Thanks everyone for another successful clean up! Watch for an official post on social media from Tread Lightly! and their report. Extra thanks to @12V_Overland for bringing that trailer and helping remove an illegal firepit with us!

Great options, thanks for the in depth reviews too to those who have posted. One day I'll finally ditch my secondhand Coleman with a pair of pliers where the knob should be.

Last reminder here, see you guys this weekend!

You can easily get buried in preparation and it might feel overwhelming to pack for a long trip like that. What I like to start with is, "what is the most likely problem I'll run into here?" and the answer might be "I might get a flat tire before I even reach my destination." So I pack my tire...

I had to research this Spot stuff you mentioned. It seems like a decent enough idea, just make sure you get stranded where you're covered. From their T&C: "Extrication Service - If stuck in a ditch or another inaccessible area; assistance will be provided if the location is within fifty feet of...

Coming up this Sunday, all hands on deck! No registration required anymore, all other info remains unchanged. Come meet the team from Quadratec, Tread Lightly!, and more.

Successful daytrip on the TNJT with @SpookyII :sunglasses: We did the southern/middle section from Egg Harbor City (by Renault Winery) northward until Whiting/Manchester (Wawa on the intersection of 70 and 539). There have been SIGNIFICANT repairs done to the trail, we barely came across so...

Important note, FYI: In the coming week you may receive a cancellation from Eventbrite (if you signed up through there) but do not worry, the event is still on! So good news, you don't have to sign up on Eventbrite anymore just meet us at the Pic next Sunday!

Rally Report November 2023: It turns out that Thursday nights at Backward Flag are also acoustic open mic nights for musicians. The musicians in attendance were mixed genres and most of the crowd were the musicians themselves, if you're interested in playing just show up and add your name to...

Here are our parking arrangements, the purple/pinkish box is the brewery. At the North end of the complex there's a gravel lot butted up to the woods, this area should be big enough and empty enough by 6pm to get us all parked together. The surrounding businesses are still open and the parking...

I think I responded in a similar thread, but I've camped in single digits and in snow. I don't know if you're on the ground or up in a RTT but I like to do tarp, tent, inside tarp or rug, cot, foam pad, sleeping bag, blanket on top. Then I know the whole "ah don't wear clothes you'll sweat and...

Just added a short edit to the end of my post, spoke with the Ranger Station down that way. Not to derail this thread but yeah I despise the govt. website updating schedules haha. When I was in the Army we were required to only use forms from apd.mil, even if we knew the form had been updated...

The US Forest Service link I provided earlier states that it's private property, not me. There very well may be a standing authorization and right of way in place, I just can't find it anywhere online. This area has been a legal battle for nearly 20 years and we need to follow the rules as USFS...

Just for the sake of covering all my bases I want to reiterate that the northern "unmaintained" half of Canaan Loop is private property. You'll want to contact Allegheny Wood Products for permission to enter. Monongahela National Forest - Canaan Mountain Backcountry (usda.gov) You'll see the...

I was closeby, trees are in peak leaf change which is nice. You might miss it in 2 weeks, have you been to Canaan before? The public half of the trail is a gravel road and very well maintained, nothing to worry about. Lots of campsites right off the road.

Yeah, some really cool rigs out there this past weekend.

Hi, I'm your host! US Army SSG (Retired) Ethan Newago I come from a long line of military veterans. I was an active duty Combat Engineer for 10 years, most of my time with the 37th EN BN (C) (A) and the 307th EN BN (C) (A) on what was Ft Bragg (Liberty). I deployed to Iraq in 09-10 and...

I've done this trail straight through once, from North to South. This weekend I'm leading a fellow from another forum through the central section Northward starting in Egg Harbor City. Saturday the 4th. If anyone wants to join, 1 or 2 rigs max, send a DM.

When I'm visiting a particular place, I'll research ahead and if NFS maps are available I'll print them right here at home and just put them in a sheet protector during my trip. It's been a long time since I actually used a wide map that covers a large area, but back then I had huge yard rolls...

It was a nice camp and facilities, for 2 nights and all day gun range use I paid $65. Fishing is included with your stay plus a few other things like the beach etc. IMO well worth it and I can't wait to bring my wife and kid next time. That said, there's no "adventure" to be had there like you...
