There is the Pickett fire just South of the Mendo Forest; 6,800 acres, 13% contained https://app.watchduty.org/i/60914

I got out of the Quinn River in the Black Rock Desert using a spare tire buried vertically in the ground with a prybar on the backside and the winchline running through the center hole attached to the prybar. Just keep the center hole below ground level so it doesn't pull out.

Might help to think about what you want/need to put on such a structure and the changing of center of gravity, reduction of cargo capacity with GVR limits. Of course all related to where you want to go and how long. We know already that you take too much food ;^) Someone who does soft...

Along the entire US West coast due to a 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Kamchatka, Russia. Hitting around midnite. U.S. Tsunami Warning Centers Stay away from lower coastal areas.

I put a magnet on the back of mine and stuck it on my inside firewall.

Watch Duty is fantastic! I've been using it for 8 months. CalFire has a 10 acre limit before it lists fires. Watch Duty just needs to smell smoke and they list it.

Any added weight in either recovery or protection is a concern. I would like to have rock sliders on my 109 but the added weight takes away from the amount of gear(and quality of camp life) I can take, based on my GVW. Then it restricts where I can go, such as Dusy Ershim, Rubicon, Moab, Sand...

Just to clarify you went with the BougeRV New 3500BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I made a simple tool for installing rivnuts and thought some folks might be interested in making one. The whole story is in my blog; DIY rivnut tool

But it can be done!

Jim, Thanks for asking. As a Ludite, I don't have a microsoft acct. Actually it's because I don't want to my info tracked and abused so I keep a low online profile. Probably a useless tactic, I know, but...... I need to put a roof on my house so likely won't be going. Have fun!

Krusteaz is great! Try making it with coffee or tea instead of water too.

Are you traveling alone? Are you in a hurry? It can be HOT in Aug. Have you looked on GooooooooooogleEarth? I've wanted to go see Bass Camp, East of Mono. Unique pioneer/miner camp.

I saw the other nonportables on yer thread. This NT one though less expensive, doesn't seem as good as those. What do they mean by " with a temperature control range between 75°F and 89°F."? It won't go below 75 and won't help if it's above 89? I spent a miserable night in Saline Valley when it...
