    Trails on the maps

    I love OB-1 and definitely contribute as much as I can to it, but for me I am a huge fan of Gaia GPS. It is our primary tool and we catalogue everything in the system. I have tried others but, for us, it seems to fit the bill.

    What Tyres Are Recommended for Off-roading (including the trip there on the motorway)

    I have found that running a good all terrain tire works the best for "overlanding". You spend most of your time on pavement and, in truth, the off pavement is primarily dirt or gravel trails/roads. If you are like us you are hauling a lot of gear and so you are not looking to do much rock...

    Planning our run on the Smokey Mountain 1000. Heading out on Friday if the weather is right.

    What To Look For in an Overlanding Rig

    Not sure I can answer. I had the Chevy perfornance leveling kit installed and it comes with new upper control arms and ball joints. Plus my rig just rolled over 9k miles so not enough time yet to tell. I do know the ZR2 has a different suspension thank the stock - z71 so not sure if there is a...

    It sure is. It is made by Bartact for a Jeep’s roll cage. It works great. Had it on there about 4 months. So far no issues.

    What To Look For in an Overlanding Rig

    Happy to hear you are thinking of getting into overlanding. It is tons of fun and never seems to get old (I have a short attention span so that is saying something). I have owned all manner of off-road vehicles (Jeeps, hummers, dodge trucks, Chevy trucks, Chevy SUV's) over the years and for me...

    Georgia overland trails

    Hello and Welcome!!! I have done the Georgia Traverse Trail from end to end about 6 times now. We go back and do pieces of it almost every weekend. It is a fantastic set of trails. I would start with downloading the .GPX files from the GTT website. The Georgia Traverse Download Page -...

    High-Quality Propane Tank?

    I have been happy with the Ignik tank on the power tank mount. Fuels my Camp Chef Explorer with no issues.

    Lift, offroad rack lights 360, or winch

    Ok so call me a stick in the mud but I don't get people dumping thousands into lights. They look cool for sure and when I have done everything else I will put some on. I know we are all different but I see running at night as a function of poor planning or time/distance estimating. We try to...

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    Latest purchase is the power tank propane tank mount for the rack. Got a longer hose as well. Now I don’t have to bother with it to hook up the stove and it gets it out of the bed. Works well so far.

    Why do you Overland?

    I overland to be with people I like, get away from people I don’t. Test myself. Teach my son. Connect with my wife and find some of the most beautiful place on earth to share. But mostly it is just for the food and to justify buying a bunch of cool toys to play with.

    Organized vs. OCD. Where is the line?

    My wife is always giving me a hard time that I am too OCD when it comes to packing the rig. I say "do you hear anything rattling....exactly." How far do you go when organizing your rig? I know boxes add weight but I also don't want junk flopping around when we are on the trail.

    Mulch done, garage cleaned, truck packed. Honey Do complete. I am pulling father's day rank on momma and we are FINALLY heading back into the wild for a couple of days after two weekends. Trying to stay ahead of the rain.

    First Aid First

    That is what I am reading as well. Seems like they don’t actually work so I guess that is out. Investing in boots seems like a better option ‍♂️

    First Aid First

    I hear ya! I added a tube of after bite to the pack. I also wish it had a snake bite kit. I am going to order one of those because we have a lot of copperheads around here.
