  • 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.

    What type of winch is everyone using?

    A 17,500 pound Smittybilt X20 GEN 2with cable rope in a ARB bull bar in a 2003 Silverado 2500HD 4x4 diesel extra cab, so this vehicle has some weight to it. Hence the big winch. I have a High lift jack, with chain adapter tool & base-plate, and a 4000 lb. ''come-along', a winch/tow chain for...

    Vegas?!

    Yes indeed. finally got the map up, and there sure are a lot of OB members here. My member banner was not displayed, so map access was restricted. Administration was able to fix that little problem. EDIT: I now see that their are many members who live in the Vegas area, but have noticed that...

    Searching for Rock Art in the Southwest

    In Southern Nevada there are places where you can find it. Some more inaccessible than others. Out near Eldorado valley, towards Searchlight, there is some. Some more out near Gold Butte, but they closed a part of the road to discourage taggers.....so now it's a walk to get there. Another is...

    ATV's and Overlanding ....

    I have seen a lot of the BMW bike types out in and near Death Valley. It seems to be a mandatory area to explore. On the subject of UTV riders. that is more base camping from a set position, and not really over-landing, as your in a static place.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    It all depends on who you are with, as others have stated. Exploring old mines, a revolver and snake shot might be a good idea. Human predators, maybe a open carry pistol or concealed depending on state law. Vehicle and ATV can be legal one way, and illegal the other, just by switching rides...

    Old mines, ghost towns, etc......

    Those are some awesome pictures, i too love old rail beds and the tale they tell. It makes you really think about where,why they were built. If i remember right....don't quote me, the high point of trackage laid down was over a million miles, maybe 2?, and in the era of WW I at its height...

    NEVADA – Spring Mountain NRA Seeks Public Input on Recreation Use in Lovell Canyon

    I never heard about this until after the fact. It is now a done deal, and access and especially use, has been curtailed. Rode some trails in it just 3 years ago on a ATV.

    REI and Overlanding?

    I didn't know about the Boca Park location( Charleston/Ft Apache-correct?), just the Henderson one. I haven't been in it since last year checking on a water purifier.

    OUTNUMBERED 500 to 1

    We in Southern Nevada saw this happen in the Gold Butte area. Ranchers, OHV groups, land owners, mine operators and a multitude of others, were out petitioned by the Sierra Club types, because they were a National organization and those who live in the area were unable to compete. The BLM gave...

    Leave the trails better than you found them

    So sad, but unfortunately true. Pack it in, pack it out is such an easy concept. I mean i grew up in the 60's, where that public service adds with the Indian Warrior gazing at the trash left in the outdoors. I always thought they were straight to the point, and i am one to at least make the...

    Bronco Takes Moab

    My parents loved their Eddie Bauer edition. Used it a couple of years as a hunting rig, and as a sheltered sleeping mat. They only sold it because it started having small issues. It had the right balance of size and function, with that full size cab area. The new Tahoe has become a street...

    An Aussie's discovery of USA Overlanding

    That picture with the Mountain Goat....awesome. I take it that a camera timer was involved? And where were you? They are so shy, and bail at the slightest provocation.

    I was down in and around Tucson there working in the early summer. My work took me up the mountain daily. Was surprised of see the black bear/cub road signs on the way near the ski lodge.

    US West Official* OB Las Vegas Thread!

    How is this coming along? Have done some recovery, but nothing as a official school class.

    Bottom line WATER..first and foremost. Then comes at minimum a way to be extracted. That would be a recovery strap, and 2 bow shackles. The new 'soft shackles are nice. This allows the other guy to tug you out. A shovel (small/med) to help get yourself out if possible. There is strength in...

    Overlanding with Animals (Pets or Other..?)

    Kind of upside down isn't it. The inmates running the asylum and all that. Pets do not vote, therefore politicians have no care.

    I watched that UK airport customs TV show, and yes they were defiantly anal about quarantine and the paperwork notwithstanding....whew
