Interesting: all this talk of never going out alone. That’s all my wife and I did for a couple of decades. Out alone, with paper maps, and our backpacks, just in case we had to walk away. About 10 years ago we started carrying a PLB. Just last year I finally dumped the CB radio for a GMRS...

thanks for your post, this will be my first camper. I occasionally go off roading but I guess i don't need to be in crazy tight spaces as an beginner overlander. Here in California must be plenty of places to used. thanks again.

@enriquerrr I have never had or used either type, nor any sort of camping trailer. However, strictly in terms of physics and logic, a 5x8 will be lighter and smaller, making it easier to pull with a lightweight vehicle, at the expense of interior space for onboard equipment and occupants. If...

I second the journey not the destination for the best experience. If we are not hosting a trip with others, almost all of our adventures start with no destination in mind, most with just a general direction and unfortunately a time deadline to return back to the grind. Some of our very...

I thought I'd start a thread for people to post details about books they have read that inspired them to get into overlanding. Here are three from my own bookshelf I have selected. They all have an Australian slant of some kind: 1. African Adventure (A Senile Safari), Hazel Barker 1995. By the...

Totally agree. I just see a lot folks marking camping spots on YouTube that I would love to visit and camp as well however most are seasoned folks with vast knowledge of the areas. I thought it would be a good idea to share those areas and I’m sure some but as I have researched it’s becoming...

If I understand the question " the required technology to ensure I maintain a comprehensive journey", it sounds like you're asking how to get where you want to go, do what you want to do, and maybe record some data from the excursion. If that's the case, it doesn't have to be too complicated or...

Still working through things on the truck, though my pace has greatly slowed down due to other life factors. I have the coolest thing now, a "smart" rearview mirror which not only works as a normal mirror but has given me a front a rear camera (with lines), hands free calling, navigation and...

We just got back from a 10 day trip with our Jeep and Tentrax. I’m curious if I should bring the Tentrax to the meet and greet. Will there be sufficient room to park it?

Great write up Bjoern, thanks for sharing it

Great setups here. Thanks for sharing. Well, then I like to show mine too. LR Defender 110 2.4 Puma Meanwhile about 12 years old and nearly 400,000km or 250,000 miles on the clock. And I am still as happy with it as on the first day. It has taken us all over Europe, North America, Central and...

Technology and all the new fabrics, composites, lighter, smaller, more powerful batteries, gear, etc., has made things exponentially more comfortable, safe, efficient, allowing more time to explore, relax, FISH! The good old days as a kid when a heavy, smelly army surplus tent and sleeping...

Sounds like a blast. I’m not able to make the Friday night camp, but I would love to link up at Palouse Falls and go from there if possible.

I know this is an older thread but I believe both Kenwood and Pioneer have AM/FM/Nav systems. These are more for street navigation and not off road. I use a tablet for navigations in my Frontier. There are apps available that will allow for off-line navigation such as Sygic or Gia that allows...
