Crashing around Tucson Arizona in our (my partner and I) Econoline 350 Motorhome tho we've ran into an issue on the road with the engine failing to start after successful cranks. We've hit it with cold start, tried resetting the fuel pump, bypassing it, even smacking the fuel tank to clear the...

Not sure if I should put this is squatting, orwilderness survival....it seemed better here. Hey all, I am creating this thread to see what people's experiences have been with the recent push by the Forest Service and BLM to limit 'Residential camping'. As I have noticed recently, the FS and...

Hey, folks. I'm sure many of you are already acquainted with my current long-term project which is Slab City Library. The popular winter season is coming to an end, and the temperatures will begin to rise until they top out at as high as 130F. I have spent the better part of the last four years...

Hey everyone, I'm Desert Rose. A little about me: -I rigged out a Chevy G20 van to live out of last year. Went all the way from Kentucky to Arizona, stayed out west a couple of months. I was going to stay the winter and live out of my van, but the desert wasn't doing my eye condition any favors...

I'll explain my situation. I don't have vehicle. I don't have anyone to rely on for transportation. I have funds; enough to at least buy bus and train tickets to get near the Salton Sea and for necessary supplies to last awhile. I want to get to get to Slab City and set up before the fall...

This is so remarkable it doesn't look real! Looks like it belongs in the Wizard of Oz. There are two videos at the link so it's fer real :) At a couple other sites it lists this as totally private, but this and another that sometimes the owner will take some tourists out there. I'd love to...

The Black Rock Desert is a flat expanse of dry land completely devoid of vegetation. Seventy miles north/north east of Reno, the desert was once one of Nevada's largest lakes (before anybody called it Nevada, of course). The dust is bone dry, the length of the 'playa' is near fifty miles in one...

The more I think about it the more I am starting to think this will be a bad idea, but I just thought I would ask and see if anyone on here has bike toured through the southwest before. I've been thinking about bike touring the south in the colder months ahead, but am pretty unsure.

So everywhere i travel to, i always just throw my shit on the ground and sleep in the woods. Never really worried or bothered by wildlife. So early one morning inside of Portlands Lake yd, i was roling a cigarette on my pack. And to my surprise a fucking 6 foot rattle snake struck at me 3...
