    Hot Plate VS induction cooktop

    I use one of these. Bought one used for $50 on marketplace. Heats up my 8 or 10" cast iron fairly quick. I wrap it with a microfiber towel for safety.

    Overlanding in Badlans Nat Park?

    I've always wanted to visit. It's on the bucket list. Would love to find a tyrannasaur tooth...

    Sedona AZ trip

    Thanks for that information. I made a list of lesser known trails as well. Worst case scenario, I can ask the visitors center or Rangers. Yeah, usually I go in the winter, when there's less people. But I wanted to do a trip before summer rolls in. I stay home when it's warm out until things...

    Sedona AZ trip

    Doing a quick 4 day trip to sedona in a few days. My mom and her BF decided they want to go. They have a rubicon with a 22' trailer, but stock wheels and tires, so limited on where they can go and camp. I'm camping on the trails. This will be exciting! I've been there many times before, but...

    Solo Winter Camp

    I love solo camping, and I love winter! My favorite combination. Normally I prefer to camp solo (just with my dogs), but my friends usually try planning trips together. My dogs and their dogs do not mix well, so it's a pain to babysit which dogs are out at what time etc. When solo, I just keep...

    Service Dogs

    I have dogs, but not a service dog. My wife and I talked about the possibility when I had a heart pump (LVAD) as the heart pressure and medication caused me to black out time to time. I think a service dog would be smart to have if you had a similar issue and your dog could go out and retrieve...

    Kids Education vs Overlanding

    I started camping in the early 80s. As soon as I was born pretty much. My parents love camping and took us no matter our age. At first it was my dad's dodge van. 2wd and we just packed it full of camp stuff. Then my mom got a VW Vanagon. Thing was cool, fairly spacious and had an internal...

    Cargo straps? Who is using what?

    For inside my cargo, I use bungee cords or tie down straps for the battery (ecoflow) and fridge (alpicool). These held my battery, fridge, and bottlejack in place when I rolled over in Moab. For cargo on roofrack, I use larger straps. Also use these for random tools, like shovel and tow rope...

    Every Couple Years I Have to Learn

    Why i always keep my tools in my jeep. You never know what could happen. Air compressor, deflator. Impact wrenches, sockets and bits. Tire repair kit. Plenty of ratchet straps, bungee cords, and paracord.

    Best Overland Rig for a Beginner?

    One you can afford and repair on the trail. Anything with 4x4 and high clearance will do. Then it'll be storage space and aftermarket support. I think toyota tacoma/4runner is the most popular choice. Jeep wrangler would be better if you offroad as well. Toyota is more reliable on the road, and...

    OB Replacement Emblems

    Oh I'd love another one too. Had one for my 2016 JKUR, but haven't got one for my current jeep.

    Three Years, 60,000 miles, Fifteen States and a lot of fun.

    I live vicariously through you! One day I'll have the time and money to do this. Ironically, I didn't work for almost 2 years after my surgery, but was tied to my hospital for multiple visits a month. That was the most vacation I've ever had from working.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Installed new hood shocks, love them! Transfercase oil change. 91k miles and the oil was still reddish, no metal on the drain plug either. Rear brake pads, it was a pain to remove the caliper and the 2 pins were very very dirty and dry. Think it was seizing and resulting in lower MPG. Did a...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Trying to figure out why my ABS is causing a code. Ever since snow wheeling it came on. Took off the wheels and inspected, see no sort of issue. Sprayed brake cleaner in case it's dirty. I can tell acceleration is in limp mode, drives fine on the highway, but feels weak when on the throttle.

    Overland "Types?"

    So many here in socal. Flat brimmed caps, face/neck tattoos. Will drive by you at 50 mph while you're airing down/up. Throw beer cans on the trail. They'll also go on the badge of honor trails, holding up the line for everyone else, and stacks tons of rocks to get over obstacles when...

    US West Big Bear - Trail Explore

    Hit me up on messenger, I come here rarely, a few times a month. The last storm was amazing!!! Had so much fun on the trails, I was the only one out here pretty much.
