I grew up an army brat so Army/Navy surplus stores were my Toys-r-us. The cool part was a few bucks would go a long way. I still continue that trend for camping and overland stuff. Having used much of this type of equipment in the Marines, I know how much of a beating it can take. I suppose the...

Hey all. I'm a SPOT-X user and am very happy with the system as a whole. But I do have a question about SPOT vs inReach: Do any of you have actual experience using both? As happy as I am with the SPOT-X, I am a long LONG time Garmin user and am looking to switch. I personally do not venture out...

Hey overlanders, I'm putting up a M100 for sale. Price is $1000. Not looking for trades. Back story: Bought this from a dude in North Carolina. As you can see from the pictures, it was in really bad shape when I got it. The suspension was shot and the original floor was a cheese grater. No...

I just posed this in the Mapping and Nav/GIS section: Hey Everyone! Apologies first for not posting in a while. I have been fairly busy the last few months working on some new maps that I think many of you, at least in the US, will be interested in. In the end, this is a business post, but I...

Hey Everyone! Apologies first for not posting in a while. I have been fairly busy the last few months working on some new maps that I think many of you, at least in the US, will be interested in. In the end, this is a business post, but I want to skirt that issue and actually explain why I...

Hey guys. I know many of you all like maps so I though I would share a map I just created for the SMOR (April 12-14). It's a combo of data I used from the East Tennessee Overlanders, data I collected myself, and data from the USGS. The printed maps are 24x36 inch and the scale is 1:50,000...

Hey everyone! I'm pretty excited to announce these two little stoves. I'll link to the website a little lower along with some pics. Anyway, been working with a local fab shop here in Powell, TN for some products, one of which is these stoves. I wanted to come up with something that would...

Hey everyone! This past weekend I was out in the Ozark National Forrest at an overlanding event. Although my trip was cut short (stupid Gas Water heater), I did manage to finalize my WinLink email system. I posted this on my website in the blog/news section, but here it is in the entirety...

Was not really liking my previous antenna location for either antenna. Ground plane was terrible. Got out my multimeter and grinder. Figured out that the front bumper did indeed show continuity to the frame. Mounted the CB whip on the passenger side of the bumper. <1.5:1 SWR. Not even going...

Hey everyone! Let me spam you a quick minute, lol. Just wanted to toss this out there if any of you are interested in also having paper maps as a backup. This was something that I was going to do a few years ago with my original mapping business, but held off on. Since reopening and rebranding...

After seeing a few posts about jerry cans for water, I figured I would post about these: https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/moeller-marine-5-gallon-jerry-can#repChildCatid=652704 https://www.amazon.com/Scepter-04933-Water-Can-5-Gallon/dp/B000MTI0GA The strange thing is that academy lists them...

Hey all. Today I had been scrubbing and sanding on the fenders of my trailer. The underside of the fenders were so Gunked up I decided to soak them them in oven cleaner and most of the gross crap came off afterwards with a pressure washer. While doing so, I came across this marking. Some sort of...

Hey everyone. The military tube type tires on the trailer are pretty rough looking. The inner tubes seem to be ok as they are holding air. But I need new tires none the less. From what I have found on line, 225/75/16 are a good replacement in terms of size. However, it’s the mounting that...

So me being be, I dig military surplus stuff because of good prices and they tend to be fairly rugged. I ran across some parachutes and thought that the would make a decent awning provided good support was used. Yeah, I know awnings can be ready bought, but like I said, I really enjoy working...

So I mounted a cobra 18wx in my wrangler for two reasons: WX band and front firing speaker. It worked fine for a few months and then all of a sudden, ZERO CB reception. Transmit is fine as well of reception of the WX Band. Anyone else experience this? I thought I had read a few things...

I’ll have to edit this later as I’m on my phone and formatting is a little weird. Here is my home brew quasi military rear tire Antenna and Jerry Can mount. I bought the antenna mount from a mil surp store. I believe it’s for a humvee but I guess it does not matter. The two Jerry cans are...
