    Went wheeling after last Saturday's PDX meetup...

    ...with an Overland Bound member who was kind enough to show me a few trails at Brown's Camp. He seemed to think I did okay and even gave me one of these! Thank you Dusty! What a great day!

    where was your first time overlanding?

    We did a camping trip once in national forest and made lean-to's like that (summer though). It was a lot of fun.

    where was your first time overlanding?

    I guess mine was before I knew what overlanding was. When I was young I had a '92 Bronco and my friends and I used to camp pretty compulsively and occasionally offroad. I had a tow strap, front and rear recovery points, tires and that's it. We'd go all around the Cascades and some spots on...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I know there's an Android app for it, I've downloaded it and it's great. I'm looking for compatibility with Android Auto, in the same way the Waze app works with both. So it will display on my car stereo screen when it loads AA. This way I can forego the usual separate tablet and bracket...

    Social media..

    I keep my Facebook profile empty but I use Facebook for groups. The private ones are closed, so your posts aren't being broadcast to the four winds. They're more active than web forums generally, and more locally helpful. I get where you're coming from but I'd rethink Facebook if you've been...

    Wife and I cleaned the headlights and windshield with oven cleaner, then Rain X for the windshield, wiped down the interior, cleaned the inside windshield, and finally, added the most important mod I've purchased to date: Bottle Opener Bear

    Going Off Brand...

    I'd heard this about Sear Diehard Platinums. Apparently, they were private labelled Odyssey's. I couldn't find any evidence of it with the new Diehards, so I went ahead with the Odyssey. I don't want to second guess electrical. But man, it would've been nice to get Odyssey quality for a...

    Going Off Brand...

    I think this is what I was trying to get at a bit with this discussion. While I'm new to overlanding, I've sailed for over 15 years. If I'd made sure everything I bought was brand name or "marine grade" I'd barely have been able to afford to do it in the first place. For example I bought...

    Support for Android Auto would make this amazing.

    Going Off Brand...

    Apologies if this has been left. I tried the search function first. Anyway... I know there are a lot situations where the smart thing is to go the proven brand name and I do. But in some instances my experience has shown that brand names comes with a cost premium that doesn't always mean best...

    Sleeping habits

    Ha! My wife's compared my sleep habits to an alligator spinning in the water after it's locked on to its prey...in this case my pillow.
