    What is the one spice

    Depends on whether I am on/near water or inland. Inland: Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (https://www.tonychachere.com/) . On the coast: Old bay seasoning (https://www.mccormick.com/old-bay/products/seasonings-and-sauces/old-bay-seasoning) To be honest, I don't know if I could...

    Coffee Set Ups

    I use my wife's Keurig with my ground coffee if I want a single cup at home. If I want more, like on a weekend I am going to take a mug with me, or I want really good, strong coffee, I use my press. A friend who is a self proclaimed coffee expert (hope he isn't reading this, he really does...

    2004 Land Rover Discovery adventure build

    Love my 00 Disco - and have missed it something awful the past month (long story having to do with living in a small town with a mechanic who discovered he has serious arthritis). It's coming home tomorrow though, and will be in Tate's Hell this weekend :)

    What About "Idiots" on Our Trails?

    My wife and I have a beach house in FL that's in a small community of houses that is completely surrounded by state park. We carry four extra plastic grocery bags whenever we walk (and we walk a LOT -- by ourselves or with our dogs). The reason we carry four extra bags -- we hand them to other...

    2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 Build

    What wheels did you get? I may have missed that earlier.... The stock wheels on mine (3" lift, General Grabbers) are ok; I just prefer steel wheels and hate the little covers on the lug nuts. Of course, there's much more to be done before I replace the wheels...

    Trauma kit supply list?

    It would be great if Chris could list the items from the Vehicle Based Trauma kit video when he has a chance. - or share a link to where he's already got it posted. I see various items listed in the "OB What do I carry in my FAK" pdf - but there is more on that list than covered in the Trauma...

    Chuck box build.

    I'd take a photo, but it's at home and I won't be 'til next week. It's not all that picturesque -- it's a commercial supply trunk (a/k/a "road case"/Gig Box) like this: https://www.roadcasesusa.com/equipment-supply-shipping-case-3-8-plywood-trunk/ , though mine had foam inserts to hold...

    Chuck box build.

    I wish I had the chuck box my dad built a bazillion years ago. I use a "gig box" we picked up at a boy scout yard sale to carry my kitchen. It works fine, but isn't as ultimately cool as these custom builds. It does lock, has super heavy duty latches, hinges and edge armor, but misses the...

    OB Hoodies

    Or one of these branded with the logo: Which has been on my Amazon "good gift idea" list for so long it's no longer available in my size...family never gets the hint....

    Expo East Next Month

    I wasn't going to go because of work and family stuff, but a lot of that has changed because of hurricanes and other stuff, so I'm seriously considering coming up Friday. There's a bunch of 'ifs' though. 1) if I can get out of town in time to make it before 6 and check in. 2) if my Disco is...

    Little disposable tanks be gone

    I have 2 white gas only dual burner coleman stoves (one is about 50 years old, works like a charm with regular maintenance) and a dual-fuel single burner. I used a single burner coleman 'white gas' stove for over 25 years before buying the dual fuel. I don't like carrying the white gas, it can...

    South Carolina or North Carolina Beach Camping

    Edisto is one of my favorite places on the east coast, but make your reservations early, and make them for the island, not back on the mainland. The bugs on the mainland sites will carry you, your truck, and everyone you know away at some times of year. Be aware that Edisto is popular, so not...

    Water Use

    no, I mean does pumping water out of the jug create a vacuum (it should if it's not vented and if the lid *is* screwed down tight) That would limit the flow after a certain amount of time. I ask because it's a known problem with some small RV water tanks that use a pump faucet vs. an electric...

    Water Use

    D'oh. got fascinated by the faucet mod and forgot to finish my post. I use reusable plates if it's more than just me, my cook pot when solo. Usually wash with filtered local water to clean up (we have plenty here in the SE US most of the time), and biodegradable soap. TBH, I'm not the most...

    Water Use

    That's a way cool idea. Does pumping the faucet build up vacuum in the can? If so,does it have a built in vent or did you put a small hole in the original cap you used? I think this is the only DIY or otherwise version I've seen that keeps the can upright. I like it!

    Overlanding with cast iron skillet

    My favorite spatula for everything but fish (or non-stick!) is a stainless wok spatula. They are cheap, you can take the cap off the end of the handle of most of them (look for a wood cap instead of a tacked on stainless one). That lest you add a stick if you need a super long spatula and lets...

    Chuck box build.

    Looks good so far - interested to see the rest. I do like using the old drink crate...that's a nice touch.

    Wanted Overland rig / Daily driver / SW Georgia

    I pull a pretty big trailer (Aliner camper) with my 2wd ranger on-road. Added shocks and transmission cooler, plus brake controller, so the Escape should be able to pull your trailer, by the way. I had an early-model Escape (the one built by Mazda or whoever) that went pretty much anywhere...

    Wanted Overland rig / Daily driver / SW Georgia

    Bug out - I live about 20 miles north of you, and see a tee-total ton of vehicles that could be nice overland rigs on Facebook here in SW. GA (Marketplace or specific sale groups -- a lot of them just on Marketplace). Make sure you are looking at Columbus and Tallahassee too, as some of the...

    Coffee Set Ups

    honestly, I'm that way - if going ultralight, I try to find the most appropriate caffeine source, pretty much no matter what it is.
