Sorry, Oregon.

Backstory: Every year a group of guys I went to high school with and myself go on an annual camping trip. We've done backpacking, canoe camping, overlanding ect. On of the guys is having some health issues (we're all in our 50's) so this year we need to reign it in and commit to just a simple...

To the cool guy in the Tacoma who was smart enough to bring a bag of misc nuts and bolts, and cool enough to let me have one when my Gobi Rack vibrated a pivot nut loose in Death Valley.... Huge Thanks and I hope the Pliney went down smooth. -Mark

CCW in my county is a no go. The Sheriff will not only deny you, but if by some miracle you manage to convince him you're worthy... he'll release your name and address to the news paper.

Thanks for the insight into the park.

I have a JKU and am pretty happy with my rig. I'd like bigger tires, but that would hinder my everyday ability. I put on a caged roof rack so I can actually carry enough supplies for the family for a few days, but that has decreased my gas milage and highway speeds. I compromised daily comfort...

This breaks my heart. I go camping with my two girls all the time. Not being able to enjoy nature with them isn't an option. CA gun laws are so ridiculous that trying to prepare myself would make me a felon.

Well, Moab is mind blowing. Our trip was cut short because of work so I only got one day to play. We did Hurrah Pass and were going to do Chicken Corners but everyone was exhausted from the travel an heat. Decided to call it a day and not push it.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

We'll be visiting family in Colorado and have decided to spend a few days in Moab. What do I need to know and what trails should I stick to so my poor wife doesn't have a heart attack on me. I'm in a capable Jeep but her cousins might join us in a stock 4 Runner. Just looking for some easy low...

Yikes.

I just got back a Mojave Road adventure. You;ll have a blast. I was concerned about the water crossing as well. I extended all my breathers but had no snorkel. I made it and it went fine but a buddy took a video and things came a little closer than I realized. I have a Jeep with a 2inch lift and...

I live in CA and, to the best of my knowledge, you can travel with firearms as long as they are properly locked away when driving (unless you have a conceal permit). Once you're at the campsite, that is considered your domicile and you can have a loaded gun in your tent. That's what I was told...

I use a Mr. Buddy (larger one) but only to get things toasty for bet time and in the morning.
