If heading into southeastern Utah, anything by Craig Childs. His first book, Stone Desert, is soon to be rereleased with his notes from which he wrote the book. It is specific to the Canyonlands area, but universal in its appeal to those wishing to learn how to see the Southwest. He'd best...

I do most of my trips solo and prefer it for a large number of reasons. I'm actually teaching a class at Overland Expo West on going solo. I've done most of your list solo, though with the exception of White Rim (a fantastically scenic trail if you love sandstone) you will have plenty of...

Hope to see everyone there. Will be teaching a class and hanging out at the GaiaGPS booth. Stop by there if you have any GaiaGPS questions.

I've done several of the raft trips and my wife has done more than I. But we are both experienced adventurers (hikers, backpackers, canyoneering, Overlanding, etc). The rescue I mentioned was on one of those commercial trips. The lady did survive, but only after being resuscitated on the...

There's a great book called "Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon " by Michael P. Ghiglieri and Thomas M. Myers. It lists every known death in the Grand Canyon and the story behind it if known. They update it every year. While there are a few true accidents and some suicides, most of the...

I secured mine with two long strips of heavy-duty velcro 4 years ago and had zero problems. An added benefit is being able to easily move the stove if you aren't cooking from the back of your rig.

New to Instagram. But I'll be adding lots of photos as I ramble the southwestern US. I am currently mapping trails for TrailsOffroad.com. Check it out. https://www.instagram.com/wanderingbearoverland/ https://www.trailsoffroad.com/

Enjoying some trail running and camping in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in southwest Arizona. Beautiful, rugged and lonely area. https://www.instagram.com/wanderingbearoverland/

Thanks for sharing your trip. We just ended a 21-day run through SE Utah with 1 night at the Wall and 2 nights at Dollhouse 2 coming in and out through Hite. Probably crossed paths somewhere along the way. Getting the 4Runner through Teapot Canyon with my very nervous spotter/wife was...

Wow! Just WOW! That is a seriously well thought out build and some impressive skills to make it work. Thank you for sharing.

Typically I go with the Freedom/Recreation plan if I will be out 2 or more weeks. I send the free presets each evening and morning from camp to family and friends that are following along and of course my designated overwatch. The MapShare page lets those I wish to have following me see my...

Great post! One thing I'd add, operating an InReach is not intuitively obvious to everyone. I try to make sure when traveling with a group that someone else knows at least the basics of how to operate my device. I usually designate a person, or persons, as overwatch. They need to know...

Thanks for that well thought out post. I have a Partner Steel stove on the way as part of a kitchen/sleep/drawer system for the back of my 4Runner and had debated getting their griddle. I think you sold me!

I hope to run Chloride as well. Would love to grab your POIs for my planning. (wmay1234@gmail.com) Would be happy to share anything I have from AZ or UT that you'd be interested in.

I've run the Front Runner Double Jerry Can Holders on my Gobi Rack for 3 years now with no issues. I positioned the jerry can holders directly above the fuel neck and use the siphon mentioned above. Beats trying to use a pour spout and hold up the heavy can. Absolutely no issues with that set...

Most of the loose stuff was in the two baskets (highly recommended options), so just lift one out. The few things below the basket were fairly large (think one of the premade salad kits), so didn't take much to move one aside to get to the ice level. Since he original post I have totally quit...
