    Engineer Pass/Ouray/Silverton trail questions

    Alpine Loop Day 1 is a nice one day loop. I would never run the trail half way and then back. I have done this probably 20 times over the last 40 years.

    Offroad Trailer vs Offroad Teardrop

    I looked at all the options for decades. I mostly camp alone (city wife) so I just slept in the back of the Cherokee. I am getting older (crap) and don't like sleeping on the ground and with bad knees, up and down a ladder isn't in the cards. I looked at building a small trailer, but then...

    How do you carry your recovery boards?

    Personally, I never have used or needed them in the last 50 years, but if they help for what you wheel... great. At least you aren't buying them to show off to the Mall crowd, and it is a nice well done way to carry them without the sun/UV cracking them all to pieces in a couple of years.

    What is your preferred shelter? (Rooftop Tent vs Ground Tent vs Etc...)

    Contented?? I am an engineer... nothing is ever good enough or done. I am working on remote rear wheel steering to get through tight spots better.

    What is your preferred shelter? (Rooftop Tent vs Ground Tent vs Etc...)

    I prefer my teardrop. Once I get to an area, I can drop it off and go do trails that are impossible to do with it (aka Rock Crawling).

    Insulated Teardrops

    I don't know about other, but I built my teardrop with 1" of styrofoam all the way around. I also run a diesel powered truck heater. You just flip the switch and set the thermostat to stay toasty. It vents to the outside, so no worries about carbon monoxide.

    Overlanding with a CPAP; Power options?

    All the cpap's I have had over the last 20 years had a 12v input and I only had to fab or buy a cord to connect it to the battery (cig lighter) Note: running the humidifier on most will limit you to the inverter route and radically up you power draw. I find the humidifier isn't usually needed...
