    What is your go too overlanding photography kit/setup? What is in your Camera bag?

    I tried them all at Mike's Camera. The Canon felt the best. I like being able to get a full purchase on the grip. I am, however, very happy with my camera. It is far better than I am and gives me a chance to improve. I really need to take a class soon. I'm as good as I am getting on my own.

    My Ranger Build

    My wife is pushing hard for this. I'm trying to get the truck ready.

    My Ranger Build

    I am getting the 90 degree option too. Wife needs a step. She's 5'2'' and is already annoyed getting in and out. Wait until I jump to 33'' tires... I'd have bought local, but no one is making them for the Ranger here. Of course, after I bought mine, a dude is running a group buy with RRW on...

    My Ranger Build

    Do you have the White Knuckle Sliders? I hear good things. A guy local to here has a set and they seem to do great... The skids are killer. If you are on Ranger5G, reach out to Stage 3 (Frank specifically) and he will hook you up on the ARB sliders. They are in stock. I can't say enough good...

    My Ranger Build

    I've been really happy and impressed with what the Ranger has been able to do. I'm not 'hardcore' so it's been great. I should have the bed mounts next week, then I will mount and show the tent. I'm excited.

    RTT vs Ground

    Well... I figured I would tie this thread off (for me) as the wife and local marketing made my decision. We bought a RTT. We went camping and it was <30 degrees overnight. I need a new sleeping back, because my zipper broke. Wife decided for us that she wanted a RTT with real bedding inside...

    My Ranger Build

    Well... as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions... I told myself a few lies when I bought this truck and started my build. The biggest lie: It has moved much, much quicker than I anticipated. My wife has enjoyed trail days more than I expected and we had a *ridiculously*...

    RTT vs Ground

    It’s funny, because this thread has made me think that now too. Haha. Also, my wife told me we were getting one. Best not to argue with the boss. The back and forth has really helped me think it through. It’s easy to get wrapped up in your own head and forget opposing ideas. This thread made me...

    RTT vs Ground

    A big factor for us, as we've discussed it, is that we can keep all the bedding/pillows in the tent so we don't have to try and find storage in the truck. I just put a tonneau cover on the truck, but the last time (security reasons) a lot of the crap was inside. (sleeping bags, pillows...

    The wife and I went out and explored Peru Creek today. The Aspens were changing and it was beautiful. Link to Album

    RTT vs Ground

    Definitely something to consider. I'm still kinda young, but I still don't want to fall out of a RTT in the middle of the night. And my wife has to pee a LOT, so that's a consideration. Thanks! I will have to research pop up mounts. I have only seen custom mounts to this point. But I...

    RTT vs Ground

    If I put a RTT on, then the rack I will use is an 8" tall rack. This would put the awning at a very low height. There are extender brackets, but I haven't researched that yet. If I go with the awning and a ground tent, I will get the 18" rack, which would be in line with my roof. The trick...

    RTT vs Ground

    This camping option has some family planning involved too. Now there are 2, eventually 3. I’ve read threads until I’m blue in the face. I’m hoping to get some engagement with my specific use case so I can ask questions as they come up, banter back and forth during the discussion. Thank you...

    RTT vs Ground

    I am really struggling with deciding the route of my truck. I like to overthink everything and then overthink it some more. Eventually causing decision anxiety. There are 2 options for my truck. Bed rack with a RTT or Bed rack with an awning and ground tent. Let me explain why I can't...

    One of the other guys will have to add you, as I don't know how... What's your telegram name?

    Everyone has covered it pretty well, I will just drop this little nugget... If you use INSTAGRAM15 as a discount code on Midland, you'll save 15%. I have the MXT275 and I love it. We had great reception on our run yesterday. I would stray away from handhelds. The 2 guys yesterday were quiet...

    Welcome @Unregistered Hypercam 2! The Ranger is really capable. Napolito and I both have the FX4 and it's great. Have you joined the Telegram group? That's generally where we start planning trips.
