Camping on BLM near Quartzite, AZ.

I've been using an Oscar's Mobile Hideout spare tire bag for about 2 years and am happy with it.

I have a 1998 Sportsmobile and I LOVE it. It was converted by the Fresno shop - now Field Van - and I had it lifted and 4WD installed in 2021 by Timberline Vans in Golden, CO.

Along the Marshall Pass Trail in Colorado

I went to the post office for clarification. When you hold mail online, you can only hold for 2 weeks. If you go to the post office and fill out a hold mail form, you can hold it for 30 days or longer with the post master's approval.

I understand the US Postal Service will hold residential mail for 2 weeks. What do you do if you need it held longer? TIH

Great video. Thank you!!

I'm looking forward to the YouTube reviews.

Camping along the Current River, Missouri, at Akers Ferry. We got run off by a Ranger, so it was short lived.

Your ride should fit your mission profile. Period. I can't get my van down narrow, rutted tracks in the Ozark Mountains or rock crawl in Moab. But, I don't want to. That's not my thang.

Hello Geoff, Welcome! Yes, you're among a whole bunch of folks feeling lucky to be here and we're glad you are here, as well. Lots of leaning opportunities here.

Welcome to OB. This is a great community.

I had a big REI rebate and used it to buy a pair of GXT1000VP4 handhelds. It can get pretty dicey backing into a treed camping spot, so I plan on using them to help us communicate as my wife guides me into a camping spot. Also, I use it to stay in touch with my while I hike a trail.

Good point. Each person's mission profile varies.

Welcome to OB. You've joined a great community.

We use the Basics mentioned by FishinCrzy, above. We each carried 2 - undergarments and socks in one, shirts, sweatshirts, and pants in another. One thing I learned, for me anyway, is that packing clothes for overlanding is a lot like packing for through hiking. You really only need one change...

Hey Rex, is that a Bernese Mountain Dog? I have a Mini Bernedoodle. He doesn't have the white up his nose, but he should.

After backpacking, a bare bones van with minimal gear is like living at a five-star hotel.
