    Knoxville Area Meet and Greet???

    To be honest, RL has been chaotic this year... I am presently in no condition to try to plan anything between now and the end of the year... Just got my 80 y/o father out of the hospital and have to look after him while he recovers (he is doing well), and hunting season is on us... If I heard...

    Knoxville Area Meet and Greet???

    Hello Knox area members. I seem to recall prior to covid there was a regular Meet and Greet gathering in the Knoxville area. Am I remembering wrong? (I admittedly COULD be remembering the wrong group here holding regular meet and greet gatherings)... Is there one that is just not well...

    Nemo Tunnel

    Be aware... there has been a post over several East Tennessee off road groups recently that the railroad is considering shutting down Nemo Tunnel. Several groups and even members of the Wartburg city government are trying to talk the railroad into not shutting the tunnel down, but the railroad...

    Chattanooga, TN Folks

    Hello from a neighbor to the north. I used to live in Chattanooga myself a number of years back. Now I am just a few blocks off 27 but an hour and a half north of you. Sorry I did not respond sooner, I have been inactive for a while. Perhaps when fuel prices come back down a li'l we might get to...

    Overlanding with Anxiety

    Honestly, I would start with teaching her wilderness survival. Not force it down her throat, but get her started learning... This can be done in the "safety" of the back yard. Knowing she can handle things will help to alleviate her fears as she learns that the things she feared can be easily...

    Who else brings a grill?-1 cooking device to rule them all!

    in various groups I have been in, I have been a camp cook for over 30 years now (boyscout style cooking in the 80s, and cooking for encampments of anywhere from 4 to 50 people since... the choice of menu depends on how much gear I can carry, the environment being camped in, and general...

    Who else brings a grill?-1 cooking device to rule them all!

    when used properly (and with the right accessories), the discotta (scottle) can be very versatile. it can serve as a frying pan/skillet, a wok, an oven, a griddle... it can even be used like a grill but IMO is not as good at such as a proper grill, or even a cast iron grill pan. I can not think...

    I have a charcoal smokey joe I seldom use anymore, a couple coleman propane stoves I use frequently, a cooking grate I use frequently, and plans to incorporate one of the coleman/camp chef propane oven/stoves (which is large, but possibly the ultimate in camp kitchen convenience) into my next...

    My DIY camp commode

    good lookin litter bucket cover I have long liked that basic design as it is easy to build, and can easily work with a pit latrine or a kitty litter bucket. I built a similar one for a group I used to go camping with. we also had an "outhouse" complete with "quarter moon" decoration on the door...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    since this thread seems to be getting popular again, I shall toss in my 2 not so shiny, old, copper coins. The politics has nothing to do with whether or not elitism is a part of overlnding. While I agree with a number of the comments I saw, overlanding has all types with the full political...

    President CB's, what do you think.

    Presidents are an excellent professional grade CB. Personally I am partial to Cobras, but Uniden, Cobra, President, and Galaxy are all top notch radios, it is a matter of selecting which one fits your installation space and budget, as well as which bells and whistles you might wish to have. IMO...

    hey Jim, this thread appears to have been accidentally tagged south east, I suspect that is meant to be south west. I got excited that one was listed in the south east only to discover it is a bit out of my way :)
