    Device Mounting Suggestions - Help!

    I already have mag ones -- doesn't seem to hold up my phone or iPad on rough terrain. The Garmin Overlander has its own mag, and works really great, but it sits on the dash (want to have it in front of the radio instead, and be able to have access to it without having to remove it from the mag...

    Where do you work.

    I'm a Superintendent, Contracts Management, and work at a mine site in Northern British Columbia on a FIFO (2on/2off). Currently working from home since April given Covid. As a non-essential staff -- I am not digging for gold out in the pit -- means I can work from home. This is to flatten the...

    Roof Top Tent (RTT) Questions

    Thanks! That is the only negative I have to say about my RTT. I am forced to remove it at the end of my adventures which is a real pain, hence one of the reasons why I am looking at trailers. Just want to be able to park my gear in my garage (after cleaning it/winterize it) and that's it!

    Device Mounting Suggestions - Help!

    I am trying to figure out a way/find a solution to mount/secure my Garmin Overlander GPS, my InReach coms and my cell to my 2015 4Runner center console. I am not looking to attach anything to the dash, and do not mind if I have to install a modular system to the center console (just recently...

    There are a few out there, such as the perimeter trip alarm systems (make sure to use blanks!).

    Oh nice. I was hoping to be at the Off-Road Expo in Arizona this year, but Covid and border closures changed all that. It looks like they will be holding it in October now, but work commitments/restrictions regarding cross-border travel is a 'no no' as well. *sad* Stay safe, and thanks for the chat.

    Roof Top Tent (RTT) Questions

    My pleasure!. And, fully agree -- we need to always be aware of our surroundings when ground camping solo. I remember waking up to my axe stuck to a note (on the tree I had my food hanging). Note stated: 'glad you did not wake up!' My food was gone, as well as some hiking gear I had spread out...

    Roof Top Tent (RTT) Questions

    @rgallant - I fully agree that something like a lunette ring with a pintle hook is a better upgrade to what I currently have (ball mount trailer hitch). Would not dare go on rough areas with it! The trailer I'm leaning towards (Turtleback Trailers - Expedition) comes with a Max Coupler swivel...

    New Member from Canada - EH?!?

    Looks like it. It is definitely growing. I’m sure glad.

    OMG! So Glad I found Overland Bound

    Hehehe... I was surprised too! I thought it was a fraudulent website, but they are real and quite popular in the US.

    Roof Top Tent (RTT) Questions

    Fully agree. I have done the ground camping for as long as I can remember - with its pros and cons. Also did some truck camping (sleeping inside the truck) because of our Canadian unpredictable weather - weather never stopped us, we just have to work around it. Today, being able to afford a...
