    GPS App's - What do you recommend?

    Gaia's added the NatGeo Trails Illustrated maps on top of the usual smattering of USGS topo, USFS maps, land use maps, and dozens others. That makes it a pretty easy choice for me. It takes a subscription these days, but it's amazing for pretty much any kind of navigation I've thrown at it so...

    We'll be there for setup and the event with our Jeep in some stage of built. You're welcome to come by to say hi, chat, and see how we're set up.

    UPDATED: PREWITT RIDGE RD 2/17 -- CLOSED:Bixby/Coast Road 2/17

    The most recent update I could find that specifically mentions Old Coast Road is from early November. http://www.bigsurcalifornia.org/highway_conditions.html

    UPDATED: PREWITT RIDGE RD 2/17 -- CLOSED:Bixby/Coast Road 2/17

    Have they opened the Old Coast Road up again? Last I heard, it was closed off after the mudslides. I hope it is! It's a short, gorgeous drive that I'd always take on my way from the Bay to some of my favorite campsites in Los Padres before the fires.

    Drones for videography and stills

    You might want to wait a day or two before pickup up a drone. DJI has been teasing a new drone model for a while now and has scheduled a big release broadcast for tomorrow afternoon. From what I've read, it'll sit somewhere between the Mavic Pro and the Spark in terms of size, portability, and...

    Bedding for camping, what do you use?

    It really depends on what we're up to. When we were in our roof top tent, we'd use proper sheets and a Rumpl blanket. It didn't work quite as well when it was cold (anything below freezing was miserable), so we'd pack in a giant Teton Mammoth sleeping bag. Even in a stuff sack, it takes up...

    Drones for videography and stills

    I've got a DJI Mavic Pro. For me, it's a great balance of portability, easy flight, and great image/video quality. The whole thing packs down into a bag about the size of a brown paper lunch sack, including the controller, three batteries, spare propellers, and a set of ND filters. The camera...

    SOLD Bay Area, CA - Gobi JK Stealth Awning Mounts

    I've got a pair of awning mounts for a Gobi JK Stealth rack. I had them installed for about a year with an ARB 2500 awning, so they're obviously used but in good shape overall. They'll work for most awnings with the exception of maybe a few 270° models. I paid $120 for them, they're yours for...

    SOLD Bay Area, CA - M101A2 Trailer - $1700

    I'm still sitting on this trailer. I'd love to get it in the hands of someone who'd put it to use instead of having it just sitting around looking lonely and forlorn.

    SOLD Bay Area, CA - M101A2 Trailer - $1700

    I've got an M101 A2 trailer that I'm looking to part ways with. I used it to move down from Oregon and was planning on building it out into a mobile workshop, but life has a funny way of changing direction. So now I'm just looking to get out of it what I paid earlier this year. It's in great...

    The regular room has the same awning track system for the vehicle side attachment as it does for the extended side. The only difference is the extended side zips on and off for easy setup. You'll just need to slot the outside section into the track first, then zip the vehicle side on. It'll...

    Bay Area Wanderers

    Hello from the East Bay! I'm Caelan, my wife is Sophia, and our dog's named Monster. We've settled in the Bay Area for a few years to finish up the build on our 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, Arrakis. After spending about six months criss-crossing the country, living out of the Jeep...
