College Station!

Watch what you buy, DOT approval means nothing, there are some who have SAE certification numbers, that actually means it was tested and certified to meet 49 CFR 571.108, which is the federal statute regulating required vehicle lighting. Most states have language adopting that statute, in Texas...

Every day carry. Doesn't matter if I'm overlanding or not. http://talesofadventures.net/every-day-carry/ --- Quite a few people carry a pistol with them when they travel, very few people train enough to be effective or even have a plan for what they are going to do when they encounter a...

That could be fun, even if it was only an afternoon meet and greet. I've been scouring Google earth looking for more dirt roads in my area (B/CS), but as of yet all I've found is a bunch of hill country stuff from the dual sport community. Eventually I'd like to have GPS tracks up on my...

Is the K Trail a hard core wheeling route or something that needs some skill and ground clearance? Edit: found some other posts about it and looks like it wouldn't be good for a full sized van and if some of the stories are true I might want to bring my AR and some spare mags...:hushed:

I'm only an hour away in Aggieland, and I'm on the hunt for out of the way camping spots for the family that are good for weekend trips. Ratcliff Recreation Area in the Davey Crockett is a good one.

I'm planning on driving some roads in the Sam Houston NF soon, even though that doesn't constitute "challenging" and is only "off-road due to not being paved. A lot of my local adventure is the search for abandoned Texas on the back roads and dirt roads. I've found and photographed some...

I wanted a pre-2005 E-150. I wanted the half-ton for some weight and purchase savings and I wanted pre-2005 to stay away from some electronics. Also the 250s and 350s are primarily work rigs and beat to hell. We were in a fully loaded 2011 Routan, but even with a strong computer background I...

And mine are on my visor with a Velcro strip I 3M'd on, next to the MOLLE strap visor wrap with pocket (which is super handy)

This is the morale patch I had made as swag for my book series. @administrator I can point you to the right place for getting them made. I assume you can do your own vector art and layout, which will keep the production costs down.

This arrived, it was nice to have the accommodation for the number, as its a variation of my old badge from a near decade of active law enforcement in Texas (which I left after rupturing a bicep tackling a burglar in 2014). What a very nicely made piece, like a shaped challenge coin, heavy and...

What is the overhead interior rack? How is that installed? I like it!

I have a large canvas wall tent, it uses modern sunforger treated canvas and is the best tent I've owned. Since writing this post we've slept in the tent for another 20 nights or so between the GSMNP, another trip to Big Bend and a couple of random weekends camping. So far we have been kept...

Coleman stove and the coleman kitchen setup with the table, rack, drying net, lantern post and stove holder. It folds up small and works well. For coffee I have a pour over system that works really well. What I love about the coleman stove is if it fails I can use my SOG tool and usually pull...

This week I out new Moog progressive coils on the front end, new rotors, new brakes, new wheel bearings, new shocks...new ball joints will go on this weekend. I was making good progress until my welder ran out of wire. So I decided to cut some of the 2" tubing that is the foundation for the...

@administrator I already follow you on Instagram. :wink: @F8industries here (did I post that already, it has been a long week)

Not the most epic of shots, but the back of the kidnapping van with our beloved big canvas wall tent. Although that morning I took this photo of our friend's camp while standing behind my tent:

I did see it, over on the portal actually. As much fun as that would be, October is a crazy-bad month for my schedule and I can't attend. Hopefully I can make the next get together! I'm only about 90 minutes from Austin.

Hello all, my name is Dave, I live in Central Texas and I have an overlanding problem... Well, not really, not that denial is the correct response, but I don't have a problem, my bank account does. I'm an author and photographer who is building out an E-150 that I bought for this purpose...
