Well, I was at Depot around 4-5pm today. I had the red 91 pos. I know my bud in his green pile gets home around the same time. Maybe you saw one of us?

What's all this talk about no snow? For jeez sake we've got a week and a half! Give it a chance.... :doh:

You can't really go wrong with an XJ. It's a very fair price from what you can see in the pics. Of coarse this is assuming it passes smog. Be sure and make him get the smog! A 91 and up would be a better choice, but that is not to say this is a bad choice. Like Mp said it probaly has the...

"cool for people who have nobody to wheel with or are very new to wheeling" Actually quite the opposite is true. Sierra Trek is one of the original organized runs and they have some folks that have been running it for 20 -30 years. Most of the attendees are very experienced club members from...

I think we should try to stay on topic in this post. In other words, let's not debate the fact that some folks shouldn't wheel alone. If you have to ask then the answer is no. Which is exactly what Letterman said and I agree whole heartily. That being said, equipment wise in theory you...

Blondejon- Don't use those snake bit kits. Don't cut it either. Slow down, make the scene safe (in other words get away so you don't get bitten twice), isolate the area of the bite, clean the bite area, keep the bite area lower than the heart, try to remain calm and transport. If you're...

Hey, maybe NAXJA Sierra should sponsor a Field First Aid training session? How many of you are CPR/First Aid certified?

Phil- Absolutely everything is relative. Wheeling alone is never a problem on Fordyce or the Con, but what about Dusy? We went 2 full days this past summer and didn't see a soul, it was cooool. Then again, professional rescue was two days away too. So yes, your level of preparation...

I'd like to get everyone thinking in a "what if" mode. What if while winching out the heep the cable breaks? What if after being unable to free the heep in the above scenario, I'm walking out and I fall into a ravine and severly break a leg or otherwise become immobile? What if I'm...

Evo- How old? This will be my Daughters first trip as a part time driver (permit). She's 15.75 (almost 16). This trip is still Mormon Emmigrant Rd. correct?

Let's just leave it at spirited individuals expressing their opinions. No disrespect intended to anyone. No matter what, none of us wants anyone to not make it home, ever.

A- If this man had another jeep with him he would not be dead. Period. B- There was no reason to go alone. It was his choice. A bad one that cost him his life. C- So it's ok to do something that every acknowledged professional on the subject says never to do, based on the fact that...

You know I figured we were going to just agree to disagree and leave it at that. But alas I guess not. Quote: Originally Posted by DanNJeep But, I only say this because I don't want to see another life lost needlessly. There was no reason this man had to go alone, but because he did he's no...

If you truly had "common sense" we wouldn't be having this conversation. But, I only say this because I don't want to see another life lost needlessly. There was no reason this man had to go alone, but because he did he's no longer with us. Just looking out for my fellow wheeler.

"Self reliance and preparedness are not for everyone." Smart choices arn't for everybody either. Don't worry, it could never happen to you. You're too smart. You're too prepared.
