A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods. ~Rachel Carson I'll admit it; I'm a weather geek. Even as a little kid, I made an electronic weather station, and have always had an assortment of rain gauges, thermometers, etc. Here in Ohio, we have four real seasons, and they are all...

Eagerly awaiting the next road trip in January/February!

@administrator Thank you, sir!

@Lars I don't have an amateur license, so please excuse any obviously stupid questions on my part. I am familiar with the SPOT satellite transmitter for tracking your travels, and transmitting to love ones back home on a map. Other than being radio base rather than satellite, how are these two...

That's wild that we have almost the same photo of our girls. But yours is using a real wrench, on a real tire. And congratulations Chris @cjones Enjoy every minute of it, because they grow up way too fast. I know you'll hear that often, but take it from one who just sent one daughter off to...

My shirt arrived today. Excellent quality! I ordered a size large, and it fits fine, but is none too large. I'm 5' 8" tall, and weigh a post-vacation 166 pounds. If the shirt shrinks much, it'll be snug, but then, I'm trying to get back to the 153 pounds I was this time last year, so I'll...

I got mine started early :) And she quickly learned that the hammer is the most frequently used tool when doing a brake job.

I agree that having OB Dark Responsive and Dark Responsive is redundant (and possibly confusing, as in my case.) So if it were me, I'd remove the generic Dark Responsive. I personally would like to see the white-background option back on the list. Wait 30+ years until you are my age, and you...

@administrator Default is OB Dark. Back when I wrote the post about changing styles (How to change the Overland Bound forum "style") the only options were Dark Responsive and Default. Dark Responsive then was what OB Dark Responsive is now, and Default was a white background. Now the OB Dark...

@dmurph1996 I know you posted this a few day ago. If you haven't found the answer yet, I see what's changed. In the bottom-left corner of any forum page, you will see a gear symbol and "Dark Responsive" Click on that to get to the style changer. Once there, select "OB Dark Responsive" to get...

@fledwell Is the coupon code only available on the one year subscription? I just tried purchasing 3 years, and it wouldn't work. Thanks, Steve

(Copy/Paste from Facebook) Wow, what trivial things sometimes set people off. As many have said, the umpteen emails were easy to delete. My total cost of participation on Overland Bound (Badges, the apparently rare patch, stickers, t-shirt, monthly contribution, etc) add up to one good meal a...

Late January or early February for a few weeks heading south.

My system is similar, but slightly less simple. I have four 3.5 gallons WaterBricks and use a 12V pump from Amazon that I drop into the brick. That way I have a little pressure for washing off boots, hands, etc. I still have to take the brick out to do this, so the idea of adding a spare lid...

I'll add my two cents: Of the two options proffered, I'd go for a 12 gauge pump shotgun. Versatility: That's the shotgun's best tool. You can load it light for bird or small game, heavy for larger game, various chokes, etc. Add a slug barrel, and you have a great brush gun. Add a scoped, rifled...

I ordered a Nikon D750 camera with the Nikkor 24-120mm f/4 lens today. I also ordered a Tamron 150-600mm tele-zoom. Now I'll get some better wildlife photos on our next trip! This will be a huge upgrade from my ten year old D200 body.

@pl626 We are not sure of our plans for spring yet. If we do, I'd like to start early so Deb and I do some of the exploring before picking her up. Not so much stuff in the Outback that way, nor complaints of taking too long to get home to her friends. 22 years ago I stopped briefly at Teddy...

This keeps getting better. Customer service this good is rare, and twice on the same item is unheard of. Since Academy Sports so generously offered to replace the entire case with the missing wheels, and having me just keep the defective one, I decided to write to Plano to see if I could buy a...

@SLO Rob, Like @hidesertwheelin says, it is not a sealed case. There is a bit of overlap sorta like this: (ignore the periods) ---------- .......--------- ---------- I'm going to see if I can slip some self-adhesive foam over the center piece to help seal it. I'm guessing that the silicon...

@jordanbrooks I know, I commented on the Badlands photo this morning. :)
