    The Owyhee

    Sorry, I don't post GPS tracks or maps. The basic skeleton of the trip is here. Any USGS topo maps app and a GPS will get you to where you want to go. Virtually every road in the region is "the road less travelled" and you really can't go wrong with any of them. Part III coming soon.

    The Owyhee

    Culebra Canyon After the whiskeyed revelry the night before, it was a slow and painful wake-up for the crew, especially when we discovered that neither Jason nor Kevin had brought a French press either. Desperate for caffeine, we mixed Folgers and hot cocoa and sat around camp until our...

    The Owyhee

    I recently spent ten days with a few friends in the Owyhee Desert of Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon, scouting the first six sections of a larger route that I've been working on for several years now. The plan called for the larger Utah Rovers crew to meet up in Salt Lake and drive northwest but as...

    Tool Development in Progress

    Carl, the owner of Tiktaalik, is a well-respected member of a several of Land Rover- and expedition-related forums including this one, and posts non-business-related discussion under his personal account. Yes, his Tiktaalik posts do read a bit like those of a marketing executive but you're...

    Who makes the very best white gas stoves and lanterns?

    I'm surprised that the little lantern was made in 1999. It has that awesome, ****ty 1980s brown paint job. That little lantern is the perfect size for me. The only thing that would make it better is a ****ty plastic case for it.

    Who makes the very best white gas stoves and lanterns?

    Thanks for that offer. I will take you up on it. My plan is to give it a bath in Ballistol and water and scrub it gently with a plastic scouring pad (but testing first to make sure that the finish isn't damaged). I'm stoked about this score and I really appreciate your input. Without...

    Who makes the very best white gas stoves and lanterns?

    Those vintage Colemans are awesome. What a nice collection. That 413 isn't as big as I remembered.

    Who makes the very best white gas stoves and lanterns?

    I'm looking to relegate my Snow Peak propane camping gear to summertime use only and buy a set of white gas gear for the other seasons. White gas is more space-efficient, packs nicely in MSR fuel bottles, and never fails when the weather gets cold like a propane can does. The difficulty is...

    GE MVS

    Yep, I've spent a lot of time on that site. I need a USB<->TTL cable with the little Molex (I think...) 5x2 connector on the end.

    GE MVS

    By chance does anyone here use a GE MVS radio and have a programming cable for it? I'm trying to program some radios and the USB<->TTL cable that I'd planned to use isn't working.

    Kilbey Airboss on board air system for Dodge Ram 24valve

    It's most likely a York 210 compressor. They come in two varieties: one with a left-hand air inlet and one with a right-hand. I don't remember which one folks use in their Defenders but you could find it on D90 Source. Once you know which York you need, it's just a matter of building the...

    Liquid Logic Hoss kayak + accessories

    If you guys can figure out shipping, I'm happy to coordinate delivery to whoever is going to move it. It's too big for a standard pallet, though. It would either need a custom pallet/box or a ton of bubble wrap.

    Liquid Logic Hoss kayak + accessories

    The gear is in Tacoma, WA now. I'm happy to drop it with a U-Ship shipper at the buyer's expense and risk.
