  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Roof racks for photographers

    I have a Gobi Stealth and, although I have been on it to load things for a trip - never standing - without any issues, I don't know that I would feel comfortable standing on it.

    Trail Buster Breakfast Burrito, A Burrito Fit For Conquistadors!

    My favorite breakfast, whether on the trail or on the couch. Looking at your pics makes me hungry and I just got home from dinner. Those veggies look amazing! ... The breakfast burrito may just be the perfect meal (not just any burrito, but a breakfast burrito, that is).

    Iceland Overlanding / Expeditions - Shared Experience

    I believe it. After spending four weeks in Iceland, during the past two years, perhaps the best thing I can say about Iceland (and there are many great things in and about Iceland) is that Icelanders are the most generous and genuine people you will ever meet, even to complete strangers!

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    I am seriously considering one of these. I'm headed to MOORE next weekend and am doing the trail run on Sunday morning, so I just bought the Viair 450P, but I may end up buying a Powertank in the near future. I have not seen one in action in person and I need to research where I can refill one...

    Pros and cons

    I have a Gobi Stealth on my Xterra and love it. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but I'd vote for the Gobi.

    3 week summer trip - tent help

    I have a Kodiak Cabin canvas tent. It is rated as a 3-season tent, but I've had it in temps as low as 28-degrees and had to turn the heater off halfway through the night because it was so hot inside the tent. It once rained for 28 hours straight and the tent never leaked. It's a 12x9 tent, with...

    Anyone into SCUBA or snorkeling?

    I love diving ... breathing underwater and floating weightless is the most amazing feeling. Advanced Open Water and Rescue Cert. My dream is to get my cave card.

    Ham radio?

    How do you like APRS on the 2m and a tablet? I am trying to decide between the Yaesu FTM=400xdr and the Icom 7100 ... If I go for the Icom, I will probably do what you did because APRS is something I'm really interested in. Thanks

    When an "OG" Overland Bound Member Leaves a Note on Your Rig

    Just one of the reasons I like OB and the people involved in this community so much! What an insanely COOL thing to do @SLO Rob

    GMRS

    I have my HAM license, but I'm going on a trail run and they are using GMRS. My nephew and I also are starting to go on trail runs together, as well. The great thing about the handheld radios is if you need to get out and spot someone.

    Picked up my 2020 Defender... Sort of

    I'm not normally into Lego sets, but it's likely it will be the only Defender I will ever own.

    That's Not a Knife...This is a Knife.

    I have to many to list or show ... some I probably couldn't readily put my hands on because they're packed away in a box or drawer somewhere, but I always have one on me and, generally (unless I'm headed to work) one in my self-defense bag that goes with me everywhere ... I always carry my...

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    I've been watching this thread and doing research, based upon the suggestions offered ... I'm opting for the Viair 45043 (450-P). It seems no one here has mixed emotions about Viair products. ARBs are nice, but pricey.
