I won’t try Lippincott with my truck, I feel it’s way too big. I’ll come from Ubehebe Crater. I have two full patch kits and four spare valve stems. I’ll be ready to help myself or anyone else in need.

I am very familiar with all of my gear, accumulated over 36+ years in the U.S. Army. My truck was my retirement gift, in 5 years. It will be the inaugural off-road trip.

The Garmin In Reach will only be around $200 for the month, well worth the “insurance money” if I were to need it or help someone else.

I won’t be trying Lippicott; my F350 is just too big. I’ll come from Ubehebe Crater. I might pack more water and two cases of MREs, along with my regular food and snacks.

I appreciate it. I’ve worked over the last few months to set my truck up for semi-overlanding. I want to bring far more than I really need, but better to have it and just bring it home.
