    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnn.com/travel/amp/alaska-into-the-wild-bus-removed-trnd/index.html I have never gotten around to reading the book or even watching the movie and after reading a little of the accounts if Chris Mccandless I'm not sure I want to any more. Anyway, they air...

    Backpacking thread

    Looking for information/advise on clothing. I was thinking that when car camping I wear cotton t-shirts this time of year. I have some shirts that are moisture wicking that I use for running and figured that that would do for backpacking. Is that accurate or do I need something else material...

    Backpacking thread

    Got it. Link for those interested. https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/168428/alps-mountaineering-zephyr-2-tent I would be REALLY tempted to get this but I am about to buy a backpack and I am pretty sure my wife will kill me if I buy a tent too. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Backpacking thread

    Hahaha....apparently it is a great tent as it is no longer available. Oh well, I have switched to a hammock anyway. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    That sucks. I know the wait list for Havasupai is long to begin with. Let us know how Coyote Gulch is. For some reason the pictures didnt come up on all trails. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Butcher Jones Recreation area

    Crap. I was going to go out there a few weeks ago and it looked like it was closed. Wasted opportunity. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    I need to go camping

    Insulation only works when it's not compressed. So when you are in your sleeping bag and crushing the insulation beneath you it isnt working as well. Maybe a sleeping pad even some extra blankets for you to sleep on top of (seems backwards right) will help. I hammock camp and use an under...

    Sycamore Canyon

    I am here. Last night. I am drinking so if this post goes a bit sideways that's why. I just wanted to share some pics. I came up here looking to fill in the last piece of my sanity and I succeeded. I feel good. Really good. Im ready to get back to work. A few people hinted around about...

    I need to go camping

    Gotcha. A few trips ago I was looking at maps of the William's area but for some reason I never went. I remember there being more then a few lakes up there. I will start looking around that area again. Any specific lakes that you remember? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Coconinos? Is that a lake or an area? Or just the forest? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    I need to go camping

    I've seen the same thing. I was thinking about going over to the Alpine area but I have only been there once before. I am wondering if I should go somewhere I am more familiar with. I have only been the the Apache-Sitgreves NF the one time. Open to suggestions if anyone has some. Sent from...

    I need to go camping

    It's a done deal for me. I already took the last weekend in April off. Friday, Monday and Tuesday. I dont think I have ever been on a 5 day camping trip....definitely havent as an adult. Just need to decide where to go. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    I need to go camping

    Tonto's website says it open to dispersed camping. I think its just the established campgrounds and public toilets that are closed. I would imagine Sitgreaves is similar.

    I need to go camping

    I think I am going to try and make up for my last trip being cut short at the end of the month. Trying to make it a 5 day trip and go further then normal. Thinking Alpine but the Grand Canyon just popped into my mind....but I think I heard they closed the park. Sent from my SM-N960U using...

    Coronavirus closures

    I would assume that all established recreation areas are closed for the duration. Besides, why would you risk going to a place where masses gather?

    I need to go camping

    I am still learning the nuances of it. Took me a while to find trees and need to get better at when and how to use my cover tarp. I basically had a wind tunnel this trip and don't think I even needed it this trip even though it was cold. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    I need to go camping

    Thanks. I could never get into cots. To flat and narrow. But maybe with a foam pad. I might have to look into the double cots and see if it might encourage my wife to come with me. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    I need to go camping

    Ended up going to Aztec Peak...tried to get near the top but the road was impassable by snow. Not just me but the tire tracks I was driving in stopped and I couldn't get any further then the rest. Doubled back and ended up staying in a spot on Reynolds Creek. Everything was swollen from...

    Was thinking about a trip next weekend but since the truck is just getting out of the shop (probably Monday) I am not sure it's a good time to be in the middle of nowhere. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Yes it is. I often wonder if I have all, or even most of that knowledge at 45. I haven't ever really listened to the words for that song but its spot on. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
