    New Rig Advice

    Nissan Titan here. Several trips from the East coast to the West coast and back again and proven throughout Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Idaho, Washington, Vermont and New Hampshire.. I bought the Nissan because it was 25% less than the comparable Ford and Toyota with a way better...

    Skid plates '15 Nissan Titan??

    2018 Titan owner here - I love my truck, but aftermarket is a dumpster fire of afterthought and I've worked a ton on custom solutions for stuff (I should document it) that is a simple buy on any other platform. I think your best bet is to find a fabricator to bend some steel and drill out the...

    Traveling with a guitar

    I always bring my Taylor GS - GS Mini - It's small, but it has a completely playable scale length (23.5") and unlike most travel guitars, it doesn't suck. It has great projection and most importantly, plays fantastic. It's easily the best small guitar I've ever played. I definitely recommend...

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    Viair 400P here. I think it's a pretty decent little rig, however, I do want a vehicle mounted compressor. I want to reclaim the space of of one of my gear pod minis.

    When Your Daily Driver is Your Overland Rig

    My garage at work has two clearances, the main which is 7' 4" and the other is a bit lower. I discovered this by having the crossbars on my leitner rack take out the electrical conduit. I stopped bringing the rotopax to work when there was a small leak which set off some sensor in the garage and...

    I would love to test it. I'm holding off buying the Garmin unit until I test this.

    Coffee Set Ups

    I use a JavaPresse Manual Coffee Grinder and an AeroPress (best coffee maker under 1k) is with a stainless steel filter. Zero power requirements, small footprint, reusable and perfect coffee each time. I use the AeroPress at home and generally prefer it to a french press, the keurig, our...

    Camp Shower (Merged)

    On my big trip last year (CT to WA and back), it was the first time I had done the trip without my wife - just my son and I. We sort of cowboy cleaned along the way and by the time we hit Montana on the way back, it was starting to show. We had showers and were generally clean, but the clothes...

    Cordless Chainsaw

    I picked up a Sun Joe iON 100Volt 5AMP (18") from Amazon with a 100aH (1500 Watt motor) and so far, it's pretty awesome. It kicks the snot out of my 16" Homelite. I've only used it around my house so far, but I'm kicking myself for not getting an electric version sooner.

    Navigation apps

    Gaia on an iPad Pro (for longer trips) and an Nvidia Shield for short trips (that's in the truck daily).

    Where to go????

    I’ve done the trip from Middletown, CT to Seattle, WA and back a couple times. My recommendation is to enjoy the west for much of the time and book it once you get past WI. Lots of great trails in WA and a couple loops that can work your way back to I90. There are a few Boondocking campsites...
