Got mine yesterday. This mag is awesome! Henry emailed me about this a week ago and a couple of us Lone-Star Cruisers each got a subscription. It is nice to see a really great quality magazine, physically speaking.
One thing I would like to suggest when doing product reviews is to take into account cost. The RTT comparison is really well-done, but cost is not a factor. Consumer Reports does good testing and they have the best product, and then the best product based on cost. Perhaps you could incorporate this into future product reviews.
I realize that when you are doing this type of travel, you need the best gear available. Perhaps this is why cost was not mentioned. I think most folks base a buying decision based on cost though. An example is the RTT from car-top-tent that sold like hotcakes last fall from Mel. Not the best RTT out there, but the pricepoint was unbeatable.
Also, I really like the in-depth stories you present. After Graham's story thru Africa, he outlined specifics on the Rover as well as some good info on how one would need to proceed if they were to undertake a similar expedition.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
