    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    Haha. I own an Izakaya. Japanese and Korean food. We have woks. 250k-350k btu per burner baby. 20-30 nozzles per pan. Cooking is about controlling carmalizarion. I see the merits of induction in a camping environment for people who choose to do so. I do not and will never. Most of my cooking is...

    Summer Overlanding in Nunavut at 69 deg. N. Latitude - The Search for the Tomb of Captain Sir John Franklin Continues!! (part 1)

    Absolutely amazing. What an experience! I hope to be able to get into the Arctic in the coming years. Got a couple heavy work years then hopefully north. For now I'll live vicariously through you!

    Summer Overlanding in Nunavut at 69 deg. N. Latitude - The Search for the Tomb of Captain Sir John Franklin Continues!! (part 1)

    NOPEC, I LOVED the Terror, both the novel and the show! Such a great mashup of history/folklore and I'm a huge Jared Harris fan. Everything he touches is gold. Not unexpected being Richard Harris's son. I've had The Abdominal on my list for some time. With the weather turning, seems like now is...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    True. Heat pumps, especially 12v inverter variable types, are amazing. We just outfitted our entire bar with heat pumps. Cold weather handling has improved greatly. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced 12v heat pump for our application? I should disclose I am a fire enthusiast (borderline...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    You know what else can be a right pain in the but? An elaborate and delicate electrical system with key functionality (eat, shower, heat) tied to electronics. I'm fine with induction cooktops etc all power to you and all, but I have no desire to ditch propane. Multiple systems, one fuel. Do you...

    1ton diesel truck for North and South America

    Tell that to the hundreds (thousands?) who have done so with great success over the last few decades.

    Summer Overlanding in Nunavut at 69 deg. N. Latitude - The Search for the Tomb of Captain Sir John Franklin Continues!! (part 1)

    Great thread! That is a bucket list trip to be sure. I too have a deep regard for the heroic era of Arctic exploration. I thought the Terror, based on the fictionalized mystic novel of the same name, was an excellent and wildly entertaining show! I've always fancied that Captain Crozier indeed...

    Smoking Deal on Light Fixer Revcon

    If the meth test comes back negative, which I really doubt, grab it! Would be a fun waste of a couple years.

    1ton diesel truck for North and South America

    I think going with a 5.9 Cummins or 7.3 power stroke would be fine. Only "proprietary" parts on the 7.3 are directly engine or diesel fuel related. But that engine has about 4 critical sensors and a simple control board ECM. Bring spares. Almost everything else is a direct swap with any other...

    New Garmin inReach - inReach Messenger Plus

    This is a real upgrade for sure but Iridium really screwed up when they launched the NEXT constellation, with way faster speeds and sequestered it for industrial use only. They will eventually bleed everything to Starlink and the other D2C companies. Remember eventually Starlink will not...

    Question about 2500 HD for Overland Platform

    I have a 3500hd. I HATE the way Chevy frames sag down in the cab area. The body hangs way lower. The IFS is fine but much more complex. Rams have the best turning radius of the big 3 by far. If you're going to load a camper get a 3500 or 350 zero doubt. Same trucks higher GVWR. I see virtually...

    Phone applications which record GPX tracks, which can then be exported?

    Same. I never record tracks just waypoints. Mostly critical water and technical route beta. Small sections at most. I know where I went. Track recording is almost useless IMHO.

    Phone applications which record GPX tracks, which can then be exported?

    All major phone based apps can export. Every one has its own flavor of stupid to do so.

    Portable Reverse Osmosis Water System?

    RO water tastes bad and has its own waste stream you have to deal with. Remember water wants to have minerals in it. RO removes everything so water will want to re-minaralize itself. Yes you can use re-minaralizing filters but that adds xomplexity. So it will take minerals from whatever it...
