No, I am not getting married. I did that eighteen years ago and I am still quite happy. What I mean to say is, this post about finding something new in something old, sort of. Let me explain…
34 – Movement & Images
“Time is the fire in which we burn.” – Delmore Schwartz
The problem with a “modern society” is time. We never seem to have enough of it. We are always trying to make the most of it. We are afraid to waist it. We live and die by the clock. We plan. We Prepare. We wait for the perfect time.
It will never come.
33 – Adventure is necessary…
To start with, I am a terrible blogger. It is not something I do full time, nor do I have the time to commit to it full time. The fact is, life happens. It happens everyday.
32 – Persistence of Vision
I every endeavor, there comes a time, a moment really, when you must make a decision to go forward, stop, or go back to the beginning and start all over again. The choice can be a daunting one, but it does’t need to be.
31 – Budget update
I know, I know … no one likes to talk about money. But there is always a cost, especially with four wheel drive. So before we get started, I should point out that I paid only $1800 for the Isuzu Vehicross, and it did not move under it’s power when I got it. Basically, it was a pile of crap that I have been trying to save from the scrap heap. My wife? She thinks I should have picked a different vehicle all together. Don’t get me wrong, she thinks it’s “cute”, but after almost a year and only being able to go off-road once in all that time is taking it’s toll on her confidence. Not just in the Vehicross but, I think, in me as well.
30 – Overlanding & Prepping
The idea came to me while organizing some of my gear. My camping gear. I would not call myself a “prepper” but as I was folding my sleeping bag I wondered just how different Overlanding was from a prepper looking to “Bug Out” to some secret squirrel hideaway?
29 – The Ulitmate Budget Winch?
I have always believed that anything is possible. This is true of just about any goal you can name. Everything from learning to shave as a young man to going to the moon and beyond is all within the reach of each of us. As a species we humans are endlessly adaptable and our unique ability to solve complex problems has enabled the greatest innovations the wold has ever known. My goal is not to go to the moon, but rather to go Overlanding.
28 – Rust
I took some time off for myself, and to get closer to finishing my degree. However, work must continue on my little off-roader. Today I took the plastic cladding off the front of my Isuzu Vehicross and found something truly menacing … rust …
27 – Trip Planning
Planning an extended trip can be frustrating and costly. I myself am planning a trip in my little Isuzu Vehicross. More than one actually. As my budget build progresses, I will need to test the capabilities and the reliability of the Vehicross before I take it on extended trips.
26 – Project Management
Have you ever started something only to find out as you go along that it is becoming more complex than you had originally thought it would be? That is the case with my little Isuzu. That is not to say it is beyond my skill level, but it can seem overwhelming at times. In this post I will cover all of the incomplete projects that I have either started, or at least have started to gather parts for.
