I emailed them and they said that there would be arrangements for late arrival. In previous years it's just camping in the entrance field, it wasn't very flat last year.
Depending on where you are coming from in TN, you might be able to swing by one of my favorite camping spots in VA. It's...
Hi all, I have some recovery gear I am looking to let go. I live in Montgomery County, Maryland, but will be at Overland Expo East this upcoming weekend. Pickup preferred, but I'll ship if you pay postage.
Here's what I got:
ARB EZ Deflator - used once or twice, found out I liked the automatic...
I never saw it written anywhere, but I know last year I didn't smell/see any wood campfires. My neighbor last year had a propane firepit, which was really nice.
Oof, that's chilly. Last year I was able to wear shorts and all I needed to sleep was a Pancho liner. Gonna have to break out the long pants and sleeping bag this weekend!
For anyone who is going to show up late Thursday, if it is like previous years, we will all be able to check in and then drive to the camping area together Friday morning, where we should be able to set up next to one another. They don't let you keep spots open for friends who are coming later...
I just contacted one of the event organizers. They said that camping check in is until 6pm on Thursday, and if you show up after that you might not get checked in that night. She said that there will be a place to camp for late arrivals though, but from past experience don't plan on it being a...
This happened to me in 2019, I had to sleep in my passenger seat because there wasn't a flat space to set up a tent on that hillside. I am volunteering this year so I emailed the volunteer coordinator to make sure I would be allowed to set up a real camp Thursday night.
Sounds like it will be a fun trip. Look up a campsite in South-West Virginia called "The Scales". Its in the Jefferson National Forest, but it is definitely worth visiting. Its up on a clearing on top of a mountain, there are wild horses and a pit toilet. The AT runs right through the campsite...
For a basic kit you really don't need much. A shovel, a tow strap (don't try to do a kinetic or snatch strap and a way to attach it to both your vehicle and whoever is towing you is all that you really need. Traction boards are great too, but are far from a necessity unless you are really...
You're coming a long way for the Expo, that's awesome! It's only like a 3 hour drive for me, coming from the Washington D.C. area. I know a lot of the people who drive from afar like to spend a few days exploring the area before/after expo. Are you doing that? I'm pretty familiar with the area...
Hi Amanda,
Glad you liked it. Let me just clarify that my truck is a complete mixture of metric and standard bolts. I think GM just used whatever they had laying around in their parts bin. But my truck is built on the GMT400 platform, yours should be the GMT800 platform, so there are probably...
Almost all of the hand tools are in a BROG tool bag, and the big stuff (hammer, torque wrench) just lay under it. I have all of this stuff in the space under my drawer, where one of my rear passenger seats was.
The repair gear and fluids all fit in a MTM ACR8-72 ammo crate. I keep that inside...
I carry ALOT of tools, but everything I am carrying has come in handy at some point or another. I also just moved to an apartment, so this is my only tool set for everything from routine maintenance to trailside repairs. If your vehicle has only metric bolts, than it might not be worth it to you...
I've been super happy with my Blue Ridge Overland Gear tool bag, it absolutely swallows tools. It carries pretty much all of my tools besides big things like a brake hammer and torque wrench.
I drive a 2000 Chevy, so there is a mix-match of metric and imperial size bolts everywhere, so I really...
I just signed up yesterday to be a volunteer. Not sure if I'll have to camp in the volunteer area or if I would be able to sneak off to join a potential Overland Bound camp if we can get one.
I'll be on trash duty all day Friday, but then I can enjoy the show all day Saturday and Sunday!
I'll just start by saying I'm not an expert, so I apologize if I don't explain something right;
Your standard 4WD system is more complicated than just "give it gas and all 4 wheels will turn". With unlocked differentials (which is standard for most vehicles) power is going to take the path of...
I would be willing to monitor an email address and make a post (on behalf of someone else) in the distress section of Overland Bound, and possibly to any local 4x4 rescue/recovery groups. I set up an email address, 4x4recoveries@gmail.com. I set it up so that any emails will be forwarded to my...
I sent it to you via a direct message. If anyone else needs it for this let me know and I'll send it over. I don't want to post it publicly on the internet.
