    Charlotte NC meet up

    There’s Sweet Union Brewery out near you that looks pretty good. Haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but the beer menu looks good and the satellite view shows a big parking lot. Not sure if they have food, but I’m happy with drinking my calories. I’m out of town until the 6th but could...

    There’s a few of us in CLT. Should be able to get something going.

    North Carolina

    That’s news to me. We always camp at the bottom along the stream.

    Last time I was there we had a good time. Wish they allowed camping at the top. Nice run.

    What do you use to store all your gear?

    Those look like a good size. I tried to find them on the site, but couldn’t. Do you know the size?

    What do you use to store all your gear?

    I’ve had the weathershields on my roof rack in strong rain with no problems. The little blue latch on the side isn’t as strong as something you’d find on a better case, so take care of them. I’ve been thinking of drilling out the plastic peg and putting a metal one in place.

    What do you use to store all your gear?

    I use the same. They’re great. Bought them for around $6 a piece. 3 of them stacked on top of each other make a good side table.

    Flooding in Western NC 5/18

    Ran about 30% of the FS roads around Wilson’s Creek and Linville Gorge. Mostly in decent shape. Make sure you’ve got gloves, an axe, and saw with you. Also, check to make sure your winch doesn’t need servicing.

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    I’ve got a TJ as well, so I’ll look here or someplace else, but I’d love to swap some ideas on tips and tricks.

    First Lessons Learned

    Lots of good advice. Long time backpacker, less than 2 years overlanding. Finding that a lot of backpacking lessons learned translate. For overlanding: - first aid kit and know how to use it - extraction gear and know how to use it - know your vehicle and make the call on what tools, parts...

    Plow Disc Cooking

    Thanks Gents. There was a version 1 that didn’t turn out so well, but that’s part of it. Tinkering is part of the fun. Going to try popcorn on the disc next. Cinnamon rolls were a big hit.

    Plow Disc Cooking

    Nice, I think i grabbed the 22” one. Mine has handles. I used 3 pieces of 3/4” EMT and made a tripod and used some cable to lock it to the right tripod diameter. I’m using a Coleman single burner from Walmart to heat it. Packs up small and I’ve had a blast cooking on it over the weekend...

    Plow Disc Cooking

    Funny, I may have just picked up the same disc from the same farming supply store. Any pics of how yours came out. I'm putting mine together now.

    Old Nc 105

    Was up there last Sunday as well. Finishing up a backpacking trip. Muddier than usual due to the rains.

    Best Places to OL in NC?

    Hurricane should be nice and slippery after the rain. Have fun. Stay to the right on that first water crossing.

    Camp Poop (sorry for the bluntness but I want to know)

    Backpacker before I discovered Overlanding. A trowel and unscented TP. 6" cathole dug way off the beaten path. Wetwipes back at camp, packed out. Similar approach for overlanding.

    North Carolina

    Bummed I missed the Smoky Mtn overland rally. Forgot about it and didn’t remember until a few of you posted. I don’t see a thread on here or anyplace else. How was it? Anyone posting their recaps anywhere? This forum or others? Thanks
