Overlanding Gear

Nice! Yeah, it's been a great spot for them. Those orange Titan straps are awesome too too you've never used those.

Never heard of them, I am looking for something a little better then what I'm using now. I will check them out now. They are just called Titan straps?

Here are some links. This is their site:

And you can find them on Amazon here:

They're actually made back in my hometown of Bozeman, MT. Highly recommended. We've used them on multi-day hunting trips in the backcountry to secure stuff and they always hold up great.

Thanks for the information, I will be getting some for sure! I can always use some good straps over bungee cords.

Hopefully I never need to use all of the functions...

Nice! What plan are you going with?

I like the concept of this step and "cat walk" for the hood. Seems like it would make roof top gear access much easier.

That does look very helpful, especially for those that are a bit shorter. I like that idea.

I have heard good things about the Fiskars so I picked one up to add to the camping gear. Anyone else have one and how do you like it?

Those look nearly identical to the gerber. I wonder if one is just a rebrand of the other.

Possibly, I like the price I gave for the Fiskars a little better $30.27. Just hope it is as good as the reviews I have read. I'll be trying it out next weekend camping with the family at the lake.

Harley74 I have the axe and hatchet. Very sharp, light weight, durable and worth every penny.

Anyone try out the new Rtic coolers yet? Curious how well they work vs the Yeti or pelican coolers. At nearly half the price they look like a viable $saving option.

Yes, Fiskars Corp owns both brands.

Nice! What plan are you going with?

Going to get the Recreation annual plan (24.95/month). I may bump it down to the Safety Plan but I can't get over the .10¢ per tracking and location ping.

You can adjust the ping to every four hours I believe. Or just send your location when you want. I went cheap with the safety plan. The phone app is way easier to use to send texts etc. lol

Now I'm on the fence. Going to use the phone app for sure.

Have to run the numbers, but it looks like you might be able to take advantage "Freedom Plan" and move up/down as necessary. Depending on the amount and times of year you need the bigger access. :idontknow:

I thought moving up was free, but moving down costs money.

$25 lets you move up and down, but it costs little more per month.

I move up and down for free if the mood gets me.
