2018 Nor Cal Wheeling, Camping and BS

A lot of it is probably lack of funding. Updating a website takes time and $$ to pay a guy to do it.

Also when they have to go do rescues it costs them more than $5000. And we all know stupid people go out into the wilderness unprepared.

I wish CA had S&R insurance like CO. Years ago when I lived in CO you would buy a ~$10-20 insurance for they year and I'm sure the net result is that the S&R funding was better.

Agreed, I used to camp on side of road on the way to Yosemite on some dirt pull out and people leave all kinds of trash there. WTF !?!

 

I will when I get home on the laptop.

 

Seems all of the info online isn’t correct , I also saw eagle lakes was closed but we just there so who knows wish there was a good site to get real info vs calling around

 

The phone numbers have been posted.
























Just make a simple phone call.
Good grief.

 

There is S&R insurance. My work offers it free as a benefit to myself and anybody I live with. I think they pay $40 a year if I remember correctly.

 

Molesting wildlife? I thought that happens in Alabama! Asking for a friend...from Alabama.

 

American Alpine Club Membership comes with a bunch of SAR insurance.

You can also get Reach medivac insurance/membership.

If you go in the water a lot you can get DAN (Diver's Alert Network...it insures more than just dive related injuries like Decompression sickness or illness) insurance.

 

Hmm I'll look around. The closest I have seen is $150.

And I just rediscovered the CO card is $3 or $12 for 5 years!! UT and NH also have them now too I believe. You can also buy a SPOT but then you still need to pay a small fee for insurance on top of your $100 service fee.

 

I’ve got medivac insurance for my family. It’s actually really cheap and I recommend to anyone that likes to travel to remote locations to play like the majority of us do.

 

Not like mr.hands I hope? Didn't work out to good for the guy...

 

Thanks , J added to main page

added link to Fire Permits as well

 

So, is anyone doing any wheeling on Saturday? Plans have changed and I am now looking at some outdoor recreation.

 

Feb 1st is usually the start.

 

Where are you planning on going?

 

No plan at this moment. Figure it out tomorrow, I guess.

 

I may be down to do something Sunday depending on how I feel after Saturday night

 

Where have I heard that one before? Why not wheel Saturday BEFORE this takes place so as not to worry about Sunday.

 

I wanted to go out wheeling this weekend, but forgot I had to go to Irvine tomorrow

 

Since REACH got bought by AMGH, and then bought CALSTAR, and AMR if you buy the membership you get covered by EVERYONE ( just about, still not PHI or AirMethHeads ).
It's like $50/yr for a family and covers any costs incurred in medevac...
No I don't get paid to say this...

 

cali fishing lic. necessary? are they strict about it if at loon lake or shasta etc?
