    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Correct. And zero crimes as well. All people here are very friendly and very helpful. If they see you stopped in the middle of the desert you will get lots to ask if you need any help from nowhere.

    Hi. I have the Garmin inReach Explorer®+ Satellite Communicator with Maps and Sensors. It connects to the iPhone but works also very well standalone.

    Anchors to secure drawer?

    Hi. There are many ways to secure them. I instead removed the bolts from the tie down rings, found longer ones and secured a board by fixing it directly to the car using the same bolt location. Then I screwed the drawer directly on the fixed board. I am very happy with this solution.
