    What isn't "closed" in Eastern Sierra?

    Dispersed camping in the national forests are open. AFAIK, any campground with a bathroom, even if the campground doesn't have hook ups or piped water, is closed and will remain so. Camp fires in Inyo NF are prohibited, but propane fire pits are ok. I'm fearing the national forests are going...

    Wyoming from Washington

    Really rocky and a bit off camber. Last summer it was so wet and boggy too, but there's far less snow this year so it'll probably be much drier. And there's two or three really nice sites at waters edge.

    Wyoming from Washington

    Beartooth Highway and Chief Joseph Highway outside of Cody are must see. They're both designated National Scenic Byways. I've never camped off Chief Joseph, but camping off Beartooth is great. I wouldn't take an Earthcruiser down to Fantan Lake, FYI. You can also drop down into Montana from...

    Travel considerations when acquiring water

    We use three of these for 21 total gallons, plus the frozen and thawing water bottles we have in our ice chests. You can just see the water jugs on the left of the trailer, underneath the RTT.

    Rig setup and electical power managment

    If you're just looking to charge batteries, be it drone, camera, or laptop, you should seriously consider just getting a Jackery external battery with solar panel. The whole breaker set up is way beyond my needs, so I'm no help there. There's vids on YouTube on that stuff if that's the route...

    Rig setup and electical power managment

    Most truck setups only need one battery to handle a winch, comms, charging, etc. when driving. The need for dual battery comes into play if you want to run various things when not driving- like charging a bunch of batteries or using all your lights to illuminate your camp. But unless you're...

    How do i start finding trails

    I can't comment on your particular part of the country, but here in California when I want to take a trip from point A to point B I start with Google maps satellite view and see how I can connect backcountry forest service roads together. The FS road numbers and names show up, for the most...

    Lone Pine

    Alabama Hills are still closed. You're gonna have to head into a national forest or wilderness area. You could try the Inyo Mountains, they look to be free of snow. https://www.blm.gov/visit/alabama-hills-national-scenic-area https://www.blm.gov/site-page/blm-california-covid-19-updates

    Staying warm in the cold seasons. in your rig

    As many have stated, it's important to have an appropriate sleeping bag or quilt combo to stay warm. But a lot of people look past properly insulating what they're sleeping on. We use Exped and REI Dreamliner inflatable mattresses and on cold nights you'll have 6 inches of cold dense air...

    Radios and comms

    I guess you need to figure out who it is you want to communicate with and when you want to do it. If you just want to communicate with people in your immediate group then FRS handhelds will probably do the trick. GMRS will also work with FRS as they share the first 22 frequencies. After 22 the...

    Lone Pine

    If you're set on starting an adventure out of Lone Pine, first place that comes to mind is Alabama Hills. It's good a for a few days of exploring if you've never been before. However, the Inyo Sheriff and BLM still have it on lock down so who knows when that will open. AND by the time it does...

    Finding a balance between camping and driving.

    It's been interesting discussing this and thinking about the options. The point that just came to me is this: rule #1 for backpacking and hiking clothing is to dress in layers which provides maximum convertibility and the ability to be cool or warm in a matter of seconds, depending on the...
