Hi Anne, Any relation to Mary Duffield who used to teach in Santa Cruz? I think my best advice to a newbie would be; learn how to use a map and compass and do not rely on electronics. As far as the whole bigger tires, lockers, rocksliders debate, leave them to the rock crawling crowd. One...

"Here, hold my beer!"

Hwy 1 closed on the southern end yesterday due to a sinkhole. The only free camping used to be Prewitt Ridge. I haven't been there since the fire a year or so ago. There are some spots on Plaskett ridge also. I just checked Nacimiento-Fergusson Road is still closed; Los Padres National...

I used to go into a nearby field and hunker down with my scope in the dark. Then my new interest in trail cams started to show nighttime visitors. Pic #3 is a bobcat to give a size relation to pic#4.

YIKES!!!

I can't answer your tow vehicle question. I can address the need for a winch though. I go to the desert and have been stuck. I've used a winch to pull myself out by both off a vehicle and my spare wheel buried in the ground with a stout steel bar behind it and the winchline going through the...

Years ago I bought a Sears Platinum AGM Marine battery(2012). It was around $250 then, exorbitant I thought at the time. 11 years later and it's still going strong. Mind you it is my only battery and doesn't run aux equipment. Though when I get around to putting in a dual system I'll try to go...

Sparksalot, more German than phrench, only assembled there. LRtime have a nice look at one;

OK, the Carrizo Plain can entertain for that time and has remote camping, check it out on GoooooooooogleEarth. Though it is South not North. As I said before Mendocino NF will get you off road, if you have never been there, Humbug Valley and up to Lava Beds NM via Mt Lassen or the Black Rock...

Hi Forrest, Welcome. As Advtres asks, where to? NE Calif is less populated, Mendocino NF probably the largest block of land. Are you in 4x4 or ? How long a trip? Nevada is nice to explore. Check out Advtres youtube videos for ideas. Or check out my blog...

Good progress! i just did a blog on how LR tie rod ends are made; Land Rover tie rod end, How is it made?

Kyle, isn't that vehicle all metric? I don't know anything about Discos.

1st thing I did with all my Land Rovers was stick a winch on them. It wasn't an option on the poll so I chose the next upgrade, tyres. They have come a long way since the Norseman Tru-Trac 10ply's I first ran! HOWLLLLLLLLL! But man they went places!

Check the front ujoints for the vibration noise. Otherwise, good on ya!

That's a Snow plant/Snowflower, only grows in California and Oregon; Sarcodes - Wikipedia

Noraly seems to have good use out of insta360 on her handlebars, cheap is a relative term though. https://www.itchyboots.com/blog/gear-and-equipment-season-7

I wonder if that is why I can't get rims from OKoffroad for my Land Rover anymore. I need 2 more......

I had all my Christmas decorations in 1 of the largest Action Packers, when I got single and the kids left I gave it all to my daughter when she got married. I like using either the 1500 or 1600 Pelican cases, they don't always fit some things like the Dutch oven and my 10° sleeping bag, so for...

Those Eylar cases look nice and a good price, I'd not heard of them before. For decades I've been using Rubbermaid Action Packers for my kitchen, food and firewood. I keep them inside the Rover so dust and rain aren't an issue. Rain/dust is not an issue if they are outside at camp. For other...
