    What’s the best way to stay warm in my rooftop tent?

    What’s your view this morning?

    Here's a photo of our camp...the Bull Ring parking lot. Was full yesterday...back to being empty this morning. Plus a screen shot of how remote this all takes place...quite amazing.

    What’s your view this morning?

    Our Fall tour continues, currently in the mountains of Guizhou ( Gway-Jo) Province. Here, way back in the day, villagers would settle land disputes with their Water Buffalo. They keep this ancient tradition alive to this day. The bouts end quickly with the loser turning tail and running.

    Exposed Racks Roof Rack for RTT

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Jeep say not to attach gutter mounted racks? FRP is pretty resilient but we not talking about carbon fiber here. Anyways...I too wanted to mount my 125lb. RTT and I'm a stubborn individual. So after plenty of research here's what I came up with. Plenty of shit...

    How long do you stay in one place when boondocking?

    Regardless of what it's called or however long you become still...it's all just sleeping under the stars to me ;-) Thanks Grub for your continued entertainment

    Affordable A/T Tires

    These Cooper Discoverer A/T³'s didn't break the bank and served us well for the last couple of years

    It's a Taiwanese brand...Kinesis. Purchased the frame and built it up from there...some secondhand stuff but groupset and wheels new.

    Who here is also exploring in a small Jeep? Cherokee, Compass, Renegade? Post photos, lets see them.

    This didn't feel small when we bought it...but after some long tours it sure has made us fine tune our gear. With an empty tank we are right on our GVWR (5368lbs)...so it can be a little dicey when the terrain gets bumpy and steep...just waiting for that big nasty BANG! Our longest tours has...

    Smoker

    A little Coastal Salish trick I've learnt over the years. Next time you are BBQ'ing fish (salmon)...put some wet Fir bark inside your gas barbie and cover her up. Will be the best darn fish you ever cooked.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I just finished installing a new fly on our Yakima RTT...lots of UV and high winds totally trashed the old one which ended its life looking like a patchwork quilt. Looking forward to booking outta the oven we live...and heading into the hills for the Autumn.

    We are driving around the world. Right now.

    Hi Eric Had to pass on what an epic adventure you and your young family have been passing along here for all to follow and be inspired by. Although it amazes me that a simple roofrack install will get far more likes and comments than the amazing glimpse you convey with your videos...completely...

    Rooftop Tent Question

    Here is a rack concept that has worked well for us...bouncing over some pretty rough terrain. The ladders come down to the body combing and supports the aft end of the rack...and the bulk of our weight while in the tent. The front of the rack is captured on the gutter...but I have dispersed...

    Bear care

    Very interesting...although I am surprised to learn it will deter a bear. I see you're on the island and I know the high population of black bear there...so your review should be highly regarded. With social media and what I’ve seen on it I must say I give the buggers way more respect. Although...

    Rodents

    We always take our cat...rodents never a problem. Ants and snakes on the other hand are a real pain.
