Thinking of making a big change after my next trip
What do yall think of this. Swapping my current overlanding rig which is a 2023 Raptor R - kitted out to the moon and back for a 1985 Suburban. Here’s my thoughts on it. I paid a dash over 100k for the Raptor, it’s a couple years away from being paid off. It’s holding its value really well, should make a good chunk back if I sold it. I could get an old suburban for 20k-ish and restó-mod it specifically for overlanding for about another 30. Why does the suburban make sense for me.
One week to go on our 20 day overlanding roadtrip
1st Post We made it to Portland Maine today. Still taking tons of photos and we still need to create a shared folder but wanted to show you guys some more photos. Also still working on a trip journal that I will share when it’s ready. After Niagara Falls and Toronto, we headed across NY and into Vermont. Apologies for the erratic text and photos. We are busy and usually during our downtime we are just enjoying nature at camp. Happy to answer any questions. submitted by /u/Sheldons_spot [link] [comments]
Bluetooth GPS device suggestions
I have a Dual XGPS150 and I’m ready to throw it in the trash. If it ever gets a signal, it takes over an hour and you can’t be moving. If you’re driving, forget it. It can take 3-4 hours. My setup is an iPad mini (no cellular) and OnX. Even using my phone, the GPS isn’t very accurate, so I don’t think a newer iPad with cellular is the answer. Most of my trips are in and around Vermont NF land, so it’s rare to have any cell service. anyone have something they like? submitted by /u/Eat_sleep_poop [link] [comments]
I've been tasked with weekend camp appetizers - what's your favorite?
Headed up on a weekend excursion with a group of 10-12 people and wondering what are your "camp friendly" appetizers? Fire ban has been lifted, so open campfire is available plus camp stove and Weber Q. I'm already planning on bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers and maybe some spinach artichoke dip. Any ideas? submitted by /u/benuntu [link] [comments]
IPhone Satellite Messaging - does it support sending to toll-free numbers?
I'm setting up a toll-free text line that people could use to text for weather updates or alerts while out of service. Before I rely on it, I need to know if it actually works from Messages via satellite when out of cell range. Some services block short codes and toll-free numbers, and I can't find a clear answer for Apple's satellite texting. submitted by /u/stravinsky_ [link] [comments]
Recommendations for "headquarters tent"
I'm in a 4WD club and we do a lot of winter trips to the desert, Death Valley, Panamint, etc. Looking for a large weather-resistant tent we could use that could be carried in the back of a pickup truck or strapped to the roof of a Jeep and could accommodate 4-8 people sitting around in bad weather. A place to sit and have dinner out of the rain, use as a warming hut (with a couple of diesel heaters running) or just a place to hang out and play cards and have some whiskey while the wind and rain are howling outside.
Kyrgyzstan rental Overlanding
Hey all, greetings from Greece. I am thinking of visiting this summer. I have a jeep gladiator built as an overland rig in Greece and travel as much as I can. Would really love to come with my rig but it’s too far away.. do you guys have any suggestions as to where I should look for Overlanding rentals (roof top tent etc)? Maybe a guide as well. Thanks submitted by /u/polaxgr [link] [comments]
Halfway through a 20 day road trip
We left Atlanta on October 1st for a 20 day overland trip pulling a small trailer with the hope of catching the foliage change in New England. Today was the halfway point and we spent last night and the next couple just outside Acadia National Park on the coast of Maine. This has been an amazing trip so far. Looking forward to the other half. I will have several more photo dumps as the GF and I are both taking photos. Hope you enjoy our photos. submitted by /u/Sheldons_spot [link] [comments]
WiFi situation in EU + Turkey
From the US + planning for Europe Originally wanted to get starlink mini but it’s not supported in Turkey, which I’ll be spending a few weeks in. If I wanna get a portable router that I can insert a SIM card into, it’s like $200 and even then idek if it’ll be enough. What the max download/upload speed you can get with a sim in a portable router? I need a good stable connection for remote desktop setup. If I can’t get a good connection with a portable router, my next option is working out of game cafes or something like that.
How do you deal with no cellular coverage in emergencies
Hey guys, I'm curious how you ensure you can get in contact with emergency services when necessary - I know there are Garmin Intouch devices and satellite phones, but the subscriptions can be quite expensive. Do you do any trip planning in terms of having regular connectivity or knowing where you can find connectivity nearby? Would an app that helps you find nearby signal or the last spot on your drive where you had signal, be useful to you? submitted by /u/za_snake_guy [link] [comments]
