    Battery operated shower system

    Is that heat on demand or does it contain a reservoir? And if it holds water, how much? We use the Iron Mountain rechargeable pump\shower which works well. Need to heat the water first, if this isn't on-demand, so will this. If I was basecamping for an extended period of time, what you have...

    What To Look For in an Overlanding Rig

    Interesting, I never said that.

    What To Look For in an Overlanding Rig

    I won't repeat what others have said, though I will add a few things: 1) If you get a truck, expect those "side jobs" will be greatly outnumbered by "favors" to coworkers, friends, and family that do not have a truck and don't want to pop up the $20-50 to rent one for a few hours from HD or...

    When is it exactly right to engage 4WD?

    Agreed. I was always taught that "saving 4wd for a situation is creating a situation that doesn't need to exist". Older (like decades older) designs would bind the tcase on dry pavement (BTDT in a 77 Trailblazer) with spectacular results, same with modern ones if put in the "lock" position...

    1998 Dodge Dakota

    I had a 99 with the V6, great truck. Only issue I had with it was the pressure line on the PS, which for some reason was NLA when it went. I've had at least a dozen 318\360s over the years, damn solid motor.

    Gas can

    Depends on where you are and what you get for mileage. If you want to try try to stretch it up my way, you could be walking.

    Aphroducky, a VW Bus

    So the rack is STUPID loud. Took it off until I actuality need to use it. I’m planning on relocating the lights off it to bumpers front and rear, I’ll put the camp lights on the drip rails. Probably will try to fab up an air dam for the leading edge of the rack. So loud above 25mph that I can’t...

    NE tips

    Yeh, there's Walmarts up here but no Cracker Barrels except in Portland, and I'm pretty sure the city prohibits overnight stays, though you can look. Up in the northwest where I am, there's a whole lot of nothing but there is a Walmart in Berlin NH, Mexico ME, Oxford ME, etc. Let us know when...

    NE tips

    I'm about 30 minutes from Gorham off Rt 5 in Maine. If you get this way (Bethel, Newry, Stoneham area), I know a couple of spots that can be used. Would be no facilities, but safe.

    Dodge Dakota Tool Kit

    You have a 4.7, so first thing that comes to mind is a couple of lash adjusters soaking in oil. While not "easy" to replace, not really hard either. Just a PITA. If I can do it in an hour on in a Maine winter in my driveway, you can do it trailside. If you haven't spit out a rocker arm yet, you...

    First Aid Kits/Supply Recommendations

    I remember when I first got licensed, I made sure my jump packs were loaded to the gills with everything imaginable. It took me a few months to realize that half of the crap would be useless in 99% of the situations I would be operating out of the jump pack and actually got in the way of...

    NE tips

    Exactly. Beautiful drive if you aren't in a hurry. Not so fun if you have to stop. If coming from the south and you want to see the ocean eventually, I recommend going 16 in NH then take 302/5 to 26 to 2 across to the downeast area. If looking to hit the north woods, still a good way to go...

    NE tips

    How far in to Maine are you going? That can dictate what you might or might not see up this way. What are your plans leaving Maine, will you cross over low (northern MA\southern NH) or take the northern route over through the Great North Woods in NH then across VT? Be prepared, if going the...

    Utah Wanted All the Tourists. Then It Got Them.

    I feel this deep in my soul. We live in a rural Maine town (352 people, was 353 but someone died yesterday, in a state that has a serious "age" issue so I don't expect population to increase) for a reason. It's not that I don't like people - though society is a different story - it doesn't take...

    First Aid Kits/Supply Recommendations

    Whatever you get, make sure you know how to use it. All the bits and bobbles in the world are useless without knowledge. Not saying anything specific about you, just a general comment for anyone who stumbles along :).

    Small container bleach won't destroy?

    Glass bottles with glass droppers work fine. We have one that sits in the bathroom for months and months without any breaking down of the only non-glass part - the rubber bulb. We are on a dug well, when it gets low because of the drought, we put a few drops on the toothbrushes since the...

    Aphroducky, a VW Bus

    8 years later, finally legal. It died from fuel starvation a few minutes later but we aren’t going to talk about that lol.

    Air Rifles

    I have a Crosman Optimus .22 break barrel. I like it, shoots solid, feels solid, has decent (for what it is) hitting power with the right ammo. With the wrong ammo, it is a scatter gun.

    Maine Overlanders

    Ha! This is getting more interesting, I hear you on the NSFW stories :). The Berwicks, Eliot, and Kittery were ripe back when I was just out of school, lots of places to get into trouble and to hid from trouble :). My better half was from Elliot and we pass right through Sanford when we go down...

    Maine Overlanders

    I used to live in Dover and work in Portsmouth. We share the same last name, though I don't have any relatives in the area but cool anyway.
