This was only my third overnighter (all within the last month & all in the desert) with my new BOB and my newly converted old Mtb. Initially, I had skinnies on the bike and pulling the BOB unweighed the front end which made for a less than solid handling. Switching to fat tires made all the difference in the world for my particular situation....the bike tracks well and not squirrley at all. Even uprighting the bike from its parked (jack-knifed) position is alot easier. So far, I am happy with the BOB. It hauls a ton of stuff....it's easy to take more stuff than you actually need. For the necessities, I wear a medium sized fanny pack which carries my digi-cam, compact binoculars, cash, etc...... Opening the trailer sack is a bit of a hassle for frequent retrieval of small items. Here's a shot from this week's over-nighter out in the desert.
