    Trip Report Wyoming BDR August 16-26

    The Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route was pretty darn tough. I have done all or significant parts of the BDRs for NM, CO, MT and ID. None were as hard as WY. The week before we arrived there was a week long Jeepers Jamboree. Maybe it was wet and they damaged the trails. Maybe its all the Razor...

    Mountain Khaki Pants

    Worn very little. Size 34 x 30. They’re the slim-fit, or Broadway cut, and too tight in the legs for me. Shipped anywhere in lower 48 for $55. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PullPal vs Other Winch Anchors

    I have a PullPal rated for my 6000# vehicle. It’s big, cumbersome, heavy and a finger biter. I’ve only used it once in seven years. It did save my ****** that one day. But I look at all the heavy bars and linkage and wonder it all that is really needed. I have some ideas for simplifying and...

    Rimrocker and Kokopellis Trails June 2020

    Usually I have good notes to do a report from upon completion of a trip. But from lack of practice (shutdown) or just poor memory my notes are quite incomplete. This report will be pretty general but hopefully others will contribute to fill it out. We gathered at my place in Cedaredge...

    LED Campfire?

    With all the fire bans here in the west, including propane campfires in some areas, I was wondering if anyone makes a LED substitute. It’s seems to me a small light with a nice yellow/orange glow that also flickers could add some ambiance even if no warmth. I have a LUCI Light that switches...

    ROFs SE Utah Trip Part II

    Continuing: The next day was calm which I'm sure was welcomed by the film crew. I broke camp early and headed out to Croton Road. I saw one low clearance SUV on the way in and told her the area was empty. Turns out she was the only moving vehicle I saw all day after 57 miles and 7 hours of...

    Tent Cot Collapsable Double

    I have owned several Camp-rite Tent Cots over the past eight or so years. Still have the original CCTC in my collection of tents. Recently I was in Sportsmans Warehouse and I saw a CCTC Double on display. I'm thinking this might be my answer to a very quick camp set up with room for me and...
