It is also important to remember to take your furry companion with you (if possible) on excursions since leaving them in a hot car can be deadly.

Love the Name. Hey Farkle!

Just came across this thread. Great trailer and nice work on the mods. I will say this about AMO and Justin - great outfit and great guy to work with. I am just starting the process of purchasing a "project" trailer from Justin and I am excited to begin a similar journey. Justin has been amazing...

Wow! I am pleasantly surprised and honored to be the first to display this rocker dedicated to those who serve. I'd like to honor my first position in my department, it has been the foundation of my career. So I'd like to have the following etching - if possible - RRFD FireMedic Thank you for...

Very interesting thread. I've certainly learned a lot. We have always opted for the "cat hole" method (from our backpacking days). I know that the environmental concerns have to be considered, especially in areas where packing it out is preferable. Besides, as I age, squatting over a hole is...

OUCH Chris, that last comment stings a bit. Notice on my post I didn't mention anything about why firefighters are around so cops have heroes....LOL! It's all in good fun. Stay safe brother, we're ALL family in BLUE.

The backcountry permit is well worth the effort. There is not a lot of open roads and you can get to the end in a bit less than 2 hours. They limit the number of permits issued each day, so it is not crowded. Mostly maintained dirt roads (nothing technical for sure - can do with stock rig...

Unfortunately I don't know about this brand. I have been doing some research on "teardrop" type off-road trailers and didn't come across this one. Looks pricey, but agree that it looks like a tank. Good luck on your search.

Agreed with NMTaco's assessment of some great NM places. I might add checking out the Gilman Tunnels (famous in numerous movie scenes) up in the Jemez Mountains, while planning your cruise through the red rocks and mountains near Jemez Springs. Not to mention the hot springs and Jemez Falls...

I like it, worthy of display as a decal, patch, badge. Paul B. Rio Rancho (N.M.) Fire & Rescue FF/Paramedic NM Mounted Search and Rescue

Funny, I ended up looking at the store after I posted. Doh! should of looked first. That is not a bad looking design. I'll probably order one in gray.

Hoodie, sure, long sleeve T, also a good offering.

Banjo after a trail bath due to her desire to roll in bear-poop while on an expedition in the mountains. She thought it was something that she had to check off her bucket list I suppose.

Thank you for sharing your travels with us all. I have recently become a fan/follower of your adventures. Keep planning your next great adventure so we can all travel to these exotic and remote locations vicariously through the XO crew.

While in the area you should take the short drive up to Cloudcroft and/or Ruidoso. Beautiful areas in the mountains and well worth the trip.

I'm pretty conflicted on my choice for overland camp stove. I have tried various including the old-trusty-nearly-40-year-old Colman white gas model. It is reliable and the only maintenance I've had to do is to replace the pump gasket. However, I have tried the single-burner propane model, but...

Wow, nice rig. That is exactly the set up I was going for, down to the color I want. Unfortunately, I am not financially ready to pull the trigger just yet -- need to talk the wife into spending the money and she's not yet convinced that we need this. I'll watch this thread in case she feels...

Interesting thread. I have been struggling with my kitchen set up. I have the REI fold out kitchen, but I found it to be cumbersome. I was thinking about a box set up, but they just look so heavy and take up valuable space. I like the idea of the pouches hanging from the awning (Tailgatorz?)...

Just came across this thread. Exciting to say the least. These types of trips are certainly in my retirement plans (currently 2-5 years down the road). You did an amazing job of packing. The only feedback I would have is to consider a 12v fridge. I didn't see mention in the posts and it looks...

...since we are not really using backboards anymore, good use of a useless item (my true view of backboards comes through).
