    How to tick-off a trail leader

    I was going to title it "How to P*ss-off a trail leader" but I didn't know if the moderators would like that. And I truly appreciate all the moderators do. Note: this thread is for trail leaders (trip leaders) to comment on with their experiences leading groups on runs. Trail leaders - post...

    Overlanding in a small economy car

    I've thought about this for a while, so I thought I'd put it out there for comments. I've got a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 that I've used for some shorter overlanding trips (I can sleep in the back). Gets about 10 - 12 mpg. I've got a 1998 Jeep TJ on 33's that I also pull a trailer with that I...

    US Northwest I want to do the TAT (Trans American Trail) in 2021

    Here's the deal. I want to do the TAT in 2021; I have been wanting to for years & I'm not getting any younger (I'm 60 years young). I'm no longer working full time, and it is getting to the point "If not now... when?". I live in WA state. Link: TransAm Trail – with Sam Correro We're...

    Jerry can straps

    I've got two 2.5 gallon Jerry cans attached to the side of my trailer. I bought some military surplus ratchet straps to help hold the cans in their carriers. They looked cool, and they worked great! Top picture. Until I took the trailer on an adventure (running the WABDR). It was muddy...

    Overlanding with older vehicles

    I enjoy overlanding. I enjoy the camping and such. And I enjoy having a well set-up vehicle with PS, PB, heat and air, fuel injection, radio/CD player, etc. I've got a nicely set-up Jeep TJ that'll pretty much go anywhere, and a trailer to take what won't fit in the TJ. If I were taking my...

    Little Harbor Freight type trailer build

    I started building this little 4' HF-type trailer about 10 years ago. Here's where it is at so far. I would say "I'm done", but projects like these are never done. I'd still like to mount a hand-brake to the trailer (need to pull the drums and see if they are set-up for it). The tongue has...
