That would be a very tough thing to do, as the Elephant Hill Trail is a gateway to millions of acres of BLM and National Forest lands to the south of Canyonlands NP, if you have the fuel capacity and time, it is a very interesting route over to the Maze District. Unfortunately, your phase...

The back up/back down, depending on which direction you are going is a less than 100 yards. It is a very straight and wide easy back up exercise. Anything over 21 feet is prohibited. Before I go, I always check with a Ranger and let them know that I am at 22 feet, and how I plan on...

Sorry for the name calling, you are correct. I got a bit excited as I typed. How about, " a person engaged in moronic behaviour" or a "person engaged in the act of douche baggery?" Sorry, but if you can't laugh, all is lost..

Thank you. I was hoping folks would do a bit of research to see just where the trail is, and the significance of it. My wife and I have camped at Devils Kitchen 3 times, and Horsehoof twice, then went out the bottom through Bobbies Hole, etc etc. There are well funded groups that want to see...

It is difficult to actually "see it" in the video, but he did take a short cut, up and over an area that we shouldn't be going up and over.. The Salt Creek Trail in the Needles District has been permanently closed due to behavior such as this. Fortunately, back in 2010 we did get to travel a...

I stumbled upon this vid many years ago while planning our first trip out to The Needles District. There are a couple of things very wrong here. Not the least of which is the fact that there are big signs at each end of this switchback that clearly state,,, PULL IN BACK DOWN on one end, and on...

Base camp =s OZ Jet tent 25x.. bullet proof.. We have a two man Flash 2 FL for one nighters or backpacking. I'm not completely sold on the RTTs for North American use. They are gaining in popularity quite fast. It will be interesting to see who the last couple of companies standing will be...

Absolutely !! there are many good tutorials on the tube that give a good starting point for f stop and time. After that, on your own as far as what you can capture... It's come so far since film camera... I just got my new stuff yesterday and here are a couple of images with the a65 and the...

It is parked at the Mariscal mercury mine in Big Bend National Park.

I've had front lockers on two vehicles for over 12 years. The lockers were stock in the rubi, ( which we sold 3 years ago ) and stock on our 80 series Landcruiser. We have wheeled in the backcountry all over the US and parts of eastern Canada. We've also wheeled in a few pay for play parks on...

So, did this happen? Tysons Corner? Is there a camp there? I don't think so. Yikes.. Sorry, I cannot bring myself to driving into cities, (I did that for a living for 25 years) let alone NYC, Phil, Balto or DC. A meet and greet out in the GWNF would be a lot more likely for, I would think...

Actually it would take up half the space of H2O ice, as it is twice as dense. The major conundrum is keeping things from becoming frozen.

I really like our 75 and that keeps me from buying a full sized ARB fridge freezer. I've considered using dry ice, but I think I would build a slatted wooden bottom of some sort with stubby leg type supports and put the dry ice in the bottom, put a newspaper on top, then put the custom slatted...

Our first couple of times off grid up in Canada we were carrying 3, 5 gallon jerry cans. That was overkill. We have settled in on 2 extra 5 gallon cans and that works out really well. That gives us a baseline of 330 miles off road till we need more... Those remote secondary tanks are nice, but...

There are way too many really cool runs out there, the entire west that is, let alone the 4 corners region, that I fear life just isn't long enough.. My darling wife and I are addicted to the area and cannot get enough of it. All told, we've been to the Moab/4corners region 4 times in the last 6...

We are currently in the planning stages for next springs adventure. We are looking at 5 to 6 weeks out, minimum. Our daughter, my son in law and our 2 grandsons are joining us on the White Rim Trail, then 2 nights in the Needles. They will head back to Va afterwords to get the boys back in...

We bought a Yeti Tundra 75 qt way before any competition existed for them. We also have an Engel MD14 we use as a dedicated freezer strictly for ice packs and for ice cubes for our evening libations. We ( two people) can pack enough food, milk, orange juice etc etc, for 5 days in the Yeti...

We use ours every time out. When home we take it off and store it with all the other gear. We don't mount it outside the vehicle till we are going to use it. And, before every long trip, usually the dead of winter, it gets doused with nikwax.

Yes, the a300 is a crop sensor camera. So is the a65, but as I understand it, much less cropping.. Nevertheless, It is an amazing lens and finally a prime wide angle that is affordable, due to its being completely manual. The other really cool thing is the F stops. 2.8 thu 22.. It shoots best at...

Yup, he had two jeeps a JKU, then the new Cherokee. We've been over Elephant Hill 8 or 9 times and out through Bobbies hole and up into the Abajos just once. Here I am on our last trip getting 24.5 feet of rig thru the switchbacks..
