Back in the 1950s the husband and wife team of Alfred and Jakobine (Cordes) Hobbs packed up an old, 1935 Austin, London taxi cab and spent four years traveling the world...
Thought I'd share the following link with all y'all.
These books were written by a true overlander. She is a Land Rover enthusiast and even helped me when it came to buying my Rover. She has been a tremendous help and resource when it's come to maintenance and mechanics.
She has written two...

After having the badge for several years it finally got attached. Had a car show and parade this past Saturday and made sure all the badges got attached for the events. Also won the 4x4 category of the car show.
Anyone else out there using a vintage Land Rover?
Mines a '63 SIIa 88 Station Wagon. Was wondering if anyone else out there is using one for adventures. Would be curious to see your rig and any mods you've done.
Check out this little gem that was waiting at the post office for me today!! I had never heard of this book until the other day. While doing some research on safaris I ran across a site that said "if you've ever wanted to travel around the world in a Land Rover - READ THIS FIRST". So I had to...
Hello everyone!
Was just wondering if any of you out there use a South African potjie pot?
If so, what size are you using? There are sizing charts out there, but am wondering how correct they are. How well do you like it? How do they compare to the average Dutch oven? If I'm understanding...
Just found this article in my mailbox, thought some of you might enjoy it.

It was a rather quick trip (a little over 1,000 miles round trip) filled with lots of investigative stops. As the title indicates the route we took was chock full...
Ran across a newish overlanding type magazine called "ROVA". didn't really care for the magazine yet the name got me to thinking.
There have been a few discussions out there lately about the word "overlanding" being overused and perhaps using a different term.
How about "roving"?
Not sure if it's kosher to post this here or not. If not, my apologies and who ever is able to move it feel free to do so.
I've seen a few threads dealing with food storage and prep on here and thought this would be a good site for everyone to see.
It is designed for backpacking but the same...
Hello -

When I make the updates I can see them when I click the "Preview" button. Yet when I click the "Save Changes" button I get the following:

Am I doing something wrong?
I just found my location pin on the map - it's in the wrong place - 147 miles to the north east of where I'm actually located.
How can I get the location fixed?
My location - Belle Plaine, Kansas, 67013 - is correct and under "Privacy" and "Map" I have checked "Mark my position on map" and...
