Please join myself, Michael & Corrie, and Team Hunt for a short, yet epic adventure around the Grand Canyon after the Overland Expo West show! I have planned this trip to leave OE West Sunday night (5/19) and head to Lone Rock Primitive Campground (about 150 miles north of Flagstaff) for the...

Where do you like to take your rig for repairs? Having a network of repair shops is always good to have when your out on an adventure. I'm looking for trusted repair shops along a route from Calgary, Mt Robson, Barriere, Kamloops, Kelwona, Lillooet, Whistler, to Vancouver.

So the big meeting is happening on Monday, 4/30/2018. Here's a like to the Cal4 announcement about what's going on at Oceano Dunes and how you can help. Even if you've never been to Pismo before, the next location to face closure or restrictions could be YOUR favorite place. Please take a few...

Hey everyone. As you may know, Pismo is one of the most popular places in California to drive in the sand dunes. It's always been under threat of closure, or having the recreational area we love to use reduced in size. This is your chance to take action and help keep this area open for everyone...

Good news on the CA OHV program came to my inbox this morning from CORVA! http://www.corva.org/news/5267195 I asked my friend Christina (Director of Special Events) at Hollister Hills if this announcement is as good as it sounds. Here's her reply: Hello Brenton, Yes, you can put on a BIG...

One of the great things about Warn winches is their serviceability. When I first got my XD9000i it wouldn't go into freespool. The entire planetary gear assembly was removed, cleaned and got a fresh coating of grease and hasn't had an issue in over 7 years of ownership. Late last Fall there...

Had to wait until I got back to work to get this package. It was worth the wait:)

Fossil of a footprint stolen, $1,000 reward.

Here we go with another installment from my 4xFar Adventures training manual. This time we're going to talk about some of the information that can be found on the sidewall of any tire. There’s a ton of info about the tire that can be found on the sidewall. Most importantly are the tire’s size...

So pretty much every vehicle now comes from the factory with alloy wheels. For vehicle manufacturers, it makes sense because of the weight reduction vs. a steel counterpart. There's less rotational mass to turn the wheel so there's a savings in fuel economy which is what most buyers pay...

Here's another excerpt from my training manual I've been working on. One day it will be ready as a handout for classes:) Before I get into talking about shackles, I want to define and explain the abbreviations you'll see below. WLL - Working Load Limit is what you will typically see stamped...

For the longest time, I never gave tent stakes a second thought. They come in their own little bag with the tent ready for the simple task of securing it to the ground. Hopefully that will hold true in windy conditions too! But then the inevitable happens. You find that one hard spot...

I've had the same sleeping bag for almost 10 years and it might be time for something else. It's a bag from The North Face with my name all over it. Really! It's called the Big B! It's a 20* bag and has served me well throughout all four seasons. Snow camping required some extra layers on me and...

So my previous post on the trail condition you FEAR the most had some pretty good replies. This time, I'd like to know what trail condition is your favorite? I'll start off with granite rock. Like a giant slab or mountain's worth of it. The traction it gives is unbelievable. To this day I still...
