    Final Days to Become an Owner of Overland Bound

    While this is a pretty low stakes issue, I think after a year it's pretty fair to publicly point out what appears to be an incredibly inept transaction (in which, after all, money did change hands).

    Final Days to Become an Owner of Overland Bound

    My understanding of Crowd SAFE is that you either have to wait for a liquidity event or find someone else to buy your investment. Dubious it will ever pay off or that you will be able to sell it (I doubt the perks transfer, which I suspect would be the main motivation for a new buyer, but am not...

    New Mexico Overlanders

    Los Pinos campground seems like it should be good for you. (I've not stayed, but it looked lovely when I drove past last year).

    Iceland Overlanding / Expeditions - Shared Experience

    My wife and I rented a campervan in 2019 for a week or so and had a lot of fun - no F roads though. On the F roads, do you still have to camp in defined campgrounds, or can you dispersed (wild) camp?

    SOLD SOLD - New Mexico - iKamper Skycamp 2 - $3000 - Local Pickup

    I have an iKamper Skycamp 2 for sale. I am selling it because we have ordered a rugged teardrop trailer instead. We have been very happy with this tent, but have decided to opt for a bit more comfort (we're not getting any younger) with a bit less capability (the tent went up and over Imogene...

    Aluminum Sand Ladders

    I've wondered about these - do a review if you get them!

    Overlanding and CPAP

    In round numbers my CPAP (without humidifier or heated tube) uses about 100 watt-hours per night and your cranking battery probably has about 700 watt-hours, so you're probably at about a 15% discharge so you're probably fine in terms of not killing your battery if you don't have any other loads...

    Hike-In/Walk-in Only Campsite Trend? Why is this happening?

    In some parts of my life I have preferred one style of camping, at other parts the other. Probably as many people love the change as hate it. It's unfortunate that the world doesn't conform to my desires, but I've learned to cope.

    F-150 platinum overland build

    Is the electronics "hub" hanging in your rack a commercial unit? Looks useful!

    SOLD f150 2017 4x4 overland, touring.

    Not in the market (I have my own 2017 F150 :-), but a picture might help for interest.

    Central New Mexico

    From Socorro, west past Magdalena, then south through Bear trap Canyon, drive in the direction of Beaverhead, and then drive south between the Aldo Leopold and Gila wilderness is a nice drive. Probably above 7k' the entire distance, so it will be cold.

    F150 XLT 4x4 build

    No personal experience (yet), but the consensus on the internet is that with a level Raptor wheels and tires (315/70/R17) will fit.

    New Mexico Overlanders

    The BDR through the Gila is completely straightforward driving. (Caveat - might be different if it's wet). The FR180 section (near Reserve) is slow going because it's really rocky (I imagine it would be obnoxious on a bike), but again it's not tricky at all. (It also has an easy "alt" route if...

    Everything including the kitchen sink

    Nice! Do you have a link to the actual collapsible sink? It looks like a much better size than what I have been using.

    Camping near Yellowstone?

    Understood - I was stressed about it. Just give yourself time to get out of the park and onto forest service roads before dark, and you'll be good.

    Camping near Yellowstone?

    I think there's already been some freezing weather this year, so mosquitos were either gone or minimal for us. (We were not by the lake but were by water).

    Camping near Yellowstone?

    OP reporting back here. We camped 3 nights in the Yellowstone area and had no difficulty finding camping despite Yellowstone being very busy with no availability in the park itself. 1. We found dispersed camping in the Targhee national forest south of West Yellowstone. Where we were at least...

    Camping near Yellowstone?

    My wife and I are going to be arriving at Yellowstone from the south (drive from New Mexico), and leave from the west (driving to Seattle) early next week. We will spend probably about 3 days in the park. We have been to Yellowstone before, but not this century. I have been looking at when the...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    Every hobby has its people who like the activity and are minimalists about gear, and the gearheads who love the gear and don't use it that much. Everyone has varying amounts of disposable income, and varying amounts of good health and time left on earth. Anyone who is enjoying their hobby...

    US Southwest Desert Valley Overlanders

    Desert Valley Overlanders has an active FB group which advertises (monthly?) meetups. I live out of town (Socorro), so have never been to one, but they seem well attended.
