  • 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.

    OB Approved US Comms - An Introduction to your communication options

    The club I ride with is using CB with no plans to change, so I'm going to install CB in the cab , but I would like to avoid having to install multiple antennas. Would I be able to use a CB antenna (which is longer) with a GMRS or HAM transceiver? Or, is there a mount that can host either...

    Any Exped Megamat Max Owners?

    Wow, that Exped Max Duo 15 must be like sleeping on a cloud...I'd be anxious to try the others if they're even more comfortable than the REI Camp Dreamer. I have to agree that the pillow-pump that comes with it is pretty useless. I just put my mouth to the valve and gave it about 5 full breaths...

    Any Exped Megamat Max Owners?

    I recently went in to my local REI to buy an Exped Duo, but they were out. The Rep there recommended their in-house brand "Camp Dreamer" which was about $80 less expensive than their price for the Exped. I was told it was the same manufacturer with a similar design; one way inflate and one way...

    Camp Table

    I have an older version of the same one. The higher table is about 32" high and very comfortable height to cook at.

    Any Exped Megamat Max Owners?

    Glad I stumbled on this thread as I was just looking around for a camp mattress. Sounds like the megamat is highly recommended. How does it compare to the Klymit?

    Resolved How do I

    Oh man....I wish you would! I've thought about a trip up into CA, and would appreciate trusted advice. My current leaning was to go up in through Niagara and around to Montreal and then back down in to the US, but turning left and going around Lake Huron and back down through Michigan would be...

    Resolved How do I

    I can understand your feeling on this. I guess for the more competitive among us, it could turn in to that. I'm new here, but I think it's a good way to build community - online. IRL (in real life) it's easier to look around the neighborhood and see/know who's helpful, etc AND who's the cranky...

    National forest service annual pass

    I believe the Access Pass is for anyone with a disability. Not just reserved for Veterans.

    New to overland and need some direction.

    My first 4x4 was a Nissan. It was a small truck, but got me where I needed to go and was so light, I never got stuck. It was reliable...not sure how Nissans rank in that area these days. You might consider listing all the attributes you want in the new vehicle (e.g. number of seats, wheel base...
