    Off-Road Rescues in Colorado Are Getting Out of Hand

    I believe many of these overlanding types are similar to those that want to pet the buffalo or take a selfie with a bear or moose. A majority of people cannot handle or mentally equipped to handle wilderness more than 400 yards from the parking lot. I recall doing a hike around Bandolier...

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    Just curious. Any OGT owners use mud flaps or curtains on their tow vehicles to protect trailer from road debris? Or what experience or advice regarding a wrap on leading edge of the trailer to minimize possible chipping. Love the pics of mud covered trailers and wondering of ways to minimize...

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    Not sure where to post this question for folks owning an OGT trailer, but is there a spot or forum where we could share and post routes that fellow OGT owners have done and state what type of tow vehicle used? I personally drive a large truck and being a larger platform may/could have issues...

    Something Weird in the Forest

    I used to live in El Paso and frequented all NM offered. At the time I would back pack with my two dogs and recall on several occasions meeting some strange folk in the absolute middle of nowhere. I carry. I do recall when moving there and a subscriber to backpacker magazine, an article about...

    Bee stings in remote areas

    will respectively disagree when it comes to anaphylaxis shock from a sting. only takes one if allergic and maybe 45 minutes till dead if reactive. Anaphylaxis can result in swelling of breathing airways similar to someone with an asthma attack…if it swells up and chokes off airway leads to...

    Bee stings in remote areas

    I’d like to add that food items like meat tenderizer or vinegar will help. Ease the pain in camp. Breaks down the protein.

    Bee stings in remote areas

    Bee's not to be confused with wasps, yellow jackets, hornets. Bee's have a barbed stinger and can only get you once. The barbed stinger with 'venom' sac will stay attached when the bee pulls out and flies off, eventually dying. Don't smack or swat them, brush them off. The other guys mentioned...

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    Is there a thread discussing routes for vehicle platform size pulling trailers? Like Jeep Rubicon/OGT? Galdiator/OGT? Tacoma/OGT? Etc, etc. My tow vehicle is a Ram truck. I have a 2002 OGT Expo. Honestly never pulled a trailer to camp. Always just been in my truck. Prior to my truck was with a...

    Dealing with wasps while cooking.

    Good one. The whole purpose of a bait/lure to draw them away. never ceases to amaze me the number of folks that put bug zappers right outside their doors. Oh yeah, you'll hear it zappin'em and think it was money well spent. Problem is you are attracting that many and more towards the house. Set...

    Dealing with wasps while cooking.

    I know this late to the party but depending on the time of year, wasps bees hornet dietary needs change. They will forage miles from their nests or hives. Instead of spraying set out away from camp, not in camp, before you start cooking or guzzling that soda or other drink, a lure. Invite them...

    good points and food for thought. I got the expo and my thinking was it's not just for me, but the family as a whole. My boys have vehicles that could pull but don't necessarily have the other gear if they wanted to do a trip of their own. My rig has been really the support vehicle for everyone...
