My motorcycle adventures started on a Honda XR250L, spending nearly every afternoon ripping through the desert south of Phoenix. My first street legal motorcycle started a few years prior, shuttling back and forth from the house to the fire station I worked at in Idaho. It was a barely-running...

Just got an incredible deal on a GlobalStar sat phone from Columbia Overland . We paid $500 for the phone and only $20 per month UNLIMITED DATA AND VOICE! This is cheaper than an iPhone plan. Only available until 9/30. I had to buy the phone and accessories, and then we received a contract that...

Hello All, Overland Journal is going to be conducting a comprehensive equipment test that we need a clean, near-stock FZJ80 Toyota Land Cruiser for. We will pay your fuel to Prescott (as long as the drive is not too far, preferably Phoenix) and give you a loaner vehicle (promise it will be...

The last segments of the Arizona Traverse are coming together and we finally completed the route to the Grand Canyon Although I have run segments of the route on my KTM950, this route really favors a smaller bike (like a 690 KTM, DRZ400, etc.) I would really like someone to run the entire...

For those who have met Alan and Liz, you know how great these people are. I spent a few minutes with Alan at the Washington Overland Rally and we talked about the last 50 years of Sportsmobile and a little about the things to come. http://vimeo.com/28330092

More expedition-grade options from AEV:

This one slipped under the radar, but there are some real gems: Image #1: This image has depth, and the richness of the bokeh draws the eye. What I find most interesting are the people behind the camera and pile of 35mm film rolls. Brings me back to a time gone by. Image #2: The...

I am working on equipment lists for each of our 4wds and motos, and the discussion on fire extinguishers developed. It is of course easy to drive to Autozone and buy the first thing on the shelf, but are there better options, higher quality options that are designed for the rigors of...

So far a nice upgrade, but they reversed the scrolling method. Everything that once scrolled up now scrolls down - maddening, but the new method actually makes more sense. It is like the window switched from the Disco I to Disco II - it is all so confusing. . . Anyone else find goofiness...

Kristina Hall, ExPo's resident WFA guru will be conducting two-day wilderness medical training courses in Prescott and Pagosa. I took this course a few years ago and found it invaluable. Our team has used this training in the field on several occasions. Kristina has the cost as affordable as...

A marines perspective on Afghanistan http://www.flickr.com/photos/basetrack/ Powerful stuff and mostly shot with an iPhone

A much more interesting race this year with the big personalities gone. Some spectacular crashes and even some moments of class amongst the peloton. Reminds me more of the tours before the 90s. I suspect I am not the only one keeping up with the tour, so here is a thread to gather thoughts...

Great show in Brisbane. Found a few things that I liked too. Brisbane Show (Full Story) The travelander: Has anyone used one of these? I really see the advantage. The EarthCruiser - we spent several days testing this truck on Fraser Island. Anyone else attend the show?

I have mentioned my affection for the Triumph Scrambler, and a little more research led to the Jack Pine, the ultimate retro dirt and destruction machine from Hammarhead in PA. Overland Journal is working on a comprehensive review and adventure this summer with the Jack Pine into the PNW...

We all spend quite a bit of time on VIMEO I suspect. Now we have a group to 'add' videos to, etc. http://www.vimeo.com/groups/overland

As we continue to delve into the complicated and rapidly evolving world of HDV and our team shifts from just photographers to (trying) being visual artists, imagery specialists or whatever the dual-purpose insanity that is DSLR HDV and still capture at the same time is called, we are finding...

I will be spending most of the month of June in the beautiful country of Australia. While some of the logistics are still in process, I thought it would be good to post my general schedule, should any AU ExPo members be in the area during my visit - it would be fun to meet up for a pint...

If anyone has a set of stock JK Rubicon wheels and tires laying around in Prescott/Phoenix, I would like to buy them or rent (for a few weeks) them for a project. Thanks :D
