  • 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.

    2020 Goals? What do you wish to Accomplish in 2020?

    Camp, fish and dive as much as possible. Get as many people as possible involved in camping and fishing and enjoying the outdoors, as well as Overland Bound. Clean up the trails, streams and lakes I frequent. Do some work on the X, as funding allows

    What is the one spice

    Yeah, I don't think salt and pepper should count ... Those are automatic for. I pretended it read, "What is one spice, other than salt and pepper?"

    Iceland Overlanding / Expeditions - Shared Experience

    I don't know when, but yes, I will definitely be returning again ... and again, and again, and again. I will definitely reach out the next time we go. We did all the tourist stuff the first time. We did stuff that was off the beaten track the second time around. From here on out, it will be wild...

    New to Overlanding, Ham Ready!

    Have you done the practice test at QRZ.com (Callsign Database by QRZ Ham Radio) ... You will find them under the Resources tab. The questions and answers are the same ones that will be on the test, but they answers may be in a different order on the actual test. You can take the QRZ practice...

    Camp Tents

    I am usually set up for a week or so when I go camping, so I use a Kodiak Canvas cabin tent. It's heavy, weighing about 110 pounds for the tent, poles and the stakes, but it is amazing. It is 12x9 inside the tent, with an optional 8x8 room on the front if I put the sides on the awning. Keeps...

    HAM radio and a firearm ... I know it's two, but both are essential, in my mind

    Dream Overland Trip

    My favorite Expedition Overland episodes! I used to work overnights at a part-time job and I was the only one in the office at night. I would binge watch Expedition Overland when things were slow.

    Iceland Overlanding / Expeditions - Shared Experience

    Wow! I would love to do those kinds of expeditions in Iceland. My wife and I were there in 2017 and 2019, for about two weeks each time. We have driven the Ring Road and the Western Ring Road, and many parts in between, some F-roads. We rented a small 4WD SUV both times, nothing I would be...

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    Growth in Northwest Arkansas is insane ... as such, there are a lot of animals being displaced as previously undeveloped areas are now being developed. Fifteen years ago, my first job out of college was for a small weekly newspaper. There was an accident involving a deer practically every day. I...

    Horror Stories and getting in over your head on the Trail.

    What part of Greece? I spent two weeks there on my honeymoon in 2007. We spent nine days on the mainland and another five days driving all over the island of Crete. It is such an amazing place ... That being said, their roads and the way the locals drive is insane! I really don't know why they...

    A "shortcut" from Egilsstadir to Vopnafjordur I found when we were heading to Arctic Henge (panoramic below) in Raufarhofn, Iceland.

    Recovery Board Color: What are your preferred Color Choices?

    I like this idea ... I'd hate to leave something that expensive out there.

    Gasoline Calculations

    I've yet to do anything that takes me more than 25 or so miles from a gas station, but this year, I am planning some longer trips/stays in the woods. I've actually been looking at how many Rotopax I need and how big they should be.

    Getting started ?

    Geocaching is another really cool thing to draw people outdoors ... many years ago, in another lifetime, I was a reporter at a newspaper and had to come up with a Sunday feature story (something I normally did not write ... I was primarily a news reporter), so I wrote about a small city in my...

    Concept

    I like the idea of a coin with your memberf number on it ... I think it would be yet another really cool way to make connections with other OB members ... Nice drawing, by the way!

    propane tanks

    I was just thinking yesterday about how best to strap my tank in the back of my Xterra ... I love the milk crate idea.
