Awesome stories and photos, everyone! Took my guy out for our like 5th or 6th trip!

I don't think you're overthinking it. Because that's a potential trip ruiner if unaddressed. My boy gets specific, but he will also cave to his classics which are super easy, hor dog, pb and j, mac and cheese, and fried rice. All of which are easy to do out there. I engineered a lot of comfort...

Sorry to hear about your wife as well, but she's lucky to have you and vice versa, I'm sure. Regarding food, my son has really equated his favorite foods with overlanding. We've been on three or four trips out to my hunting land in the last few weeks, soaking up the last cool weather. Due to...

Thanks for the outdoor research hat idea and the finger counting idea. Sterling now has a bug proof hat and loves "tracking" us on a map, the finger thing will get him even more involved.

Ya, we replicate home. Meals at the same time, alone time mid day to reset, bed time pushes out a bit later. But my son is hyper routine oriented, but appreciates breaks from the routine too, which is odd. So, he may not be the best benchmark. But I do keep him on the routine as much as I can...

So, I think I posted a version of this story on the other thread, but just to get it rolling, I'll share again. A couple years back, I bought a piece of hunting land that is fully primitive and needs a pretty capable off road rig to get down to. Well, my dad at the time, had a severely messed...

My dad uses a Nackery for his CPAP. I can get models of both, if you're interested. He gets a 100% battery down to 40%, then his 100W solar gets it back to 100% before noon on most days. He's never needed help, but he can tie into my system for a charge if needed. Works great.

I'm still working on a bug solution for Sterling. I've used sprays, bracelets, a tent, and a bunch of stuff. Everything works ok, but mileage varies based on the bugs in your area. One thing, bring red lights for night. He's not afraid of the dark anymore, but when he was, it was screaming about...

I know OP is gone and this thread is trying to die, but just wanted to mention something really quickly that I didn't see skimming the past 25 pages. What OP and everyone has pointed out as potential "elitism" literally exists in every hobby that I know of in existence. For normal camping...

Would adore to take you up on this!

Thanks all for sharing. Group meets have been a worry for me as well because of the same stuff. I think a board and meetups would be great. I'm in Texas, and barring a break down or two, am willing to drive over some land.

Thanks, all!

This is an awesome thread, thanks for starting it and thanks everyone for sharing!

OP, That sounds just like my son! Laughing, bouncing, and kissing my head all night. It's a fun time and you have a good plan. Enjoy it!

Hey everybody, So, I've been lurking for months now, only registered and posted because another member was asking for advice from folks that overland with kids with special needs, so wanted to share some stuff I learned the hard way. Anyways, I'm here now, figured I'd do the welcome thread...

OP, I've been lurking the forum for months, but decided to register just because I'm in the same boat with you and hopefully can help. I've been taking my son camping/overlanding, boating, and all since he was about 2 and he was diagnosed about a year ago. My son is hyper verbal, so that's a...
