    What justifies the expense for a rooftop tent?

    We all have our reason for having an RTT or not. 10-35 years ago, I would agree with you, but today I don’t. My RTT cost my about $2000 with an annex, it sits on top of my trailer that is made just for camping, so all of your points don’t apply to me. I believe I stated above that I like my...

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    I am enjoying this thread, but I have a question. what is useless and overpriced stuff? I love my refrigerator, a friend will not buy one, he thinks they are overpriced and a cooler does just as good. On one of my Alaska trips, the ice was melting so fast from slushing around and ice wasn’t...

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    Maybe, I like my lifted 4x4 Tacoma and my trailer. Many times the trailer has been a necessity to me to make a trip, especially if I have others with me. I like having a fridge and not trying to get ice to keep my food. At 65 I find it much easy to climb up into my RTT and sleeping on a 3”...

    Internet Connection while overlanding and the announcement of Starlink

    Me too. As an AirTraffic Controller who started in 1985, everything I did at work was checked, reviewed and checked again. Random drug and alcohol testing, police background checks to keep my security clearance and more. Again, great job, great pay & benefits and retired at 56. If you got a...

    Internet Connection while overlanding and the announcement of Starlink

    I have Starlink ordered for the house, but have no desire to have it for camping. Maybe if I was full time, but even then I would be at a hotel for a night or two every two weeks or so. Right now I don’t see a need for it camping, hell I love it when my phone doesn’t get service and I’m retired

    Interesting thoughts to ponder! What's your take?

    So I still question Google off line, helping me when I am out in the middle of no place. One big problem with this according to google, from the link you gave “This article is only for Google Maps built into your car. Feature availability or functionality may depend on your car manufacturer or...

    Interesting thoughts to ponder! What's your take?

    Except when on a street road trip in the car or truck, I always take paper maps, the most detailed ones I can find, like forest service maps or Benchmarks state maps. The biggest problem with this guy’s article is that he is basing his story on relying on Google maps which will only work with...

    Not going to happen, Ellie is going on 8 and every time we go out on forest roads she gets nervous, sometimes just looking out the back.

    Dog's & NOT Overlanding

When camping after about 2-3 days of being out and traveling she starts...

    Am I doing gaia wrong?

    I live out west and yes. This is just people adding in places they have camped, including spots on the side of the road, a Walmart or a great spot on a trail.
