    When you take the dogs

    The dogs go everywhere with me and my wife. I wouldnt like leaving them in case somone tried to hurt them. I would feel pretty stupid if somone attacked me and my wife and my dogs that is over 170 pounds is tied up miles away. Like rockytibby said a lot of place you cant do that.

    I am to in california, I get out about once a week into the higher mountains, anything much over 4-5000 feet still has several feet of snow. I was on a plowed road about 7,000 feet up and there was still about 10 feet of snow.My favorite place to camp is still under 3-5 foot snow drifts and...

    Wind up flashlights

    I have a hand crank flashlight. I cant say it would be my main choice for a light, but it would be great if all my other flashlights die on me.

    Brand name gear or no name manufacturers?

    I have both. I have had tons of fun with walmart gear like tents, stoves, hydration bladders etc. But yes I will admit the name brand stuff pays to buy it. Theres a reason it became name brand and popular. Theres only a few times I prefer cheaper gear, when doing lava tubes is one time I will...

    Speaking of People Stealing While You're Camping

    I mostly worry about my gas cans. Me and my wife after setting up camp can be gone for hours, so we try to hide our gas cans the best we can. Two are attached to our jeep but two or three are somtimes just left at camp. Most places we go the extra gas is a must so I try to keep the gas tank...

    Camping sites.

    Both. Yes some places are to good not to go back to. When we go to places we know we load up our 4x6 trailer and go. If going out exploring we just load up our jeep, been down way to many roads a trailer cant go.

    Flash Floods

    I am very paranoid of flash floods. I always look around at all things before choosing where to camp. Not only camping but if you were to cross a stream hiking and come back the stream might be to high to cross again and be stuck on the wrong side.

    Generator

    I still think the generator would be great for a sawzall,powerdrill,a good way to recharge my jeeps battery if I had to run the winch several times in one day, etc. I wouldnt use it for lights,or tvs just mostly for my jeep if anything happens to it. I met a guy who spent 3 extra days camping...

    Long trips

    I never have used a house sitter. All I need is for somone else to forget to lock up or somthing. My two dogs always go,I would never leave them for more than a few hours. I just unplug most things in the house, and lock up if I am going to be gone for a while.

    Who PAYS to camp?

    I second the not needing a gun to go in the wilderness. I have lots of guns,heck they all stay at home. But I dont like to pay to camp. I prefer to disapear out in the woods and be left alone with my wife and dogs. I like that you have all the privacy you could want. If I do go to a pay...

    Jeeps

    Having a jeep does not mean you have to spend all your time outdoors in the jeep. Me and my wife use our to get to some very primitive camping locations, set up base camp and hike from there. It is nice having the jeep campin for many reasons. You can go for over roads most people cannot and...

    Jeeps

    With jeeps is is cheaper to upgrade than replace. If it breaks upgrade! Anything from the factory is factory parts and cost way to much. If you upgrade it is normally cheaper and better parts. Very few things come from the factory are worth keeping. "Good jeeps are built not bought"

    Generator

    I have considered buying one from harbor freight to take camping. Just for quik use things. I never camp around anyone so the noise couldnt bother anyone. I have thought it would be nice to run a jump starter, in case my portable one was dead or needs recharging or recharge my jeeps batery. Or...

    Backyard

    I live on 43 acres, I could have fixed somthing up but its not the same as taking off into the mountains and feeling the fresh air. I would rather use the money spent around the house for more camping gear or gas or anything to get away from home.Where I live though I can be at 6000-8000 feet...
