    12v fridge recommendations

    :) In principle you are right, but I can see your are not a beer drinker.. Half of my 40L engel is occupied by beer and Baileys.. And those need to be cold. Having them warm is very risky for health and can also lead to expensive divorces .. When they will invent a good warm beer, I...

    12v fridge recommendations

    I used 2 fridges. I have a Snomaster traveler 35l - the cheapest in the lineup. As opposed to its bigger more expensive brothers, this one is made out of plastic and with thinner insulation. The fuse holder gave up second trip, I took it apart and rigged an inline fuse. That was...

    EU Mid Europe Pentecost France

    I know some places where you can have a decent pizza for 10-12 euro, is not that bad. But indeed, you can also pay for a piece of fish with rice and a glass of wine 75 euro easy.. :)

    Wisdom heard today from an overlanding old-timer about where to start

    All well and good but I am sure you seen people go overboard very often .. I am going for a long week-end in south Spain but what if a sudden cold comes like the 2012 movie and I don't have the -10 sleeping bag with me ? Hmm 14.2 V at the alternator, perhaps I should carry a spare...

    Dog's & NOT Overlanding

    Well both I would say. I was reading some stuff that got me really scared. As I said, while I was camping now many years (before it became overlanding ) never had the "pleasure" of encountering one. Also this is the first dog I own. And from at I read, dogs in camping trips have a knack...

    Dog's & NOT Overlanding

    Got it from a farm across the border from me, In Belgium, about 60 km. I saw the parents, both chocolate labs. The guy told me that in each litter from this pair, about 25 % come with long hair. I did some reading, many labs still have a recessive gene for long hair, and if both parents...

    Dog's & NOT Overlanding

    Did the a long road trip first time with my 6 months chocolate lab... It is the long hair one, I was told by the breeder that is a bad thing, it will not be accepted to shows - like I care. My wife just liked it so we took it.. :) By long trip I mean first day I drove 16 hours and second...

    Do I really need to bring extra gas?

    Never need it. But I do look and plan, and always top off even if it is just a relatively short portion road off road. Does not matter if have to do 15 miles or 100. I hope a day will come that I will need it, means i will go someplace really remote. If you need it very often perhaps...

    Honey, why do you drag so much stuff along?

    Took about 16 years, but now all the staff we take for the 2 of us for a 3 week trip fits in a 80l backpack that I have since I was still in school :). Little wins, take it slow, start with "you really need a full bottle of body lotion thing for a 2 nights trip" , "if you put so much...
