Countdown has begun... 4 weeks until the trip.

I might have my new Prinsu rack on by then...maybe.

If you think you might need to do your front brakes, please do before you're on a trail with me.

Get that on there... I want to see one up close in person.

I'm more considering doing them because of the amount of time and mileage than any signs of actually needing to. More precautionary than anything.

I know a few of us will have CBs and handhelds so there will be more than a few ways to communicate rig-to-rig. I will update the first post to add you to the list.

What ham handhelds did y'all buy?

I don't remember off the top of my head. It was a Yaesu or Baofeng off of Amazon though.

Edit: Found it.

The issue will be if it arrives on time. I ordered later than I wanted.

No room to snuggle me. Sleeping in a hammock.

We'll see about that.

Last time I went camping in the Ozarks the forecast was a low of 53. We woke up to 31 degree temps and rain. That was in April 2015. I assume that if it gets that cold in April that it could happen in October...

Lows in the 50s would be awesome for the trip.

It's gonna happen.

 

[balakay]

It got down in the 50s at night when we there in May last year.

So let's talk fuel. How much spare gas does one need for this adventure? I kind of assume none given the short duration of this trip, but want to double check anyway.

Make sure you get a lid for your trash can, we don't want the gas to spill in bed of truck and drip down on your exhaust system while on the trail.

 

[Taco Loco]

5 gallon can, but hell idk I'm just a duckling following a trail of trucks to where ever

None. Bring a couple gallons if you have room for it but I think we'll have more spare fuel than is needed for the group.

 

[tx_shooter]

Really depends on the size of the gas tank onboard. My 18.5 tank tends to empty faster than other people's larger tanks. I will probably bring a spare 5 gallons.
