These forms are a great idea. You should consider trying to partner with company Field Notes or Rite-in-the-Rain to produce a nicely bound version people could buy. It would make an awesome gift for some fellow overlanders. Just a thought, but you should do it!

Wow! That was an amazing article! Thank you so much Corrie, You and Michael NEVER cease to amaze me how Fun, AND safe, you can make this way of life. I am a single Dad, trying to keep life exciting (but safe) for my three kids. Articles (and PDF's) like this allow me to relax and actually enjoy the journey with them! I can't thank you guys enough!

Let me add something usually not mentioned I. Many posts regarding what to take, a spare set of keys for the rig, vehicle and trailer if so equipped, for some reason they do get lost, dropped in the water, lake, or lost in a campsite. Been here done this. DUH!

I've got the same issue as the others who don't have access to the file. I'm logged in - I've logged out and back in - still no access to the file - any help is appreciated. Gary

Great article! I tend towards Michaels side of things.... jump in the rig and yell "Roadtrip!' is my normal pre trip planning faze..... :O
Checklist will make the likelyhood of returning from said trip much higher :)

I've been camping since I was a kid... When in high school or college, my dad would call me and ask--'what are ya doing for the weekend? Nothing? Great, pick you up at 5'--and we'd find some place to park/camp. There's something great about the impromptu weekend trip--traveling light, enjoying what's around you. With that said however, going overland requires a lot more prep--thanks so much for the checklist!

Thanks for the article. Already printed out several sets of the lists as these will be handy. Hopefully heading to the UP of Michigan this spring. I will post how well the lists work and some pics of the trip.
