    Overlanding with Physical Limitations

    I had 2 open heart surgeries within a year (recent), and my mobility was lessened, and because my sternum was cracked open twice, it will never be the same again. Im not allowed to lift more than 25 lbs for 6 months, and I've talked to other transplant recipients and they said it takes forever...

    Non Lethal self protection

    On an overland trip, my dogs will always be with me. I carry a pocket knife on me daily. Also have a spear around my camp, but not sure if it's non-lethal. It's extremely sharp and could easily hit an artery.

    What’s the best way to stay warm in my rooftop tent?

    Made a rookie mistake and didn't camp with proper gear. Summer tent and summer bag, in Utah at -14°f. Barely slept and fingers weren't moving. Now I have a much better bag, slightly better tent, insulated underwear, warm gloves, wool socks, and a heated blanket. It draws about 50 - 75 watts...

    best ceramic coating for pin stripes

    Ceramic probably won't help against pin striping. I've thought about wrapping, but seen ones that have been on trails and it tears it. The best thing I've seen for protection against Bush and branches is those magnetic armor you slap on the panels. Downside is they don't make them for all...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Yes, but also melee weapons. I just like to haha. Been a sushi chef for 23 years and love sharpening blades. That spear could shave your face, or remove it completely. Took a while to sharpen. Profiled with 1000 grit, and polished at 4000 to 8000 grit. It's mirror polished haha.

    Injuries and Recovery.

    Luckily I never injured myself on a trip. But prepared for it, as much as I can anyways. Not sure how I would deal with a major event like bones sticking out of skin or tourniquets. Recently had surgery and that took me out of overlanding for months. I'm wheeling now, but haven't camped in...

    Questions on overlanding with a pup

    My 2 dogs come with me on every trip. They're wearing a harness that's attached to rollcage, so they don't go anywhere in the event of an accident. Once at the destination, they're on 20' cables. Sadly they're not allowed to roam, as they have high hunting drive and will be gone for half the day.

    Powering Electric Cooler- Questions

    I have an alpicool 35qt. It's an awesome fridge. I have running on my ecoflow delta 2, which is 1024 wh, with a 220 watt solar panel. Your 300 watt battery will need to be charged often, and 100 watt of panel will be slow. I also bring a 500 watt jackery as backup. I plug my fridge into the...

    Best small propane firepit?

    Eventually I'll get a mount and put a 5lb tank on my rack. At Walmart, they sell two 1lb propane for 8 bucks, so I got a bunch and keep em in my basement. I use about half a bottle to full 1lb bottle for 2 nights of camping. I bring at least 3 bottles, in a Plano case on my roofrack with my...

    Best small propane firepit?

    Ah that's cool. I don't know why, I prefer the 1 lb bottles. My stove and lantern runs off of them, so it is convenient.

    Dog Gone, Camping

    That's good advice. My dogs are always backseat with a harness tied to something. I was rear ended and my jeep got totalled, but dogs are fine.

    Securing a fridge in a truck bed without drilling holes?

    I don't want to install Sliders, so I strap it down, and also bungee cords.

    Do you "pack light" or heavy?

    I pack as light as possible, don't like packing and unpacking too much. Just basic camping gear.

    Dog Gone, Camping

    I don't go camping without them! I usually go solo, or my wife, and my dogs are great company.
