    What is your favorite overland/camp stove?

    Among others, I have the one that my grandparents used when they took my mother and her siblings camping.

    Overlanding in a small economy car

    You just have to work within your limitations. A friend and I put on a ham radio transmitter hunt out in the Anza-Borrego desert. We warned the rest of the group that the hunt would take them off pavement. For most of the guys that is not much of an issue. Most drive 4wd SUVs. But the guy...

    Transporting firearms in California

    For Kali it is going to have to be no banana and no folding stock. Either one of those could be mistaken for something fun, and that is strictly verboten.

    Transporting firearms in California

    One of The Varmints made the observation that when you enter Kali you are met with inspection stations. When you enter Nevada you are met with casinos.

    Transporting firearms in California

    Kali only has laws for use on the law-abiding. All others are welcome to do as they please without consequence. And yes, they do stop people at those ag inspections. I have been asked to declare any fruits or vegetables many times. Interestingly enough, they don't seem to care if you have...

    Science is often no better than those who make guesses at tomorrow's weather. 10 Animals Science Said Were Extinct, But Aren't And that is by no means a comprehensive list.

    Oh, that is perfect. "While Toyotas struggle the Jeep Grand Biden just falls to the top."

    Bigfoot

    No question in my mind. Bigfoot travels in a space ship. Catch a UFO and you will have caught Bigfoot too. :smirk:

    So far from spring. Forecast 2-4 feet of snow.

    You are going to make The Varmints jealous.

    A Delicate Question

    Road's note about minimizing what you pack in the first place is where I start. My extended trips are usually in the XJ and there isn't much room to spare (no external spare, so not external trash capacity). I try to make sure that everything we take can gracefully break down and fit into a...

    So far from spring. Forecast 2-4 feet of snow.

    I swear someone needs to get those folks a window. Working as a general contractor made me all too aware of just how bad they are at what they claim to do. Best of luck with your snowfall. I am thinking it looks a lot like spring here, toying with getting ready to do some little concrete jobs...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    I think Jeep hit a sweet spot with the XJ in the form of a solid axle unibody SUV. The subsequent ZJ and WJ are comparable in capability, but hindered by their extra features (more weight and more failure modes). When Jeep took its Cherokee (Grand Cherokee I guess) lineup into the realm of IFS...

    Boy, ain't that the truth. There are a host of places in which we need more competition.

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    I would expect their depreciation to match that of the Toyota FJ Cruiser. I suspect there will be many parallels between the two.

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    You have gotten Jeep confused with Subaru. It's very understandable. Jeep seems to have made the same mistake themselves.

    proper cargo tie down on roof rack

    One thing not mentioned: Some settling may occur in transit. After you have driven for an hour or so take the time to stop and check your straps. Odds are you will be able to cinch something down just a bit. And then check things again a few miles after you have left pavement. Rough roads...
