    Sharing locations

    I saw a scary video last night on YT, O*****nd L**y went to a DOOF, somewhere around Yosemite. I watched 'cause I never heard the term DOOF before. It appears to be a rave held out in the boonies. From Wikipedia; " A doof or bush doof is a type of outdoor dance party generally held in a remote...

    Overlanding in a small economy car

    S/how do you carry paper maps and books?

    I'll be the first to admit my 109 is not weathertite, not like a new car at all. If I want to hit the trail for multiple State, long time travel I have to take into consideration potential damage to maps and books. Even if it was weathertite there is still a storage issue and daily wear-n-tear...

    RTT ( roof top tents)

    I did something like this 30 years ago. My Eureka Timberline tent has the same footprint as my Land Rover roof. I had a roofrack and put 3/4 ply and could set the tent on it. I drilled holes into the edge of the ply and made 1/4" OD steel hooks to slide in and hold the stake loops. I made longer...

One side I have sitting on hooks I made to hold it up and on the inside I made a front bracket to hold that and a leg/foot and a spreader bar. These just fit into holes in the pipe. I can roll up the inside...
