    National Park/Monument Pics

    Just got back from Sequoia and King's Canyon. Now THAT is an area that blends national park, forest, monument, state, and God knows what else land. One second you think youbare in a national park, the next you are on a dirt road heading through a gate into an area that looks like you might be...

    SAN DIEGO IS CAPITAL OF OVERLANDING IN NORTH AMERICA

    This seems as good a place to ask as any. I have an OME lift kit and UCA's for an '07 FJ that need installing, but I just don't have the space to lift the truck high enough in my garage to do the job. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy shop in the San diego area? If it is the overlanding...

    US West Opinion on Joshua Tree wind this weekend?

    Everything I have been to josbua tree at least one day has been ruined by wind. There just isn't any shelter from it on trails. You might get lucky with a sheltered camp site in Indian cove. If it is warm enough it might not be so bad, but when it is in the 50's or less, it pretty much just sucks.

    Lost 5 more formerly awesome camping spots in Colorado...

    I think a big part of the problem is the' "Just get out there and do it!" attitude. Being outdoors in wild and sensitive areas is not something that you just do without a whole bunch of knowledge and understanding first. Campgrounds where the rangers are tasked with cleaning up after people and...

    Lost 5 more formerly awesome camping spots in Colorado...

    There should be a bounty system. Take pictures of people in these camps and provide to managing agency. If they don't clean up after themselves, they end up fined and banned from public lands. The person that turned them in gets half the fine. There is zero excuse for the fools acting like...

    FIREWOOD

    And by source locally, they don't mean to strip desert washes bare of downed wood that took decades or centuries to accumulate so that you can have a fire for an hour. LNT still applies despite what youtubers trying to show off chainsaws and feel cool on camera would have you believe.

    Deal on water cans (LCI) update with link to insulated carrier page 6

    I ordered two tan and two drab to have some for travel, some for prep. They sent three tan and only one drab. When I sent an email to see what I needed to do they just decided to send another green one and told me to do whatever I wanted with the fifth (third tan) water can. Not a bad deal.

    What is the rooftop storage situation with the bronco? I cannot imagine it is great.

    Anyone used a vehicle leveler app?

    It does not seem any better than a level to me. Unless hooked up to an auto leveler, a program like this is kind of gimmicky.

    Dometic Fridge in Pickup Bed and Bear Country

    Seems like you just want to pick a fight. I will not oblige you. Sorry.

    Dometic Fridge in Pickup Bed and Bear Country

    Correct. And I brought up LNT for perspective on why it is not only you that deals with the consequences of inadequate preparation. LNT is not about the individual, it is.about everyone that comes after. A bear learning that jeeps have easy food in them is a danger to the bear, and everyone...
