I was at Whitmore canyon a couple of months ago and it was not all that far back from Whitmore to the Trumbull school to where you turn towards Tuweep. Whitmore canyon has open dispersed camping so you should not have a problem getting a camp site.

Nomad system

I found a bag at harbor freight for $7

After waiting many months for the Nomad cook system to arrive I am very happy with the quality. It has a 9 inch fry pan and a 2 liter boiling pot. I tested it and it will boil a liter of water in 6 minutes. It uses a reactor plate and each pan has a built in inductive sytem for even heat. You...

I have the Roofnest litewing regular. I bought it because it is only 28 lbs and has a aluminum housing rather than a bag. Very quick and easy to set up. I think the aluminum housing will handle stick and branches better and is more aerodynamic. So far no problem with the carbon fiber rods it uses.

FJ cruiser will be more than enough for the trail I reccomended.

Here are some updates to my Power Wagon build. Putco Xtreme duty bed rack, Free Spirit EVO2 RTT, Bak X2 roll up metal bed cover, CJC molle bed panels, Tslot bed divider and using Jet sleds for storage trays. Added a Rear mopar trailer camera to the RTT so I have clear rear view. Added some...

If you have a high clearance vehicle and not a soft roader like a Subaru, or similar low clearance vehicle I would suggest going down the Washington wash on the North side. Look to travel through Wolf Hollow past TrumBull school to the Bar 10 Ranch. The Bar 10 Ranch is a small resort that sits...

A fridge freezer setup would be my first choice. You might be tempted to get one with a ice maker, don't. It wastes space for the little use you get out of it. And do not get to big of fridge freezer. Get a smaller unit that has a freezer option. If you need more storage space use the freezer...

Added a few more mods. 200 watt CIGS flexible glue down solar panel to top of RTT. Added some Tslot rails to the mid cross bars to hold 2 roto paks per side. Added tslot rails for the smaller Jet Sleds to ride on inside bed with quick detach pins. Added rear Putco brake and back up light for the...

I recently purchased the Stokes Voltaic electric hot water heater/ cooker. Pretty good setup with modes to boil water or heat soup or even make popcorn. They are introducing a self contained induction cook system with pots soon and I can't wait to try it.

This thread reminded me of my dad. When we were not eating Spam out camping he loved to take canned corned beef and mix it with miracle whip and make sandwiches. He always mixed it up cold. My wife was not happy the first time I made this sandwich and she banned it from the house saying the...
