    Tread Trainer Members / MSF RiderCoaches

    Charlene and I were MSF RiderCoaches in Washington for about seven years. I have wondered about the master Treat Lightly Trainer designation. What kinds of training have you facilitated for them?

    4X4 or OHV Trails Filter

    I have been trying to focus my Gaia (paid subscription) on 4X4 routes rather than the hiking routes it is defaulted to. Did a search of this thread and did not see anything that seemed to address this. Is there a way? The end result I am looking for is that only 4X4 and/or OHV routes would be...

    Bushwacker Owners?

    We traveled with a couple that had just picked up a 2020 Braxton Creek Bushwacker this summer. The rear hatch was problematic with water leaks at the hing during rainy periods and gas struts that were pulling out of their mounting points. They took it back to the factory... I think the factory...

    Mr. heater "Little Buddy" experience?

    We have been using this heater in our Hiker Trailer to take the cold edge off before getting out of the sleeping bags. Our Hiker is a 5X8, in 10 minutes it will raise the temperature enough to comfortably get out of the bag. The wide base plate provides adequate stability when placed in a...

    Coffee Set Ups

    Has anyone tried powering their hand grinder with an electric screw driver or other powered device? We are getting ready for a month long trip and I am looking at alternatives to my current set up which is a stainless steal 4 cup peculator and am considering the AeroPress coffee system. Hand...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro

    I may be completely wrong, but my experience is that pretty much any recent Android tablet has GPS built in. Some tablet specifications do not list GPS explicitly but the tablet still has a GPS receiver, visit the manufacturer's website or call their customer support to confirm. This has been...

    Resolved Map Location change

    I live near Chelan, WA yet my "pin" on the member map is 50 miles away in Wenatchee. Could you just manually change it to Chelan, WA for me?

    Budget Battery Chainsawin' (20V B&D Chainsaw)

    Another brand that I have had excellent results from is Greenworks, (I use the 40V Max system.) I wanted as many tools as I needed to work on the same battery. With Greenworks I have everything from a light snow blower to an 18" chainsaw. I use the chainsaw in a semi-commercial 160 acre...

    Planning the first electric truck convoy across America - Summer 2022

    The Tesla SC network follows the Interstate in Oregon along I-84 we use it traveling between Wenatchee, WA and Boise, ID. The exceptions are Bend, Detroit, and Lincoln City and the Burns SC that is planned. However, most RV parks have NEMA-1450 (40 A delivered) which will give between 28 and...

    Tablet - anyone using a Lenovo tablet for Gaia?

    I also have a 128 Gb SanDisk class 10 card runing with no issues in a Samsung TAB E. You must use Gaia Set Up on your device to select moving the map data to the SD Card. You are still limited to the number of tiles you can download at one setting, but you can get several states worth of data...

    GAIA Zoom Meeting

    I would be interested in an interactive Zoom meeting too. There are often different ways to get to the same result; just some are better than others. When an experienced user is talking and taking questions some of these "better" ways might be found. While we look for an instructor check out...

    What coffee do you drink at home vs off grid?

    I grind enough Columbia Medium Roast (Amazon Fresh) beans to last for the trip and carry the grindings in a glass screw top jar. I tend to purculate while camping in place but might "pour over" if in a hurry.

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    It is the way of humans to build more complicated, elaborate and expensive devices and machines to assist in our "enjoyment" of a hobby. Seems that there are several lines of enjoyment available to those who overland. Some may take real interest and gain gratification from building a vehicle...
