    Vegan

    How, what and why we eat what we eat is always complicated when you break it down. I prefer "vegan-arian", and can't say I'm 100% 24/7 plant-based eater, but I try. The occasional butter or cheese does work it's way in, and sometimes I'll see eggs on the ingredients list of something I like. A...

    What's your campfire in fire season or no campfire areas?

    Same here. Works great and packs away nice and clean too.

    ROOF TENT?

    Have to admit, that’s pretty ingenious. I have yet to see anything like that, and I like it.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Just picked up a Wagantech Lithium Cube 500 w/solar panel. Looking forward to trying it out soon. I guess that means I might be looking at fridges soon. lol Mostly got it so wifey could use it for a CPAP on trips, but I also wouldn't mind having a bit of extra juice on trips.

    NorCal newbie here

    Welcome from the North Bay. Vehicle choice is going to be mostly dependent on what you want to do, or don't plan on doing. Also living in the City complicates things a bit when it comes time to store your gear. Out of all the choices you've listed the Lexus might be the most versatile in that...

    ROOF TENT?

    Pretty much in line with my rationale too. Plus I don't want to carry my gear everywhere and everyday.

    Do you carry bolt cutters?

    I carry one for emergencies only. Wildfires are real risk and if I were to ever need to evacuate, and I can’t go out the way I came in, the last thing to stop me is locked/chained gate.

    Usal Beach Cleanup and logistics

    Maybe get some North Bay folks involved too. I think after a summer of heavy use, this might be a good time for a clean up.

    US West North Bay meet-up

    I guess that could be a meet-up. If you want to set that as the meet-up for October, that would be fine. I think a "Meet-up/Roll-out" would be cool.

    US West North Bay meet-up

    I would love to do shuttle runs off Hull Mountain. I remember seeing videos years ago about those, but have never been. I wouldn't even know what trails to take.

    Bummer. Any suggestions on how to keep things going? Last month there were only a 3 of us.

    Unfortunately, I'm not able to make it this morning. I hope y'all still meet up and talk about pre-trip safety, etc. Let me know how it goes. Sorry for the last minute cancellation on my part.

    RTT vs Ground

    I've never done the RTT route, but I know it's not for me. Climbing a ladder to get in and out = no. I like being able to stand in my tent to get dressed, I'm done shimming into my clothes while laying down. Ground tenting =/= sleeping on the ground, that's what cots/air mattresses are for...

    I was also thinking if people want to bring their tool kits that they take with them, that could also be helpful.

    I'm going to try and set up these meet-ups for the 3rd Saturday of the month. I'm hoping this gives folks enough time to plan when these will be happening.
