When I'm hammock camping, I use their underquilt in the winter. It was the best mix of price/quality/warmth. I've slept with their underquilt, a 25F sleeping bag, and a rainfly in upper 20F weather and actually got pretty warm. I had to leave my sleeping bag slightly unzipped to keep from sweating!

This is the tent that we use when my fiance and I go camping together in the summer (which in louisiana is 80% of the year). The fact that it is mesh on all 4 sides keeps us pretty cool. The rainfly has an opening on two sides, which means you don't have to climb over each other in the middle of...

This is one of the few things that I worry about when I'm out doing a through hike. I'm not too worried about wildlife because I grew up hunting on a large property and grew to respect/understand animals. People, on the other hand, I fear I will never understand them. I always have my fiance...

Now that you say that, a couple years ago I did the primitive trail at Clark's creek. It whooped my butt! The regular short trail is pretty nice though, and I wouldn't mind hitting it up while we're there Sent from my toaster using OB Talk mobile app

My fiance and I (and maybe two others that aren't on the site) are planning on heading to Homochitto 7/6 and staying until 7/8. I'm thinking we can meet up at the Clear Springs rec area and ride from there, or maybe even stay there the first night to go over the MVUM together (See the link...

We went fishing in the sound for lady fish and red fish from our kayaks. Definitely weren't trying to provide for dinner or anything, which is good cause they sure weren't biting. Kind of bummed that I left my carbon fiber paddle sitting on the boat launch and drove off with out it Sent from my...

Then let's do Homochitto, that should be a happy medium between us travel wise. I'll do some research tonight to see what their rules are and the better trails to go down. Anyone else interested in tagging along? Sent from my toaster using OB Talk mobile app

Will do! I think we've removed Kisatchie from the list, but we've also added Homochitto. I'm still leaning towards Desoto since I'm already a little familiar with it from my through-paddle of the park at the beginning of the year. Do you have any trails marked up good for camping? Or do you camp...

Welcome to OB! I've got some kin folk in West Monroe, I may have to hit you up when I'm in town. Does the Cat Rec guys allow camping overnight? I've dug and couldn't find anything on it Sent from my toaster using OB Talk mobile app

Looking into the company, it seems like they have plenty of options and add-ons to make a very nice system. Y'alls setups look like what I'm shooting for, especially if I add an extra arm to move the screens closer to the dash for passenger comfort. Also, I really like the idea of mounting the...

What brand mount is that? That looks almost exactly like what I had in mind

So I'm looking into mounts for my wife's iPad for use during overlanding and touring. There are a lot of brands out there, but a lot of them seem to assume that you never want to have access to your radio. Does anyone have any experience with any companies specializing in mounts on a swivel arm...

Here are a couple of pictures of how it looks with the spacers. Everything else about the car is stock, but this should give you a good idea of how it will look.

Since July 4th is coming up, does anyone have any plans for the following weekend? My buddy and I are thinking about heading to either Desoto NF or Kisatchie NF, assuming we can track down the coolant leak on his Exploder.

Not something that I had learned overlanding, but still pertains to the subject: Bring enough food/water to last you one or two days longer than you plan to be out there. My hunting camp is only accessible by boat and its about a 30 minute ride from the landing. One weekend, the fuel line sprung...

Due to the lack of off roading in my area, my fiance and I are weekend warriors. If we make the drive out to somewhere with decent campable trails, we're not going to want to make the drive back the same day!

Sure thing! I haven't had the chance to re-torque them (and I kind of feel bad about it lol). I've been in the middle of moving, so pulling the tires back off haven't really been in the forefront of my mind. Its most likely all that it really needs since I don't recall a vibration when I first...

Man that looks great! Definitely seems like it would be much more off road worthy to me! So fun story about the Protune kit: apparently the seller I bought it from didn't know that the kit was on back order. They canceled my order and sent back my money without saying a word to me, so I'm not...

Is that with the speedometer corrected? If not, you may not have even lost a full MPG since the vehicle is traveling farther than it thinks it is per tire rev. Also, I just bit the bullet and ordered the Protune kit since I had a large amount of Amazon points. I'll be the guinea pig on this...

@ru108 Oh cool! I'm back and forth between my office in Norco and Baton Rouge. I drive a red Jeep Grand Cherokee with kayak racks on top because I'm too lazy to take them off after I use them haha. I'm usually putting around Airline in Pville and Gonzales. I'm not too much into the mud riding...
