One of my absolute favorite things to do on forums, whether it be here on OB or one of the various other forums I'm a member of, is share photographs of adventures and trips. For me, photography is a hobby that I really enjoy pursuing and it goes hand-in-hand with overland travel. To avoid...

Post 'em up. Your best shots of camp at night. No sunset pictures. No sunrise pictures. I want NIGHT shots ONLY! Bonus points for awesome Milky Way shots with light painted vehicles or lit up tents, because those kind of pictures make me drool on my keyboard. Here's my best, now you go!

Alright, I told myself I was going to get my Jeep build thread caught up to present before I started another build thread here... But, who am I kidding? I was lying to myself. Actually, I've got the next Jeep post already typed up and almost posted it, but... well, it's complicated. THIS IS...

The mission of Stay the Trail Colorado is to encourage the responsible use of the roads and trails that are open to motorized recreation in Colorado. "In Colorado, We Stay The Trail." http://www.staythetrail.org

This article applies to the United States, but the information may be useful to those outside of the U.S. as well. Being that search and rescue is typically a responsibility that falls to local law enforcement and varies state-to-state, it is difficult enough to scope this article for just the...

Everyone participating in outdoor recreation of any kind in remote areas, especially those where cell reception is spotty or non-existent, contact with other people is infrequent, and the elements and/or terrain can lead to accidents, injury, or death should consider some type of personal...

Whether because of terrain, lack of views, lack of interesting features, bad experiences, or whatever, is there a trail you wouldn't run again?

I know cast iron is popular for cooking at camp, but I’m interested to see if anyone is using carbon steel pans instead of cast iron? For those unfamiliar with carbon steel, it’s similar in concept to cast iron in that it must be seasoned and eventually develops a slick non-stick coating, it...

We all have one. That one mod we wish we'd done a little more research or thinking about before we committed to... For me, it was my TeraFlex hinged tire carrier. GREAT PRODUCT, nothing against it or anyone that is running it currently, but it ultimately did not fit my needs. I had almost...

What was your toughest day on the trail? Toughest doesn't have to mean something went wrong, or something broke, or bad weather... It could mean anything that put you to the test. For me, I think my toughest day on the trail was running "The Trifecta" in Moab (Poison Spider Mesa to Golden Spike...

I have a few top contenders (RTT, sPOD, lights, fridge, AEV tire carrier) but, I think mine might be the ARB Twin compressor I mounted under the hood... what's yours?

Folks, given the last few years in the western half of the US and Canada, with forest fires everywhere and fire bans etc., it got me thinking about campfire alternatives (or non-traditional campfires). As I write this, a forest fire is burning about 2.5 miles from a friend's house and was...

Have you purchased a SAR card? I have one for Colorado... $12 for 5 years, no brainer. Do you carry a personal GPS device (SPOT, inReach, etc.)? Do you have GEOS or a GEOS-type SAR membership?

So, I have a Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3. It came with a nice big annex, but I've never used it... usually camp in one spot, pack up in the morning, explore all day, then find a new camp spot and deploy the tent and sleep. I want to hear how often you use your annex. Do you only use them when...

Anyone have any experience with lemon law? I'd love to hear your experiences, tips, and outcomes. Reason I am asking: I purchased a brand new 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Cargo Van 144WB. It has 1,140 miles on it, and it has now had non-start issues 4 times. Turn the van off, come back 5, 10...

I have my own story, I might be putting it over in my build thread and then here... But I want to hear YOUR stories! What is the biggest equipment failure or breakage you've had while out on a trip? Where were you when it happened? Did you fix it on the spot or did you have to drive the rig out...

I was just up exploring some of North Colorado, and I was camping in the Red Feather Lakes area. I found a nice dirt road that runs between the Red Feather Lakes area and Rustic, which puts you on Cameron Pass (not to be missed on Cameron Pass, just near North Park near the top of the pass is a...

Hey Everyone, I figured I'd start a build thread, even though I'm already well into my build. I figure it might help folks that are just starting out, and I know for a fact that I will learn a lot from all of you. The rig is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock (that's a mouthful)...
