Delorme GPS and SPOT Get Hitched in Vegas
Shannon Bushman – XXOffroad.com
On my recent trip on the Borneo Equator Expedition I took my SPOT device and many of you tracked me live on the SPOT adventure page. I sent regular “I’m ok” messages to my family and a few friends. I also recorded the trip on my GPS. Both of these were valuable [...]
Shannon’s Stories: A Blessing in Borneo
Shannon Bushman – XXXoffroad
We had been pushing hard to exit a particularly nasty section of jungle in the middle of Borneo and my RZR was on fumes. Having run two five gallon cans and the on-board tank dry a fuel stop was looking mighty interesting. As we hit a paved road our lead guide informed [...]

Just Got an Email from Shannon… “I’m Out”
Just got out, stole a computer for a few minutes.
Its nice not to be covered in mud for a change.
Sorry the satellite thing didn’t work out. Way too much rain and mud
and non-computer friendly conditions.
The trip was incredible and I have tons more photos and video to post up.

Can hardly wait to hear all the stories!! [...]
Shannon Should Be Exiting the Jungle Soon
What a title that is… Have you ever wanted your name attached to that statement? Well, this whole adventure is right up Shannon alley and he should be coming back out within the next day or two.
He had some difficulty with getting us stories due to the down poor of rain, and the lack of [...]

12-06 to 12-12 09 – Borneo Equatorial Expedition – Another in the Borneo Series
After spending two days in Jakarta and hanging in Pontinalak watching everyone else prep for the trip I was informed the ferry would arrive at 11am.
At 6pm it arrived and we retrieved it in the rain. Pontinak is a fair sized city and scurrying through the streets in a Polaris RZR S with no windshield [...]
Dec 04 2009 – Pontiak Kalamantan Indonesia Part 2 – Another in the Borneo Series
This evening we had a short informal briefing about the route across Borneo. Surprise, it’s closer to 2000 Km than the 1500Km we had been told for months.
The Indonesian Offroad Federation sent a three vehicle recon team into the jungle to scout the route. After 38 days they emerged with the news that the route [...]
Warn Winch Dual Battery Switching System – Another in the Borneo Series
One of the requirements of the Borneo Expedition 09 is a dual battery setup. Its a not just nice to have, without it we won’t pass scrutineering and get to stay home, or rather in Pontianak while everyone else goes on the Expedition.
Generally we hear guys wanting a second battery for little more than longer [...]
