If you have never been to an Overland Expo, it is worth attending at least once. They offer a lot of different types of classes from first aid to trail-side repairs to camp cooking. It is also a lot of fun to walk through the campgrounds to look at the different types of rigs and setups.

The drive home on the last day is the worst for me. Hours of boring highway thinking about everything I have to do when I get home. The second worst is the next morning as I am getting ready to go to work. I'm exhausted and dreading the work waiting for me while simultaneously trying to...

The best overland vehicle is the one you have now. You can spend your whole life chasing the "perfect" rig. Your current car/truck might not be the most trail capable but it can get you to the woods and let you start enjoy camping. After you have done this for a while, you will learn what works...

Have you looked at ROK Straps? You could run the strap around or through the molle panel and the center elastic portion will hold the case in place. This might work well, especially for a soft case. Giant Loop also sells some Pronghorn straps...

Recently did a weekend trip with a group of friends. We were running a collection of Midland, BTECH, Baofeng and other GRMS radios. Did not encounter any interoperability issues between any of the radios so I think it is safe to consider that myth busted. For this trip, I had my BTECH handheld...

I am considering doing something similar as an option instead of a mounted radio. I need to see if I can add a handheld mic and external antenna to my model of Boafeng radio.

I use a Baofeng handheld GMRS radio. They are waterproof and compatible with the Midland radios that most of the people in my group use. At the time, most of the Midland radios required their own charging station. The Baofeng uses USB C charging cable which is a very useful feature for me. The...

While you are waiting for your F-350, take a look at the Project M Topper from Four Wheel Campers. I've seen it on a couple of full sized trucks and it is a slick setup for a fraction of the weight of a slide-in.

I use both a Baofang and a BTECH GMRS handheld radios for group trips. Other people in the group have a mixture of handheld and mounted radios, mostly from Midland. No additional programming is required. We just set our radios same preset GMRS channel. We've had people from outside our group...
