At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability.

    I use the road flare on rainy days and those fire starter sticks and logs but I carry matches and flint starter too. An ax to chip away the wet wood and get to the dry wood.

    I like that Dinkey Creek area but they changed the camp ground in dinkey next to the river. I went to Courtright Reservoir last 4th of July and there was still snow, that's where I broke my step off on a rock. During the winter months I go camping by myself and I go up the hwy 41 just past...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding
