    Are cannon-style stubby dual band antennas pretty worthless?

    I had one of those for a few years. Loved it. Unfortunately, the spring behind the center contact button broke and the antenna was useless afterwards.

    Overlanding with a teardrop

    The new tongue going into place. While I was at this I replaced the basket I had welded up with a new, larger one. It’s a modified haul master 66983 hitch basket. Harbor freight has them on sale occasionally for a deep discount.

    Storm pics

    For the next hour after sundown, these provided an absolutely fantastic lightshow. The ridge is the continental divide, at 11,000+ in Wyoming. Last July.

    Mobile Ham Radios and LED lights

    I’m not familiar with the switch pro. There could be some hash leaking there. I’ve tried to always run my permanent rigs directly to the battery. as a btw kinda thing, my current fun vehicle is an ex cop car. From the factory, all of the radio power wiring is completely separate from...

    Mobile Ham Radios and LED lights

    What kind of rig? HT or mobile? How was the power connected, to the battery directly or through a cigarette lighter?

    Overlanding with a teardrop

    That’s cool. Love your fenders. I’m thinking about adding some load bars to the roof so I can add an ARB or similar awning. Doing the pop up canopy thing is getting old.

    Water tank for off road trailer

    I ended up using waterbricks because I’m not off grid every time. I place them over the axle to keep the balance unchanged.

    Overlanding with a teardrop

    Some galley views for on and off grid camping. First up, in the Snowy Range on the continental divide in Wyoming. Definitely off grid. Note the water jugs on the shelf between the cooler and pantry. A bit messy after 11 days. Oops A bit better shot the next morning. Definitely on grid...

    Overlanding with a teardrop

    On to the reasons this thread is here and not in trips. I mentioned a teardrop is never done. I've not been totally at ease with the tongue on Rose since I built here. The stock tongue on the frame I used was a piece of C channel, which was okay, built also twisted some when I used the...

    Overlanding with a teardrop

    THIS is why I overland. Square Top Mountain, Wyoming. Once upon a time I stood atop this peak and watch a bull moose at the base of the sheer cliff I was on.

    Overlanding with a teardrop

    AT Lone Rock campground, one of the stops on the Enchanted Rockies Trail. We've been here twice now. The east entrance to the Eisenhower tunnel. Why, yes the interstate goes through the Rockies, and under the continental divide. A genuine wild rose. There was definitely not dry...

    Overlanding with a teardrop

    This may fall into a the run what ya brung category a little bit. Not terribly much, because I had off grid camping in mind when my kids and I built Rose in 2008. My tear is a 5x10 “woody” with a vinyl roof even. Over the years, she has been continually modified and improved. I’ve even done...
