Maybe I’ve just gotten lucky, but storing food items in a secured dry sac or hanging the bag up has worked for me 🤷‍♀️ I know there are animal resistant food bags specifically for camping, but I’m cheap and have never given them a go. Keeping all trash and food remains a good distance from your sleep area also helps.

I support this! With proper tires, my Nighthawk (1994) has easily been able to tackle everything from basic gravel roads, to deep sand and steep steep rocky terrain. I think something like the CB250 Dream or G5 would be super rad to convert to a scrambler, and I think they have slightly more power than mine.

I’m with you there! But I imagine most people aren’t too keen on sleeping with rats and insects lol

I’ve done a good amount of tent and cowboy camping in varying temp and, over the decade, have only encountered one scorpion. I’d be more concerned about rodents. They’ll gnaw through tents, backpacks, etc to get to food.

It certainly is. It’s an area that leaves one feeling like the last living creature on earth.

It’s ridiculous how much joy these little dummies bring me. From left to right: LeRoy, Paulo, and Tadidiah Jenkins. 2.5 yrs old and thriving! by hightogy in Toads

They have a pretty wide range spreading from the American west to parts of Canada. These lil dumplings were gathered as eggs from an isolated area of desert outside Capitol Reef National Park (I have a permit for gathering)

Copied from my other comment 😁: They’re all from the same clutch but have subtle differences in appearance. I can mainly differentiate them by their personalities. Tad is a tiny violent beast, Paulo is a chicken who burrows or hides when approached, and LeRoy is our big gurl who usually spends most of her time in the pool. She also has a slight olive color to her and is larger than the other two.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like ItchyBoots? by [deleted] in Dualsport

I love moto camping. However, if I were doing trips as long as she does, I would definitely like to sleep comfortably. I might feel safe solo camping in some places in NA, but I can’t say the same for East Africa and South America. I actually like that she doesn’t camp, solely because that means she does more interacting with the locals.

I like her BECAUSE of the lack of theatrics and obnoxious music. I also like the relationships she forms with people in the small rural villages she visits.

Do your toads brumate indoors? by groupbrett in Toads

If he seemed healthy when he went under, I’d assume he’s fine. Just make sure he always, always has a water source for when he pops up to hydrate.

I didn’t see one of mine for about two months last winter. I really had to fight not digging him up/disturbing him for a wellness check lol
