    US Southeast Hurricane Creek and Max Patch

    I think you'd make it based on what I experienced last time. It'd be rough, but that Jeep could do it. I was by myself, so my threshold for nervousness was much lower than if with a group. The ruts were serious! I think maybe the North Carolina DNR could give info on it. I'll try and find...

    US Southeast Hurricane Creek and Max Patch

    Folks, it was my understanding that Hurricane Creek Road was closed. Has that changed? I was there last year and not long after it was reported closed off due to trash and erosion. I'd love to find out that was wrong. It's a great trail, but it does have some very challenging spots. It made...

    To fridge or not to fridge

    I run a Snomaster 35L off a Jackery 240. The Jackery is plugged into the Jeep 12v, so when the Jeep is running, it charges the Jackery while the Jackery runs the fridge. It charges MUCH more quickly than it drains, as the fridge draws very little power. I've run the fridge for 2 days off the...

    Florida Panhandle Overlanding (Eglin,BlackWater, Yellow River)

    Right now, I'd deal with hot just to get the chance to go camping and get the hell out of the house!

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Lol, the one I saw up close was a female, and I believe small. I'd imagine a full grown adult moose would be surprisingly huge!

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I'm the same way, so I really don't hunt much anymore. But I will add one thing. I would also shoot what wants to eat me! Lol! That scenario will probably never happen, but I'll still be prepared. I've only encountered a moose once in my life and I was in a truck, but I've heard they can...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Wow, that's so sad! I have not tent camped in griz country. Only camper, but I still wonder if a griz might look at a pop-up camper as just a fancier wrapper. Not sure a gun or spray would have helped in that tent scenario. Looks like you live in some gorgeous country up there! You've got...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I do. As to what I bring depends on where I camp. If in the midwest, usually just compact 9mm like a G43 or Shield. If in black bear country, usually a mid or full size 9mm, either a G19 or Ruger SR9, with Underwood Extreme Penetrators. If in big bear country, such as out west, a Glock 20...

    New Garmin Overlander....What are your thoughts

    I'll also note the advantage of it being wireless to the Garmin.....No worries about running wires through the firewall or into the cab! The range is good enough to put a camera on a trailer, too, even on the back of a very long one!

    New Garmin Overlander....What are your thoughts

    Well, thanks to the crazy times in which we live, I finally took a moment to install the camera on the underside of my Jeep. It works incredibly well with the Overlander, providing a good picture and a rock solid wireless connection with no flickering or interference, at all. In fact, I can go...

    Florida Panhandle Overlanding (Eglin,BlackWater, Yellow River)

    Is that in South Florida near Naples? I think I remember as a young boy fishing with my Grandfather in the Blackwater River.

    Indiana Members, check in here.

    I'm planning a trip to Drummond Island, MI when things open up. They have some great trails there and it is just beautiful country, including a ferry ride across one of the busiest waterways in the world, if not THE busiest, to the island. There are also the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in western...

    New Garmin Overlander....What are your thoughts

    Yep, but I also got this one for a steal. No way I'd pay the full price or even close to it if I didn't have the specific need. They've placed it just too high to really compete with other options out there, most of which use tech we already own. I'm hoping they start discounting them or add...

    New Garmin Overlander....What are your thoughts

    That's exactly what I'm doing. Rock crawling at slow speed. It is really the primary reason I bought it, with the secondary being the interface with the Garmin Inreach, which works very well. Each to his own. The nav features are ok, but redundant with what I already have. Still, I find the...

    New Garmin Overlander....What are your thoughts

    The camera isn't for sightseeing or recording. It is for spotting tire placement and differential clearance.

    New Garmin Overlander....What are your thoughts

    I haven't had time to hook up the camera, but that is on the agenda this week, since we can't really do much else. I'll post up when I get it running. I'm pretty excited about the possibilities.
