Orange County CAF's: up to no good

I'm interested.

 

I Just Woke Up

 

LOL!Getting your beauty sleep huh!J/K!

 

Hahaha ya, had a bunch of family over last nast. Lots of preparation and cleaning wooo

 

Azusa?

 

Is azusa still popular? Are they only open on weekends?

 

Weekends it's open. I like it cuz it's close and has everything you want

 

How crowded will it be tomorrow? We are going to Burts and might drive up. What's the entrance fee?

 

I know it's just a coincidence on the timing, but after today's body recovery over on the SCOR Facebook page, and last weekend's shenanigans with Brad and Madison, it's worth noting:

If you're going to leave pavement, make sure you're prepared for a worst-case scenario. Not just the basics like a jack and strap and a bottle of water, but food and water for days, and clothing appropriate for the time of year and location. Gilligan's Island may be a stupid teevee show, but a 3-hour trail run could turn into a week-long adventure with broken bones and brush hiding your location. Make sure you're ready! And at least as importantly, know the area and know your limits BEFORE you go!

If you aren't a part of SCOR (SoCal Offroad Recovery), I suggest checking them out. Today's posts highlight the importance of the group's existence.

 

Sorry to hear it. There are some things you should never do alone. Wheeling is one of them.

 

I disagree.

No one should wheel alone *WHO ISN'T PREPARED TO DEAL WITH THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO.*

My rolled thread got into that. I refer you there for details.

edit: You were talking to everyone else. I keep forgetting that part.

 

Disagree all you want, but until you have helped remove a body of some who was prepared, then we can discuss it. Doesn't matter what gear you have all it takes is bumping your head.

 

How to be "prepared" while off road: Take a wilderness first aid class or even just a regular first aid class.

Also, knowing how the hell your recovery equipment works and how to properly use it. Mostly focus on the first aid part. That shit can come in use anywhere.

 

I did today in the snow. Although i agree with you too an extent, wheeling alone if prepaired and smart will 9 out of 10 times get the job done.

 

i don't like them odds

 

Hey everyone, I'm going to Cleghorn tomorrow for a lil bit of off roading. If ya wanna meet up pm me and I'll give ya the details in the morn; planning on being on the trail by 1ish

 

Wise old men with lots of desert experience and well prepared

 

Wouldn't death actually be the "worst case scenario?"

 

If out solo, you should make sure someone knows, at least roughly, the area you will be out in and your anticipated return time. That way if you don't return they have an idea of where to look.

 

*Slow-painful death would be worst case. A quick one ain't so bad.
