What does Smoky the Bear think of it. Have you talked to any forestry managers about it. We spend most of the camping season in Arizona in Fire Restrictions. As dry as it has been this winter I would not be surprised if they shut us out of the public lands all together this summer. If this is a...

Totally agree. Not that the apple OS is any better than Android. (Android [emoji12] [emoji106] ) But yes, a good strategy to go with what you know. The reality is they both do the same thing of overlaying GPS info over nice looking maps. Same can be said for the. Traction boards. They all...

I use an old LG tablet I got when my wife upgraded her's. It has been great as a dedicated device. Only keep NAV stuff and a couple of hours of music on it. I run with Backcountry Navigator and back it up or upload relevant maps between trips. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

I use my tablet these days for all of my navigation. I've been using Backcontry Navigator. I was a die-hard Garmin guy but find I really like the simplicity of the GPS overlay on a traditional Topo Map. Backcontry Navigator is very reasonable price and no subscription needed. I'd go for the...

Love to see some pictures of that Sent from my "Smart Phone"

Fun dilemma. One thing you might want to look into is how we do truck camper winter there. I know winters in Bozeman we're always hard on my grandparents campers when I was a kid. That was a long time ago and materials are a lot better these days. Sent from my "Smart Phone"

Gosh guys. Reading all that really makes me appreciate the open lands out West. Hope they can stay that way. Sent from my "Smart Phone"

Welcome to the community. I am sure your post will open up some passionate discussion. But as the founding fathers of this community says. "It's not what you drive...". Sounds like the Jeep may not be suited to long haul in it's current configuration. Are thinking of making changes to it's...

We are going out on Saturday. Going to play in the desert and then cook up some lunch some place along the way. If we do 4Peaks or Montana mountain that put us up on the mountain top in the afternoon. By 18:00 we should be on our way home. I run with ham sticks that I can put up when I want to...

Was it this weekend or last weekend you could set up a time to do so HF contacts? I am going to do a little day trip and could make it to so high ground by early afternoon. We could set a time or two to try for. I can do 20 and 40 with out to much effort. Sent from my "Smart Phone"

We don't do daylight savings in AZ because who wants another hour of sun when it is 120°. I wish the rest of the country didn't do it because it is always a headache keeping track of everyone else's time. We always have crew late that Sunday in the fall because there "smart phone" will change on...

I think this time of year we are only 2 hour behind. Same as Denver. AZ does not do Day Light Savings Time. We are always UTC -7. My meeting is at 6PM AZ time. So realistically I am tied up from 5 to around 10. Sent from my "Smart Phone"

I'd be up for that but I have a meeting this coming Saturday. So timing would be important for me. Maybe start a new thread and put a link here. Pick a date a week or two out (Saturdays are good for me) and give a few folks a chance to see it. Or maybe even something to put up on the event...

Maybe structure a net so those who have HF capability can collect VHF/UHF check ins and relay them. Would be good practice on relaying traffic. If we going to make it a resource for those on an expedition once a week would be a minimum. Kind of like a Maritime net. That could be a much bigger...

I find it is not as good as my bed at home but out in the world I love it. I can never really get comfortable sleeping on the ground. Closes I come when camping is if I use an over sized inflatable air mattress which often sags at the end of the night. It can take a couple of tries to dial in...

Have for years. Before it was really a thing I started swing in hammocks when on rafting trips. Had had one of the original designs of the North American Clark Hammock. I have since moved to a more modular system which is a lot more versatile and comfortable. I am a big guy and air mattress...

Sure seams like there could be an HF net once a month or so? Would be a good excuse to go out and do some "Mountain Topping". Sent from my "Smart Phone"

Great wright up. Got me thinking about refining my rig this year. Sent from my "Smart Phone"
