    Best Bang for Buck Overland Rig

    You are indeed correct, and I have merged this new thread into Kevin's original thread, as they were both targeting the same price vehicle.

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    I'd forgotten this was already brought up. And yes, starting at $55k and a 2 liter supercharged turbo might be interesting pulling around a 4200 pound car. I haven't read anything on quality under Tata, though, so I have no idea if it is as good better or worse than under Ford or prior to Ford;s...

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    I keep envisioning what I could do with the new 2017 V90 Cross-Country, a few inches of lift, and a belly plate...

    Steve’s 2016 Toyota 4Runner Modification and Adventure Thread

    Nope, that's pretty far down the list. It is doubtful that we would be in a situation where we would need either for the foreseeable future. Maybe if we had a trailer and stayed off grid we would. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    always hunting for abandon highways

    There used to be an organized bicycle ride on that section of the PA Turnpike, but I don't think that happens anymore. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Camp Pizza

    I bought an Outback Oven Plus Ten kit about 25 years ago. I used it maybe half a dozen times, and it worked okay. Just sorta cumbersome to use. It is in my backpacking tub somewhere in the garage... It works like this:

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    No, I didn't! It started disappearing more than 40 years ago around 20 years of age. Dad and Grandpa were bald as a cue ball, so I always knew what was coming. Other grandfather had a full head of hair till his last day. I got the wrong genes. The squinty Ranger pickup photo was taken very...

    Overland Trailers

    Very nice! With that front cargo deck, that has to play havoc with your tongue weight being all over the place. Are you using any sort of weight distribution hitch or sway control?

    Water Storage (Merged Thread)

    @Dananc The idea sounds intriguing, but (and you asked for honesty) at $18 for a 3.5 gallon WaterBrick, I wouldn't even consider it. But I'm the guy that thinks the RotoPax are over priced and as much for looks as function. (see my price comparison in this thread: #8) Its hard to get traction...

    What Jacket do you wear?

    Not to be a thread killer, but... @Michael has been asked countless times "What jacket do you wear?" on YouTube, Instagram, FaceBook, and here. I *think* his post was an answer to that question, not asking what folks wear. With that in mind, in cool weather, I'm either wearing a ScottEVest...

    Any Hunters Among Us?

    I used to, when I lived on my grandfather's farm. Now living in the far exurbs of Cleveland, opportunities are limited. Most rural land is leased to hunting clubs. Mostly, I just pop a whistle pigs from the back porch. But that might even be problematic now, as they built a middle school across...

    Trans-New Jersey Trail

    Ah, another Mid-Atlantic Expeditions fan, huh? https://www.instagram.com/mid_atlantic_expeditions/ I've been on what looks to be the very northern section this last July, when we took our daughter to a summer camp north of Port Jervis. High Point State Park as a starting point, then down River...

    FOR SALE Norcal: Yakima LoadWarrior Rooftop Cargo Basket with Extension

    That's the same setup that was on my Subaru Outback and now on my 4Runner. I like it enough, that when I put on my Prinsu, I'll keep the LoadWarrior in the barn in case I ever need it again. One bonus with the Yakima LoadWarrior, is that the fairing pivots on the lower rail. I mounted my 32"...

    I've enjoyed your posts on Instagram about the even this year. I didn't realize you were that closely involved. Sounds like a great time!

    KELLY KETTLE /STORM KETTLE

    Hi Keith, and welcome aboard. Interesting that you asked this, as I was going to ask the same question of the members yesterday, and forgot. I really like the idea of the self-contained fire and kettle. Plus it doesn't need fuel canisters like my JetBoil. I'll be interested to see if anyone has...

    Nice review. Byers of Maine? These guys? https://www.byerofmaine.com/easy-sleeping-cot.html If I ever buy another cot, it is going to be an OzTent King Goanna. Big, padded, and tall. http://www.oztent.us/products/oztent-bedding/oztent-king-goanna-cot
