I'm planning on running the Rim2Rim2Rim in early May (dates slightly weather dependent, but targeting May 3rd for the actual run). This is not my first time doing a big trip like this, BUT I am going to try to rely less on State Park campgrounds and so I am looking for some input from people...

I like camping in the winter. There cold keeps crowds to a minimum, and I think the forest is really magical during stick season. However, in the morning I really struggle to keep my fingers warm, esp when shutting my RTT, making coffee, and other tasks that involve touching metal. I've even...

Okay this might be a bit of a weird one, but here we go... Got a Colorado ZR2 Bison and it is my daily driver (whatever that means these days). Here's how she sits now: The problem is, when I'm in the truck (6'3" 180 lbs), there's a lot of weight on the drivers side (XL GearPod weighs 50lbs...

Here's my situation I've been doing vehicle based travel for awhile but just starting to venture off road. I'm a bit overtrucked (Chevy ZR2 Bison) but of course it's still possible to get stuck, so I wanted to add some recovery gear. I leave in VA so lots of mud, and I also do a lot of beach...

Okay, this sounds like the simplest thing, but I'm struggling with it. Let me start off by saying I have ADHD inattentive type and I tend to set things places without realizing it and make a right mess out of well organized gear. Even on short trips my truck turns from well organize to gear...

So back in February '21 I started this infamous thread: Trying to select the correct vehicle for first overland build and ended up buy a Colorado ZR2 Bison in Black. Name is partially a tribute to my dad, who sadly did not live to see this truck (he named his old Silverado Betty, presumably...

After my infamous thread here I ended up buying a Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison CCSB. While I was shopping vehicles, I did some basic looking into how I'd build it out just to make sure I could do more or less what I wanted. The three main ideas I had were as follows (+) pro (-) con: 1. Hardshell...

Without getting too long winded (n.b. looks like I failed, sorry), here is my quick story on how I ended up here. Got ultrarunning, adventure cycling and backpacking while I was in grad school, and now that I'm done my postdoc, have stable work, and am living in a pandemic where I can't fly...
