Time for a new Overland Route

How many times do we in the overloading space hear folks talk about their dream trip to the Arctic Ocean or travel to the whole Pan-American highway. Of course, those are my dreams as well, but at this time in my life Im going to concentrate on some routes that only need about a weekendContinue reading “Time for a new Overland Route”

Winter’s coming, let’s go car camping!

Pull up a warm seat by the fire and let’s talk about a misunderstood outdoor activity. When you think about camping in the cold, Im sure your mind jumps to images of being buried in the snow, ice sickles on your nose and no feeling in your toes. Maybe that could happen, but let’s doContinue reading “Winter’s coming, let’s go car camping!”

Hurry up and wait, a parts story.

The 61 International Scout is off to the side waiting for parts. If anyone ever asks you why you have so many projects, this is why. It’s nice to jump to something else while you wait. With the NW Overland Rally 2 weeks away, I need to get back to checking off the list onContinue reading “Hurry up and wait, a parts story.”

Let’s get Jiggy, kind of

Don’t worry, no dancing here, just dreams of overland projects. Now let’s discuss Bronco campers for a moment, or the lack there of. Years ago, Four Wheel Campers made slide in campers for Broncos, Blazers, Scouts etc. However, they are mostly long gone, or very and I mean very expensive. After giving up the dreamContinue reading “Let’s get Jiggy, kind of”

Thoughts from the cab #1

My day to day job on the farm has me sitting in trucks, tractors or in the shop. This time allows me to sneak in a little reading or most often enjoying podcasts. Podcasts can be a great inspiration. I really enjoy overland podcasts where overlanders are interviewed. With a family and a full timeContinue reading “Thoughts from the cab #1”

Busy Busy Busy

Its been a much busier winter than expected. A lot has changed since last August, a career change along with a move to our new farmhouse in the country. Luckily, my family of 5 has managed to stay healthy throughout the winter and COVID 19 has not snuck its way to us. But back toContinue reading “Busy Busy Busy”
