So sorry for you and your wife. These are terrible times. Wishing you the very best with your sale and future endeavors.

Still missing my dog. We were moving furniture around the other day and I f It is the electric braking system for the trailer that Mark installed. I’ll see if I can get the manufacture’s name in the morning. The system only works when the trailer is attached to the vehicle.

Has anyone else been following the Inka Outdoors fiasco? Back in 2018 I almost put a down payment on one. Thank goodness I didn’t! What a scam. A lot of good people got stiffed by the owner. Another prominent company went down that same road and at about the same time. There have been some...

Congratulations to Mark and Mission Overland! The Summit has been selected as best poptop trailer of 2020 by Expedition Portal. I jumped over to the Mission website and watched their video. Wow, lots of very nice upgrades to the Summit since I purchased Beastie #1 Summit. Can't wait to get...

Sweet! GLWS

Thanks Wendell, I’ll check it out.

Thanks Ryan, your info is the perfect place to start. I just looked on Amazon and Ebay. couldn't find that specific size or number. Every blooming thing but.... but, I'll find it somewhere. Dale

Great idea! Can you do me a favor? Check your propane tank and get me the brand and model/number for it? I have received one of Mark's more recently designed propane mounts, but my present tank doesn't work well with it. Dale

Merry Christmas everyone! This not so perfect year is drawing to a close. Adios! My New Year's resolution, and wish for all of us, is to get out more, stay longer, and worry about the planning minutia less. Montana and Idaho fly fishing streams are calling. There are still a LOT of backcountry...

Too bad I'm 6'1" :(

Nope, not yet. But have you ever looked at the antenna arrays attached to the bumpers in ARB's ads? These ads appear to be made in Australia. They show beautifully contructed VHF/UHF and separate HF antennas. The HF antennas are typically short, being no more than a meter or so in height...

High Frequency (HF) amateur radio is a great addition to overlanding. Imagine setting up camp in a remote location then chatting with someone in Europe, South America, Africa, or Asia. Spot on fun! With the awning on the trailer, or if in inclement weather, via the table inside it, you can...

With not being able to get out as much this year as I wanted, I invested time in another addiction; ham radio. I've been a ham for 40 years the end of December. My greatest enjoyment is to contact hams that live in other countries. This activity is called DXing. After such a contact we can...

Nice shots! Is that Lake Superior in the top photo? Those look like 80 series LC wheels on the trailer. Am I right?

Only two times out this year due to Covid. How did everyone else fare? I'm still planning on doing the ORBDR and HOTW trips in 2021. This was Tucker's last camping trip. We had to put him down a couple of weeks ago. He had a great life and lived to be almost 15. But what a hole in our...

The air track I installed earlier this fall sure is working out well. It gives me a place to carry several canvas totes full of firewood for camping. BTW, we've been using those Kermit chairs for over a decade now. We love them; very comfortable! I wish I could figure out a simple way to...

Lokks like the cold weather is slowing things down here. So I thought I'd toss something up to Mike and the gang who have either done this already, or who are thinking about doing it. Now the the nighttime temps are in the low 20's deg. F., its time for me to work out in my unheated garage...

As a Viet Nam vet, happy veterans day to you!

Beastie has officially been put into storage in the garage for the winter months. It was a very tight fit, but its in. We have several projects we will be working on. I'll put up picks as they are completed. I wanted to go back to the southwest US for a month or so this winter with SWMBO...

Mark lives about 150 km north of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He drove all that way to resolve Mike’s door issue. I’m impressed!
