    Cheap filter.

    MSR is a proven brand. I’ve had aN MSR whisper lite stove for almost 30 years although not much of it is still original it does exactly what’s its supposed to and is stupid simple. It’s well used. As for the filter it would totally depend on the application? My only complaint with the filter...

    What is your Overlanding Pet Peeve?

    What is that one thing that you really find annoying while out camping / Overlanding? Is it something that is just irritating, or ruin your whole trip? I’m pretty laid back but like most, I have one. I’ll wait and see if it comes up in the comments.

    Cheap filter.

    Looking back hilariously since the stuff literally purges all the fluid out of your body with explosive force. By the second day on the trail you lose any sense of vanity you may have had and are just in awe of what your body is capable of. At least I was, my girlfriend was pretty sure she was...

    Cheap filter.

    Side note: if you ever want to dump weight faster then any fad diet just give yourself a dose of cryptosporidium and then hike 2-3 days into the Cascades. Guaranteed or your money back!

    Cheap filter.

    A belly full of these guys in the 90’s made me totally reevaluate my potable water game. I take it pretty serious these days.

    Using rigs during bad weather or natural disasters

    We have a legend in our county that did that to a vehicle that had flipped on the highway. The catch was the injured driver was still in the vehicle when he hooked up to it and pulled it over. The ambulance rolled up right as the tires hit the pavement. They figure he was more trashed from being...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Unfortunately the internet gives some that green light to act like a d-bag and say things they would never to say to someone’s face. Its not worth the time or energy and ignoring them is the best response since all they are after is the attention. I like to clown and will be the first to make...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    You are welcome and I absolutely agree with the point of the forum and sharing information. There are a lot of people here that have much more experience than I do in certain areas and it’s why I’m here. I just happen to be well versed in firearms and bat$hit crazy women. Side note, had a...

    Shotgun, Pistol, wait? how did we end up here? :laughing: I think you nailed it on how women are wired, sure there are the random ones that don’t fit the mold but they are rare. Of the ones I known or have known that truly favor the nomadic or adventure lifestyle they are independent enough to...

    Using rigs during bad weather or natural disasters

    I think anyone that spends a good amount of time in the backcounty quickly understands the importance of self reliance. Or they don't and they and up having to be rescued or die :laughing: I think you will also find that many people in fields that involve rescuing the ill prepared also do...

    Using rigs during bad weather or natural disasters

    Its not just Florida, its people everywhere. The attitude that it will never happen because its never happened to them before. Its because accepting that it could would mean you actually have to do something to prepare and acknowledge the potential danger you could be in. "Who wants to live like...

    Using rigs during bad weather or natural disasters

    This scenario plays out every time, and every time i am amazed that people have to run out to stock up??? We have Ice and snow storms every winter that take out power and close the main roads. Of course we always ask ourselves the question "do we need anything?" An then laugh and dig the kids...
