I have worked in the overland industry 25+ years, I have heard some bad stories of people traveling both domestically and internationally having to deal with mechanical issues and parts availability.

Another note on a van vs truck camper, if you are on an extended trip and have mechanical issues, you lose your home/accommodations while the van is in the shop. If you have a truck camper, you could swap it to a rental truck or drop it in a campground while the truck is worked on. And to add to...

I went, good times. I didn't tie, only brought barley pops, played with the dogs and had some good conversations.

I have been involved in the off-road and overland industry for my entire working life. To help keep our trails open, many Jeep and other off-road clubs organize spring trail cleanups (removing downed trees, repairing or building new bridges, etc.) and also large cleanups like Pick Up A Mountain...

I renewed mine a couple of weeks ago and just checked to see if my catch records are showing on the app. I only see a Columbia Sturgeon catch card. I only fish and never catch anything (just starting out fly fishing) so I will give them some time to figure out all the bugs.

Just imagine if Ángel Hernández were still umpiring 😅

That company was next to my booth at a tradeshow a couple of years ago. Pretty cool, very basic setup.

Dang it... 🤦‍♂️

Marshawn spoke to us local media; he just didn't want to be recorded. His reason was that he didn't like talking about his own play because he wanted everyone around him to get the credit for his performance. There are even old videos of him as a kid, only talking about his teammates.

Happy Opening Day! Since we have an NFL thread, might as well start the MLB version. Will this finally be the year for the Mariners?

He's also had some issues internally with the team, bringing his entourage or social media crew to the team building when not supposed to per team rules, or live-streaming after a game in the locker room, which he also wasn't supposed to (because of past rants). Because of his talent, his...

If you want really basic, check out the Four Wheel Camper Project-M. Basically, a canopy with a pop-up sleeping area. Nothing in the bed, so if you want fancy, you could build out the interior. Or just throw your gear in the back and go. I have someting similar on my Gladiator, but a wedge style...

I spilled a pile of bird seed yesterday, so I set up the camera to see what I would capture. Not the best photos, but for what I will use the camerA and for $30 I can't complain.

Plenty of options on Etsy. $250 is a little excessive considering I have a couple of plastic ones for my tenkara rods.

I picked up a couple of these cameras for camping. It's always fun to set up and see what's walking around in or around camp. Quality won't win you any photo contests, but they do what I need them to do. https://amzn.to/4t3e5xs
