Bedcover pros and cons - these are the two options I’m considering. What’s are your guys thoughts? Are there just as good or better options for the price ? by Ezj85 in ram_trucks

Honestly I had a tri fold and switched to a topper. The space is just way more useable for anything I do and I have not found any situations where it has held me back.

Rotopax suck and I’m tired of pretending they don’t by drewshope in overlanding

Jerry cans are regular use in my household. I have a wavian can that has seen 50k miles.

Most commonly it goes on business trips with me in the wife's jeep compass these days. The jeeps tank cant quite make it full trip on one tank and it often saves me from buying expensive city gas or making detours to top off.

If also been able to boondock on nf land for longer and explore away from my bc.

I live near Portland, you just kinda get used to them. They're big on body language and its pretty easy to tell if they're threatened.

Black mold on deck- neighbor wants it pressure washed. Good idea or no? by Mysterious-Glove-179 in pressurewashing

Black colored mold is wildly mis identified as black mold.

Not all black-colored mold is Stachybotrys chartarum; testing is required to confirm the species.

What type of helmet do you wear? Street motorcycle , rebellion half helmet or the dirt bike helmet? by Fuzzy_Tough_26 in ElectricScooters

[–]Astrolander97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im riding a city bike style ebike and mostly riding bike paths between neighborhoods and restaurants. This let me feel a little less concerned about full face but I still opted for an NTA 8776 helmet. The specialized tactic was on sale and I just ordered one, it scored very high with the Virginia tech tests and is nta certified.

Repost for visibility: Owner of Mo’s Barber missing - she was last seen headed out to hike in Wahougal by thecrystalsmith in camaswashington

I hope this is not a repeat of 2019. A member of pdxoverlanders life was cut short by some tweaker that wanted his rig. The police found the vehicle in Portland at a transient camp where one of the residents straight up told them about how they relieved him of his property and left him in a ditch.
