So many of my overlanding friends have been asking me about the best thing one can do to save trails. Well, it's not hard. The BEST thing, probably, is to show up for work -- show up for trail cleanups, Trail Guardian, work days, trail clearing with a local club, anything that puts boots on...

I know; I konw. There's a lot of stickers. But where do you suggest a land use guy like me who flies many colors and stickers should run the OB emblem? I am a staunch supporter of the OverlandBound community and sport -- so I want so show my stuff and represent well.

Leading or Chairing a Volunteer Committee: No matter the group, sometimes being the chair or leader feels like free-climbing a backward leaning boulder. In a good world, you have someone below ready to catch you if you fall. In an ideal world, you have someone next to you helping you climb...

Thought I would share this build of 1/4 M100 Army trailer I found decades ago in an apple orchard, discarded. I gave it some life. Now I'm building it into more of an overlanding trailer. This is how they normally look stock. What the Army did with them. More pics shortly, but so you...

I am sharing this article I wrote ( from another forum) because it makes so much sense with our Trail Guardian program. Del Actions Speak Louder Than Words Let’s say you’re on a trail ride with your club/friends, and someone throws a cigarette butt out the window. Or how about “that guy” you...

I just guided two overlanding tours through Death Valley (with ModernJeeper) with some lessons learned about the desert: 1. Always expect wind. 2. Have a practiced, camp set-up system and always use it. 3. Make sure everyone in your group has a good, working radio that they can hear. 4...

On a recent Death Valley overlanding trip, we hit wind a few nights -- I mean WIND.! Cooking my coffee in the bright and ugly morning was a challenge. My old school gear was marginal. But I found a fix to get my pot to perk. I know. It's kinda hokey. But I had hot coffee in near...

We call it the Bubble. All fiberglass. What do you think? I'll bet @Kent R is slobbering to go with me. LOL.

When it comes to food, combined with overlanding-camping out, added in to a work weekend like our Trail Guardian program...what is your choice ? 1. Feed me at least one big meal, group style; the rest of the time I'm good on my own. 2. I just like doing my own food; no need to feed me. 3. Feed...

GREEN WHEELING By Del Albright, Albright Enterprises (Re-posted from BlueRibbon Coalition Magazine, Issue #4, 2016) I don’t want you to frown at the title of this article and think that I am going to suggest you recycle your toilet paper or any other extremist radical-enviro malarkey...

This was several years ago, in an attempt to follow Willy Worthy's Canada to Mexico trip, with Chris Collard (now Editor, Overland Journal) and I, one jeep and his dog, Radar. We did it. It's a hugely long story that Chris has had published all over the world, starting with Four-Wheeler...

VOLUNTEER HELP needed. :(smile). If someone has a few minutes to follow, analize and summarize some of the key comments here, I would sure appreciate the help (on my brag in the first post about summarizing the comments). Then we can make it "pretty" and post it up as suggested (New Members...

Ziplock Omelets Homeguy had posted this up in a different thread, but in a search I could not find it again, so I am sharing this cool trick. We do it at home, before the trip. Each person picks out their ingredients (eggs, onions, cheese, meat, mushrooms, whatever) and puts them in a...
