I'm looking for a good single burner that uses those cheap butane disposable tanks you commonly see at buffet tables and similar places. The Kovea X-On Portable Stove looks like it might be a good option for me. Specifically, does it work in cold weather? What about high altitude? Does it...

I am looking for a hard shell RTT for a trip through Alaska and back from Texas being likely with a possible adventure going South pending political considerations through the Darien Gap and places less friendly to Americans. The RTT needs real 4-season capability to deal with rain and snow...

Is the Mini now the only antenna available? What happened to the High Performance and the Standard antenna receivers? Is the Mini antenna really a replacement for those in Vehicle and Remote installations that are not commercial?

In the past, a couple of years before COVID, I was actively looking for a Series 70 Land Cruiser and the few I found in good running condition were overseas and out of my price range. I did find a Series 70 Troop transport in France that was apparently an NGO vehicle out of Africa but, at...

I have been thinking about getting an old-school HiLux and most likely a clean one is coming out of Japan or the Mid-East. I know shipping and everything else is in turmoil with tariffs and various shipping/logistics issues. CONUS options are exceedingly difficult to find in a reasonable...

https://www.overlandexpo.com/west/ What advice does everyone have for attending the Expo West event mid-May this year? What is different between the two camping options? Does the extra money get you anything besides camping near the "grandstand"? I will be headed that way out of East Texas...

I'm debating getting a SWAG. How do the 23Zero and Kakadu SWAGS compare to each other? Is one better than the other? TIA, Sid

I have been reading various threads in this forum and see many comments about "stick and staple" trailers and similar things which I suspect most of us seriously avoid. Looking at the opposite extreme, robustly built trailers are randomly mentioned in random threads. This has me wondering if...

Looking at Expedition trailers, does anyone have experience with or own a Nut House Hickory or Peanut trailer? Most builds with normal "options" are ~$35K or more so, a lot more involved in terms of cost and timeline to save up for. And, build time would see me miss most of this year but, a...

https://taxaoutdoors.com/products/woolly-bear I have been to the last two ExPo events at Fort Collins, CO where I have seen a lot of trailers oriented for adventurous travels. I currently own a Taxa Tiger Moth (base edition) which I pulled with my Honda Accord mainly. These days I'm doing...

I am looking to add a bed rack system to my Tacoma. What are the better options out there in today's market? Which are the most recommended or most highly rated? Any loser I should definitely avoid? I have a Prinsu rack over the cab if that makes a difference. TIA, Sid

How do the Iglhaut Sprinter vans rate in today's world of Expedition Vehicles? I am looking for something a little 'softer' than the really hard-core Toyota Tacoma I have. When I am just running to the coast for Surf Fishing or hanging out at a tractor show, my Toyota Tacoma leaves a bit to be...

https://soliswifi.co/products/solis-5g-hotspot-power-bank I lose cellphone coverage a lot when I end up somewhere popular in my overlanding and when I am really remote. In Minnesota near Fargo, I frequently encounter cellphone congestion so bad I can't get basic email messages or the Signal...

First, I am looking at the ROAM plan to go with my Overlanding Tacoma pickup. I don't believe I will be eligible for the $299 antenna with ROAM. https://www.starlink.com/specifications?spec=2 The Flat Panel and High Performance "pedestal" antennas are $2500 and appear to support concurrent...

OK, like the newer mall crawlers, I am looking for a front-facing camera to clear obstacles (not at a mall 🤣) and a rear-mounted camera to avoid backing into something I can see due to the spare tire and MWC/Gas cans on the rear bumper. Local car stereo shops want to sell me some basic NTSC...

Sundowner Swag 1P At $400USD retail, this looks promising. Does anyone have personal experience with one of these? They are new to the USA so, I am hoping some of the folks "Down Under" can comment on them against other options. TIA, Sid

My search for threads here was not very successful so here I am. I don't need the super light and expensive classic backpacking sleeping pads and the common "Walmart" air mattress is problematic camping and is super bulky. What are the better sleeping mats or pads today? I travel in a Toyota...

As noted in my other thread, ~35MPH winds with a Gazelle tent in soft sand while salt water fishing. My normal stakes work great in "hard" soil conditions but, were useless in soft sand. What are my better stake options for soft sand. Lashing my tent to my pickup sort of worked but, it was...

I spent the past weekend on the beach in Galveston, Tx saltwater fishing. When I arrived late Friday, the wind was blowing ~35MPH. Needless to say, setting up my Gazelle tent was a real challenge! A trim profile "low" tent or Bivvy sack would have been much better. I really didn't need the...
