  • 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.

    Who here plans Overland trips around Fishing?

    Boat, swim, helicopter? Seriously, coming south it might be easier to go through Hatteras and take the free ferry to Ocracoke Island ...no wait, Cape Lookout is further south, can't drive from upper . There a a number of options from like Swan Quarter and Cedar Island. Will send PM.

    Who here plans Overland trips around Fishing?

    Have you checked out the ferry service for Cape Lookout? Never been but I know some people that go in the Fall. They make reservations way ahead. They are coming from different direction though.

    Who here plans Overland trips around Fishing?

    I have fished from Alaska to the Keys. Louisiana, Arkansas, Outer Banks, inshore, offshore, blackwater, mountain streams, ponds, lakes, mudholes. I'm not too picky. Just being there is the thing. Really wanted to fish England and Scotland when I was there a few year ago but too much else to see...

    Overland towards Aligators

    Them little ole gators wouldn't scare me. Those little guys are just sunning. They get a whole lot bigger than that. Small dogs and a stringer of fish is what they really like. Just watch that tail. That one in the middle could probably break your leg.

    Roof Rack (length/options/questions)

    Roof rack makes it harder for the bear to come through the open sun roof! Been looking at some for my Tacoma. Good ones are asspensive! I need more storage for the stuff one doesn't need everyday or hopefully not at all (recovery gear) and stuff to lock down in pelican cases. Try to stay...

    Specialty coffee setups (ultra coffee snobbery)

    So I guess I'm going to have to post a picture to keep up my skills/ego. I got this 48 oz. thermos with two screw lid at Walmart this morning while waiting to see if I was going to have a reaction to my covid shot. I didn't. $20 seems worth it. Double walled and stainless. @Road I will try...

    Should I be worried?

    Yep, I'm never truly happy unless I'm planning or in the middle of some adventure. I'll be in touch soon. BTW, like your web site. I had looked at it a couple of times in the last year. Well, got to go finish cleaning out my office...not exactly an adventure but a step towards it!

    Dispersed Camping

    I'm sure others can give more clarification. But, near as I can tell, it varies from one location/NF to the next. Some places it forbidden unless it in a designated spot. I was recently looking at Black Hills NF and it looks pretty open to off-roading and whatever. Permit may be required. Who...

    Specialty coffee setups (ultra coffee snobbery)

    Just got my colador filters recommended by @Road and it does as advertised. As a kid, I never knew coffee was anything but instant! I'll have to look for that Jacobs. I'll try anything once. Time and place for anything. Just been trying a dark roast from the Charleston Brewing Co. Threw the...

    Rooftop tent

    Yes, bigger than I need but hasn't been a problem yet. The soft top was a little too much climbing around to be out in the middle of nowhere alone. I have a little aluminum stool but I get in a hurry sometimes and just used the tire to climb up. Coming down is a little more problematic. And...

    Should I be worried?

    Funny, As you were sending this message, I was getting my first covid shot. Monday is my last official day of work. So, I'm sitting on ready, waiting on go! Most of my friends are too tied to their present lives to share much of mine. They think I'm a loner because I go off on my own a lot. My...

    Overland towards Aligators

    They are really attracted to small animals so if you have a dog running around your camp then be careful and keep them away from the water. I did a summer internship down in Okeefeenokee NWR back when I was in college (way back). They were everywhere. A five foot gator is hard to hold with...

    My First Time Overlanding Here In New Mexico

    Nice drone work! What time of year was this? Been looking at N.M. on the maps as I have never been.

    Van or truck?

    @Road is the van 2WD?

    Rooftop tent

    I've got a fold out hard top and it takes about two minutes to setup and five minutes to pack up. It's really bigger than I need but that hasn't been an issue so far. It takes me much longer to situate the bedding and put on my clothes/shoes, get the various stuff that doesn't stay up there...

    Turbo Tara's Escapade camper build.

    That's about what I get with my '17 Tacoma. Fully loaded, maybe a bit less. Love your setup. May go to that sort of rig at some point. Don't let that thing get stolen!! How do you secure it when away from camp?

    Dispersed Camping- Leaving/Returning to your camp

    I find that placing a few skulls on pikes of the vanquished around the site is an excellent deterrent. For the ones too stoopid to take this message, a motion activated recording of a racking shotgun generally gets their attention. A mean-ass dog inside your tent should only be a last...

    I just can't decide

    You can probably sell that fairly easily. Everything overlanding is hot and somewhat hard to get right now. I sold a soft top RTT much quicker than I thought I would and had to turn down one person. Tacoma stuff is probably the easiest to unload.

    New to overlanding in South Dakota

    I may do that although I don't EVEN have a timeline. Is there any trout fishing in the Black Hills? I'll google that. So much snow out west it will probably be August before half of it melts. I was initially looking at a loop from south to north up the Rockies but that may be a little too...
