I agree. I remember 2019 I was going trough what you are going trough now. I had big plans for it. I ordered a new vehicle and frenetically getting ready and researching for my first trip in Africa, Morocco. The German dealer told me about some possible delays in delivery, I went crazy...

Yes, on the south side, deeper in Sahara. But since the ferry from Tunis to Italy, at least recently, was canceled, the only way to reach Tunis is via Algeria. Cross in to Morocco> Algeria>Tunisia. If Covid restrictions lift there, maybe the ferry line to Tunis will function again, who...

I would add Algeria as well, though travel in the south part is restricted, there is still plenty to see.

The security situation is deteriorating globally. You can still go to Armenia, Georgia, very beautiful countries. From there you cna break out towards the "stans ", but it will be increasingly difficult. You can also go to Iran. In Iran you can probably spend half a year easy, it is...

I reached about the same conclusion. All this devices like Yeti, Jackery and other Chinese siblings have a huge flaw - the charging time. They can't absorb even the 10 amps that a 12v cigarette plug can deliver. On solar is not much better. The ECo Flo thing is really the best option out...

more miles you do, and for towing, a diesel in general makes more sense. But of course it depends on use case... and not all diesels are created equal.. I have 3l v6 diesel I get about 11l/100 km, that is about 21 mpg. when I am fully loaded. It can get even better fuel economy, but on...

It is great when the family shares your hobby. Good luck for the future travels.

MIght not be directly related to this, but at least in Europe most 4x4 are diesels with a huge down low torque, so many people don't fell the need to go low when off-roading, unless there is a very difficult terrain, or big slopes. This is a mistake, specially on vehicles with an automatic...

Downhill issues were the main reason I switched my Subaru Forester to a true 4x4 with a low gear transfer case. While with a simple AWD vehicle with decent ground clearance like a forester, Outback you can visit many places and have a lot of fun, descending long slopes in a controlled...

Have you considered a tent ? or maybe you plan to do winter trips and want more shelter.. Or even a 4x4 Van might be a better option for you.

For me it is a bit weird that you don't fit in a big SUV maybe 2 persons + 2 dogs, considering you plan to have a trailer as well. Of course each person has different needs, but I would guess most of the camping stuff will be in the trailer. You have many options as capable big SUV in...

Viair are not bad, they are pretty durable.

So I started to install the electrical cable from the engine bay to the trunk. Took me a while to find a passage, and I was not happy with the route under the car. I had a suitable size cable, good even for 100 amp that I had on my Hilux, a longer car. For some reason, to my total...

You guys made me want to try it. I live on continental Europe , so Spam is not so easy to find, never seen it in the supermarkets. So I go on Amazon and it is 9.50 euro for a can, almost 12 US $/ can . I can get some nice shrimp for this kind of money :) Anyway, one of the reviews was...

So now I need to make room for a new member of the family . Finn - a Labrador puppy :)

Impressive. I wish I had the skill to build that. Since I don't I hope when the day comes to buy them my wife will not divorce me.. :)

For recovery, you can get a shovel and some recovery boards. I traveled with those years now and they were enough, I used them about 3 or 4 times. With this 2 tools, you can get our of pretty much anything except river crossing. Of course a winch, or even better traveling with a group...

Repairs in the field.. not very practical and not many people can do them. Most people carry maybe some spare belts and a very specific part they know it is a weak point on the vehicle, and even that only on very long trips. That you can research on specific forums for your particular...

Good start . Just go out there and enjoy, that is the main thing., I have been to Serbia, but briefly, only in transit. But looked great, definitely worth more time. Next holiday maybe . Welcome.
