in, especially sleeping in, for carbon monoxide reasons and for fire hazard reasons. This is coming from someone that is currently building a Sprinter van and is installing an Espar D2...

Let's keep it rolling, folks! More pics! More, I say!

Now the big modifications begin. I ordered the MOAB bed from Adventure Wagon, as well as the MOAB bed support tracks. I also ordered an Espar D2 kit, and some other Espar related goodies (external temp sensor, programmable / timer controller, etc.) from Heatso. They arrive tomorrow. I'll be...

The next addition was minor. I exchanged my Thule Apex Swing 4 for a RockyMounts BackStage. Why? A few reasons: I hate the fact that the Thule Apex Swing 4 has to touch the frame of the bike - the two bikes that I travel with are both carbon, and that is not good for the frame or the paint...

And, one more adventure before the really big changes... The Overland Van's first trip to Fruita. This. This is why I bought this van. To Fruita we go! Was meeting the guys at camp in the wash, so I picked up some pizza from Hot Tomato in Fruita. Camp at sunrise the next morning. Ready...

Next, it was time to ditch that horrible factory stereo system. I made some decisions on the in-van-entertainment side of things. After looking at the various in-dash units available, I decided to go with the Alpine iLX-F309 Halo9 unit. Alpine Halo9 Ultimately, I decided that I would...

I also got a little better at organization, thanks to a couple of Sterilite boxes and a buddy who donated some bungee cords to the van... A nice improvement over this...

Alright, now that I have caught up the Jeep build thread, it's time to focus on the "Overland Van" build. Between the last update and now, some BIG things have happened. First things first, I took the van on another adventure. I went mountain biking with some buddies (Rainbow Trail... the...

Alright... So, finally... to catch us up to present, and probably the last Jeep trip post until spring (spring is when I take my big annual trip and usually do some modifications). Until then, if you want more build goodness or adventure reports from me... check out my van build thread... big...

Eagle eye!
