    Tread Lightly 101 Online Awareness Course

    Always a good course, even as a refresher. Good on you. I have mine too.

    Death Valley 2020; Spring Overlanding

    I just guided two overlanding tours through Death Valley (with ModernJeeper) with some lessons learned about the desert: 1. Always expect wind. 2. Have a practiced, camp set-up system and always use it. 3. Make sure everyone in your group has a good, working radio that they can hear. 4...

    Windy Desert Cooking

    On a recent Death Valley overlanding trip, we hit wind a few nights -- I mean WIND.! Cooking my coffee in the bright and ugly morning was a challenge. My old school gear was marginal. But I found a fix to get my pot to perk. I know. It's kinda hokey. But I had hot coffee in near...

    I just returned from a 10-day overlanding trip to Death Valley. The biggest lesson I learned, dragging a 1/4 ton trailer and camping in a tent-cot, is: Have a system and Always use it!

    The Future of Overlanding; What Can One Person Do?

    You are more than welcome, anyone, to always share my stuff to any off-road/overland/four-wheeling/adventure site or group -- as long as they are on our side to keep our access open! Thanks. FB groups are a good choice to supplement what we do here on OLB.

    The Future of Overlanding; What Can One Person Do?

    For sure! I can tell you, if you want to get brave, invest a little time, find out where "these people" hang out. (smile). It's probably not here on OLB. Find the forums or FB pages where they seem to be posting, and start setting the example that way -- and offering up education. Then BE...

    The Future of Overlanding; What Can One Person Do?

    Set the example! If you're going to stop reading this here, this is a good place to stop -- if you are setting the example on our trails, in our lifestyle, you are doing the BEST that you can do. Is there more? Sure. Read on. Accept the fact that we will always have the ill-informed or the...

    Organizing a Trail Guardian Cleanup Event

    One person; one overlander; one concerned citizen can always make a difference -- and that is where it starts. Once you set the example, make the effort, and take that extra step (like cleaning up someone else's campfire mess), you have shown the world that there are doors open and...

    Bubble Trailer for Overlanding?

    Wow, that thing is cute. One thing about fiberglass -- it's easy to repair and you don't have to know how to weld! Boat repair kit is all you need in those rare instances.

    US West Burro Schmidt Tunnel & Old Dutchman Cleanser Mine

    You probably don't want to hear about "days gone by" but I offer this in the hopes that you always take plenty of good pics on your adventures. And keep track of your notes and encounters. I did the tunnel almost 30 years ago when Evelyn Tonie Seger was still alive and living in the nearby...

    Poll: Trail Guardian type work weekend; Feed you or Fend for yourself?

    When it comes to food, combined with overlanding-camping out, added in to a work weekend like our Trail Guardian program...what is your choice ? 1. Feed me at least one big meal, group style; the rest of the time I'm good on my own. 2. I just like doing my own food; no need to feed me. 3. Feed...
