    Any Ketogenic “Keto“ Overlanders?

    I am diabetic and have lived on a low carb/high protein regimen for decades. I find it works well on the trail. If I get time I will post up many meals I prepare on the trail. My motto is 'if it doesn't light up your tasetbuds, toss it" Here is a teaser. Feeds many Dice and fry up a can of...

    Heck, in Minnesota those stickers would be called rust proofing.

    what do you carry your tools in? (ideas and pictures)

    I actually use one of the less expensive sets of sockets both english and metric, just because of that and the fact it fits flat in the bottom of my tool bag. Surprisingly they are not that bad. The ratchets are marginal, but I supplement with a couple of good ratchets.

    Chinese parking heater

    If you are thinking about plumbing it in the trailer, we should talk. I found some nice stainless steel bulkhead fittings for the exhaust, and lots of accessories for running the rest of the ducting, such as a flexible exhaust hose you can cut to length, insulation for the hot hose, short...

    Chinese parking heater

    I run basically the same heater in my teardrop, minus the housing, and permanently plumbed and mounted. If you look inside, it is a webasto knockoff. What BTU rating did you get? You should be happy, or better yet, the girlfriend/wife will be happy.

    what do you carry your tools in? (ideas and pictures)

    I like the tools bag approach. It allows me to stuff them in places unavailable to a box.

    I recognize the mountains. That is Trail Ridge Road. Did you go up Fall River Road (dirt) then down the highway? I live within an hour of there.

    what do you carry your tools in? (ideas and pictures)

    While tools are cool...they are no good if a major part is shot. I carry an extra of every critical sensor, along with belts, coolant, plugs, wires, rotor/cap, etc. We carry spare axles and driveshafts as well since we do VERY extreme trails.

    Obsruction of view?

    While, in Colorado, you can get a ticket, I have found if you are civil and respectful, you should get by with a warning. If they give you any crap about it being distracting, harass them about the ones they have in their patrol cars, and laugh.

    Type II Diabetes, Sleep Apnea (CPAP) and Cholesterol How do you maintain a healthy lifestyle on then Trail

    I picked up some used cpap machines that work on 12v directly and they have worked fine. I paid $50 each. As far as the diabetes, check often, drink plenty of water, stay away from sweetened drinks. Remember exertion and adrenaline effect your blood sugars and it varies from person to...

    Post up your trail break-downs and what you did to recover?

    As it turns out, I had a pinion nut back off on my rear Dana 44 after 5 years of hard wheeling, It put things in a strain and exploded trying to climb a 6 foot ledge. It sounded like a grenade going off . We routinely do very extreme stuff and carry tons of spares, including axles and...

    Post up your trail break-downs and what you did to recover?

    On Poison Spyder Moab Utah The chunks kept locking up the rear axle. I ended pulling the axles, and carrier, so I could get the chunks out, then removed the ring gear. I continued the trail in front wheel drive only. When I got off the trail, I had half the tread on the front vs the rear...
