    Five best overland vehicles in North America?

    A library I used to go to had a bunch of the Mercedes Benz magazine from the 50s. There were lots of articles about people driving their Mercedes from England (or where ever) to India and China. Lots of pictures of stock sedans driving through the Khyber Pass and over the Himalayas and such...

    Five best overland vehicles in North America?

    I don't know about the rest of Latin America but Dodge Ram trucks are popular at least in Northern Mexico as are full size Fords. There also seem to be a fair number of Nissan trucks. I would want to choose a vehicle was easy to find parts for. That might be different for Asia and Latin...

    The best adventure travel boots.

    I recently bought a 2nd pair of Keens. The first pair was still going strong after 5 years. During that time I wore my Bronx desert hiking, and walking all over Manhattan and never had a problem. The only reason I bought a new pair was that the old pair was starting to show their age and the...

    I just bought a pair of Filson brush pants in shelter cloth. They make a pair that is cover cloth and a little lighter. I was walking through the desert and felt my leg brush against something. I looked down and saw I was rubbing against a big prickly pear. The only problem is that even now...

    The longest I've ever seen was a 6 door model. I might have to go to Rocky Point and try and see a 10 door. There are some funny looking cars driving around RP. Chad

    WTB SPOT and asking for info

    I think if you are going to be where there is no cover and you have a clear view of the sky then the Spot is worthwhile. The reviews talk too much about the units not getting a signal and there being no way of telling whether or not your SOS went through. I would hate to be waiting for help to...

    Ham License Books

    When I took the test I just did one of the online practice tests over and over. It uses the same question pool as the actual test and if you take the online practice test enough times you will get familiar wit all the questions. I got pretty close to 100% when I took the test. Now I just need...

    The "Expedition hat" thread

    Hi, this is my first post. I have been lurking for a few days and my love of my Tilley prompts me to post! I have had my Tilley T3 for around 10 years. It is made of thick canvas and I don't think it will ever wear out. When it gets too dirty I throw it in the washing machine and it looks as...
