    Little Red Campfire?

    Thanks, I'll look into it.

    GPS - Wearables/Handhelds

    Probably. Didn't even know there was a paid version. Does it have any other features that the free one doesn't, besides not having ads? I haven't played with it enough to decide if I want the paid version.

    Nature Photos

    From today's excursion... The Adventure Is Necessary patch is perfect for my camera bag.

    GPS - Wearables/Handhelds

    I tried Backcountry Navigator today, along with CalTopo. Didn't really work out the way I wanted, but it was a last minute discovery and I didn't have time to get very familiar with them. I'll have to spend a bit more time on them to see how they work. Regardless, I'm not thrilled with the...

    What is your next mechanical upgrade or repair?

    Rear diff breather tube extension. Was going to do it today, but went exploring instead. Looks like next weekend, now.

    Recruitment cards

    Daniel, thanks for posting those links. Grizzly, thanks for posing the question in the first place. Didn't even know these were a thing until I saw this thread.

    Recruiting cards?

    These are a great idea, I'll be ordering some on my next trip through the store (there's some other stuff I want in there, too, haha).

    Synthetic winch cable vs Steel

    Thanks! I'll read those during the week. Looks like good info.

    Morale Patch Collecting

    This is all I've got at the moment, besides my OB member number patch. I'm saving that for a jacket or something. I have a lot of iron-on and sew-on patches that I've had since I was a kid that I've been thinking about sewing velcro onto. Some of my Dad's Air Force patches, patches from...

    Synthetic winch cable vs Steel

    That was something else I had considered: getting both and allowing weather and intended terrain to dictate which gets loaded up.

    Creating Overland Routes in Google Earth

    This is the first OB video I stumbled across a month or two back. Checking out other OB videos is what introduced me to this community. So thanks are due on two fronts: 1) for posting a very useful how-to, and 2) for providing the bridge that brought me here.

    Synthetic winch cable vs Steel

    I've never had a winch before, but I'll be getting one soon-ish (within the year, hopefully), so I'm interested in this discussion as well. I'm still undecided, but I've been reading up on the pros and cons of both, and had been leaning more toward steel. I'm not crazy about the ends whipping...

    Geocaching

    Yeah, I've seen a couple of people here with that in their signatures. I didn't even know that was a thing before joining OB.

    Geocaching

    The Wifey and I geocached for a while, but just gradually got away from it somehow. We recently decided to start doing it again. We're going out tomorrow, in fact.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Like many of you, I also carry nearly everywhere I go. Where I'm going and what time of year it is will influence my options, but at the very least I'll always have a handgun for defensive purposes. I also like to bring along one or more of the .22s just to plink with if I find myself...

    What is your rigs name

    Quicksilver is actually my rig's name, I just borrow it for the forums.

    What is your rigs name

    That is a great name. Man Of La Mancha is my favorite play.

    Little Red Campfire?

    There's a little spot in the back of the Xterra, between the wheel well and the back as it curves around to the lift gate, that a propane tank fits perfectly in. Almost like it was designed with that in mind. Don't know if it was, but it sits in such a way that it won't interfere with my load...

    Little Red Campfire?

    Has anyone tried the Little Red Campfire? We are considering this as an alternative during campfire bans in areas where propane fires are still permitted. Thoughts?

    OB Pacific Northwest Trail Run - 2017 Edition

    I'm also interested. Just have to get a time off request approved at work. I should know for sure on Monday or Tuesday.
