    Who's your Trail Buddy?

    peri is one of the cutest corgis we've had and also unbelievably sweet. And he helped me understand why socks disappear.

    Pericles (aka Peri) is my latest Trail Buddy - he is my fifth corgi and all have been great hikers and campers.

    Censorship in the time of mistrust

    Except for the "Off Topic" forum (which I ignore) I have found over the last year or so, too many threads in Overland General Discussion have nothing to do with Overlanding - I would rather have threads moved to Off Topic then locked, makes it easier to ignore pointless arguments. There are...

    Did you hear? The NPS permit fees for filming ruled unconstitutional

    The ruling did not extend to photography since that was not part of the suit, but in practice, and potential of future lawsuits, I doubt the NPS would go after commercial photographers. I've been following this case, and read through the 35 page ruling, agree with the sentiment, but find the...

    Any vegan overlanders out there?

    Never met any vegan overlanders aside from my wife and she doesn't have to remind me she is vegan, but she is a very good cook (we both are).

    Any vegan overlanders out there?

    I thought that was "Overlanders" who immediately tell you that they "Overland" while standing by their tricked out rig.

    Banning Boondocking?

    I read that article yesterday and there wasn't much there. The NZ free camping had opposition coming from a number of places, not just the RV Park owners. The title is a bit misleading, the authors said very little about what was going on in the US, just some chatter on RV Park owner forums. I'd...

    Plans for the New Year

    Exactly, several recent vaccines Shingrix takes two, HPV takes three, DTaP four shots - very common with inactivated vaccines.

    Plans for the New Year

    I assume you are not talking New Years Day - we usually spent that in Anza Borrego, but not this year - had planned to drive out west where we used to live and spend a month camping in the area. Now that we are back east for 2021 it all depends on travel restrictions. Hoping for a trip to Nova...

    Thoughts on a 20lb bottle vs having a bunch of small ones?

    I have never had a problem filling my 5 lb tank anywhere in the country - I did have one women at tractor supply say “what a cute little tank.”

    Gazelle Tent

    Several comments and this thread and a number of reviews on Amazon mention gaps at the four corners where the poles meet the floor.

    Ways to Keep Warm in Your RTT

    We have an AT Habitat and have tried various Mr. Buddy Heaters and too much condensation and wife did not like the very slight propane smell (I'll leave out the CO debate). We ended up building a Propex propane heater in a box, it works really well, a little noisy and given that there is no...

    Ways to Keep Warm in Your RTT

    The best thread I have ever seen on this is on Expedition Portal, though I'm sure there are a number of heating a tent threads here. Check out - Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    Gazelle Tent

    I agree with you on the lack of winter camping folks here - lot of people talk about winterizing and putting away their gear for the winter. My wife does not love winter camping so I usually go with a friend or two during the cold months, though with the Propex heater, I have managed to get her...

    Thinking of getting a trailer.

    All excellent points smritte - thanks for the detailed response. The plan, since leaving CA is to travel for a bout 6 weeks every winter to the west - Anza, Joshua, NM, AZ, then up the coast to Northern CA and OR. Also spring and summer use on the east coast for 1 week trips - Nova Scotia, NC...

    Gazelle Tent

    All good advice - I have good 4-season backpacking tent, plan on getting out soon, now that we have snow. I'm in the process of selling my AT Habitat and looking at a few good four season tents to use while I figure out my next rig. Question regarding your previous post - why do you think most...

    Gazelle Tent

    Which one held up? I thought about getting a Gazelle, but all the "gap in floor" comments made me concerned. I'm considering OzTent Rv4 or RX4

    Thinking of getting a trailer.

    I've gone through most of the trailer threads here and on some on forums, but have a few questions and could use some insight. I currently have an AT Habitat, which was great when we lived out west and could camp four seasons, but now that I'm back east, need something more winter capable. I...

    Overlanding and Gluten Free

    Lots of great suggestions here - My wife is vegan and I'm gluten-free. We have an ARB 50qt fridge and prepare a lot of food before heading out, we are also both pretty good cooks. Some suggestions: - Wild Rice - too long to cook at campsite, but we make a wild rice, edamame, cilantro salad...
