Thanks for the response Prerunner., much appreciated.

I recently received an email indicating my GMRS license needs to be renewed by November of 2021. It was originally issued in 2016 for a five year term but I understand licenses granted in 2017 and more recently are for ten years. Do I need to renew now? If so, what is the cost? Trying to use...

The pit came with a circular piece of Styrofoam molded to keep the logs in place but it works equally well on the fire beads as long as the top cover doesn't become detached. Mine has a circular grill that fits over the Styrofoam which helps to hold things in place. Agree with you that it...

Good suggestion. With the fire bans, the restrictions on transporting firewood (agree with these), the cost and, finally, the quality of local kiln dried approved firewood, I think this is a good addition to one's kit. It seemed kinda gimmicky at first but I've found it's added more...

I carry (and consider myself reasonably competent with) a hi-lift jack and have several sizes of hydraulic bottle and floor jacks around the shop but the most used is a little four ton that weighs only 6-7 lbs and has a range of maybe 8-15 inches. I actually seldom use any sort of jack for...

Those look really nice as does the truck. I agree with everything you’ve said about White Knuckle’s products and their staff. I have a ZR2 gasser with the Bison package to which AEV adds a cross member brace to protect the exhaust crossover pipe. This caused a conflict with the forward slider...

My wife does join me; probably wouldn't be doing this otherwise. I'm on the north side of seventy so age and physical abilities certainly played a part in our decisions. It sounds like your style is / will be similar to ours - boondocking and dry camping on remote public lands that don't...

Thanks for the suggestion and it’s always good to hear from someone with hands on experience. I’ve got a 19 ZR2 double cab gasser and have been considering this upgrade but have heard of possible issues due to different charging profiles between the diesel and the V6. From what I’ve been able...

Sorry about the bad link in my first reply - try Lee's Ferry campground

If you're coming in through Page, Lee's Ferry campground is about two hours from the North Rim and a good option for a break - flush johns and fresh water but no showers. Campground is located near the put in for all the river rafters and has a lot of Mormon history. Its fairly common to see...

You might want to get on the mailing list for Gazelle at Ardisam . I received an email from them yesterday indicating ten in stock @ $579 but checked this morning and they're gone. I purchased one of Gazelle's G6 deluxe gazebos from them a week or so back. Great pricing (10% discount for...

Many times in my younger days, but seem to be getting a little wiser as the years pass. I've been eyeing the Valhalla panels for some time and this might push me over the edge - thanks for posting. Also would appreciate any info on the source for that vent mounted mic clip. Al

Nah, we poked around southern UT for over a month and Bryce rock is top shelf stuff compared to what you might find in the other areas. Mine even has a little Trilobite on one side. Better to find it outside the Park though - you know how picky them pesky rangers can get sometimes. The second...

I found a piece of shale about an inch thick and roughly the same dimensions as the oven while camping outside Bryce Canyon NP several years back and its worked well.

Thanks for the response. I have both my and my wife's old folks passes registered on the rec dot gov website but still have to manually enter one or the other each time I make a reservation. Seems kinda dumb that these are associated with my profile but not have one or the other automatically...

Using Recreation.gov, I took the reservation process for one night at the White Crack campground through to the payment screen and saw no where to enter any Pass info (I have the Senior Pass which normally gets us in free and half price on camping on any federal public lands). Total on the...

^^^ Fully agree that Hwy 12 is not to be missed but, if the OP's SO wants to see the Grand Canyon, it would probably be a good idea to include it :grinning:. Seeing the Canyon from Kaibab NF would satisfy that requirement, provide awesome dispersed camping and, depending on route, maybe a bit...

We're from NC as well (Rocky Mount area) and have made this trip a few times. My wife's brother lives in Baton Rouge so we usually take I-40 out and I-10 back in order to spend a day or two with him. You didn't say how much time you have so I'll just throw some things out with no particular...

When camping, we really enjoy making desert in a Dutch oven and have found it to be a great way to meet our neighbors. Our “go to” is a peach cobbler. Line the oven with parchment paper. Pour in three twenty one ounce cans of Lucky Leaf peach pie filling. Cover peaches with one box of Betty...

Not sure why anyone would drive across a meadow and especially that close to a body of water but good on ya for helping them out. Stuff can happen anywhere. This past weekend, we were camped in Pisgah NF with the grand kid and took a ride up the Blue Ridge Parkway to check out the falls in...
