    Your Overlanding Style

    I've been bushwacking for 40 years up and down the Rocky Mountains. I married a city girl, so she is into creature comforts, hence the teardrop. I designed it to accommodate a queen size mattress and it has full galley. I even have a heater and air conditioner, and just for her, satellite TV...

    Your Overlanding Style

    I like my teardrop. It is equally well suited on the highway or on extreme off road.

    Who overlands for the purpose of photography?

    I just sold off my like new Gossen Luna Pro with spot meter since I am not doing that any more. What does 4x5 color film cost these days? I would hate to guess how much 8x10 runs.

    Who overlands for the purpose of photography?

    What film do you shoot? Do you do your own processing and printing? I loved my 4x5 and 8x10 but it just got too expensive. I shot a Linhof indoors and a Toyo 4x5 field camera out and about.

    Overland Trailers

    My sig contains a pix of my trailer and a link to the build thread. It is located in Northern Colorado, but sadly I am working on a contract in the DC area and had to leave it home. Hope to fly back for a while this summer and get out and use it.

    Question for those in or around Durango, Co

    While Durango is nice, the best scenery is north, as in Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride.

    Insurance companies are a pain in the ###

    Too bad it is so hard across the pond. Here I called my local insurance agent and we had an agreed valuation policy written in an hour. I insured both my rig ($25,000) and trailer($15,000). It was pretty cheap. It ran $115 USD for the trailer a year and around $500 USD for the vehicle with...

    Who overlands for the purpose of photography?

    That is the kind of stuff I do for a living. I have a nice controlled turntable that I mount my Nikon on and step the turntable and computer control the camera. I also have a nice scotch mount for doing astro pix. It aligns with the north star and has sidereal tracking.
