Same in NA, no bird or brake check.

I am impressed with the depth of knowledge expressed here. As pretty much everything has been covered except personal choice. Being in Canada, you have the option to get a vehicle that is only 15 + years old as opposed to the US 25 years old. If you consider buying a non-domestic truck abroad...

There really is little comparison between the Yamaha and Husky. I will use the Husky as my race bike, but I really needed something street legal that I could use for running errands. No way of getting the Husky street legal here and it makes a pretty miserable street bike especially with a...

I think I am ok with the CV carb as I won’t be hot-rodding the bike and it should handle elevation ok. I appreciate the simplicity.

After years of riding the big bikes, I made a very practical decision and just purchase a 2006 Yamaha Xt 225. I had forgotten how much I like the little dualsports. What seems like 100 years ago my wife and I did a RTW on bikes. I started with a 1988 Suzuki Dr 600 and later swapped for a 640...

Could the air bubbles cause cavitation at the pump and then the pump runs "dry" creating a shut down?

Manufacturers will say no as it is the simplest and safest answer given the manifest ways that people will try and use the thing indoors.

I pondered your point about propane in an enclosed space. My non-vented camplux portable water heater located in my camper bathroom consumes marginally more propane than my 2 non-vented stove rounds. I wouldn't say "don't" but I would definitely take precautions. Propane in high...

"Wheels Afield" claims to be the premier magazine for outdoor enthusiasts interested in off road vehicles, shooting, angling, hunting, camping, outdoor culinary arts and overlanding. It appears to have something for everyone.

I am going to use the motor from one of my electric camper jacks. It may have slower rpm. I will also try to keep the whole motor assembly inside the bed structure which may require a chain drive to the main shaft. I was thinking of bicycle chain/sprockets

I am going to add an elevator bed into my camper in the coming weeks. I won't try to level out the bed because I felt that with my previous ( thick and soft) mattress it tends to compensate for variations in terrain. If angles get ridiculous I have some cribbage for my jack and can throw rocks...

maybe if I put a few of them together. There is alot of flex in the unimog...

There is a lot of movement so I the wire would need to be very slack

I will probably build a light cage with a roof basket, just looking at options. For those of us in the Pacific Northwest, a trip into the backcountry with an 11'+ camper is an arborists nightmare. If only we had elephants and giraffes to trim the under canopy...

Although it is convenient for camping, weekend getaways, boondocking etc, a boat trailer adds a level of complexity to an overland setup especially if its only for purposes of moving a boat. I love my zodiac but it takes up too much room when folded and can't really be used for much else than a...

As my camper is high up (11 1/2') and tends to direct branches between the truck cab and camper I am trying to find a way to mitigate this without increasing the overall height. There is alot of twist between the cab and camper and the camper is also considerably wider than the cab. What are...

LOL, sad little world. Do you even have a passport?

So thanks to a small select group it appears in the context of OVERLANDING we have identified cowardice as a gender fluid, unarmed person (admittedly not afraid of guns) that uses US based MSM-Main Stream Media fear-mongering language (example: cowboy and gun-toting), and an aversion to...

Ok. I think I get it. You are referring to main stream US media?

Can someone tell please tell me what MSM means? It seems to have some significance to NevadaLoser, possibly others.
