  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week 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.

    Camp music? Turn that up a few!!

    As others have posted, when driving , its music time. I listen to a variety of types,....no rap, limited country. But when i reach camp, i usually shut it off for the duration. I think it depends on the group you are with, which determines if music is played.

    Leveling your Rig

    If you have traction boards, they make it easier to level your vehicle. Others bring 2x4 lumbar, and stack them under the low spot. Whatever works, and depending on what you have for room, as leveling blocks can also be good, as the post above has mentioned.

    Looking for a way to heat up the tent with out propane, or electricity

    A quality tent will keep you 15-20 degrees warmer than the outside ambient temperature. This is most likely a 4 season tent(expedition desighn). As others have stated, a foam bed-layer will help a lot, more so than a air mattress. I have seen a acquaintance with a quality sleeping bag...

    You're stuck. What now?

    Growing up, and getting the truck stuck was always a possibility with our family. This was before recovery straps, CB radio(Limited to OTR truckers/licenses), or other now common recovery methods. If you were high tech, you had a winch, for the rest of us.....A logging chain, and a shovel and...

    Overland Bound Emblems!

    It depends on where you are. Figure ground package zones....aka UPS. All the overnight and USPS use a similar zone method of delivery. Micheal/Corrie live in California, so that would be where your OB kit would be coming from. Being in Alabama...say about 5 days from when it hits the PO...

    Military Decal?

    Now that's a mighty good alternative. It all falls on those who want one, and they know the consequences if they FUDGE IT, just to get that decal. Shame can be a great equalizer as far as peer pressure is concerned. The embarrassment of being found out, will stop all but the most narcissist...

    Yes, all the photos i have posted are cell phone shots. Samsung Galaxy Amp prime. Not a top of the line Android phone. Cell camera photo lens have come a long way. They are much better than the digital cameras of just 12 years ago. Pixel counts are so much better now. You no longer need a...

    Military Decal?

    Valid points, and the 'walter mitties' is what I was trying to get around. My thought was that the sensitive info could be covered (numbers/photo etc) and just show that they had some type of military tie-in. I understand the logistical problem of a very small limited run item, and the...
