    Snake Shot: Do you use it for your trail/camp gun when overlanding?

    Not a snake fan and I've had many close encounters with them in camp but I've never needed to kill one. Statistically you have a better chance of being struck by lightning that dying from a snake bite. If you're still worried maybe consider a snake awareness, first aid and handling course as an...

    Medical extraction insurance recommendations

    I'd say it depends where you're going, especially international overlanding and the situation. If you're in the middle of the Central Kalahari (Botswana) at Bape camp, the nearest reserve gate (with some form of comms) is 7h away. The nearest hospital is Scottish Livingston in Molepolole, at...

    Roll-call for the UAE

    Hi Chris, I'll be sending out a DM to all you guys as I think a lot of folks don't necessarily check the forums that often. I'd like to see if anyone's interested in a meetup and/or just a general catch-up on the region.

    Do You Carry Spare Parts?

    For remote (especially international) overlanding I would reccomend carrying some basic spare parts. I also carry the same stuff as Mike but on remote trips I'll have some basic spares as well; fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, belts and hoses (and an extra spare tyre). Some fixes are really...

    External Fuel Tanks

    I have an internal long range tank 45l (12gal) giving me a total of 115l (30gal) diesel. Worst case I thus have a 920 km (570 mi) range. I prefer long range fuel tanks as the weight sits low on the vehicle and you don't have to deal with dirty, smelly fuel cans. Downside is cost and sometimes...

    What is the one spice

    This very local (and you'll find it some places in Aus) but I can not go without "Braai spice"! We braai (BBQ) a lot (lamb chops, boere wors (spicey sausage), steak, sosaties (kebabs) etc). Braai spice goes on everything! The recipe; 1 tot salt (I like to use high-quality coarse salt and...

    which is your favorite method of going to the restroom when over landing?

    We use a porta-potty . You can use the shovel (away from camp, bury it deep, burn the paper) but in lots of our wild camps you do stand a very real chance of getting eaten, hence the porta-potty... PS. Camp bathrooms aren't necessarily safe either :wink:
