Going to Death Valley!

So excited to be leaving for death valley tomorrow morning!! I will definitly be taking the camera and posting the trip in pics up here!

Has anyone been there and can suggest some nice trails (DC LB Sport, Stock friendly?)

Also what are some things that we MUST have out on the trails, for just in case emergencies. Not taking on any super off camber trails yet, but if there are some things that I might forget and should bring shout it out.

hopefully you aren't heading out without another truck...

someone recently went on an adventure through Death Valley lone vehicle and unfortunately they found him dead out there...

Key items:
1. CB radio and/or Ham radio
2. Shovel
3. 5 gallon jug of potable water
4. 10 to 15 gallons of spare gas
5. Sleeping bag
6. Dry/canned foods (non perishable)
7. Signal flares
8. Tow strap
9. Firearm (random run-ins with meth cookers and territorial bulls)
10. Flashlights and/or lanterns
11. 2 spare tires

Have fun. It's beautiful out there. Cold as heck at night though.

 

^ shit son meth cookers and bulls...to rich for my blood

but i would love to go down there sounds like alot of fun!

 

yah but its a rush... hahaha

on one adventure, we got out of the trucks and hiked up to a natural spring... as we pushed through some high grass, we inadvertently crossed paths with a bull and a couple cows... that was the most intense 10 mins of walking backwards with our arms up in the air to keep that sucker from charging...

we almost pissed our pants... hahahah

 

shit man thats sounds like a hell of an adventure! maybe i can get some guys here from az to do a trip next winter! summers probably out of the question with the intense heat isnt it?

 

late summer gets really hot... late spring right after the rains is a good time...

late fall and winter get a bit too cold and windy at night...

maybe we can get the AZ and CA wheelers together for a Mojave Desert run from Barstow to Vegas...

 

i could see that being a lot of fun! that would definetly be a hell of a thing to plan lol ill leave it to you

 

I like this. Alot.

 

imagine getting close to 30-40 trucks out there..oh the insanity it would cause!

 

I just got back...

Killer New Years trip to Death Valley... here are some highlights on the way home today leaving the valley via Warm Springs then Mengel Pass... very cool trip almost as though you get your own private Death Valley... I will be back soon!

the trails we doing are, titus canyon, and the racetrack, and some of the short, level 2 connecting trails.
