    Share Your Christmas Loot - Overland Edition

    Coleman two burner camp stove. Now I have to get started on building the camp kitchen. For all the newbies to cast iron, the best place to find cooking with cast iron information is in the living history hobby. Jas Townson & Son has some really good books and they do their own videos. They also...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I second that Rob. I lived in Europe during the time when Americans were killed or kidnapped almost on a daily basis, Americans were the primary target for any and all terrorist groups no matter how large or small. If I didn't consider owning or carrying a weapon then, I see no reason to now. I...

    OutdoorX4 Magazine Issue 11 Has Released

    I normally don't do subscriptions because the material gets damaged while in the postal system but I keep missing issues. I was very surprised when I received my first issue in the mail, it was protected in an envelope. That is going above and beyond, good job. I enjoyed your article on...

    What's in your Winter Kit?

    Winter, what is that? Oh, I remember, that is when we have to wear long sleeve shirts. Hey, you guys have all the great places right in your backyard, let me poke a little fun about wearing shorts and t-shirts in December.

    Photography

    Let me throw in on this but don't laugh. Fuji XP. The majority of our pictures are either out the window at what ever speed or while hiking. We wanted something that can handle being in the cupholder on the trail or getting rained on while on the trail. The copilot takes most of the pictures but...

    Fuel Prices: The Overlander's Friend

    There are lots of people who buy Jeeps who think its only for mudding. There are lots of people who buy 4x4's (even here in Fl) who never see so much as gravel. Just as there are lots of people who go camping but stay in the same spot the whole time (often just sitting around the campsite). I...

    Southeast?

    I second that motion. Florida here, which means to get anywhere we have to go through Georgia and North Georgia to get to anything remotely interesting.

    Overlanding creates new driving habits?

    I have noticed the same thing. I have also noticed I hate driving on the interstate anymore, if I can I will drive the back roads or the coast road. One other thing I have noticed (little off subject) is that since I got this Jeep I have most of the people at work coming up to me at various...

    Why Overlanding and/or What is it to you

    I was reading over the Overland Bound Guidelines and thought with the way it started out it would be a good place to talk about why we as individuals do it or what it means to us. We traveled quite a bit in our younger years and although it was almost all international travel we are far from...

    Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

    We ran across it while doing a map search. From what I have seen and read so far most everything is accessible only by foot but it looks like a must visit. This will give us a chance to try out some of our new hiking gear as well as some of the new camping stuff. I do have my eye on a few trails...

    Watching where you step

    I spent several years in the Customs world so I should have thought of this one before I saw a couple posts online that "reminded" me. Firewood. I know most of us don't have room to take firewood with us but, please don't. Use deadfall in the local area. Transporting firewood from one region of...

    Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

    We are doing a spring trip to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (didn't know we had a national river) in the spring. This trip will involve breaking a few rules by parking the Jeep for three days while we do some "Foot Dependent Travel". It would appear there is some amazing...

    Do you pay by the pound? What is the going rate?

    Watching where you step

    FourWheeler magazine was nice enough to post the perfect example for this discussion on their Facebook page. Some guy and his girlfriend were running the power line trails in search of their beloved mud. After getting stuck, and then recovered by a company they called, they were charged with...

    Watching where you step

    I have been part of several Jeep and Off Road clubs over the past few years and was told repeatedly about “Tread Lightly”. In each of these clubs they promote “Tread Lightly” and everyone talks about it or points out things other people have done when they were not following “Tread Lightly”. But...

    2016 Destination Wishlist

    Continue our Appalachian trip, this year the northern part. I want to go back to the ATC so we will probably high ball it (hate the idea) up to Harpers Ferry to save time. From Harpers Ferry run up to Baxter State Park in Maine, spend a day to hike the five miles up Mount Katahdin. On the way...

    Why do I love my Jeep so much?

    I agree it is not necessarily the brand, I had a '12 Liberty (KK) before my Wrangler (JKU) and didn't have quite the same feel with the KK. With the Wrangler I have what I term a "who cares" attitude when I get in it. I don't mean I don't care about others around me, i.e. being rude, it is along...
