I got a little Esbit alcohol stove for Christmas. I've been wanting one. Esbit Alcohol Stove and Trekking Cookset – J Rife Company My question is: How do you carry the denatured alcohol? What kind of sealed container? I have a small aluminum container for carrying fuel, but it...

On my Apple iPad using Gaia in the bottom right hand corner there's a notice saying Grace Period SUBSCRIBE NOW. When you click on it, the next screen says "Gaia GPS is not a part of the Outside family. Members of Outside can use their existing account info to log in with Gaia GPS". This...

I've had non-camping folks ask me about camp cooking like there was something special or mysterious about it. I always tell them "If you can cook it on a stove or in an oven at home, you can do the same thing when camping". Lots of folks are familiar with camp stoves, but not so much with camp...

I'm looking for a narrow awning to put on the back of my Jeep to kinda connect the tent to the back of the Jeep. I found one 4'6" (54") wide, but really I need one no wider than 44". Any wider and it would hit the awning mounted on the side of the Jeep. Any suggestions?

I downloaded GAIA (premium version or whatever it is called) on both my little android phone, and on my gen 7 iPad. I'm doing the TAT this summer, and was able to get the TAT maps downloaded on both devices. That's not the problem. The GPS works just fine on the phone. The little arrow shows...

I thought I'd start a thread about Overlanding DIY trailers based on the HF-type 4' trailer frames (also applicable to their 4'x8' frames). These trailer frames are also sold at places like Northern Tool. Specifically, I thought we'd focus on their suspensions, and modifications that can be...

I was putting a new toy I recently purchased into my gun cabinet, and found this tool up with the ammo on top of the gun cabinet. I cannot for the life of me remember what it is for or which gun it belongs to (an AR?). It was still in a little sealed plastic bag, so it hadn't been used on...

I've got an ARE fiberglass topper on my truck that I bought new in 1996. It is starting to leak around the windows. The windows are kept in place with what seems to be two-piece aluminum extruded pieces (one inside and one outside) that go all the way around the windows, with the inside piece...

Dear Ore-Landers, My wife and I are planning a trip to Glacier National Park in June (to do research on a book she's writing). We are in our 50's. She's agreed to go camping for the trip; about 5 nights camping total. I am an experienced camper/overlander, she is not. I've got all the...

I'm looking at this little Midland MTX115 GMRS radio for an upcoming trip: https://midlandusa.com/product/mxt115-micromobile-2-way-radio/ I've already got a small Comet dual band HAM antenna mounted on the side-view mirror of my Jeep TJ, but it doesn't cover the GMRS frequencies. So I'm...

I'm getting ready to go on an overlanding trip in October with a group, and they're wanting us to communicate via GMRS. I have a little dual-band 5W BaoFeng UV-5R mounted in my Jeep (with an external antenna), and I believe it gets the GMRS frequencies (I punched them in to see, and it does)...

So... I was going to spend a week up in Canada. I was entering via the Sumas border crossing (in WA), and going as far north as Whitehorse (a four day drive from the border), and then turning around and driving four days back. I was pre-running part of a trip I'm leading next month to the...

I just got back from a 3000 mile trip pre-running part of the 5000 mile trip to the Arctic Ocean we'll be doing in August. I noticed when I got home the trailer tires were wearing more on the inside half of the tread (I'll probably replace them before the trip in August). The trailer is a...

Am I the only one that likes Corned Beef Hash? I'm getting ready for a long (for me... about 3 weeks long) overlanding trip in about two months, and it'll be just me in the vehicle this time. So I'm trying to get smaller sized food (servings for one is what I'm trying to say). I don't want to...

I have a Coleman folding Campstove Oven I've had for years that I want to start carrying again for when I'm adventuring (relatively) light and just bringing a one-burner stove (vs. my big two burner stove/oven combo). The cardboard box is getting a little (or a lot!) worn. I couldn't find...

In August (2019) a group of us plan on driving the Dempster Highway all the way to Inuvik and on to Tuk now that they opened the new road, and put our kayaks in the Arctic Ocean (technically the Beaufort Sea or even more descriptive possibly the Mackenzie Bay, but whatever - saying "The Arctic...

I was at a big-box store the other day walking through their camping section, and came across an inexpensive (unfamiliar brand) single burner propane stove thingy (not a butane stove with a propane option). It was just pieces in a box, and said max 5,000 BTUs. It looked very much like this...

This'll be a short thread. My computer took a major dump a while back. Was able to save all my data, but I lost all the links (Favorites) I had been saving over the years (tons of links lost - it was a sad day). Anyways... there's a fabric hat out there I'm looking for (I lost the link...

I've got two of the ARB Camp Chairs (brown ones, without the plastic side tables). I really like the chairs, but I hate the flimsy storage bag they came with. They've already got holes worn through them. Does anyone make a heavy duty camp chair storage bag these would fit in? Maybe even...

What are you all actually using to strap your kayaks to your roof-racks? There's a thread under Storage Solutions titled: "Your preferred Roof Rack straps, tie down options?" that talks about straps obviously. I've read where some folks like using NRS cam-straps, but I wonder if they could...
