    Do I really need to bring extra gas?

    Series Land Rovers come with a 12 gal tank, under the right seat and petrol engines get 13-18mpg depending and diesels that get 15-20mpg. Death Valley has 600 miles of roads and 3 fuel stations centrally located, one of which does not sell diesel(or didn't last time I was there), it is easy to...

    "What the FWOK? is that?"

    Love me some DIY projects too, what's that weigh though? Looks good for home, not so good to tote around on the road? Great idea on the horseshoes!

    Help planning from Eugene to Yosemite following Sierra Nevada GPX

    Unless you have reason to go to Eugene, I'd stay along the coast and turn left after Big Sur. Lots of State and National parks, great views. You could turn left at Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd, camp along the old coast Rd if N-F is open.

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    Well my motorcycle gets 55mpg. 650 Vstrom, capable of some off roading. I've only done the occasional fire road so far.

    Custom roof rack - need feedback!

    I can't tell what's going on in your drawing. How much weight can your bars hold? How much weight do you intend on putting on them? I made a custom rack, fully adjustable, low profile, from Super strut and gutter mounts from; Roof Racks — Gamiviti First part of the build; Land Rover 109...

    Camp saw.

    I'm considering that option also, about 6 years ago my neighbor had some trees slide into his roof, I found it easier to cut them with my corded recip saw than using the gas chainsaw. With the ability to cut both wood and metal a cordless recip is a good tool to bring. I just have to figure out...

    Camp saw.

    I came across this intriguing saw in a YT gear review. For me the ergonomics of the handle and the ability to change blades for any T blade length make it desirable. https://www.renegade-outdoor.com/product-page/lightweight-saw

    Let's talk batteries.

    9 years ago I bought a Sears, Platmium AGM deepcycle, the largest one I could fit in my battery tray. I have a dash cam and every time the Rover is bumped it comes on. The battery is still there. Since it's my daily driver the battery stays charged though during the pandemic the amount of...

    Water Management

    I live on the Pacific Coast and like to camp in Nevada. I don't travel with more than personal use for the trip water. At the final jump off town I buy water to fill my MWC cans. The reason being less weight to travel with so (hopefully) better fuel mileage.

    Help me plan my first Eastern Sierra trip?

    Big Horn campground at the Elbow; Walker River State Recreation Area | State Parks Nice, quiet, river. If you go to Mono Lake and head East on 167 there are places on either side of the road to stealth camp, most once you get past the lake.

    Lifesaver Jerrycan

    So how does that Lifesaver filter work? It has to draw water from the bottom to get as much water out of the can. Any holes in the vertical inner tube would stop the water draw and only bring in air at that level. Is the filter only using the bottom, say 1" for filtering? Never mind, I just...
