Well hell guys! I might just lose some friends here but I am gonna open my mouth anyway.
If it takes all that gear to do what you want to do in our national parks... it is no wonder the sisters are closeing them left and right. To have on MUST TAKE list bailling wire/cable plumber strap duct tape electrical tape autotrans fluid steering fluid oil brake fluid first aidkithose clamps nuts & bolts (diff sizes and lengths) 2gal water gasket sealer/maker and lots of other stuff...
wow! How much of a trail are we leaving for the sisters to come look at?
I have spent much more time in the wilderness than most have made time for. I have never had to have a list like this one. I have left barely a sign that I was ever there..
This list is a sign post of just what is happening in places where the sisters are looking. The sisters could have followed me around for the past 40 years and would never have closed down anything!
Hey! I believe we all should do whatever makes us the happiest. But if you plan ahead on losing tranny fluid, powersteering fluid and motor oil in my park... you have no business there! Like the sisters that get to vote up or down.. I'd vote like they do...from now on you walk!
I have been offroad in Canada, Montanna, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. Not to mention other smaller treks. Never have I needed to carry all that stuff.
