    Lone Pine to Laurel Lakes - Things don't always go according to plan.

    Awesome report - was a great read and enjoyed the pictures. Looks like you and your son had a blast! Got a trip up in that area the end of July and really looking forward to it now. Thanks for taking the time to share your story.

    Which propane camping fire

    Went for the Big Red Campfire. Quality seems decent, puts off a decent flame and I like the fact that it's self contained. Not having to buy and haul a bunch of wood is pretty sweet. Only used it one night, and it was warm out, so I cant comment on how long the fuel lasts or how much "heat" it...

    ExploreDesert - Keeping it local - Back to Old Dale

    Thank you! Sure was. Thanks! Thank you and no problem! It's a fantastic area. There's still a bit more of vehicle accessible trails I want to go back for and also a bit of hiking to reach some more secluded mines. Definitely. Thank you. I'm using Locus Map Pro. It's been fantastic...

    Who here brave it without rock sliders?

    That lower sill panel is one of the hardest and most expensive pieces of sheet metal to replace on a truck cab. If you plan on doing wheeling, a bit of drilling and welding is much less worrisome then physical damage or having to turn around when the trail just started to get fun. Death Valley...

    Rtt Tepui or CVT Rugged or not? Is it worth it?

    2 seasons with my standard Tepui Kukenam. Besides some dented floor panels I haven't had one single problem. It gets used A LOT. It's been through thousands of miles rough dirt roads and it's held up great. At this point if it were to fall apart I wouldn't blame it. A good friend has the...

    What would you want in the perfect mapping app?

    Extremely happy with my Samsung Note 10.1 Tablet and Locus Map Pro. I use Google MyMaps to mark all waypoints and draw routes. Export to KML and import into Locus. Done. Locus imports correct route line colors and waypoint symbols to match up with what you made in MyMaps. Backcountry...

    ExploreDesert - Keeping it local - Back to Old Dale

    The satellite imagery didn't lie - the area was sprinkled with concrete slabs and walls. It must have been quite a sight to see in it's heyday when operations were underway. We also found a couple vertical shafts that gave Jacob a opportunity to repel for the first time with his new gear. The...

    ExploreDesert - Keeping it local - Back to Old Dale

    Sometimes it's not about the big trips. Time off work, mileage, cost and complexity limits the amount you can get out there and enjoy the outdoors. While it's fun to chase the over-landing dream and cover as much distance as possible, it's also a great time and a bit more relaxing to keep it...

    ExploreDesert - Death Valley - Saratoga Springs to Eureka Dunes

    Thank you. Death Valley is great and should be at the top of everyone's list. While I do have the gps map, I do not share at this time. Beyond our tracks is a vast amount of POI's and additional routes that has taken countless hours to research, find and layout. It's sort of like my off-road...

    Looking for Forum Members to Test a DECKED Storage System

    We've gotten pretty good with organizing our gear and equipment into totes, but I've been dreaming about a drawer setup for quite sometime. Stacking things on top of things becomes bothersome when you need to access commonly needed items. I've already envisioned how it'd be beneficial to our...
