    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Stumbled on to a set of JAOS mudflaps for my van. Incredibly rare especially with the mounting hardware.

    What is your dream overland vehicle?

    These, and their bigger siblings are so cool. But I was parked next to one at an event and not only didi it dwarf my already large can (dimensionally bigger than an HJ80), but as I was complaining about my top speed of 65mph the owner smirked and told me his was in the 55 range.

    A new overland vehicle - Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro

    This holds true for just about all their 4x4 models though. The bulk of the lineup is in need of an update, 4runner especially. It's crazy that a JL Wrangler is a quieter and smoother ride than a 4runner with far more creature comforts.

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    Up front near another factory badge.

    Must have food items

    Funny, I was first introduced to it when I was a kid down in Mexico, most salsa came in a can. They're 7oz and I've seen them at most grocery stores. Usually like $0.80ea.

    Must have food items

    Herdez salsa cans. They're small enough that you can pop one open and go through the whole thing quickly, plus makes for easy packing. And since they're in an aluminum can instead of glass or plastic they can be tossed anywhere you have room.

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    I went on a ridiculous quest to find some good and simple totes after staring at the Yeti one for an hour at REI. I loved it, but just could not bring myself to drop that kind of money on a tote. It took way longer than I expected to actually find some that worked for what I needed and ended up...

    Cast Iron or No? (weight right now is not an issue for me)

    Cast Iron is 100% the way to go. Will typically bring a dutch oven and our 12". I have a flat skillet too but have been using it less and less.

    I make photo zines and do self publishing as a hobby. My latest project is all camping and off-roading as a collaborative release. Was tons of fun.

    There are a few things you'd need to figure out, How many are you producing? What is the targeted price? What are you thinking in terms of overall size and page count? How much of your time/effort do you want to go in to the production? With the above in mind it''s a matter of finding the...

    I make photo zines and do self publishing as a hobby. My latest project is all camping and off-roading as a collaborative release. Was tons of fun.

    Like I said in the title, I am a big supporter of self publishing your photographic work. Behind a gallery, a printed collection is the 2nd best way for images to be seen. Over the last 4 years I've released 16 publications in small print runs. My smallest was 10, largest was 100, but most sit...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Diesel, most of them are. The gas is quieter and has a little more power, but since it seems like 95% are diesel repair and parts for the gas versions isn't as Googlable. Inside? Just the seats. Sometimes I'll fold them down (they all go flat), or if I'm camping for more than a night or two...

    Campground or Boondock?

    It entirely depends on the intent. Going solo/cheap over the summer? Dispersed. Going in winter? No one is going to be there so may as well hit up a campground. We usually plan 1 or 2 big trips each year with friends traveling from 3 separate states to be there. With that many people coming...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    A decently recent photo from the last time I put some actual miles on it back in July. For the most part it's a pretty stock 1989 Mitsubishi Delica Chamonix. Chamonix edition gets me a dual battery setup, beefier alternator, LSD in the rear, and 'upgraded' interior. Though even the upgraded...

    Any Ketogenic “Keto“ Overlanders?

    I've done both, Keto is the one I keep going back to. I'll typically hop on it for 3 months at the start of each year to get back on track after the holidays. Because as much as I'd love to do it year round, summers and the holidays make it tough. I've actually found Keto easier to be on...

    Post Up Your Cockpit

    There's absolutely zero room in the driving area, thankfully I make up for it in the rest of the vehicle.
