    South Carolina Adventure Route

    Thanks for posting. I live in SC and might have to check it out sometime. Where did you download the route? Also, you think I could run it in my Subaru Outback or would I need to unleash the old Land Cruiser?

    SOLD: M101A2 trailer in Tega Cay, SC

    M101A2 military cargo trailer purchased a few years ago via auction from Fort Benning. The bones are fantastic, but somebody did a rough paint job to change color from olive drab to desert. It's a solid trailer, but I'm going to be moving and won't have a great place to store it. I will include...

    Self-driving overlanding

    How will the rise of self-driving vehicles impact our hobby? I can't imagine that overland vehicles will be great at self-driving on dirt or forest service roads in our lifetime, however, I think we'll see self-driving highway and pavement vehicles within the next decade. I actually like the...

    The ultimate International 4x4 ??

    It looks pretty awesome, but I think I'd rather have the GXV Unimog that's been for sale on EP for $275 k. Not that either is really in my price range, but if I had a few hundred thousand in my camping budget...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Anybody ever think about fabricating a cabover bed extension to create extra space/sleeping accommodations for a pick-up truck style ambulance? I don't think you can pull off the unsupported kingsize bed like the earthroamers, but maybe some supports coming off the front of the frame or a...

    FIRST TIME OUT E450 Ambulance

    Nice set-up! What's the standing head room in the camper section? How much headroom do you lose in the bathroom?

    I don't buy many lottery tickets, but I just picked one up for Power Ball. I'll PM you to set up a showing if I win!

    1985 Unimog in Vancouver, BC

    My first impression on that was that it looked pretty scammy. Even if the Mog has a salvage title, the camper shell alone looks like it could sell for more than the asking price.

    1996 F350 4X4 Ambulance 7.3 Powerstroke 31,500miles Amazing Condition! *SOLD*

    Very good looking rig. I haven't seen many of the truck-based ambulances with the cut-through, not that I'm an expert, but I've looked around a little. GLWS

    M101A-2 Trailer at Auction in New Mexico

    Wow, I got mine from Fort Benning for about $600 all-in. Similar condition, although mine had a layer of desert paint that was peeling off. They painted everything over the original green paint, including the the chains and chaincovers for the tailgate. One of these days I'll get it...

    Quigley 1995 Ford E-series ambulance van on Ebay

    I'm not really looking for something right now, but I've been fantasizing about camper conversions and ran into this 4x4 ambulance on Ebay. Looks like it could be converted into a really solid setup...

    East Buttress of Whitney

    Very cool, I'd definitely like to do Whitney someday, but I'd probably hike instead of climb. I'm an east coaster so I think I'll need to take a long hike to acclimatize to the higher elevation. Highest peak we have here in North Carolina is less than half of Whitney's elevation!

    Backpacking Isle Royale (9/2 - 9/9)

    Thanks for the feedback. I will check out your blog post as soon as I get out of this meeting. While I was still on the plane, I started writing a "Part III, how I would plan my return trip" post and I had the exact same thought about sticking to the coast. Next time, I want to kayak, canoe...

    Backpacking Isle Royale (9/2 - 9/9)

    I'm posting my backpacking trip report to Isle Royale here. Just got back home late Sunday, and my dang job keeps getting in the way of finishing the report, so I decided to split it up into parts. Here is Part 1 on some cool places in the Michigan Upper Peninsula that we visited before...

    show me your in LC bed

    This was what I came up with for sleeping in my Land Cruiser. I think the rooftop tents are really cool, but this is a lot cheaper and is easier to access for my dog. http://expeditiondigest.com/2012/02/07/my-land-cruiser-gets-a-new-bed/#more-120
