    Toilet Solution for LONG TERM Overlanding trips

    We do a lot of close work with Georgia Tech here at the lab. I think it would be worthwhile contacting Jasmine: http://www.wishforwash.org/ http://www.news.gatech.edu/features/solving-global-crisis Maybe if we all put our heads together with these young folks we can come up with a better...

    What do you really NEED for overlanding

    I'm from "up north" originally... I seem to remember we had our own version of Deliverance going on. http://weirdnj.com/stories/fabled-people-and-places/jackson-whites/

    What do you really NEED for overlanding

    You're not from around here, are you? Banjo music attracts rural folk where we camp.

    Key piece of gear for Bear Country.

    I forgot the air horn; that's on the headboard in our teardrop. Haven't had to use it. Almost all black bears seem to avoid us when we've got the dog along. Bears are hunted around here like crazy and I don't think that makes the bears overly fond of dogs.

    Key piece of gear for Bear Country.

    We've hiked trails in northern Alberta down to the Mexican line and, out there, the only thing that actually got in our faces was a pair of elk bulls; another hiker woke them up as they snoozed (remarkably concealed) in some tall grass. Startled the daylights out of us. A grizzly charged at our...

    12 gauge Mossy with 00. UDAP #12 pepper spray. https://www.cabelas.com/product/UDAP-HP-Bear-Spray-with-Hip-Holster/741401.uts?slotId=2 I was cornered and harassed by a medium sized black bear sow and her two cubs one time. Florida stand-off, and all I had was a Bowie knife. She never got...

    The best adventure travel boots.

    Thanks, Tom. I might give them a try if my Million-Mile Durands ever wear out. I only use them if the trail is nasty sharp, too muddy, or cold. People laugh but I usually just wear these now...

    2018 Easter Jeep Safari Concepts

    Fun styling exercises but nothing practical for me ---- I can't fit in a JL. http://www.wranglerforum.com/f714/tall-jeep-owners-2217705.html They must not have had any tall people in the design team. :( :poop: I was really looking forward to a diesel JL next...

    SOLD: 2005 Northern Lite 10.2 Special Addition Truck Camper

    It's because you're from Australia, mate. Sad to see the land-yacht go. We'll be camping on Allatoona this weekend if you want to take it out one more time. McKaskey Creek.

    The next build my brother and I

    This is for Scott this time, right? Not sure how he'll be able to stand up and still get the bugger in the garage.... Can't wait to see it happen though.

    Hiking boots with neutral sole or no arch support...

    It was weird with the Russells. I sent in the tracings and ordered the Thula Thulas in all waterproof leather. I got a call from the old man himself and talked about fit. My left foot is a 13 or 13.5 wide and right is a 14 medium ----- he agreed. I also explained that that I like zero drop & a...

    Hiking boots with neutral sole or no arch support...

    I tried Russel and they failed. Did not fit, not even close. In good weather I have a pair of Altra Lone Peaks and NM Minimus 4. I like the NB better ---- the Altras got funky after I washed them. Around the office I wear LEMS. In bad weather I use Keen Durand but I like the look of the new...

    Socks

    Nothing wrong with self expression, mate. But there are proper ways of doing it. Like switching to champagne corks for special occasions.

    Why use a RTT?

    We had a Conqueror Compact for a few years and used the heck out of it. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/conqueror-compact-trailer-ga.459186/ RTT on a trailer. The benefits multiply.... But honestly, a new member starting a troll thread like this on ExPo. Thou shalt not question the Holy...

    Socks

    There are only a couple of colors that men should wear. Khaki, beige (not ecru or taupe), olive drab, black, & brown. Grey is okay for the gym. White for socks. Anything else and you're likely a poofter.
