I guess one thing I would consider is how remote will you be on your trip. If you will be in and around civilizations then I would carry just the minimum so you would have enough to limp into town if you needed to.
I've only been to that area once and it looks like there are some areas you...
Oh man, I am traveling back home that day.
I would have loved to help out. I have a little 4 X 8 off-roadie-type utility trailer if that helps. Don't mind loaning it to the cause.
In the Southwestern Deserts they say that diatomaceous earth helps keep the scorpions away. This is something you get a pool supply place. Same ideas the spices that you sprinkle it around your tent for area you want to keep them out of. The theory is that the dad's Nation Earth dries their...
I found myself in a similar position burying the pandemic. I got T-boned hard enough to roll me over. I fortunately want to wait fine but the rig I spent 14 years developing and perfecting was totaled. Being a 14-year-old vehicle insurance company was less than generous about what it was...
Everyone planning on traveling in for Expo West this year be aware that there has already been significant fire activity in the area and that many of the National Forst in Arizona are already enacting fire restrictions.
Rember when you are looking at potential campsites to try to pick places...
Are you guys going to operate under one call sign?
I won't be able to make it there but I am hoping to set up on a mountain top somewhere in AZ. It may depend on where the fires are and what restrictions are in place.
I'll try to reach you guys on HF. During the day I can usually reach...
I use to get those questions about the recovery gear I carry. Saw? Rope? Tackle? Then we did that solo trip across Gold Stone Pass.... Never got the question again.
If I go out by myself I sleep on the ground under the stars or in a hammock.
When I go out for an overnight I am down on the spring of the rig with the "bare essentials"
Lots of experience and info so far. I drove an Xterr OFF ROAD for 14 years and it took me a lot of places I probably shouldn't have gone and always got me home.
I did a little lift in the front with a spacer that gave me a out 1.8" lift in the front and an Add-a-Leaf in the back that gave me...
I'll be curious to see what they say.
I run a amateur radio in my rig in the States. I have a UHF/VHF and HF antennas on my mobile rig. They run independently into the same radio which is an all band all mode radio.
I have run two UHF/VHF antennas when I have a second radio set up to do...
I use both.
I started out with an HT and recommend that to any new ham. They are usually straightforward and hard to get into too much trouble with. When I first got my license I started with an HT. It didn't take long for me to start using it while out and about in the Southwestern...
In Maryland. Flew here so stuck at the mother-in-law's with no ride to go exploring. Sad but for the family. Will be happy to get back to the dessert in a few days.
I have found the same kind of issues finding such parts for my H3 Hummer. It is not a mainstream vehicle that you can drive off a lot so there is not as much marked to the more unique vehicles.
If you are into the DIY option a ladder is pretty straightforward. This is a good video that might...
If you contact them they are pretty helpful. Were more than willing to build up a rack for my Hummer H3. I ended up doing my own thing because of I could build it in a couple of weekends where they had a 4 to 8 week turn around and we had a summer vacation that we could not wait on.
