Every body ready? Navigation completed? Cameras ready? Rig packed up? Got your allowance? Food, water, life jacket (Florida people)? Wife? Overland Expo RECEIPT?? Ok, let's hit the road!

Welcome neighbor.

I think this was kind of in the back of our minds when we decided to get into Overlanding. My wife's aunt and uncle had a VW camper van that my wife talks about often. They traveled a lot when they were younger but now that they are retired they are going absolutely nuts. Their last trip they...

We are late bloomers, didn't get the bug until a few years ago. We got into Jeeps about six years ago but off-roading bored the crap out of us. We kept thinking there has to be more to this. About the time I got my JKU I came across Overland Journal and got curious. The more I looked into it the...

I personally like spam and egg sandwiches. The spam has to be cut thin and fried like bacon with a little Mayo on toasted Wonder Bread.

We are pulling out of NE Fl on Thursday morning. We've got back roads all the way with a lot of interesting things to explore along the way so we probably will not be pulling in until Friday afternoon. Our plan is to get there in time to get checked in and make the Happy Hour Friday night. We...

Up north on Fleming Island.

If you did . . . you likely wouldn't do it. That is what makes it interesting. Any plans for a meet up at the Expo?

If you guys are going to meet at Vogel, make sure to stop by Mountain Crossings at Neels Gap. Its a really cool outfitter located three miles south of Vogel. https://www.mountaincrossings.com/

Just want to take a minute to update you all on what we have going on with our event. We have a park in Jacksonville to host our event but had to change our date to 12 November 2016. We are getting positive feedback from almost everyone we contacted, including comments like "I've never heard of...

We just back from a trip to northeastern Tn, Big South Fork and Cumberland Gap. It was a killer trip I would recommend to anyone.

Day 5 we finished Big South Fork with a trail hike to Yahoo Falls. Next on our list was the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park. Day 6 found us on the Ewing Trail. All I can say about the Ewing Trail is you better be in shape to take that thing on. On the way back from the Ewing Trail we...

Once again we started out in Dahlonega in north Georgia, but this time we headed northeast through the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area. I didn't think the trails would be too tough so I didn't air down. After about an hour of being beat to death, we stopped at Springer Mountain and air'd...

We are using a Coleman Instant 6 tent. Pretty quick and easy up and down. However, the wife is insisting on a RTT or a trailer with a built-in to replace it.

People, re-evaluate your priorities. What is more important, Overland Expo East or "work"?

October 7-9. We have a trip coming up shortly so haven't started any plans yet. I do know we are looking at taking off a week so we can explore going up and coming back. I am thinking we will go up through Cherokee again and hit some stuff we missed before.

The wife and I will be going. We are taking off a week so we can explore on the way up and the way back. We need to figure out how we are all going to meet up when we get there.

I think Warn Winch has the best motto for our hobby, "Go Prepared". Be it camp gear, food, water, fuel, and especially medical, its best to have too much (training or supplies) than not enough.

During my down time I watch a lot of videos to keep my spirits up, learn more about Overlanding, and get ideas for new trips. The majority of videos I watch are by Mark Doiron, I find them to be the best overall videos and, to me, gives the best view of what to expect with Overlanding. He has a...
