I’ve owned one since they came out and while I really like it, there are some cons. it’s almost 6.5’ packed up and 60lbs so you need a lot of space to store it. limited ventilation so it can get muggy in the humid summer.

Part of it is that winch bumpers and eco boosts don’t work, add in adaptive cruise and you’ve removed a huge chunk of F150s in the market.

I’ve used a scout nesting kit for the last 25 years and finally got sick of scrubbing aluminum pans. I picked up the Magna 10 piece set and have to say that it is incredibly nice. The bottoms are super thick so you won’t scorch your food. Well worth the upgrade for sure.

There is a link to my 2015 F150 crew cab 6.5’ bed overlander in my sig. I haven’t done much to it except maintenance since my last post. I have over 180k miles on it now and will be replacing it with a 2023 F350 amd ATOverland Atlas. the F150 has been an amazing truck, looking back I wouldn’t...

Thanks for sharing the sliders. This post has absolutely been sleeping! The truck has been ing doing great. I’m at 163,000 miles with only normal maintenance and 3 throttle bodies(known ford problem).

Hands down without a doubt the best sleeping bags I’ve owned are the Sierra Designs Back Country Beds. I have the duo down version which is a two person and the 40 degree down for single sleeping.

Mountain House still makes meal components for some MREs, specifically the arctic versions in the white bags.

You’ll be happy you got it. I’ve kept mine active the whole time so I can’t speak to the gps portion but I would think it would as it doesn’t require service for access to the gps or the mapping on the app.

The key will be to download all the tiles for your route before you go and you won’t have any problems. This can take some serious memory/number of tiles and you may have to do a few separate downloads. I had great luck with my iPad Pro cellular(no cell service) and GAIA, I also used CALTOPO...

That’s the new one that has the bug netting, different layout than ours. I use paracord with mine to hang a lamp or towels.

A few bushwack sites from my trip to Labrador, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Quite possibly the best trip I’ve taken.

You absolutely can. You use it similarly to an electric winch just with elbow grease.

Nice build so far! My 2015 has served me well on multiple expeditions and operations. Check out my build in my link for ideas.

I’ve been toting this around and it’s been perfect. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/overland-bar.22156/

Warmed beeswax is the winner here. Be careful with a lot of the traditional leather protectants as they can contain organics that will promote rot. UV is going to be the big killer if you keep it on your vehicle. I build axes and have a side business restoreing vintage axes. I can help...

I get your points for sure. I don’t agree completely with the awareness part. In a recovery its often because the area is rough or you may be extracting in the dark or foul weather. Fatigue can be effect due to trail exhaustion, lack of sleep, dehydration or panic. Poor choices are made...

A big benefit of the airbag jack is it’s floatation over soft surfaces. In soft mud Or powerery snow a lot of jacks will sink, even with a plate underneath. I wouldn’t have an air bag jack as the first choice but it’s a good tool for the tool box.

Lol, I was teaching a Wilderness First Aid class and this was an improvised stretcher.

I’ve used my More power puller dozens of times on extractions for myself and others. I also use it for disaster response/tree work. winches are awesome but the cost is high and usually are only on one end of the vehicle. I’ve had a few and like the warn Zeon. My current truck is hard to...

Mountain house is the best of the big players but packit gourmet is by far the best. Good to go foods is fantastic too.
