  • 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.

    Specialty coffee setups (ultra coffee snobbery)

    Now, dammit! Ya'll gonna send me down another coffee rabbit hole! Sometimes all that motivates me to get out of bed is the thought of a good cuppa. Corandor ordered! Already had the Manual Mill Coffee Grinder.

    New to overlanding in South Dakota

    Welcome to the site. I was just looking on google maps last night at the Black Hills. Interesting area. I was through there once about 20 years ago. When I make my Grand Tour I will probably make a point to spend a few days in that area. Happy Trails!

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    And people laughed at me when I said Elon Musk has invented a weather machine to disrupt oil prices and drive up the prices and make his machines more affordable. Just keep watching :dizzy: Currently ALL the refineries in Texas are shut down due to the cold snap. Of course, they will be back up...

    Specialty coffee setups (ultra coffee snobbery)

    My current favorite is a stainless steel mesh pour over. It's great but I think it takes too much water to clean it in the field. Tried using a paper filter to aid cleanup, meh. I need to rig up a pressurized bottle to knock the grinds out? My hand grinder has heavy glass container. Bulky but...

    Water & Winter Camping

    Maybe a large thermos with warmed water? I have never shopped for thermos' so not sure what's available. I guess the cooler as a storage container is similar solution.

    Overlanding for Practicality

    You guys down there have had it hard. Glad you are surviving ok. Having most all of Texas on a separate grid was good until it wasn't. I can understand not wanting to deal with the FERC but...Maybe ya'll can setup something with Mexico! :grinning:

    Overlanding for Practicality

    What Grubworm said. Always better to have alternatives to unforeseen circumstances. Being able to easily change locations and comfortably survive has always been appealing to me. Now, if I could find a good woman that has her own rig, can tie flies, and put the lure in the right spot...I might...

    Laundry gear question

    I've been wondering about that also. I hadn't thought too much about the drying aspect though. I do have some micro fleece clothing that I really like for outdoors wear and it dries fast. Maybe layers of easy drying clothes instead of heavy cottons, etc. Wool keeps one warm when wet/damp...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    If I weren't a few days from official retirement...anyways starting a business to support my fishing and travel aspirations would be interesting if they weren't fixing to pay me to quit working! I haven't really done much hard work in several years. Kinda eased into this retirement thing. If I...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    An extra few hundo for fuel for an extended trip, while certainly not welcomed, may be worth it if it reduces the crowding. According to the stories I am hearing some of the popular destinations are a bit overrun. LOL, sitting at home has cost me more in Amazon purchases! An extra $20-30/day...

    Travel Restrictions

    Thanks! So Looking at New Mexico, coming from ANY state except Hawaii (direct flight?) you are supposed to quarantine for two weeks and not even go to the grocery store? If you are from N.M. you are OK. unless you go and come from another state. Looks like if we could all go to N.M. and...

    In over my head, so I thought I'd reach out for help

    Have fun out there! Nobody ever lies on their death bed wishing they had worked more or watched more TV! Sounds like you have a good grasp of what you want from life. Best of Everything!

    Finally Some Snow

    Hey, man! You're driving on the wrong side of the road!....Oh, never mind :grinning:

    Travel Restrictions

    Fun Fact: Life expectancy is probably much higher for people that mind their own business than ones that don't. Someone should do a research project on that. JK. If one sees a major crime they should do their civic duty and report it.

    Travel Restrictions

    So much for the "Pursuit of Happiness" and all that stuff! Where can one get mace anyway? I thought it was only pepper spray stuff available? I think I would like to have some since I found out wasp spray is ineffective. LOL, hijacking my own thread! I generally only go to places that...

    Travel Restrictions

    Who is enforcing these restrictions? Anybody planning or done any cross-country trips through these states? How are you planning around these cornteens? Enquiring minds want to know! I would like to start planning a trip through the Rockies sometime this year. I guess I can keep occupied on a...

    In over my head, so I thought I'd reach out for help

    I think you may find that your needs and priorities will change over time. Glocker is right. Don't commit to one course until you are sure that's what you need. Get out and do some adventuring and see what others are doing and where your needs are. There are so many choices! I also started...
