Bigfork, nice area, Check out Red Meadow Lake to the North and camping at Coopers Lake to the south near Ovando is nice too. Although no camping Clearwater Lake , between Condon and Seely Lake is worth the short hike. Remember this IS grizzly territory! Holland Lake while nice is very developed.

I have a small propane tank, mainly because I don't do the gourmet thing, Boil water for backpacker meals or oatmeal and coffee in the morning. I have a Kelly Kettle to boil water or a single burner Coleman stove. Then I'm not feeding anyone else either. I got the propane mainly for my Buddy...

I think any tank you find at the major retailers will be good. You need to decide capacity THEN get a mount. I am happy with the mount I made; Land Rover 109 propane tank mount

Hmmmm, With 4x4 too much traction can be an issue. What vehicle and type of 4x4 system have you got? I've known peoples who drive around in 2 wheel drive until they get stuck, then put it in 4x4 and get unstuck, they call that fourwheeling, then others who put it in 4x4 at the first sign of...

My thoughts on the topwater box is; HOLY CRAP, IS THAT EXPENSIVE! and trying to lift a RV4 over the lip of the bottom when it is more than 5' high is asking a lot. If you could make/find something where the side folds open.... Do you plan on having the RV4 permanently on the vehicle? If not...

Thanks Jim, got 1!

I'd suggest getting some good NATO style metal cans, like these; Militaria, Collectibles & Tools Not affiliated.

Supposed to be 102° here on this Thursday. Since you know the area.

Have you modified your original map route on the first post? It's always hot in the Western Summer. In 2003 it was 116° while riding the GDBMR. Not fun, but when yer on a schedule, and we survived! I think I drank 5-6 liters of water that day.....

There has been a few, no pictures though. From just missing a deer on my motorcycle that ran out from behind a tree, it was so close I could have slapped it's butt if I wasn't frozen up. To getting sideways on a hill with a cliff on the downhill, no traction, no winch, had to walk a mile and...

Thanks Michael, I don't have any apps, Just got a smart phone last year during the CZU fire. I'm just on a few forums online.

Hmmmm, I wonder if this will really help or if it will just be full of new members asking other new members for ideas? In other words will experienced members be checking this thread often? Surely, and I'm calling you Shirley, a question will get more views on that general topic thread? I dunno...

40" tires, 4" lift, a roof top tent, winch, highlift jack, drawer system, Ham Radio, Skottle, drone, 360° awning, The biggest 12v frig/freezer you can fit in your new drawer system, air compressor, girlfriend, dog, Tablet loaded with Gaia, Shower system. All are a must have what you don't need...

I don't know Parashant. The South rim of Grand Canyon is 7000' and the North rim is 8000'. South rim is likely to be crowded and reservations probably full. Though I've never been, North rim is remote self supported camping, check out some youtube videos.

I did the same as DSM1, 2 gallon sprayer and kitchen faucet sprayer.

Read this article; Death Valley Germans - Wikipedia The heat in the SW Basin and Range desert can be oppressive and deceiving, Phoneix has weeks of over 100°F days and it cools off at night to the upper 70's. Death Valley NP is larger than the State of New Hampshire. I hear Canada is nice in the...

I'd avoid anything below 5000' in July in the SouthWest. Oregon or Montana are nicer then, but can still be freaking HOT! Visit the hell out of Colorado. The Southwest is sooo much better Spring/Fall.
