2016 Sierra Carnage

Be sure to let us know if you are making OSO so we know whether to look for you or not. As long as you have the basics you will be fine, high Sierras back up fan, sliders, rear traction aid, reasonable tires....
Nothing like sitting around camp wondering where someone is.

Are you guys going to bring your chainsaws?

I can bring a chainsaw, if that's ok. How does California feel about chainsaws cutting up logs for fire wood? I at least assume that's why you asked.

This year I have a door prize....Say for baddest line taken AND MADE?( wont be me because I never make it :smiley_drive

We should have had one of those for last years trip. I might have won that. Such a shame. I just wanted to stay away from the pink hat.

I don't really know the laws or really care for them lol, I've done it before..I was just asking since I heard there were a lot of trees on this road..

I have never brought a chainsaw. Ok, maybe on some early season mtn rides decades ago. There is no rule against it, then again I have never gotten one of those ridiculous fire permits either. I have thought about starting to take one to Silverton on the 4th because there is so little firewood. The biggest issue with a chain saw is they stink. So you have to put it on the roof rack or something. Certainly would make firewood gathering a breeze as there is always lots of larger downed trees.

If a chainsaw would help, I would be glad to bring one. I'll bring a big boy chainsaw.

Opens up firewood options for sure. As long as you don't bring a Pullin chainsaw :REOutShootinghunter

good info re:fires here.

the dusy-ershim is still listed closed, but then it is until 8/1.......lots of closed trails listed.
chainsaw could be worth it, if we were first in, but i suspect we will be following others.
mabe

 

[ManfromSnowyRiver]

A few days in I doubt we are first.....then again the trail opens during the work week so it is possible. Maybe a chainsaw is a good idea....

 

[PA_JERO]

I'll add that to my list then.
