I just received Wealers nesting pot set, Wow Just Wow! I replaced a 30 year Coleman pot set, that isn't made anymore. It was good for a lot of years but the handles started to fall off. These pots are great, they have a thick bottom for even heat flush lids. They are big enough to feed 4 easily...

I love using beach umbrellas as a quick and movable sunshade. The last couple of years I’ve been using the Tommy B from Costco, cheap and if they blow out I get them replaced. They don’t look like most overlanding fashion but I prefer fiction over fashion. I have awning that also provides...

I don’t want to step out of line here. If you would like to see what it like to run and finish the Baja 1000, look up Chinolas Baja 1000 2020. It’s about 18 mins of a Mexican team that runs a class 1000 car. It does a good job of what the race is like. I have no affiliation with them in anyway.
