Great place to go! I first went up in the summer of 77. Been there many times after, not so much since Burning man ruined the desert. They bought up a lot of the Free places to go , Fly Geyser and Cottonwood Canyon and put up keep out signs. Taught my kids how to drive on the playa. Not sure I...

15 weeks! That's some maintenance. Not like cleaning the drains.

I installed a marine push/pull spout onto a MWC can. No battery failure issues. https://poppageno.blogspot.com/2014/04/military-water-carrier-mwc-faucet.html

Looks Great! When I made mine I put an arc on the bottom to locate the tank and keep it from vibrating off.

Unfortunately the bears (and that weird guy you went to high school with) are thinking;

Like Ronald Howard said ^, I use the chainmail cleaning pads found on Amazon. Sooooo much better than steel wool! It doesn't take off the seasoning just the stuck food bits. I try to not use dishes, by myself I eat out of the cook wear. If I have a fellow camper paper plates or bowls. I use Dawn...

Having done it some 45 years ago, Stop early, stop often.

I made my mount so I can fold it down and use the boards as a table on the side of my Rover. https://poppageno.blogspot.com/2021/08/land-rover-recovery-boards-mounttable.html

I keep a bear barrel with 3 days of food in case a bear gets my daily food. Usually I camp in the desert and the rodents are a bigger problem. When bikepacking I used a bear hang, didn't cook near where we slept or hung the food. Remember things like lip balm, deodorant smell mighty tasty to...

I was camping in Nevada and stopped at a spring the pioneers used crossing the Nation. Left the door open as I took a few min to look around. Then continued to my next destination and set up camp being sure to keep the doors shut. Got up the next morning to find the bag of trail mix on the front...

yeah, but by then you were at 6-7000 feet. Drive 2.5 hrs west and camp. Bottom line; Summer camping is doable, IF, you can cool down either naturally or artificially.

I had an 88" Land Rover, when I bought it it had Firestone Destination AT's on it. It really looks like a street tyre(5.5" x 16 rims). While I owned the Rover I took it through mud in the Coastal Mtns and a couple trips to the Nevada Desert and Death Valley. Never had an issue with flats or...

I went and camped at Afton, 13 Feb, 2020, no bugs! Wind but no bugs. Your bites sound like what horse flies do to me. I've been bit a few times up in the Black Rock Desert, Those things as huge as they are can land and you don't know it until they bite ya. I found either a tennis racket for...

I always tell folks to go to Meteor Crater if they can, it will impress the hell out of 10-8yo! Speaking of them what are they interested in? Do they know anything about Mountain Men or Pioneers, geology of the West? I would then plan my trip around seeing that kind of stuff. Plenty of it out...
