    Overlanding and kayaking

    we take our Intex excursion pro 2 seater with us on most trips; easy to set up, tracks well with extened skeg. paddles were garbage, but otherwise works well for us

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    Air armor here, had it for several years now and works fine for inflating my 32" tires. just let it cool down before inflating your buddy's tires too

    Suggestions on kayak/roof rack solutions
