Thanks K12, appreciate the response! I guess I have more options than I thought, which is always better than having less ;) Go USAF

HI all - looking for ideas for a new rig but I live in an apartment and want to also use it as a daily driver. So I can't use a rooftop tent (without leaving it on, which I'd rather not do) or make regular mods to it, like those that would require a garage. I'm also about 2 hours from the...

Yes, thanks Ryan - much appreciated. Had to be AFK for a few days but appreciate the constructive feedback nonetheless!

Hi all, Been looking at the National Forest maps and was wondering if there is anything in the lower half (of the lower peninsula) in Michigan as far as dispersed camping goes? Maybe State Land? I can't seem to find much and not asking for specific or secret camping spots, just general ideas -...

I really like the fact that you can share your location with others! How cool!

Hey I saw some references to having a "Satellite Communicator", particularly the Garmin inReach SE+, on the forums. Was wondering if you should have that if you already have a cell phone, Jackery power supply for the charging said cell phone, and a PLB for real emergencies. Not really too...

Does anyone know of some good curtains that could be used in a Jeep Laredo 2013? thanks much Josh

I’ll still consider the Jeeps, too since I’m not going to be laying on my back with legs straight out (yep, I just figured that out).

Thanks everyone, I hadn’t considered 4runners so that should be interesting to learn more. And yeah, I kind of felt like even a 4 door Jeep would be a tight fit!

Hi all, Thinking of trading in my 2-door wrangler for something that is both good on the trails and that you can sleep inside somewhat comfortably (6’1” tall) without doing any major mods. What comes to mind that would fit that? I was looking at the Compass Trailhawk, but it is too small...

Thanks much! Awesome

Where can I find a list of Michigan-ish ;) overland trips for late May and all of June? Would really love to test out this Jeep on a real overland trip. Does anyone know of one? Saw mostly California stuff in the Calendar.

I was wondering if there is a solution for a good portable power source that is charged at home - to power a good ole' 12V electric blanket? I was hoping to avoid using an inverter/extra battery and my ceiling in my RTT is too short (40") to run propane heat inside. This is an example of my...

So the last thing I bought was a 'Bigfoot' rooftop tent. The next thing on the list is either a CB radio or Handheld Ham Radio - if I can ever decide.

Thanks to everybody for the great responses, and good to know that, if I want to switch devices, Bad Elf is a way to go too! Much appreciated

So I've looked through a few posts here and I'm frankly still confused about how you guys get GPS on a tablet while off-grid. I went to two different Best Buys today and they both said that it can't be done with a tablet, which I know must be wrong. I said "I need GPS on a tablet, where there...

Hardcopy maps ALWAYS come first, but for those whose phone is operable and not pilfered or malfunctioning, its another form of redundancy based on personal preference. Not intended to be the only fallback, by any means, but thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out - and I'm sure there are...

Hi all, I just wanted to share an app I found called 'PDF Viewer' and it tells you how to import pdfs from your computer to your phone. It seems like a good idea in case an app like Hema Explorer (Australian Land Nav App) doesn't pull through or if you don't have wifi or cell tower coverage. I...

I posted mine right to the left of my 'Trail Rated' badge, but I had my father place it, since he was in automotive design and I thought he would get a kick out of it! Will post a pic soon.

Thanks for the warm invite!
