Well I just passed my technician test Monday night, so not sure I’m ready for General yet, but thanks for the great info on HF. I’m learning a lot, especially from posts like this.

Have you chosen a time of year to do it? The NPS just announced that the soda Lake portion has reopened. I’ve only done a few sections myself but the Lava Tube is great and don’t miss the Mojave Road mailbox, which isn’t far from the tube. I’ll let others chime in on recommended length of...

I’ll be there with a side dish/salad/dessert.

Sorry to be missing this, Kent. It’ll be my wife’s birthday and we already had something set up.

I just bought the Massimo CX-50 from Costco a month or so ago. It was on sale for $320 with tax, shipped to my door. Looks like the sale isn’t going at the moment. So far, it’s been great. My Jackery 500 powered it for 45 hours at 35 degrees. I’ll be heading out to Death Valley next week so I’ll...

DM sent. Thanks Kent!

Thanks for the update, Kent. Hopefully it works out for February. And hopefully I get a spot this time. :grinning:

I could get settled in there for a few days.

Looks good so far, I have a second gen Tacoma as well and have been considering something like this.

Winter camping is great; I honestly prefer it to summer. No bugs, no crowds, and I actually enjoy the challenge of keeping warm, which probably sounds weird. I use a folding cot inside my tent with an insulated, self-inflating sleeping pad. I also have two Wiggy‘s bags that work really well in...

I specifically bought the T3 because, based on the measurements, I thought the T4 wouldn’t fit in my Taco’s 5 ft. bed with a cap. I never considered loading it diagonally (Duh!) until my brother went on a trip with me and brought his T4. Sure enough, it fit just fine diagonally. Now I think I’ll...

Great collection! I’m gonna have to track down that Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying patch.

Camped at the Chemung Mine outside of Bridgeport, CA. Saw the Milky Way with my own eyes for the first time. Pretty spectacular.

Hi Kent, please add me to the waitlist as well. Thank you.

I’d definitely check out Wiggy’s bags. I have two, a 20 degree and a 40 degree. Both are plenty warm and are made in Colorado. Buying American made is always I plus in my book. (Non-Americans aren’t as concerned with that of course) Even if you don’t go with one of their bags, watch some of the...

I’ve found most of mine on Etsy or Tactical Outfitters.

If you feel like beach camping there’s always Usal. Go midweek and crowds shouldn’t be an issue. You can also try the iOverlander app for a map of dispersed, primitive, or established campgrounds.

Great pics! A group of OB members went the following weekend and experienced some of the same behaviors unfortunately. It was the first time there for most of us and not sure if we’d ever go back on a weekend. Lots of mortars getting set off on Saturday night. The biggest issue we had was people...

Just got my new Explore More OB patch! Looks great, Corrie! Keep them coming!

That’s a great area. I camped at Leslie Gulch two years ago. I really want to go back and explore more and see the lava flow near Cow Lakes.
