What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Mr_Mnml_Engnr]

A small micro-adventure:
Loaded my boys’ car seats into the back (they usually ride in the minivan) and took them to a local coffee shop that has a kids play area. Then took them for a short drive around town.
Is it overland-ish? Definitely not. But half the novelty for them was riding in “dad’s truck” and I just want to foster a sense of adventure in them. It’s a small win, but I’ll def take it

Man I’d love to do a solo trip one of these days. I kinda just want to have a winch first as the ultimate insurance policy

Safe travels! What’s the piece of equipment in your second pic? Heater?

@Mr_Mnml_Engnr that is a heater looks a portable diesel heater, very nicely packaged up.

As for a winch they are helpful but not an ultimate insurance package. They can get you up a hill of out a small deep sided hole. They don't replace common sense and actually getting out of your truck and walking a bad stretch of road first. I spent 7 days traveling around SW British Columbia in an R50 pathfinder with open diffs, 70% off road (about 1500 miles) and some pretty ugly roads. I had to turn around and find alternate routes and bypass a couple of places I wanted to go, but I would have done so even with a winch , the time to which myself up would have exceeded an hour at each place.
