    I’m going vehicle based so I can cover more ground. As much as I love the idea of backpacking, I don’t wanna hump all that stuff. I was a mechanic not a grunt lol

    I hear you on the camaraderie part. I also miss the missions. Granted mentally I still think I’m 20 and hoah and then my body reminds me in 38 years old. If your ever around South Georgia look me up for a place to crash.

    Trailer or no trailer?

    What’s the deposit usually? I won’t be able to overland until approx. 2024 so I’ve got time for a lengthy wait. When is the rest due? I filled out a build sheet and when they get back to me will change some things to reduce the cost. Things I can do myself/buy cheaper online. Like the 270...

    Trailer or no trailer?

    @1Louder I read the entire thread. I didn’t know this had already been asked, but usually most things already are. Anyways a lot of good points were made especially with being able to base camp and go day tripping. Now I quest for finding the best one for me. So the search begins [emoji19]

    Trailer or no trailer?

    I’m trying to decide on nomading in just my power wagon with a rtt or with an overland trailer. This would be full time and I’m currently planning on mountain house for food so it eliminates the need for refrigeration.

    Educate me with an adage....

    Prior planning prevents piss poor performance. Too bad the army can’t practice what it preaches.

    What was Romania like? I plan on nomading around the us and world and especially Europe. When I was 16 I spent 6 weeks in France and loved it. I’m hoping to be able to get this adventure going before 2024 but it may not be possible.

    The call of a nomad

    Thank you specter. I noticed from one of your other posts (the adage one) you are former spec ops. What branch? I got the opportunity to train for 2 weeks with 10 sfg when I was stationed at ft. Carson. Loved it
