    Help, I have Jeep envy

    I bought my first Jeep at 14 years old. A 1962 Willys pickup. I have had 12 more after that. CJ5’s, flatties, CJ7, 2) YJ’s and a TJ.

    2023 trips North Idaho and Montana

    Still lots of snow. It’s going to be a while before the roads are clear. I’ll be headed to Utah in 4 weeks via Wyoming. I won’t be doing much local trips now until June.

    Gaia snow level map layer

    Just sharing a map layer on Gaia that shows you snow levels. There is also weather and fire layers as well. This spring the northwest and other areas have received way more snow than we usually do. It’s good to be prepared before you go.

    Coloradan Offroader turning to Overland

    Many others like my self are in the same situation. I owned Jeeps since I was 14 and built many. Most were Willys flat fenders and CJ5’s. Wheeled the Cascades of Washington. Now in my mid 50s I like a calmer way of life and more long distance exploration. You will find a lot of people in the...

    /what electronics are needed to start?

    For many years I used paper maps. No electronics at all. Map and a compass. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying I don’t have it. I am saying you don’t need it to have a good time and still be safe. GMRS base in car, 2 handhelds, iPhone, garmin, IPad, Gaia. Hand held gps, but the best is to...
