It is a great spot and one we will go to again. We may stop there on our way to Rim Rocker.

It was. I am leading a group to Kirwin in two weeks. I agree Wyoming is amazing. So many things to see. I have several videos of Wyoming feel free to check them out.

@@mtnmnchronicles definitely will, it has quickly become a favorite of ours now after several trips.

Sorry for the delay. I was exploring the Big Horn mountains. The tread has maps and trails. Additionally, recommend doing some research and using the Tread. I use Trails Off Road, which has detailed outlines, and you can download the GPS routes.

Feel to PM me or email I will send GPX links to places I have been

@@mtnmnchronicles Thanks for your help

I am not sure what vehicle you have, but you can use a ram mout or equivalent to .kunt it. Also Garmin had a 12 volt direct wire kit to free up your cig plug

I drilled a hole between the storage box and main area and used these water tight nuts. See link below. Also see my video on my Mission Overland one year review to see how I touted the wires Nuts amzn.to/4dXK6Ar

Great idea

Love the idea.

Thank you. Yes, it shows the speed, and turns red when you are exceeding the limit. Additionally, it give warnings for road hazards and conditions. Example being curves, steep hills. It does not give an audible warning, as far as I can find. Thank you again

I did additional research this morning. I stand corrected. The alerts are available. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-157A2412-594F-45D8-A5EE-5A5327DA0914/EN-GB/GUID-E2A9F5DC-493F-48B9-9B96-46FE811AC624.html&ved=2ahUKEwibjubqs4iGAxV_JzQIHcY6A2YQFnoECBcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2ju12pdrfA9ZP3mXXxD0Tl

Much appreciated Paul

I have a video that goes over the Tread App and Web App being released tomorrow.

Yes, but I do not think I covered it in the video. I will send some pictures and a write up by the end of the weekend

Thx! One of the problems I’m encountering is once I’ve got the tracks and waypoints on the Tread app on my smartphone… how do I get them across to the Tread Overland device? It all seems very random… sometimes they appear on the Tread straightaway… other times I have to go through all sorts of procedures… thx!

@streakychambers658 I had some issues initially. It turned out to be a corrupted GPX file. I had to look at the Sync Log on the Tread app to find it. Once I deleted the file it worked. It's not fast, it does take about 5 min to Sync depending on number of changes.

Thank you

Thanks

Yes. It's a must-have as far as I am concerned

Yes. Not to bad. Slippery though

I used two rotopax Mounts. Drilled them in

@@mtnmnchronicles thanks!! I was looking at the seasucker mounts so I could put them on the back but I hear they don’t work well with vinyl wraps.

I used the 3 gallon rotopax Mounts. I had to drill three holes to mount them

Agree. I usually go to 20

Thank you

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks. It was, unfortunately I had some memory card problems, the shelf road was epic.

Thank you for your comment. I always appreciate people's input and thoughts. I used OnX and my Garmin this week on an adventure and had some challenges with OnX keeping on the trail. Also, it does not support turn-by-turn. But there are many things I found I liked about OnX too. I do agree with the purchase price; the tread can be pricey. Here is why I chose Garmin Tread. I used a Garmin Montana for years and then went to the Garmin 66I. I still own the 66I and use it when I hike or hunt. After 6 years, I decided to upgrade my GPS and Inreach. I almost purchased a 700I , but decided on the Tread because I wanted a dedicated Rig mounted device. IMO it is a personal preference there is wrong answer. For me personally, I did not like loading maps on ONX and Gaia, I do not have to do this on a Garmin. I wanted to be able to share maps and GPX’s files with people. You can not do this with OnX, but you can with Gaia. I wanted to lessen my dependency on multiple devices in my kit (one for InReach, the other for mapping). I have been a long-time Garmin user of Montana, Inreach Mini Vrs1, 66I, Garmin Overlander and now Tread. I have all my maps in Garmin Explorer on the Web and can easily share them. I understand the concern about all maps and everything on one device; It is a legitimate concern. The same can be said for using a Tablet for mapping, and I believe in redundancy. Therefore I keep paper maps of areas I travel to, and also use Mapping apps with a basic map function on my phone. My phone acts as a secondary device in case of a Garmin failure. That said I have never had a Garmin fail me. I have with Gaia and OnX where the maps did not load correctly or I missed a portion of the map because of an unplanned detour. I believe people have choices, and there is no wrong choice for each individual. If OnX works for you and your son, then that would be great. It is a great tool, there are things I like about it. What is important is that you are out there exploring and enjoying the experience. I appreciate your comments and thoughts. Paul

Thanks for asking. I used strong industrial Velcro, in case I ever have to remove it. Another option was to screw a mount. I am not a fan of drilling into my interior if I can avoid it. It's held strong for two years.

@@mtnmnchronicles Thanks!!

Totally agree

Thanks. This is a very beautiful spot not far from Sioux Falls.

Thanks for the feedback. I will make the adjustments

I am happy to answer questions about the Tread.

Thanks for the feedback.

Nice. You won't be disappointed

Glad you like them. What do you use?

Thank you

Yes, I 100% remote camp. The first thing I did was upgrade to 2 100 ah lithium batteries and add 400 Watts of solar and a 50 amp to DC converter. My latest project is to add 2 more 200 ah of lithium.

I am on the MO Facebook page. IM me. I am always happy to chat

Thanks for replying. I have owned both the Overlander and the Tread Overlander. I am happy to answer questions if you have any. And thanks for the feedback on the music.

@@mtnmnchronicles I appreciate that. I'm in Minnesota, actually headed out to the Black Hills in May I think I'm pretty well sold on the unit. Seems like a much better option for a 48 year old Toyota than the tablet I've been using

It has a learning curve, but I do like it better than a tablet with apps.. I still use Gaia to plan my routes and tracks, then move them to the Garmin for trip use. I find the Garmin intuitive to use and more rugged than a tablet.

@KBrogger When you head to the Black Hills, let me know. You will be passing through my town. If I am around I would be happy to meet you. Also, there are some great places to explore on the way.

@@mtnmnchronicles We'll be north a little on 14 when we come through. It's a short trip. Drive out Friday, trails Saturday/Sunday, drive home Monday. I'm driving a 76 Landcruiser, my buddy is driving an 82 Hilux. It's going to be a long day driving old junk. 😆

Thank you.

I am unsure if I could light the fuse and throw if a bear was charging me.. 😀, but I bet the sound would be enough to make them run in the other direction. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for subscribing and I do appreciate your comments.

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your feedback. My intention was to follow safety rules when exercising my Second Amendment rights. I tried not to make this a political video.

That would be a "redundancy" you are referring to. An oxymoron is when someone thinks about exercising their second ammendment right in order to "tell the government what they are allowed to do" but also knows how effective Apache helicopters are.

I watched the video you mentioned. A great example of the best way to avoid a problem is to take yourself out of a situation before it becomes one. I applaud Matty on his de-escalation.

Thanks for your comments. Totally agree on all of your points. Being safe is easymir if you are prepared.

South Dakota is amazing. There are many of these structures

I love to hear that. Open spot anytime you want to join me. Going on a trip in April back country trail to Devis Tower

@@mtnmnchronicles I wish! That will be a great trip. I have lots of projects I want to get done on the trailer and I need to break it in before any far trips from home. Also need to buy some of the things you mentioned in the video. I have most of the things due to me already having a prepared mindset. It’s the recovery gear I need to work on. Medical, comms, safety is all stuff I already have. Glad you mentioned TQs. I carry 4 in my vehicle. And usually 1 on me depending on where I go. They are very important. It’s smart to have a TQ that will fit smaller limbs for kids and dogs. You never know when you will be a first responder to an accident and with how laissez fair everyone is these days you may come across the totally unprepared especially hiking, camping, etc.

Thanks. Glad you found value. I have plenty of trips planned. There will be others you can join, depending on your location. You will have to send me picture of your progress. Send me a dm, we can chat further.

Congratulations. I love the MO trailer. Half of the fun is being able to make it my own. I appreciate your comments. I am positive you will enjoy the adventure.

The lights are a game changer. I just could not bring myself to dropping the pan. I am looking forward to seeing what you have done with the with the triangle strap points.

Thanks for yoru thoughts. Happy to take pictures. It does have both an amplifier and an emitter inside the Jeep.

No velcro it was not needed. I have the bed rail. I drilled the snaps into that. I did not want to drill into my bed.

Agree.

Happy to help. I will try tomorrow night. I believe it would. The cases have some room.

Yes they will. We have our flatware (spoons, forks, and knifes) they are in a large plastic case in the Santoku case. We keep the destination kit all together. They fit in the back of the Santoku kit case. handle down. And it zips up

Thank you. I will watch it and subscribe. I loved that area and plan to explore it more

@mtnmnchronicles1573 Awesome! next time you all head out let me know if you need an extra party for the journeys. I'm from North Dakota!

That is awesome. We go out all the time. I belong to the Bigsky Dakota Facebook group. I would love to chat more

@@freeordieexperience And FYI. We are planning a longer adventure in that area in March. facebook.com/events/378065761537681/?ref=newsfeed

@mtnmnchronicles1573 awesome I just checked it out! I will try to attend!

Front Runner Boxes. I upgraded to the following after this trip because the new ones are waterproof. Also, you can order different tops. The top boxes now have a larger top so more room. Here is a link.www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/rack-accessories/camp-1793/storage/wolf-pack-pro.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAqY6tBhAtEiwAHeRopR5vPT5rGHqHyLTbwvwHRq0ySNv5RAc1mNA3lYtFZICeeHqdjBSuIxoCVZsQAvD_BwE

@@mtnmnchronicles awesome thanks so much! I should be getting a Summit within a few months. I’m pumped.

@@crispusattucks6094 If you have any questions or would like to chat let me know. I am happy to answer questions. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing mine and have to say I made the right decision. I did add on solar and several other things that I believe are all great enhancements. So far the trailer has done everything I have asked. Love it.

@@mtnmnchronicles wow you’re awesome. I have done a lot of research too. I looked at half a dozen off-road campers in depth and I think this is the best option. Did yours come with the factory inverter? If so, what is the wattage? Have you had any issues with the on board battery controller picking up lithium? That will be my first upgrade

@@crispusattucks6094 Yes, a Renogy 2000-watt inverter. It works well. The factory battery controller is a pain with Lithium batteries. For AGM Batteries, it works well. It is an automatic system but seldom switches to Lithium. My first project was to add 200 amp hours of lithium and Renogy 50 DC to a DC converter, which also controls Solar. I added 2 100 watt panels on the roof. With that, I only use a factory battery controller at home for short periods. Adding this system is the best thing I have ever done.

Thanks
