Some stunning images in this thread. These are black and white film prints (scanned) that I developed in college. I took as many photography courses as possible, something I am glad to have invested the time in so many years ago. We had a dark room in our home for many years.

There are better vehicles in the category. Take a look at the X3 and Q3 as well. The big body cars is what LR does best.

So, I am faced with nearly of month in Antarctica and eating frozen or backpacking meals for almost all of it. Looking for a little variety and some off-the-wall ideas. What is your favorite backpacking meal? It can be prepackaged or something you make, or a combination of ingredients, etc...

The method of coms appealed to me. Quick updates with included geo tag. We will have two other sat phones with us, including the Iridium Extreme with the wifi module (we need to be able to send and receive GPS tracks as the route south progresses). Their system also stores incoming messages...

Primarily, the method is cheaper, with the unit being $300 and the monthly service being $30, which includes 100 sms.

I do always get a chuckle when 70 series owners tout the model's off-road capability. Reliable - yes. Capable - no. If you want a capable Land Cruiser, buy an 80 series. The benefit of the 70 is reliability, durability and capacity. Most of those attributes are at odds with capability...

Well, this thread has certainly become entertaining. Someone (more clever than most) just hacked Mr. Bro's account, even using IP cloning through Germany. Somebody really pissed somebody else off. . . Account now secure.

Iridium certainly makes our travels safer. I appreciate it!

ShiftChevrolet is banned, at least for the moment. His IP address is shared with another member and there are enough other indicators that this individual is not representing himself truthfully. . . Mr. ShiftChevrolet (or Dan if you prefer), send me a PM is my assumptions are incorrect. Will...

I have been in contact Espen over the past few days. We might actually interface at the pole about the same time.

I like! Looking forward to finishing mine early next year

None of the images are coming through. Is it a password protected or restricted directory?

The sat coverage is good, using the iridium network.

We were able to send the first message successfully. The unit seems to be a little sensitive to low battery voltage. New batteries and the message sent immediately. A text can be such an efficient form of coms, allowing us to provide a status quickly while driving and keep going, knowing that...

Desk to Glory = super clever Dig the truck too. Awesome Let us know if we can help at all. I will be in South America in March and working my way back north. Lets see if we can connect along the way

This is certainly true, particularly for a travel photographer. The 70-200mm is certainly my money maker, although I am mixing things up for Antarctica, bolting a 28-300 to the 1DX and a 16-35mm to the 5D MKIII. My typical kit is 70-200mm 2.8L and 16-35mm 2.8L. I have started throwing 40mm...

What a perfect tread pattern for most of what we do. Not too street biased and not too "muddy"

The comment "more money than sense" always makes me laugh, as invariably, the person making the comment has no money at all. So the guy with all the money is the dumb one, and the guy without any money has it all figured out. . . :snorkel:

He deleted his own thread. I asked why, and he replied that he wanted to take a lower profile with the truck on the web. I can respect that.

That road was very dynamic. Some deep water crossings and it seemed everything could go sideways with one bad storm. You made it to Magadan. That is no small feat! My sincere congrats. I am particularly enjoying your posts this week, as I am finishing the Europe and Asia segments for the...
