    The Grenadier....

    Haha, was not my intention but it really did perform great in that environment.

    The Grenadier....

    Yes, that is the one. Sorry for not posting up the link. Ya the time at the dealership was a bit extended as they had to work with INEOS to figure out why the fuel pump had shut down. Then it wouldn't go into gear and they again had to work with INEOS to figure that out. Once the mechanical...

    The Grenadier....

    Sorry, I just saw this. I was in love with the vehicle (with the exception of fuel consumption) right through our trip to Baja (video on the channel). Sadly because we got backed into there was a waterfall of issues that lead to it having to be hauled from Cabo to San Diego dealer. This was...

    Essential Tools and Gear for Overlanding

    I am also in the camp that it really depends on what you are doing. If you are remote there are more things I think necessary (think communications, medical preparation, stable food) that you would never need if you are going to a state park that has other people around. Be honest about the...

    Dehydrated vs freeze drying foods

    We don't use a fridge/freezer instead opting for a lighter and simpler set up (could always change our minds on this so no virtue signaling going on here) and find that the dehydrated stuff works very well as it is light and, more importantly, shelf stable for longer trips. The benefit/trade off...

    Dehydrated vs freeze drying foods

    Hey Grub, I know this is a bit old but we dehydrate pasta sauce and salsa as well as some stews. The pasta sauce and salsa come out like a fruit leather and simply rehydrate when steeped in boiling water. The stew is more crumbly when dehydrated, not like a leather but reheats well-use hamburger...

    Overlanding with a CPAP; Power options?

    Easylonger ES960 Battery Pack review is done. Before I start I will note that Easylonger sent me this battery pack to try out at no charge but did not ask for or receive any editorial role, nor did they see the video before it posted. Ok, so all in all I think this is a great tool for portable...

    Remote soldering station

    Nice find. That would certainly come in handy.

    Overlanding with a CPAP; Power options?

    I normally power mine with a DC power cord and my Bluetti power station. I just received ( sent by the company for review ) a 96,000 mah CPAP battery pack that looks to have cords for multiple cpap machines. The brand is Easylonger. I am just starting to test it but hoping it a nice compromise...

    Bear care

    I normally keep the food in the vehicle or up in a tree when I am not around the vehicle. When traveling in dicey country I also try to limit cooking where I am camping for the night and minimize very smelly foods as much as possible. I have experienced bears but never had an issue with one in...

    Stokes Nomad inductive cook system

    Looks like a neat system. I am curious though if you have, say a 400 watt inverter, can you still get the pan hot enough to sear?

    Dehydrated vs freeze drying foods

    I am pretty fond of these two books that might give you some good ideas- https://amzn.to/3Uez6Xp https://amzn.to/3JcZkU6

    Baja

    We are heading to Baja for the first time in a couple of weeks to give the Grenadier a bit of a shakedown. We decided to participate in the NORRA Mexican 1000 Safari Class and are excited to see all the action around the race while doing some overlanding in a new spot.

    Which App is best?

    I primarily use Gaia and have found it very good for the trail stuff (and Trails Off-road is great if they have mapped the trail) but use a Garmin (mine is Overlander) for a longer trip in conjunction as it has both trail and roads. My gripe with Garmin is that , imho, their manuals suck. I am...

    DIY LifeSaver with Scepter 20L - Camp Sink/Faucet w/Filter

    That looks like a great set up. What kind of flow rate do you get with the filter inline?

    Which App is best?

    Anyone used LeadNav and have an opinion vs. Gaia?

    The Perfect Camp Stove

    I use that induction burner at home but definitely use the GreenPan Clips when camping-great choice.

    Let them eat SPAM!

    That might have to be attempted in a dutch oven!

    Back door into Glacier National Park

    We camped at Kintla a couple of years ago-one of our top campsites ever for non-dispersed camping. We were on the fall shoulder and the campground was only about 40% full. Here is a video of the lake if anyone wants to check it out. I highly recommend it just be aware that they do shut off the...
