Still requires a second battery, someplace to put it, and brackets to hold it. Not that I'm saying it's bad, but I'm broker than that!

Damn phone...doubles as a table too. Also, whadda mean "nobody cooks inside?" I do, every day! Cole: nice Sprinter interiors! While I understand the "stealth" and security of windowless vans, I prefer windows, those Sprinters look "tomb-like." I especially like windows in bad...

Ider: good point about how tall one is. I'm 5'8" tall and made a bed with a flip-up extension (supported by fold-up table legs) that allows access to two storage bins from front or via flip-top, and doubles as a tabj

I have the 2500 long wheelbase with O/D and seem to be getting 16-17 mpg. By the way, I just got back from a "how in hell did you get here?" trip, and except for a)I saw my rear wheel in the air (a first I never accomplished with the Rover) [a diff lock would be nice; and b) ripped off my...

Sure...except the nearest Starbucks is 30 miles from where I am right now...which, considering it's February should have about 18" of snow on the ground! Instead, it was 60° today...that's just wrong!

John and Cole, I'll try to get some pics up soon as I get better internet sig, all I have is a phone to post, and I don't think photos would go thru. After a half-century of knocking about in the woods by foot, bike and truck I've come to some ideas of what works for me, and simple is best. I...

Uh, it's shockingly crude, all done with a $20 drill and a $20 jigsaw. But, it works so far, and it's mine, and it's paid for! I'll try to get some pics on soon, as it is I cannot get a good enough cell sig o send pix. By the way,Cole, your stuff is awesome cool!

Dang phone...after months of searching I came upon a '97 Dodge 2500 conversion with a stripped interior. 800 bucks in wood and miscellany to build an interior I couldn't be happier. It's like a mansion! I kept it simple, seven-gallon jug for water, ice chest, and single-burner stove. I'm happy...

Ok, I'm going to add my 2 cents. For seven years I lived out of my Land Rover Disco1. When the 5spd went out I deceided to get a van. After

You might want to check both Bus Depot and Big Agnes...at one time the both had semi-dome canopies at a reasonable price, took only two poles and rope to set up.

Woah, did I say acetone? I meant toluene, available at paint stores. It kills brain cells if you sniff it too much, as I can attest to!

You can also thin goop with acetone (a little trick to head cement from fly tying).

I really like Picsart on Android because of the control it gives you. Just ignore the silly balloons and other garbage Picsay thinks you want :)

Never buy a rod you cannot test cast. Hence, no Cabela's rods unless you can go to the store and try it. Casting action is too dependent on your abilities to risk something that won't work for you. Reels are only for storing line and spending a lot of $$ on one is a waste (steelhead, salmon and...

Montezuma Castle Visit I was walking out of work when I saw the F250 in the parking lot at Montezuma Castle National Monument. I knew immediately who they were and had to go back in and tell them they should visit Adventure Overland and Overland Journal. They had been there the previous day...

Hmm...I love that area, lived in Joseph/Enterprise two summers and would live there full-time but for the lack of year-round work. It's a real step back in time to the days when ranching and farming really mattered. Great report, great photos. Thanks for the memories.

I beleive it was Henri Cartier-Bresson who said something like, "if you need a closeup get closer, a wide shot, then back up. He shot primarily with a Leica rangefinder and I think a 35mm lens.

Hmm...I've used dozens of tents over the last 45 years...IMHO no tent made today is as well-made as those of the 1970's. I've been living out of a tent (and Land Rover) for most of the last 5 years, so I guess I have a little experience in the matter. I do agree that the mesh canopy is a...

I bought my '96 Disco with 96K miles and 5-spd on it six years ago, now have almost 150K. I've driven on dirt almost every day. I "Disco-nnected" the abs and have had ZERO problems since, replaced a cv joint and otherwise it's been as reliable as the day is long...and hopefully will be much...

Oregon gas pumps I think it's the high school lobby that keeps the antiquated "can't pump your own gas" law in effect...
