Excellent advice. My decades of backpacking helped me fine tune what I now carry for overlanding. KISS.

A good start would be getting a Bakersfield are OB group going again.

I agree with the first part. Max regeneration works regardless of speed and time. I have a gauge in my 4xe that shows the flow of power and it kicks in with deceleration or downhill no matter how short a period. I had an interesting experience on the Mojave Road. East to West from Cima Rd is a...

I will be attending and traveling from Mt. Shasta early Thursday morning. Love to hook up with the OB contingent.

Just watching all the videos. Incredible destruction. Sad.

And in the freezer section of my Snomaster are the whiskey rocks!

A trip to Taylor Meadows on the Kern Plateau this weekend to escape 105°!

I have done much backpacking in this area and done the Monache Jeep Road. Monache Meadows to Jordan Hot Springs is a pretty ambitious hike through Casa Viejo Meadow and along Nine Mile Creek. I have never seen Nine Mile Creek dry this time of year, but if it was, I would discourage you from...

Many layers are like that, but try the Gaia Overland layer. Once active. Click on the general rectangle of the map in the layers list and a detailed legend appears. This can be opened in a new window to show all the detail.

VIP area. I want to do the classes too.

This is a spectacular layer. Can't wait to try it out on the trail.

There are other things to consider about such a long transport (10+ hours), immobilized, and without access to emergency medical care. Depending on mom's age, she is at higher risk for a DVT after leg fracture, not to mention the potential of a fat embolism. These are very hard to deal with over...

Starting my trip Wednesday and plan to overnight at Mt. Shasta. Will arrive Thursday and be camping over the weekend. If you're coming from California, come camp with me. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/stop-over-at-mt-shasta-for-dispersed-camping-on-way-to-pnw-overland-expo.43466/

Love the shelf. What is the brand?

GaiaGPS is a complex application, and I suspect that much of my trouble initially using it had to do with user error, and not bugs in the system. I really like the vast amount of layers available. One mistake that I made is that I thought that the CarPlay integration was not good, until I...

I will be traveling from Bakersfield and plan to overnight at this point. View Rally Point

I will be there Thursday - Sunday. Really looking forward to it! If anyone is coming from So Cal that Wednesday morning maybe we can caravan. I Plan to disperse camp Wednesday night (already have a site scoped out) at Mt. Shasta and complete the trip Thursday morning to check into camping on...

After reading this article in the "Art of Manliness," many of his points don't make sense. 1. Paper maps never lose power or wireless signal. The author must be a Luddite who appears to have no idea how GPS and modern mapping software work on portable devices. By downloading appropriate maps...

Sorry for the confusion. I posted the wrong set of instructions on how to do this. Here is the instructions for iOS. I have used this all over the US and Europe and was able to download maps and data for entire geographic areas for use in navigating completely offline. At least for Apple...

Google maps also have the ability to download data for a defined area and will work just fine offline. https://support.google.com/maps/answer/9770624?hl=en
