Hmmmm, been reading this with interest. I am still running my Garmin Monterra for maps. I like it except for the small screen. I download the maps where I'm going to and it always works. I also do extensive GooooooooogleEarth and paper map scouting. I carry Delorme atlas with me. I am good with...

I thought it was good until picture #3......... Count me for rachet straps also.

Just as long as they don't get too eager and start pulling stuff out of yer butt! OUCH!

Get there in the day so you can see the roads and find a camp site. Lots of folks never go past the first group of tufas. These are the youngest and the ones furthest out and to the South are the oldest. Last time I was there there was just a 1 holer by the first tufas. Find a remote camp...

I have a RV3 and throw it up on the roof rack, though at 7' tall it's a PITA. I will carry it on my trailer rack when I finally get around to taking it as it is only 5' tall. I can sleep inside unless I am staying put for a while so getting it down isn't such a big deal nightly.

I also have a different vehicle and used Super strut. How I made it is in my blog; https://poppageno.blogspot.com/2014/04/land-rover-109-roof-rack.html https://poppageno.blogspot.com/2017/08/roof-rack-gets-updated.html Ahhh found my picture file!

Sweet, but crap that's heavy!

Morning Kent, I mountain biked the top half of the GDMBR in the early part of this century, Canada to Silverthorne, over several years as vacation allowed. It was great, until I crashed, but that's not my point. Just my creds. In the 90's among cyclists there used to be a saying; There are...

Naw, wouldn't do it. Just more stuff to go wrong, but then I drive a 1960 Land Rover..............diesel............gloves and a jacket.

In the 70's(yes I'm that old) we used to joke that toilet paper was the Nevada State flower(Big Sagebrush) and bulldozers were the State animal(Desert Bighorn Sheep). My point is this isn't new behavior, just more city folk getting out into the great outdoors...........................sad. What...

Just curious what you are going to use for tiedowns and how you will keep them from sliding? I guess the gray rectangles are cases of some sort? What vehicle will this go on? And as an aside the Super Strut is electroplated galvy. I don't know how that holds up in the PNW.

It is just that as everyone knows, cell phones take crappy pictures, that is why no one uses them. (tongue firmly in cheek) Or just as someone else said Bigfoot is fuzzy.

Did this disappear? I cant find it? Link and search get me to this; https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/things-that-go-bump-in-the-night-tell-your-story-of-chupacabra-ufo-bigfoot-yeti-missing-411.10299/ Whoa! We ran into some problems. Lets see if we can figure this out. For help with...

I dunno, been out in the woods a fair bit, only once heard something I couldn't explain in the Rockies. At home a couple of weeks later and watching one of those Bigfoot hunter shows where they interview a PNW ranger and he tells about this sound he couldn't ID and describes the same sound I...

That's some amazing traction, even for a LR ;^)

I've been to Bodie twice, the more enjoyable way in(more like overlanding) was coming up from Hwy 167. Camping at Big Horn Campgrounds in the Walker State Park is nice. Walker River State Recreation Area | State Parks

I made a DIY rack for my Land Rover and mounted a 270° awning; Awning on a Land Rover 109

Single vehicle? The truck in your avatar? 4x4? According to gooooooooooooglemaps it's about the same if you go 80, 395 or 5, 58, 14, 395. Weather can make the choice. You want to camp or be a tourist? Both? Been looking at googleEarth and youtube videos? Panamint Valley has old mines and a...

I used a MSR Whisperlight International on bike packing and motorcycle trips with unleaded gas. No problems cooking backpacking meals, just boil water! I used the unleaded in my motorcycle when I ran short, that's why I didn't use white gas. For car camping if I want to boil water I use my Kelly...

Like others I've had a variety of tents. I liked my Eureka Timberline the best, 2 person is great for 1. Easy set up very waterproof, but as MMc said it was prone to blow sand in the desert. Then I got older and didn't want to be crawling in and out of a tent, so I got a RTT, hated the set up...
