  • 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.

    Anyone used this wireless radio programmer for Baofeng handhelds?

    Just wondering if anyone has real world experience with this. I'm thinking this would be handy in the field when you meet up with others and haven't already setup your handhelds to be on common settings.

    Jump starter for 6.5L diesel?

    Just wondering if anyone has real world experience using a jump starting device with enough juice to turn over a 6.5L GM diesel. Let's just say....theoretically... that I were to leave a dome light on for 3 days.

    What is the Quintessential Camp Food?

    I thought of that after I posted and was hoping that the website would notify you that I had replied by the fact that I had hit the reply button. Good to know that I need to quote, thanks. And thanks for the recipe. I just picked up some keto ancient grains flour today and am looking for things...

    Mind sharing your recipe for the 4 ingredient pancakes? I see the ingredients, just wondering about ratios. Thanks!

    How likely is satellite communication in the upcoming iPhone 13?

    Right. I'm thinking that the rumors of having satellite comms may be correct, and the chipset wrong. Considering how Apple likes to do things I can see an Apple commercial with someone Facetiming with Grandma from their hike in the wilds of the Olympic Peninsula. This would be in line with...

    How likely is satellite communication in the upcoming iPhone 13?

    Yeah, I intend to agree with most of that. If it does happen though I think it'd be more likely that Apple would have chosen Starlink.

    Make and Model specific Categories in Rigs Forum

    Yeah, that makes sense. The other thing I see though is that a lot of the people on the vehicle specific sites have no idea what overlanding is. They may be into offroading or camping or general hobbyist stuff, but have no real input or care about overland related things. I guess I could make...

    Looking for a 4G to WiFi hotspot

    Yeah, I know. Hasn't stopped me from running one in my Hummer for the past couple of years without problems. I power it from my Goal Zero's USB ports. I display OBD-II data on an old iPhone RAM mounted on my dash and record all of the OBD-II data to a Postgres database on the Pi. Works for me...

    Looking for a 4G to WiFi hotspot

    Have you looked for any low powered wifi router that supports both 2.4 and 5Ghz? What I'm thinking is that you could setup a network bridge so that this dual band router would join your Jeep's wifi and expose an access point to your OpenSpot so that it would go: OpenSpot ---- 2.4Ghz ---->...

    How likely is satellite communication in the upcoming iPhone 13?

    Rumors on the interwebs are beginning to circulate that the iPhone 13 will support Globalstar satellite communication. How likely would this be without some kind of external antenna? https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/apple-iphone-13-reportedly-feature-satellite-connectivity/

    Make and Model specific Categories in Rigs Forum

    I really like this idea. I wonder if it would be better suited to a Wiki than a forum, though. I like the OB Forums, but they are not the best way to lay out documentation. I think what you've proposed is more of a documentation project and less of a conversation.

    Looking for good, bulk instant coffee

    They're shelf stable for so long because they contain this menagerie of chemical additives. "Water, Milk Protein Concentrate†, Calcium Caseinate†, Contains less than 1% of High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Natural and Artificial flavors, Inulin, Cellulose Gel and Cellulose Gum, Salt, Sucralose...

    Looking for good, bulk instant coffee

    Sweet! I am familiar with BRCC's ground coffee, but didn't know they did instant. Except that this has exactly the same problem as the Starbucks Via: too much single serving trash.

    Looking for good, bulk instant coffee

    Well, I swear I've searched all over the interwebs, but this is exactly what I have been trying to find. Thanks!

    Let them eat SPAM!

    Last summer my wife and I brought along some spam on a backpacking trip and roasted chunks of it on sticks over our campfire. Crazy delicious!

    Looking for good, bulk instant coffee

    While overlanding and backpacking I usually just take Starbucks Via instant coffee. Boil water, dump single serving into cup, done. I like the simplicity of it, but not all the trash it produces. I'm looking for an instant coffee that comes in a larger container. Due to my coffee snobbery I...

    Greater Seattle area virtual campfire

    Anyone here familiar with the Gallagher Head Lake area (north of Roslyn, WA)? I took my Hummer there many years ago with some other owners. Thinking about towing my M1101 up there for an overland base camp and then doing mtn biking and hiking on day trips from there sometime this summer.
