I had decent resolution when out in my Bend trip at the end of May when I was out of service areas. Although I didn’t have road names in a few places…

Thank you for the correction….

Fire Extinguishers are required by the NFS and State Forestry departments when venturing off of paved roads. So they should always be in the vehicle… if you don’t have a fire extinguisher, an Axe, Shovel, and one gallon of water is allowed to be substituted. recovery straps- yes they are even...

Bare minimum Overlanding is where I’m at 90% of the time. My gear list changes slightly depending upon length of trip, where we will be going, and the weather forecast. My Basic Gear List that doesn’t change: Sleeping bags Air mattress(es) Backpacking 8’x 10’ tarp Backpacking stoves (I carry...

I second everything you said… and Will Prowse has an amazing story to tell. I have not found a better YouTuber for breaking down solar DIY than Will. And his reviews of products are spot on.

Will Prowse of DIY Solar just did a review of your he Jackery 1500… and he put it with the rest of the Jackery line… CRaaP.

OB official CB is channel 11, local channel is 21 and/or 22 the official OB ham frequency is 146.460, official calling frequency is 146.520 (and most non OB members monitor 146.52 for simplex) GMRS is 15 like Steve said, except Washington has repeaters on channel 15, so we moved to channel 16...

My fridge stays in 24/7 but then again it’s a 12v and 110v fridge.

Same place I get all my cable as well.

awesome 2nd Gen, very clean looking FSB. Personally the 78 is my favorite year of the FSB.

40 amp fuse and 6 gauge wire for the dcdc controller would be fine… except that you then can’t use the house battery as an auxiliary start battery in case of emergency.

What are you planning on running off of your second battery. 70 Amp is kind of small for a main fuse on the second battery. If all you are doing is running a fridge, or a set of lights (not both) this would be fine… but if more than 1 high amp draw circuit 70 amp isn’t going to be enough...

Colorado, Whyoming, and Montana are part of US Rocky Mountain Region. @Neal A. Tew is the Director. Oregon, Washington, and Idaho is the US Northwest Region. I am the Director for the region. eastern Oregon and eastern Washington are both closed down due to forest fires and extreme dry...

Never mind MURS is limited to a maximum of 2 watts of power regardless of modulation… so even a Baofeng UV5R is too powerful for legal MURS operation. You would be better off just running a CB or getting your GMRS license for convoy coms and a FRS hand held transceiver for spotting. Better yet...

You would be very familiar with programming a Kenwood transceiver then. SINCGARS operate just under the 2m band. Give me a day to look into a few mobile units that operate on the MURS frequencies.

Legally you need two different radios, one for GMRS and one for MURS. For an all inclusive radio the Baofeng UV series radios are your cheapest option. There are also Chinese made mobile radios that can be unlocked with programming to operate on GMRS/MURS frequencies, but they are primarily...
