    US West North Bay Overland Bound Fall 2025 Meetings

    There haven't been any new meet-ups scheduled for the year. If you would like to host a meet-up, or two this spring in Novato, you are more than welcome to. I've stepped back from organizing the meet-ups after several years, and @CariR did a great job of hosting them last year.

    Traction board alternative?

    I've never had much luck with traction boards, except when leveling my truck. It's also very possible I don't know what I'm doing with them. I'm also interested in alternatives. My current ones are all cracked and do take up a lot of space.

    Controlled drugs & full time

    As an outpatient nurse, I see this somewhat regularly. You're doing about the best you can do. Stick with CVS since it's a chain, it's a little easier to work with when traveling around. That said, it's a chain and they tend to be fairly strict on their policies. With controlled meds, you will...

    Mr. Buddy Heater Question - Outdoor Use, Dispersed Camping

    If you want to be warm outside, you'll need a fire and/or layers. If it's windy, create a windbreak using your vehicle or rocks or anything you can stack. Also depending on how windy, I probably wouldn't make a wood fire due to wildfire danger. This is where your Ignik fire pit comes in handy...

    Planning a trip to Mammoth, CA

    Check out Bodie Ghost town, and there is dispersed camping along the Bodie Masonic Road. A couple of cool spots at the north end too. You all should be able to get up Copper Mountain and camp near the top too. There are quite a few roads out there and such that you'll all be fine. The area...

    Hey Ken, we can move it earlier (also my preference) from 10-12, if that works better.

    How to shop for a truck camper

    There lots of options. You can go with a pop-up topper like Ovrlnd, Alu-cab, Harker, etc. There a lot of makers and I'm sure there is one relatively local to you. The thing with most of these is you have to build out the interiors. They are basically a shell with a bed platform. Then you have...

    Goal: simple day to day life, small(ish), offroad capable – a Jeep Gladiator build

    One of the most impressive buildouts I've ever seen on one of these. Nice work!
