Well since I can’t go camping on this amazing memorial day weekend I might as well pull off my bumper start welding to fit up a new winch!

The OG overlanders

Where is this? Looks like Eastern Oregon or Washington?

It’s been a great summer in Central Oregon. Here are two pictures from the Cascade Range!

Nice one! Chlorine bleach is a state approved food contact surface sanitizer. Really you need 50-200ppm for a one minute dwell time to properly sanitize and no rinse required. This will keep food-Bourne illness away and keep our camping fun and not sick time. Ammonium chloride (multi-quats) are...

I like this box under your stove. I’m looking at getting the same partner steel stove. What kind of box is this? Details please!

Perfect method. I’m not a fan of dumping in a fire pit and attracting pests or predators. I just cut an empty beer can and pour the grease, let it cool and add it to the secured trash area.

The Smokys are on my list for sure! I would love to get out there during autumn colors and hit some backpacking trails. Here in Oregon it’s big ponderosa forests and conifers... definitely not the Smokey’s. Have fun out there

Up in Canada you have a capacity of 5 in a shotgun and hunting rifles right? I still say more is better and I do not see the benefit of the air rifle vs tried and true shotgun loads. If you are concerned about actual defense then I’m still saying shotgun + training is the best bet. Especially if...

That’s great! I love combining overlanding and backpacking. It’s a great way to get to those hard to access trail heads and get to more remote country faster. Any trips planned yet?

I’d say use what you have already if possible. A 12gauge shotgun is a classic. My dad dropped a charging grizzle with a single rifle shot from the hip 300win mag! I’ve been interested in light and fast. CMMG’s 10mm Banshee looks awesome. I like the 30 round capacity because if I’m freaking...

I grew up in Alaska always carrying a .44mag revolver when camping. These days I generally carry a 9mm and bear spray. In bear country I’ll add that .44mag to my kit or even a rifle but I’m not too concerned down here in the states. As a side note I only ever camp in remote dispersed camping...

When I made the decision to add a roof top tent with that weight up high, I knew I was reducing my capabilities. When I have a tent I’m in overland mode and not rock crawling mode. Adding another awning only enhances my camping goal. The trick is learning the new limitations that extra weight...

I’m excited to see this build progress. A GX470 may be my next rig.

Good to be here! I am Mark. Living in Bend Oregon. My Covid-project has been bring my 1988 Toyota 4Runner back to life. I just finished a new paint job and am focusing on reliability-oriented overland build-out. It’s good to be here and I’m just starting to dig in to OB.
