Dear OB family,

Obviously the best people to be a part of a necessary recovery are the trail buddies that are with you.

Now, lets say you go spontaneously, because out of nowhere you wife with three kids do something that allows you one or two days to go out there. Folks with little kids know that you have to take those opportunities but nobody you know is jumping on the train.

Do we have information of specialist off road recovery firms that we also could add to the OB map?

I know in Moab are a bunch of those companies but I live in NorCal, and explore a lot the national forests from here down the Sierras till almost the southern border.


Tahoe, El Dorado, Stanislaus, Yosemite, Sierra, King Canyon, Squoiab- Natioal Forest/Park.

If I am stuck there, who could I call?

What about the famous parks in SoCal:

Death Valley, Mojave, Joshua Tree, Anza-Borrego

I came across this website a few months ago;

I don't remember if it was from watching Justin King and Colorado 4x4 or somewhere else... But I thought it would be prudent to bookmark for later.

Nice thank you! Saved the number and information and signed up for membership.

I still try to find out on how to use our, Overland Bound, SOS feature.
When I am on map, members, I can do send a group message to several people in the area but I thought there is a special SOS message form deployed. When I go on the plus sign for Map Check In, it tells me to do SOS messaging from the map. I don't see it.

Can someone guide me here please?

Since the question really has to do with CA, you might go to the West regional page and also go to the general discussion page to get more eyes on the Q.
As for SOS it works from the member map and if you are unable to see it please use this link to find out what might be the problem.
