    What is your favorite overland/camp stove?

    That is funny. I have lived in Colorado for over 50 years, many above 9000 ft. We heated a home with propane and used propane stoves. I have camped at 11,000ft and had no big issues with propane. Yes, the flame is a bit weaker due to less oxygen but on most grills there is a simple...

    Diesel heater while traveling?

    Going down the road with the heater running can be problematic. Getting it to vent correctly is a crap shoot. Personally, I would not try it.

    What is a good external ham antenna for BaoFeng handeld?

    There are losses with any coax cable. The better the quality and match, the less the loss. Even with the loss, the antenna gain will more than make up for it. I would run RG316 coax. The antenna above looks good. Ideally, mount it to a good grounded bracket , ideally mount it in the...

    Share how it all started - Homage to the beginnings - Your story is welcome here!

    My first overland experience was the summer of 1952, 69 years ago. I was 6 weeks old and my parents struck out from Texas in a Woody wagon and went all the way through Colorado and up to the Tetons and Yellowstone. I have a pix somewhere of me on that trip. I guess it has always been in my blood.

    Specialty coffee setups (ultra coffee snobbery)

    I do it the old school way. I have a enameled coffee percolator pot that goes on the stove. I throw a couple of eggs in to cook while the coffee perks. My only fancy thing is using Boyer's Hazelnut coffee, Nice and strong.

    What do you use as a battery tender when parked for long periods?

    While a trickle charger is nice especially in subzero temps. I go out and start it up every few weeks and let it warm up and get the oil circulating.

    Nice idea but this only goes to a 27" diameter tire.

    Trailer Suggestions to Start With

    While I am a seasoned fabricator, I could have done everything with a 120v HF welder and a cut off wheel. old_man's Offroad Teardrop Trailer Build Thread | OVERLAND BOUND COMMUNITY

    Trailer Suggestions to Start With

    Congrats on starting your build. I recommend at least a 2k axle. Check what bolt pattern it is. Small tires are not feasible for a true offroad trailer. Try and get one that matches your vehicle to allow you to share a spare.

    Call me crazy....A new indoor heater concept

    Overlanding with Diabetes

    I use the Freestyle Libre as well. Horrible accuracy. Half the sensors had to be replaced.
