Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I posted so I figured I would begin again by telling what has happened to me over the last few months.
At the end of November 2020, I made the super difficult decision to trade in my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (my baby for the past 2 years) and purchased...
One thing my recovery team uses a lot is Cluster Hooks. You can find them on Amazon and other recovery websites. They essentially hook into the holes in your frame and can be used for pulls with winches and can get you unstuck if needed. They're relatively cheap too! We use them when we get...
In my rig I carry a 270piece Husky tool kit that I just got from Home Depot on Black Friday as well as extra fuses & a Bluetooth OBDII reader. I highly recommend getting a small jumper battery or eventually a dual battery setup in case you need to jump yourself. I've seen some people carry...
Wow... I did something I never thought I would do, sold my first rig. I previously had a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (photo included) which was my first vehicle when I turned 16, 2 years ago come January. Although it was the perfect rig for me I slowly realized that it might be time for...
Dutch ovens can be hard to master, I'm always impressed with the guys in my Boy Scout troop that can nail food in them! I live in Colorado though and do most of my trips into areas under red flag warnings (pretty rare to find a forest in Colorado that isn't under a fire ban) so having something...
getting the temp right can be tricky but when you're making smaller items that temp. doesn't matter as much it can't be beat. My biggest problem is living at 7,000'+ in elevation makes baking difficult to begin with so I use it for easy things like premade cookies, bread, or the occasional...
I mean, it's definitely not small but with my mini-pickup running either solo or duo Overlanding trips, it isn't a problem just throwing it in the back.
when it comes to Colorado, it's hard to say... most states are great to go camping in during the summer but we had snow in Colorado during June this year so its hard to really pinpoint a good time to go... best bet though? July-September, just remember to bring lots of rain gear, cold weather...
I've always liked the principal of a Hummer, I mean, who wouldn't want a giant machine made to go anywhere and everywhere? I like the new electric hummer because of some of the features but some others have me concerned. For starters... the price is just crazy, if I had 80k to spend, I wouldn't...
Probably one of the best purchases I've ever made for my Overlanding arsenal... A propane-powered camp oven! It has made things so much easier because it's got an oven (no need to bring a dutch oven especially with the current fire bans in Colorado) and dual burners on the top so it is a...
Its true you don't need a lot to make them into a beast, I don't have massive tires yet because I'm starting to save up for college but they definitely are coming down the line. My truck has been all over the Rocky Mountains and I've never had a problem with it, I've even chased some of the new...
A few months ago I went offroading with some friends. It was a red flag day in the County which meant absolutely no fires so we were just cooking some food on our propane stove (allowed) when we heard a large group nearby. We had parked at the end of the trail and they were probably 0.25miles up...
A little late to the thread but I work at The Home Depot as a Cashier... nothing Overlanding related there but its my first job (I'm 17) and it gives me the opportunity to upgrade my rig. My boss is awesome because I just joined Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery and he is allowing me to take as...
I thought about getting the Bronco than decided it wasn't worth the wait so instead I drove my truck up Peak 10 in Breckenridge, CO where some Broncos had been spotted to prove to myself my truck was just as capable as the new Bronco :tearsofjoy:
