    If you haven't prepared your rig and your home for severe winter weather, you are about to learn a painful lesson. Adjust your loadout for the severe weather that your area presents. How does your loadout support emergencies in your community?

    It's winter maintenance time. Everything from front to back of my jeep needs at least a thorough inspection. Mechanically I have to get rid of an annoying squeal in my rear brakes. Otherwise, I'll be reworking the interior to make survival and medical accessible for search and rescue

    Cooking

    I prefer the jetboil halfgen. Small, extremely reliable, and effective

    Are newer vehicles preventing you from choosing them for overlanding due to complexity?

    I do understand a desire for simplicity. Although I have a 2018 jlu rubicon with a 2.0l turbo and it's a mild hybrid, keeping this simple is important. Whether you choose a vehicle with all the bells and whistles or a manual carburetor beast, make sure that it can go where you want to go and...

    Rotopax on roof rack??

    Makes sense. Most of my gear is for recovery and Search & Rescue. I am just looking at other options for fuel storage on my 18 jlu rubicon

    CB radio

    I wish that they would simply include it in the basic ham license. It seems like a cash cow.

    Rotopax on roof rack??

    Unlike many folks, I have no desire to put a roof top tent up there. Most likely all that will go up to are two pelican cases, rotopax, and recovery tools. Good advice on the rubber gaskets. I will add that to my tool kit. Most of the gear goes inside the jeep. Less to see equals less...

    Rotopax on roof rack??

    I recently installed an UpTop roof rack on my 2018 jeep jlu rubicon and wonder if it would be practical to install rotopax up there. Probably two 3 gal rotopax instead of a 4 gal for ease of handling and fueling. I would appreciate any advice or sage wisdom. Willy

    Free, Castle Rock, Colorado, rear seats for 2021 Gladiator, local pickup only

    I have a like new set of rear seats for a 2021 Gladiator. These are black cloth. My son removed them from his gladiator as a rear seat delete, then sold his gladiator. So, my garage is now a parts bin. I also have the original stock rock sliders and front/rear tow hooks. If you want any or...
