I think so and hopefully it sticks and the culture in the US grows in a positive way as a result. At least in the regions I grew up and live in the outdoors are very unappreciated. I think the RTT is a big factor in the explosion of interest. City people are just very unlikely to entertain the...

Why is yours for sale?

The knives that came in our Coleman campware kit are razor sharp. Sliced my hand open doing dishes on one. If those don’t cut it... I got 2 little wicked sharp knives, I don’t know what they are for specifically but they cut most things. For more utilitarian things I keep my kabar in the truck...

That is the coolest thing I’ve heard all day

I generally monitor the KQ2H (repeater on 146.46 is N2ACF), W2MPX and W2UHF. There is almost always someone on one of these. I can monitor up to 4 channels at a time and I will rotate in KB2RQE, W2AKR or NJ2PC. Radio is on 24/7 and I work next to it 8 hours a day. I have to turn it down to get...

It’s a nice area, IMO it’s the best part of NJ, the closest thing we have to America here. Just brace yourself for paved roads. Everything is paved. But it’s cool seeing some of the mountains go straight into the giant lakes

This comment right here! Comment of the week

You may want to consider parts of NJ. You can get to some parts of manhattan and Brooklyn faster from Fort Lee NJ or Jersey City than if you lived in Queens (tested this many times lol) plus you have a much shorter drive to all the good stuff

Same here, I’m always on N2ACF Pomona (KD2UNH)

Are you on KQ2H also?

This is good reading

As @Specter has pointed out in an earlier post, this is a very valuable thread. Fortunately I don’t have any horror story to contribute and hopefully it stays that way

I like clearing the dead trees off the trail, eventually I want to get a ryobi 40v chainsaw once I decide the size I want and get the funds for it . For now, I just recently picked up a “fireman’s axe” from harbor freight because the weight, size and price made sense at the time. Last year in...

Shortly after I picked up my truck years ago I needed bolt cutters. Bought a set, keep them in the truck 24/7 Haven’t used them since. Guarantee you 3 minutes after I were to take them out I would need them lol

Seems like I’m not alone in thinking Gaia is the reigning champ. Especially now with their partnership with TrailsOffroad

This is the first I’ve heard of Canaan Loop. Do you know where I can get a gpx file for this?

Thanks for sharing all the info @DevilDodge ! When would you recommend to explore this area for the first time?

I think it was originally on LeadNav but if I remember correctly a gpx file that can be used basically in anything is in that thread I shared previously

This is the setup for now. Will be putting this radio into the wife’s Xterra and will be throwing the same 75w radio I use at home in here... after I cut the dash a bit

I would say that it is all beginner friendly except where otherwise noted.
