Similar to the shiny, never-been-off-highway mall cruisers or faux monster trucks that teenagers love[ed?] so much.

Here's how I approach spare gas on my slow speed 4WD excursions: 1. Carried on the rear in city traffic or at high speed freeway traffic is a bad idea. Once on your dirt adventure begins, where the chances of being rear-ended are nil, it doesn't matter. 2. Carried on the roof (the way I do it...

Yeah, that's what everyone wants to know.

Lifetime folding 2x4'. Also have an REI aluminum slat table that's smaller.

Engel MT 45. In '97 Toyota 4Runner, strapped down in the back, access through the open tail hatch. Works for 7-8 days for 1, 4-5 days for 2. Could be made to work for longer trips by only using it for genuinely perishable food like meat and certain vegetables. The MT-45 (which I think has a...

I bought a safety Seal kit about 15 years ago. I bring it when going to remote places but have never needed it. I've renewed the plugs once or twice in case they "go bad". Also cary 2 tall cans of fix a flat and if going really remote, 2 ways to inflate a tire, motor- and hand-powered

Missed this when first posted. Nice info about an area I haven't been to yet. The drone pano shots are most excellent.

I got one these Gerber things back when they were around $50 or less---I have no idea why they'd be $100...

I had a scepter 10L can that leaked. Even when carried right-side-up along rough roads, it'd leak from around the edge of the cap, and wet the car floor. Turned out the screw top was warped. I could clearly see that it was out of round once I took it all the way off and stared straight at it...

Deal gone, discontinued, must have sold out.

Some folks do a thing where they install a nice, fat group 31-sized battery and get by for a couple days with the fridge(not set to freezing), and still have enough for starting. Can a group 31 be made to fit under the hood of a JK? AGM "combo start + deep cycle" batteries are generally favored...

Yep, actual buttons and controls are nice..touch screens are overrated. My Montana is OK, interface-wise....I use it, and get what I need from it. Garmin ONLY mentions "maps you can download from us, including USGS Quads". I'm not familiar with the term "reverse engineered IMG compilers", but...

Their OS's and GUI design seem like they are from 1983---pre-Mac and Windows. From all I can find out, the Overlander cannot use maps that aren't provided by Garmin....which makes it crippled in my estimation. I still want a Garmin Montana with a 7" screen.

I want to know if it can accept non-Garmin maps, such as the CalTopo ones you can download from gpsfiledepot.com. Garmin's product promo literature did not answer my question when I looked.

I have 4 of the 10L and a couple of the 20L. 10Ls are way easier to load/unload, and less awkward to handle. I bring the 20L only if I'm going to use a shower.

Yes, its intended use is to sit in the basement of telephone switching building waiting for the weekly test and, in case of mains failure, to sit in the switching building basement and provide power to the landline system while the emergency generator comes up to speed. Being moved a lot...

Nice report, Thanks for posting.

I live in California and I've bought Scepter spares from DS (formerly Dave's) in BC before.
