Hey Overland Bound! I just got back from BCOR 2019. Dried out all my stuff from the continual downpour we had, and got it mostly packed away. I was hoping to connect with more OB members, but at least I saw a bunch of you guys out there! Share your pics and stories from this year's event, and...

Yeah, the lifestyle of being a gigantic a..hole.

Interesting hull design. Looks like a canoeyak...or a kayanoe...or something lol. I wonder about that big rectangular slot on the bottom of the hull. Added stability? In any case, seems like a good design if fishing is your aim.

Yeah, for sure. It's almost certainly some careless idiot tossing a cigarette butt. Thankfully it's 100% contained now. You're coming to BCOR, right?

s It used to be that every vehicle had at least one ash tray. Now, very few have any. Nonetheless, there is still no excuse; you can buy an ashtray that fits in your cupholder from the dollar store for a buck.

I don't care for Porsche's at all, but that motor home is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Hey, for anyone going to BCOR, I will be on CB channel 16 and GMRS 15, so if you see me en route, say hello! I'll be the overland equipped CR-V (the ONLY one lol) Also, unfortunately it looks like Bremner Creek Bridge is still down on west Harrison, so that route is a no go.

It drives me nuts when I see cans in a camp fire...metal doesn't burn, you morons! I see it all the time, sadly. Seems like every time I go out in the woods, I end up packing back more of other people's trash than my own. That's one of the reasons I'm glad to be a part of OB, and organization...

I use frog lube for the same purpose. Biodegradable, and it protects the metal from corrosion to boot.

Exactly.

I was thinking if you got u bolts with longer "legs" you could add additional nuts and bars on top of the ones holding the clamp to the bar on the trailer, thus instant brackets.

This came to mind right away

Somewhat off topic question, but what sort of radios are being used for FSR traffic in BC and where would someone get one?

Fabbed up a wind deflector from some bits I had lying around. It's clamped on just for show - need to go buy a few m6 nuts and 1/4 carriage bolts at the hardware store tomorrow to finish it up. Also started fabbing a plywood floor for my "water rig." It really made me wish for a power sander lol

Sweet setup. Do you have sleeping room on the far side of the trailer, behind the windowed door?

Such a slick drawer system, dang! I feel like it needs little flip down legs at the end lol (I realize it really doesn't, it just looks like a lot of weight hanging way out there.)

Good points all around. One vehicle I absolutely love the look of, and which is reported to be very reliable and capable out of the box is the Isuzu Trooper. Just big enough, but not too big.

I love the look of pretty much every gen of 4runner except that one. My favourite is the one previous to the current one, though. I would LOVE to be able to afford one of those, as much as I love my CR-V.

There is a fellow on YouTube, his channel is called Trip Smith, and he gets up to all kinds of adventurous shenanigans on an inflatable SUP, including sleeping on one on the water overnight! He also has a video all about how to choose a SUP, so I reckon his channel would be a good resource for you.

Nice price. That's the generation whose front fascia I hate, though. Like the only generation of 4runner I really don't like. Not that I have 8 grand US or the time to drive to NM anyway lol
