Once you turn off of hwy 19, most of the roads here could be classified as a moderate 6 to difficult.
Not sure about the trails in this area, but I would try south of hwy 40. The areas here above 40 to tennessee are still in search and recovery mode.
Update on the situ here in WNC;
Used the rig to pull 9 vehicles 1 mile through a destroyed road. I'd give it a rating of 8. These were minivans, sprinters and the like. A church group from Raleigh were stuck at a Christian retreat with no power, water, little food. 2 women are very pregnant -...
Agreed. Until the fuel station can't pump due to lack of power. Happening here, now. No power for 8 counties.
We're on high ground, so no problem. I was happy with that until I was helping a neighbor in the next holler over dig his Tractor out after the hillside slid away taking 2 very large...
I never thought of overlanding as preparation for a natural disaster, like what we are experiencing here in western NC.

We will be without power until "hopefully " mid October.

Always looking for rallys in the SE. I'll watch for any you might start!
We do a good bit in NC, TN, KY areas. The outer banks is a favorite to get some surf fishing in (heading there very soon). My favorite area is Cumberland Gap /Daniel Boone NF in KY for amazing trails.
We just completed...
More recently, I had a trans "built" specifically for offroad abuse. I installed it, and a new Derale fan cooled trans cooler. Ran braided stainless lines and all.
Put the AN-8 adapters in the trans and cracked the housing. Learned about tapered fittings that day.
Ruined a $3500 trans. Had to...
Pre trip i always do about a week or so out, in case i need parts. The mid trip inspection is something I do every morning before hitting the trails. Found a CV going away just before leaving camp (2 weeks ago in Uhwarri) to hit some difficult rated trails. Would have been bad.
