^^ LOL You win this thread!! :)

Looking forward to seeing this guy get built up! You know you'll have to post an excessive quantity of photos, right? ;)

@jordanbrooks When I bought mine ~5 years ago, there were a zillion on eBay, but most reviews had them as pretty horrible quality. Thin, prone to leakage and internal rust, poor venting, poor sealing, etc. I opted to spend a bit more and get new made in Germany (at that time) cans made to NATO...

In February, we will be wandering south to Florida for a while. We will stay at a place my brother rents for part of the time, using it as a base for exploring. Depending on the weather, we want to again meander our way they're and back rather than a quick 24 hour drive. Beyond that, we have no...

I've seen the Rotopax in photos and videos, but never looked at the prices before this thread. They seem handy, but wow, are they expensive! I have four 20L steel Jerry cans that each cost half what a 3 gallon Rotopax cost. Here's what I have. Get 'em now, because they can't be sold without...

Thank you!

Hey, I hadn't noticed that! Congratulations, @jordanbrooks! How in the world did you get to 400 posts in less than a month! Don't ban me, ya crazy Hoosier! :)

Arrrg! You had to have known yesterday when you posted this that I'd get an email today that there was 25% off instead of 10%, saving me an additional $10!

Amen and Hallelujah! I have been through this so many times on mailing lists and forums. When the community is small, it is tight-knit, polite, well-mannered, etc. Eventually, as it grows, bullies, the grandiose know-it-all, or similar folk wander in and spoil it for everyone. Or cliques form...

I hope not. These guys are working their butts off to get the website and forum going, and from past experience, I know that hosting, software, etc. costs a lot more than most people suspect. I doubt that sales begin to cover expenses/ Let's not cut into that for a marketing gimmick sale. As REI...

Thanks! I just placed an order for three years and a patch. Steve

@jdunk While not what you are asking (and in fact, specifically excluded) purifying water for a large group is not necessarily time consuming, given the right equipment. I use a Berkley stainless steel water purification system at home, and it can be easily packed for travel use. Just dump in...

I'm up to 45,018 on my 2008 Outback. That's just shy of 10,000 more than it had in March this year!

@Lipek Karol, I'm not positive, but I don't think the forum and the store/homepage share a login/password. The previous forum was on a separate software, and the logins were unlinked. When @administrator switched to the much improved xenForo software, I don't think there was a merging of the...

Michael, What a surprise to see the new landing page for Overland Bound. That's a very nice layout, and looks professionally done. I realize it is brand new, and a work in progress. I thought the members might use this thread to comment/discuss their opinion, and let you know of any platform...

Thanks for the explanation! I'd looked into getting my amateur license when I started doing National Weather Service storm reporting, but never followed through. I already have too many ways to spend my money and time, and another interest would just spread that out thinner. A SPOT or similar...

I just added several of you that I wasn't already following. It is always interesting to see what people post that's not overlanding related. :) (Mine is in my sig)

That was some of the best part of our recent 43 day adventure. Finding out of the way places you heard about by asking locals. Sure, the parks are amazing, but so are the places in between, and sometimes, you're the only person there!
