    Newbie. What would you add to my truck?

    This what I recommend to friends, larger off-road tires, usually 2 sizes larger than stock so you don't need a lift or re gearing, heavy duty skid plate, rock sliders, shovel, tow strap. In your case you might want to put a clear wrap on the sides of the truck to protect the paint.

    Paid for last month, title in hand, and then...it's gone

    I wish they would make the app work with Android Auto, then I could just run it from my phone onto my vehicles display instead of my tablet.

    Garmin Overlander

    At the 2019 Overland Expo where I think Garmin introduced the Overlander product, the people in the Garmin booth knew nothing about how their GPS's worked, especially the Overlander. Every question I asked, the representative didn't even know what I was talking about 80% of the time, it was...

    Garmin Overlander

    I agree, I want to get an inReach, because I got rid of my spot, but then the 700i came out and peaked my interest, but I am hesitant to buy another Garmin GPS . Garmin stopped making quality GPS's a long time ago, the 276C (not the 276CX) was the last great Garmin GPS that worked flawlessly...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    Wont be slowing me down unless gas get's around 6 to 7 dollars. I will just eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead of steaks. Life is too short to just stay home and do nothing. Equip and explore. Also, you don't need 95% of the overlanding do dads to actually camp and explore, they are...

    Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton trip planning

    For wildlife viewing Lamar Valley and Hayden Valley are your best bets. Bring a good tripod with spotting scope, good 12X50 binoculars and 400mm or 600mm lens. 16 Wolves

    Any Exped Megamat Max Owners?

    I have had my megamat since about a year after they were first introduced, still use it and have had no leaks. I got my wife one a few year later and no leaks in that one either.

    Gazelle Tents

    I have watched just about every YT video on gazzel tents, no one shows the corner of the tent where the floor attaches. I would like to see one in person.

    Gazelle Tents

    My concerns are from what I have seen on You Tube or read in forums, things like, The floor is removable because it easily gets holes in it, The corners where the floor attaches are not velcro'ed shut, thus snakes \ insects could get inside the tent. Attachment points on the corners where the...

    Is camping a viable alterantive to hotels when traveling?

    When we take long "camping \ off-roading vacations" we divide up our stays between boondocking and staying at KOA cabins to do laundry and real showers. For instance when we went to Colorado, we stayed in a cabin at the Ouray KOA and we also camped a few nights along the Alpine loop. We camped...
