I do have quite a bit of workload - mostly looking out for obstructions like electrical wires and towers. I also don't have an autopilot. I think my gyro also qualifies as a recreational vehicle.

My gyroplane

One or two members might be curious to know what happened to me after my last anti-shanty post last year...most everyone will probably be confused by my posting at all. I do a lot of Overlanding these days but from about 500 to 1000 feet above the ground at 60 knots. At 72, I bought a new...

This will be an experimental trip for me. As some may know, I cancelled my Anti-Shanti and purchased a Gyroplane. No, I won't use it on this trip. I'm experimenting with a truck tent, a beach tent, and my camping equipment. I may eventually purchase something to tow behind the truck. This...

Thought I should mention I have made a directional change. I start my Gyroplane training next week. I plan to allocate the money I had set aside for an AntiShanty towards a Autogyro Calidus Gyroplane. Obviously this says nothing useful about the AntiShanty or about Over landing, but is simply a...

I spent a day off-roading/overlanding with Badlands 4x4 over the weekend in Mojave-was an excellent class. Heavy winds all day long. My stock 2020 F150 4x4 pkg easily kept up with the jeeps. I was amazed the stuff they took us through - way more challenging than I expected. Very happy with my...

Whether a refrigerator or a cooler, its roughly the same space. My refrig fits in the back seat area of my truck with the seats up and easy access to the electrical ports. I don't have experience fitting all the stuff required into/on the side/on top of a jeep or mid-size truck, for example...

Time on the road and a tight budget drives your choices as I see it. Not for me to get by without an awning and lights. You can find ways to avoid waterlogged foods, just research what others do (assuming short trips). Check on the quality of the refrigerator, compatibility with your power...

I will be sure to mention winterizing concerns and your example of a design failure. I will reread this thread before I go. Their first interior A/C unit didn't work well enough so they moved to the unit I mentioned previously. I know about that because they are very transparent on the phone...

I spent some time looking over the Escapod website. It looks like a very strong and well-designed unit for going off-road and the base price seems fair. So I would agree on first blush its a solid choice in its category. I think it has some sweetheart friendly design features the Antishanty is...

I have put down a deposit on an Antishanty Pro trailer that will be available for me this July. I will visit the factory next month. I considered a lot of off-road trailers (including the Escapod), Aussie caravan trailers, truck campers, expedition trucks, etc out there. Be happy to answer any...

Ah yes, another Boxer lover. They are very adaptable dogs. You would probably enjoy coming Pheasant hunting with me. A Boxer hunts differently than a Pointer, but I get lots of birds without any problem, I just have to keep moving with him and be ready to shoot when he is ready to flush. I use a...

Location: Vallejo, California Rig: Ford F150 4x4 with Decked system storage. Have put down a deposit on an AntiShanty Pro for July 2020 delivery. Midnight Ranch Hand front bumper on order. Experience: Camping, small trailer, and truck camper. Am scheduled to take a 2 day basic off-roading...
