Well that helps. You’re not exactly a newbie. I just got back from a 5 day off road adventure. I can tell you hands down that I got the most bang for my buck from my sliders. If you’re not locked, a winch is a good idea too. If you’re running with someone who has one, you can hold off for now...

I’ll check it out. Thanks. I lost 50lbs last year but I’ve put about half back on. I need something more sustainable to get back on track.

Is there Keto for Dummies guide out there somewhere? I started looking at this diet last year but damn if it isn’t complicated.

Windrock is a huge park in Tennessee. I haven’t been there but it is on my to do list. I think you couldn’t easily spend 3-4 days doing trails and camping there.

Don’t buy a bunch of crap right out of the gate. First, just go camping. As you encounter adventures or obstacles that you’d like to do but don’t think you have the gear or the rig to do, then start asking yourself what you are lacking and building up from there.

Ok, who else is in? Feb 10, 6:30 at Rudy’s in Norman. I say if 2 more commit, we make it official and roll with it.

I have to work that morning. If we can make it a dinner meet up (6:30ish), I’m in.

I prefer Norman but I didn’t even know there was one on i44. My schedule is pretty crazy through May but will definitely try to make if I’m available.

I think that would a good thing to work on at an initial meeting. However, getting together for the first time should probably be as simple as possible. Rudy’s was not my idea but I think it’s a good one. There is generally a lot of room and not very crowded. Frankly, I think if 3-4 people got...

We got up in the 60s today. It’s a nice break in what has been a frigid January. I decided to go hit a state park with my two youngest. My 12 yr old daughter and I will set out on a 5 day camping adventure next Wednesday. I’m hoping we don’t return to the frigid stuff before we get back.

For emergencies, a SAT phone might be your best bet. It’s a drop in the bucket compared to what you’re already spending but I think you can just rent them as well. If you’re going to be in Canada, you may want to start a little further north and see Alaska. You would most certainly want to start...

Depending on where you start in Arkansas, Byrd’s Adventure is a lot of fun. Be sure to check out the Oark General Store for breakfast.

I can’t wait to do Rubicon but it’s going to have to wait till 2019. This year is Moab, Grand Canyon and possibly Ouray. Hope you all have a great time.

You could always put that money towards a moving truck that will get you out of MI. Otherwise, I’m thinking Jeep Cherokee. Could also determine your real criteria in a vehicle and search based on that (i.e. less than xxx,xxx miles, no older than 199x, 4x4, under $6,500). You may find something...

I’ve got on on my front bumper. It’s out of the way and doesn’t take up any space that might be used for anything else. I haven’t needed to use it yet but the same goes for other “just in case” gear that I carry. It’s just more insurance.

I have one of those plastic cases with wrenches and sockets. Then I carry a tool bag with pliers, monkey wrenches, screwdrivers, zip ties, JB weld etc. I also carry extra fluids.

You have reached the highest level of overland nerd. If I were proficient in CAD, I’d probably be working to get to that level too. Instead I just try a million different configurations till I get it to work. I’m looking for a way to carry a larger propane tank. Do you mind sharing what kind of...

If you are spending most don’t your time on the street, I really like the Tera grappler G2s. I’ve had them on 2 trucks and a suburban and they were good for 60k. I have Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep but they are still new so I can’t speak to their longevity. I can tell you that they are impressive...

All you trailer people are killing me. At some point I’ll break down and get one too.

Well not exactly what I had in mind but at least you responded. Really I was kind of wondering what gear people always pack whether they are overlanding, backpacking, kayaking, etc. It’s winter so I’m looking at gear for the Spring but I’d like to buy stuff that works in multiple scenarios...
