    Just started a month long trip

    Thanks for the replies and we have been forced west to the coast for a fair bit of the trip, but at the end of the day we are having a great time. Highest gasoline prices we have seen was Mammoth, CA at $5.29. We managed all of the trails in CO that we had planned on and have some very cool...

    Do you keep a knife or hatchet/axe in your rig?

    When I travel I carry a Mora Bushcraft, the Dustrude bucksaw (these two used most often) a hatchet or axe of some sort and a Glock folding shovel. All in a case made to hold pie irons…also some sort of spray oil to coat them after use.

    NFS California

    We have just heard (because we are looking for camping) that all California National Forests will be closing tomorrow 31st) and will be reevaluated on September 17. We are shunted to Napa (not a horrible diversion) by the fires but are hoping Yosemite remains open at this point. Stay safe...

    Just started a month long trip

    We just started a month long trip heading to the West Coast and up around Montana on the way home. We will be gone about a month and hope to see some great spots and earn some Jeep Badges of Honor along the way. If anyone wants to follow along the intro is up on my YouTube here. The idea is to...

    Sweet and Sour Chicken

    How about a super easy recipe that punches way above the ingredient list. In my latest YouTube video I whip up a great sweet and sour chicken, including rice, with 5 ingredients and the results are a winner. I hope you enjoy it.

    Little Red Campfire (Propane) is Perfect for Overlanding

    That is a great looking choice if you carry propane, it seems like it would really enhance the evening. Your video is really good-nice job.

    A few of my favorite camping gadgets

    I am glad you liked it and congratulations to your daughter, must be a pretty cool place to work. We think we will be going through Portland on our upcoming trip and hoped to visit the store and dine at Takibi but is seems to be fully booked the night we will be going through sadly. As I said...

    A couple of food finds

    As I have been getting ready for the latest trip I have been doing a lot of home dehydrating of various foods and it is pretty surprising how good some of these recipes are. But I have also been trying some other items out and I found a couple that I thought were pretty good and thought I would...

    Ouray Area

    Anyone going to be in the Ouray area 8/22-25 and interested in running some of the trails? I am thinking Ophir, Emogene, Alpine Loop and would like to do Black Bear. If anyone around or has experience on these trails I would love to connect.

    Trans America Trail-Pacific

    In looking at the travel plans which have been updated recently by the Dixie Fire I have been thinking about the ID BDR for a coupe of sections instead of the TAT. It still a bit flexible as one always needs to be but think this is the route I am taking.

    Trailer Anti-theft ?

    I have never heard of those bikes before but just checked them out, they are cool as heck. I expect they work as a traditional bike if you want to just pedal and save battery as well?

    A few of my favorite camping gadgets

    Good morning all, I put up a new video this morning and it is a change of pace from the cooking. It is a two part video that takes a look at some of the smaller camping gadgets that I like to carry with me when I go out and why I like them. Nothing super pricey here and nothing over $100 but...

    Making Green Chile Jambalaya in a Camping Pressure Cooker

    Thanks @grubworm and agree on the different meats! For reference the pressure cooker I used was 5.7 liter. One thing to watch is if the bottom is too thin you could burn the food on the bottom as camp stoves may not be the best simmering tools.

    Rethinking many aspects of our Overlanding setup and goals.

    This is some good conversation for sure and I think a lot of us find ourselves in similar situations, especially as the kids head off. I recall the daily drive looking for a signal to make sure Snapchat streaks were not broken and at the time I was just grumbling inside about the stupidity of...

    Severe Over-Land "Trail Rash", do you say; "oh no", or "who cares"?

    Yes, the wolverine scratches must be documented as I am sure very few of us have actually seen the aftermath of a wolverine attack! All kidding aside I tend to fall on the side of taking care of my gear but most certainly not babying it-I got some pinstripes on my Raptor the first month I had it...
