Hi everyone, We're heading to Turquoise Lake in Leadville, CO this weekend from Colorado Springs. Does anyone have recommended camping spots in the Leadville/Buena Vista area worth checking out? I've already given up hope that we can snag a paid spot along the water, but am open for anything in...

So myself and fellow OB member "Cerberus" are planning on heading to Duluth MN for a concert going on at the Bayfront festival Park. We plan on camping up there for possibly a couple days in our ground tents. We are both bringing our significant others and trying to get them into overlanding...

Was recently out doing a trail clean up and I gathered some interesting around the use of the area and was curious as to what the rest of you would do, The road is public, 'no exit', no winter maintenance. The trail exists in the local offroad associations trail index The area is also said to...

I recently picked up my FJ semi locally after searching for months. Looking at a few just to find they were beat, wrecked, or seriously neglected. I was about to hop on a flight to California to look at one when I found the one I purchased about an hour from me. Just driving up to it I could...

made from 10mm plywood and self-locking slides. frankly I need to admit that it looks like a prototype. just roughly painted, no handles etc., tie down eyes and connecting bolts for both casings are still to come. if the first field test is a success, casings might receive an anthracite...

Hello everyone, I am doing my first bikepacking trip on Saturday, March 31, 2018. Think of bikepacking as overlanding but with a mountain bike. This will be done in the Ocala area. I will be riding roughly 25 miles, stopping for the night at a campsite, hang my hammock, then head back on Sunday...
