    The Best Explanation Of Overlanding I've Read

    That is the very trip we are planning for later this year. Not sure if we will drive the AK Hwy back or ferry from Haines, still in the planning but the ferry sounds king of interesting. Made a good chunk of the Haul Road on my Harley in 2003, would also like to go back and complete that one...

    The Best Explanation Of Overlanding I've Read

    I think a lot of what is in the article jives with some of my thoughts in that I think "overlanding" involves a component of discovery and (for me) discomfort both mental and physical. For the definition of the article that discovery revolves around a level of overlanding that few will actually...

    Here we go AGAIN! JK unlimited inbound!

    Our 2015 JKU has 35s and a 3.5 inch AEV lift. I agree that the combo is nearly perfect for what we like to do and the tire weights/lift angles are not (knock on wood) going to cause failures down the road without additional very expensive mods. Drives like a charm on the highway and has not had...

    Garmin TREAD

    I have been curious the difference. I grabbed an Overlander on sale and connect it to my In-Reach device. It seems this unit combines the two into a single unit. I used the Overlander last year but honestly ended up using my GAIA for most of the off-road stuff due to the greater ease of...

    Air compressor for 35" tires

    I use this kit-it is strong enough to reinflate 4 35s with no break and has been reliable. It may not be the fastest on the market but I do think it is a great QPR...

    Anyone For Meatless Meals While Tripping?

    I have been eating more vegetarian type dishes over time and I have been really surprised how a bit of creativity and spices can result in some spectacular dishes.

    Anyone For Meatless Meals While Tripping?

    That is a great steer and I actually have tomato powder in the pantry but I have not used it yet. I have been thinking of ways to put it to use especially as I have been looking at ways to avoid a cooler/fridge when traveling in the Jeep.

    Anyone For Meatless Meals While Tripping?

    UPDATE-It just dawned on me that the entire recipe/ingredients are not visible when watching the video from inside the forum-I put the ingredients at the bottom. I know there are a few vegetarians on the forums here and while I am not one of them it doesn't mean I don't like to mix it up from...

    Scottles Worth the Price?

    I have always been intrigued by the Tembo Tusk but have never made the mental leap to purchase one as I could never (in my mind) make sense of the true utility versus ofther items I already own (griddle, skillet, stove etc). All that being said I was intrigued when the iKamper Disco Series...

    E3 Overland

    I just read a link attached to a GAIA email that references E3 Overland which is somehow connected to the Trail Recon You Tube Channel. When I looked at it is seemed to be a really expensive (monthly $20-$70/mo) and seems to have some educational aspect and conferences. Anyone here have any...

    Camp gear storage.

    We take our tent and related sleeping gear in a large water resistant duffle bag and leave any wet stuff out in a perforated stuff sack. For other gear we use alu-box or zarges cases. For the most part everything is kept in their cases while in storage but I always go over the packing list...

    How do you transport your fishing rod?

    After breaking a few guides off my rods carrying them in my Jeep we went ahead and bought travel rods that break down and fit into their cases (harder to find a case for my spinning rod than for casting rod). I then just velcro the cases to my roll bar. We also bought a bigger rod case that can...

    Downhill driving help!

    The use of lower gear is definitely the right way to go and a light touch on the brakes. That is the reason that you have to stop part way down Pike's Peak for the brake check, people using brakes instead of gears to control their speed on descent and overheating the brakes. This was a great...

    Jackery vs Yeti

    I have no dog in the hunt for any brand really and expect they are all pretty solid units. That being said when I purchased I bought the Bluetti for the simple fact it used the Lithium Iron battery which can be recharged (their claim) up to 2,500 times and still retain 80%. Assuming all other...
