Bring recovery gear. The trails we are taking you guys on are tight at times and you can expect pinstriping. Tall vehicles/vans may struggle in some areas, but we are doing our best to route around low-clearance. There will be soft sand, water crossings (stock clearance is fine), and some mud...

Grab yourself a big bag for your shoulder. Find yourself some good times and bring 'em on back home.

I was a guide in Moab. I drove Hell's revenge and poison spider on a daily basis in a Humvee. I also ran monitor and merrimac and gemini bridges at least once a day. There's some good camping out there and the hotels are wonderful if you book early enough. Love muffin has good... Well, muffins...

Plug it. Having seen the research on it, I'm not convinced the "liability" line they feed you isn't an attempt to sell a tire. If you google and look for independent testing on this kind of thing, it's negligible in regards to safety. We used to plug sidewalls on ATV/UTVs but I think that's...

Seems to be growing. It's Friday though and people are probably dreaming about overland. Plus OB here doesn't try to cram products down your throat when you join up and there aren't a ton of other forums for this kind of banter and travel. Expedition portal is good too, but they give me a weird...

I saw Francis St Pierre White discussing the ground tent vs the roof tent and he said something that has resonated with me for years. I'm paraphrasing a bit, "a ground is much cheaper where a roof tent is often quite expensive. Now a rhinoceros or elephant can get to you either way. When people...

I dont do any crawling. I have an H3 haha. I know some really cool spots out there but we will have to talk about it in person. ;-) there are a ton of trails out there that most stock rigs can do, but they don't get a lot of traffic because they aren't really advertised. Sent from my Nexus 6P...

I'm a member of ARES in Austin (Travis and Williamson counties) so I could browse their site for information in that area. I've been a ham for 11 years now, but wasn't active much when I lived in park city. Thanks for the information. I'll be sure to reach out when the widow maker and I are...

I run a Yaesu FT-2900R in my XO rig. Lots of power and extremely robust, but it's limited to 2-meter only. I have several HTs that will run 2m/70cm, but it's impractical for the kind of travel I do. I should be heading out that way in about 6-8 weeks provided everything goes well with work. I'll...

Wow. Literally answered my own question in your last post. Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

What kind of 2-meter coverage is out there? When I was in Austin we had several single repeaters. I've been in Florida for a while and the gulf coast ARC has a massive network on 70-cm. I'm looking to get back to Utah or to Montana. Someday I'll sit for general and extra, but I have to get back...

Hey Guys, I'm Derek. I've been following OB on youtube for a while now and never really looked at the site. I've been driving things where they don't normally go since before puberty. I started with a 2004 Montero Sport when I was 17. Camping, Hiking, pushing fuel ranges too far... I took a...

Stuck in the Ukraine without a rig!

This is my work in progress. I think in about two months I'll have it "finished." I quote that because these things are NEVER finished.
