  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Guess Where We Were?

    Yes it is the Alabama Hills. Hopefully they were not too shook up by the recent earth quakes!

    Guess Where We Were?

    Before the COVID crisis the wife and I traveled into the US covering about 7500 kilometers (4700 miles more or less). We love the sun and sand (and water) so took a break from Old Man Winter. I just went through my picks and decided to post a few of these to see if other Overlanders could...

    14 Earthquakes and Aftershocks along 395,

    Hope all is ok around Lone Pine. We traveled through there in February (south from Lake Tahoe) and spent a few days at Lone Pine and Alabama Hills - great area and a fantastic museum about movie history in the area. A must see for Overlanders. ?? Maybe the Death Valley is getting lower? Also a...

    Any Hunters Among Us?

    Our draw results are not out yet. Did manage to get drawn for 3 walleye fish tags in a very productive lake so will be after those shortly. The issue we have with moose hunting are these big furry critters. Ran into 5 in two days and not the least bit afraid. Hoping for another one of these...

We added an R Pod 179 RV and in minutes I added a dual battery system, 200 watt solar/MPPT, improved 12 volt circuitry. Now for the Tundra...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    So there have been big changes in our world. The Tacoma in the picture is gone and replaced with a 2019 Tundra Off Road - dual cab. I/we decided on an R Pod trailer that I have modified for off-grid outings (dual batteries, 200 watts solar, MPPT, improved 12 volt system) and I am now adding to...

    First Aid Questions and Suggestions Post Here

    I believe the right answer is to properly identify the snake so the medical personnel can apply the correct anti-venom. This may include dispatching the critter and bringing it in (same with spider bites/scorpion bites or any critter that bites and results in a serious reaction).

    In Reach and SPOT - CAUTION

    I think there are a couple or more issues with the process. 1 being satellite constellations. 2 being are the signals sometimes being scrambled? 3 reception in the north is not what it is closer to the equator and 4 - how effective is the transfer of the message to local agencies? We have used...

    Fozzy - we went through the same dilemma. RTT - Ok in Africa, warm weather, easy set up but the up/down ladder thing got old. Here in cold/mixed weather - not so great. Expedition Trailer - Echo brand from ZA worked well and had the amenities with reasonable set up and tear down times - easy to...
