Yeah, I really liked their state street location and am sorry to see it go, but I'm curious about their new location. It is still only about 10 blocks further south and it is actually a little closer to me, but the location is not really such a big deal. I'm just glad to see that they are still...

I live in Utah and am familiar with both Springbar and Kodiak. Here's the deal. Kodiak is the same design as the Springbar, with minor improvements, but with slightly lower quality canvas and zippers. From what I was told by a Kirkham's (the maker of the Springbar product) employee who has been...

Huge thanks, @Cendee, for taking on this leadership and planning Utah meetups, etc. I live in Utah County but spend a fair amount of time in Davis and Weber counties. As the weather is now perfect for meetups and outdoor outings I hope to see more of them materialize. I'll try to attend if I can.

I recommend Springbar tents, made by hand in SLC, Utah, as they have been for over something like 60 years. Their durability is measured not in years, or even decades, but generations. No joke. I am still using my parents modular Springbar from the 70s. I have tried other tents - Kelty, REI...

The way we typically camp is to set up a base station with a tent, offload a bunch of weight (inside or around the tent), and then explore the trails in the area with a somewhat lighter vehicle and with more room inside. This means invariably for us a rugged canvas Springbar tent that is heavy...

Love your Suburban, War Machine. Looks very capable. I drive a 94 Suburban too. All that room comes in handy.

Just returned from Moab! Fantastic trip. Explored Canyonlands, White Rim, Shafer Road, Potash Road with five adults and four children in the Suburban. Picture taken at Colorado River Overlook, not far from Musselman Arch.

Utah is famous for some pretty amazing paved roads, as described in the Utah Scenice Byways website https://www.visitutah.com/plan-your-trip/getting-around-utah/scenic-byways/. But there are even more spectacular unpaved roads, and downright primitive jeep trails, all over the state that are...

Hello. Live in Utah County. I'm open to a meet up.

You Plan a trip to Utah! I'm happy to give you some tips. I took my rig to MO a couple years ago and explored your state a bit. Loved those rolling hills. We took a lot of obscure side roads and saw some beautiful country. The kids learned some lessons about ticks too!

Hello, everyone. I just joined this community and this is my first post. I am from Utah. I drive an older rig, a 1994 Chevy Suburban with a 6.5 turbo diesel, requiring seating for 6+ people, plus gear, expandable to 11, when the kids bring their friends. Occasionally, I tow heavy. I've been...

Hello. I just discovered this community and want to check it out. Looks to be a well organized bunch! Looking forward to checking it out.
