    Is a Shiftpod 2 tent good for family overlanding

    I’ve owned one since they came out and while I really like it, there are some cons. it’s almost 6.5’ packed up and 60lbs so you need a lot of space to store it. limited ventilation so it can get muggy in the humid summer.

    Why does every winch bumper for new trucks look like optimus prime's helmet?

    Part of it is that winch bumpers and eco boosts don’t work, add in adaptive cruise and you’ve removed a huge chunk of F150s in the market.

    New cooking pots and pans

    I’ve used a scout nesting kit for the last 25 years and finally got sick of scrubbing aluminum pans. I picked up the Magna 10 piece set and have to say that it is incredibly nice. The bottoms are super thick so you won’t scorch your food. Well worth the upgrade for sure.

    Anyone got a late model F150

I have over 180k miles on it now and will be replacing it with a 2023 F350 amd ATOverland Atlas. the F150 has been an amazing truck, looking back I wouldn’t...

    Looking for reviews on double sleeping bags

    Hands down without a doubt the best sleeping bags I’ve owned are the Sierra Designs Back Country Beds. I have the duo down version which is a two person and the 40 degree down for single sleeping.

    Best Freeze Dried Foods?

    Mountain House still makes meal components for some MREs, specifically the arctic versions in the white bags.

    Gaia on Smartphone or wifi iPad with inReach mini?

    You’ll be happy you got it. I’ve kept mine active the whole time so I can’t speak to the gps portion but I would think it would as it doesn’t require service for access to the gps or the mapping on the app.

    Gaia on Smartphone or wifi iPad with inReach mini?

    The key will be to download all the tiles for your route before you go and you won’t have any problems. This can take some serious memory/number of tiles and you may have to do a few separate downloads. I had great luck with my iPad Pro cellular(no cell service) and GAIA, I also used CALTOPO...

    Accessory straps/hooks you bring with your Slumberjack Roadhouse tarp?

    That’s the new one that has the bug netting, different layout than ours. I use paracord with mine to hang a lamp or towels.

    Camp Photos!

    A few bushwack sites from my trip to Labrador, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Quite possibly the best trip I’ve taken.

    Come-along or winch?

    You absolutely can. You use it similarly to an electric winch just with elbow grease.

    Protecting leather from rain

    Warmed beeswax is the winner here. Be careful with a lot of the traditional leather protectants as they can contain organics that will promote rot. UV is going to be the big killer if you keep it on your vehicle. I build axes and have a side business restoreing vintage axes. I can help...
