It is said that there is no other means to communicate along the TLH than sat-phone. It makes sense to me that the Pro drivers & enthusiast's like me would be still using GMRS/CB for localized traffic/talk. I plan on still having my GMRS running, but really thinking about picking up a Zoleo...

I've bought my rig, like it and ready to build up from. Here's the basic design: I've taken a tad beyond, but not much, for the basic idea is there. The rig sits on 17" rims as stock and will go 18" no matter. Question 1 becomes... 20"??? It will handle them..Is the cost of tire, running...

Fall in NH 2021 We do love fall in New England and plenty of Byways o explore. Here's another for you to enjoy!

This is part 2 of the route we did from Errol into Pittsburg NH. The first part is of Little Garfield Falls that is along the way. We hit it right for color in the backcountry! [tube]

We try most years to get north for the backcountry colors. It goes very quick and tough to time it. Now being retired, timing is working with us and we caught the colors! Also found a 'new to us' route on dirt Errol to Pittsburg, NH I met a group out of New York that was backcountry traveling...

This is my favorite! I figure most folks here will relate to this one. Bumpy dirt road heading in, flush toilets that are a walk from any site, very rustic/wooded sites and one amazing coastline without a sandy beach.. Heaven! With barely (if) a dozen sites, it just won't get over-run. We found...

We traveled up and stayed at Lamoine State Park as the second stop on our way up the coastline. We're trying to hit those spots just off the real busy areas. This one hits the mark! Fewer water view sites (5 or 6) and the rest up the hill from there, yet they have a abundance of field space to...

We need a rest bit of cool air after running the Mid-Atlantic... Blue Ridge down and up the NF's. Great run, yet the heat and humidity got to us and we needed coastal Nor'east time. This is the 1st of 3 campgrounds we wanted to see and decide if we would return to. I will say 'yes' on all 3...

We left Virginia and entered West Virginia. The Temperature & humidity was on the rise and forecasted to stay that way (or climb) all week. We needed out of this and get to where suits us better. That took getting into PA! We will go back, but it will be later in the season! There's just so...

This is our second day working north in Virginia using the MABDR as our guide. We spent probably as much time on as we did off the MABDR for several reasons, yet mainly because we just missed a turn... happens.. seems to us more than not, lol

I should have just started a new thread on this vs. adding to the old one so here it is. We ran several sections of the MABDR as we traveled northward heading home from Tennessee. A few sections I bailed on mainly because we're traveling solo, a couple due to just missing the turn (or not...

Ya, not so much an dirt Overland, yet still off the main path and scenic! There's a few vid's before this and will e a few more to follow. Including our trek back north and using the MABDR as our guide. Part of the drive south for us. This is part 2 and I'll say right now... We liked Blue...

I'm not making an RTT, but my poptop truck camper is tent walled. I'm working out details on the awning some of the RTT's have over their windows. It's a how they stay in place with just that tension pole... Hope to hear from someone that may have a clue.. Got a feeling it's just a math things...

I just bought some Ottertex® Polyester Ripstop (PU) - 8.7 oz, so it's late to ask if anyone has experience with it. Details/specs looked good enough to just go for it. I'm coming from Duck Cloth and want something a bit better... Really hoping I didn't make a mistake.. I'll know personally next...

I found an article on a fella that did this great build and it refers to this group. I have no name except Namiesto Hotela printed on his rig. Would love to talk to him or anyone that has done this to a '95 ('ish) Bronco. I did something similar to my F150, but his has a crawl through and I...

Been doing 3day exploration runs around my Home state by mostly dirt. Working up a few runs that are 75-85% dirt (can't always stay off the tar..). One run goes up to the tip of the State (Manchester/Pittsburg) and another is East/West (New Boston/Unity) in southern NH. Rigs with higher...

Yes, another site. I just started this one of my exploring of my own State. Enjoy! Byways no Highways

Getting closer to completing the exterior of my truck camper, so my thoughts are turning to specific's on the interior. Seems cost wise, there isn't much difference between an upright box frig or one of the chest units I see a lot of folks using. I was heading towards a standard upright mainly...

I'm here to learn from you all on even where to start... I have a 2004 Ford F150 4x4 that is stock as can be and has taken on the good old Nor'east rust. As the first step I had my mechanic (that has worked on it for years) give me a once over on the mechanicals, basically "Worth Savin'?"...

A van conversion is in our future, what and how to convert is the open question. So, here's what I 'think' and open to corrections.. please. 4WD: Well, probably the best off-road scenario, yet not the best highway vehicle. AWD: Still has the front/rear traction and balances out between...
