The Question: Can two flat-landers from Indiana tackle - off road - the entire Continental Divide in a Toyota Land Cruiser in 21 days and live to tell about it?

Tom’s writing style is understated and lyrically descriptive, using words like the tip of a watercolour brush to outline natural beauty, but pulling [...]

Well, the fuel tank is now in the fabrication stage and with that process occurring at the metal shop the attention has turned back to the drawing table. Obviously the most critical part of the vehicle will be the load carrying area. This rear box will be responsible for storing all of the camping supplies, [...]

Our site of the week is actually an over water adventure company.  Since our next major trip starts in this part of the world (Tierra Del Fuego)  we figured this was a cool site to feature. Their goal is to explore outlying and remote areas in the Southern Hemisphere, with the focus of expeditions on [...]

For every Bogo Light purchased, they send a similar light to an organization of your [...]
