Thanks to whoever went out and helped!

No that is where both sets took me. Just someone wanting to come from , say Portland thinking it might be a short trip, while someone from say Winnemucca might think, oh it's in Oregon....

So he's actually in Northern Nevada near Onion Valley. Closest town is Denio.

Go to the Philippines, they are everywhere!

If I'm in a hurry I use my cordless drill on my hand grinder......reality is my hand grinder from GSI only takes about a min to grind up a strong cuppa. The cordless doesn't take much time off, it is easier though.

Highly recommend checking out Geologist Nick Zentner youtube videos about the area; He has 'bout half a dozen on the OP.

Looks like many favorite trails are closed by the Alerts & Conditions - Death Valley National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

I just want to pass on a tested way to rid one of horse flies. I learned this in the 70's and 80's when going camping in Northern Nevada's Black Rock Desert. There the horse flies would routinely stealth land and bite on exposed human flesh when camped at Fly Geyser or Soldier Meadows, well any...

Close to Ridgecrest. When I go to DV I drive the first day( 7 hrs-390 miles) from home and camp at Trona Pinnacles. Roughly 350 mi from Sonora. I fuel up and buy water in Ridgecrest, the Fastrip station used have the best fuel prices, corner of 395 and W Wilson. Then to Wally World on 395 for...

Rally start is Indonesia? I'm going to need a bigger snorkel......

Great reference, thanks Lizabeth,...maybe this year...... I went to the link. I struggle with all the right and wrong stuff on my resources and found the info on cramming to be very helpful!

Just curious, is there a height restriction for the rear or side mounting, like is a mount 5' up legal?

Amanda, Been thinking of you and what kind of things you might have fail on the trail. These things are reported fairly often on videos and forums. Springs or shocks, U joints, fuel pumps/filter, wheel bearings, starter. Electrical gremlins as in loose or broken wires. Much bigger and...

Hi Amanda, Do you need 1" sockets? It's nice to have that stuff when you need them. I have my first 1/2" drive socket set, but I mostly use my 3/8" drive. For me so much is unknown about your desire to learn and take on what level of repairs and the tool needs of your truck. Yesterday I watched...

Amanda, So glad it started up with no issues! I don't think ethanol is bad per say, just that with some older rubber components it would eat them up. Your GMC is probably new enough not to worry especially after sitting for so long and then running. Good to go! :^)

Hopefully no mice and just needs a jump start and maybe fresh fuel. Does Canada use ethanol in the fuel? It can eat away at seals and such. Wishing for the best!

Amanda, Lots depends on how deep into repairs you want to go. Simple oil changes won't need much but a head gasket will. When I got into cars they didn't make the blow molded cases, hence the proliferation of tool rolls. I like the 159 piece set...

Craftsman tools, cordless drill, I like my Ryobi as it has a 1/2" bit capacity. Just a time saver with the right nut drivers or socket set.

I agree with John and Mandi, Giving options is a good thing. My MWC faucet is (IMHO) a cool DIY project. It may give a newbie an idea for their buildout that was hidden by all the electric buzz. Whether or not one goes with power if they do the project they will know how to fix it when it breaks...
