    It’s funny that this is my most followed conversation!

    Hand Cleaner that every Overlander needs!

    I’d like some too if there’s any left. I’m in Texas.

    Ozpig

    I wanted an ozpig for a while but didn’t want to pay full price. Then I discovered Expedition Express had a 50% offer with free shipping! Mine also came with the vented door which I didn’t think was standard and would have to be purchased separately. Go to...

    Pressure canned meals

    I think my next adventure is going to have a waypoint that includes your house for BBQ! I need to get another smoker. I gave mine to my parents when we left New Mexico and moved to West Texas.

    Pressure canned meals

    Well, anyway you look at it, it all looks good and sure beats the crud out of some of the stuff I’ve eaten while camping or on the trail. I flip flop between convenience and actual cooking. Sometimes I opt for simple and quick, then I’m disappointed with taste. Then I switch to more involved...

    Welcome to Overland Bound! This is a great place to gain experience and learn. Don’t worry about your Prius. Now that I’ve got three kids, we don’t fit in my Jeep as well and sometimes have to resort to my wife’s mini van! [emoji13]

    At least let us know how it turns out. I may never do it myself but I’m very curious about the end results. Not to mention how they hold up to Overland travel and how it tastes.

    Pressure canned meals

    The most experience I have with canning is when I drink Jack and Coke from a Mason jar!

    Pressure canned meals

    Recycling is a good point. I really like the idea. Canning is something I like the thought of doing but I’ve never tried. My mother and grandmother have both canned extensively and everything was always good. I hope it works out for you. I’ll be looking forward to an update.

    Pressure canned meals

    Wow! That’s definitely a unique approach. I’m curious to see how this turns out. I for one like to be able to dispose of used food containers. I could see that being an issue on longer trips.

    West TX Meet-up - 09/08/2018

    I agree. We had a great time and it was so nice to talk to like minded people who understood what I was saying! When I try to discuss RTTs or or off-road trailers with a tent, other people always say, “Oh! Like a Coleman pop-up!” Nothing could be further from the truth. Can’t wait for the next...

    Jeep vandalized in Colorado

    My first Jeep was a ‘77 CJ5 and I rarely had the hardtop on. (Yes, I’ve got an aftermarket hardtop for it made by ACME. The same people that made everything for the coyote[emoji13]). I had a few things stolen but more often than not, people left trash. Even a dirty diaper and a half eaten can of...

    Sounds like you’re in the big office. I live by there but work out of the Odessa West on 1270. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    New Land Use guy from Texas

    I agree. Or maybe I'll see you at work. I re-read your post and the timing just seemed right for a bunch of guys that just came in from SJV. Then I found you on the global email list! Ha ha! Small world.

    Hello everyone, my name is Jake. I recently moved the family to Texas from NW New Mexico where we did frequent trail rides in the surrounding hills and especially in the Colorado mountains. Texas has many great qualities but a significant lack of mountains and trails to explore. I currently...
