2010 Oregon/Washington 4wheel and camp: TSF

1. Responsible, but not overly experienced. I hunt every year, and do go offroad, but nothing extreme.
2. I would say intermediate. I have a DCLB with sliders, but no other armor.
3. I actually grew up in that area, but my trail runs were on a dirt bike (20 years ago!) I would be considered a "follower" I guess.
4. Happy to be a spotter. Will someone teach me?
5. Never had a need to use recovery gear.
6. Will be purchasing the Rugged Ridge kit, which may not be the best, but is affordable, and has more than I will likely need. If anybody has a "spare" high lift, I may be willing to purchase, or barter for.
7. I have been trained in CPR years ago, but have not renewed my certification.

What is the plan for this? Is the plan to have one campsite, if we can find/fit? I will be bringing a George Forman type propane grill, as well as a small generator, 10x10 canopy, chairs, and of course a cooler with some food stuff, and liquid refreshments for later.

If I do need additional, my brother lives about 5 miles away (and has tools and a shop, should any repairs be needed).

Anything I am missing?

1. I know what i am doing, i have been 4x4 and mud bogging with my family since i was little. I take it easy on trails as to not damage anything or leave trash since i want the trails to remain open.
2. I have no problem with any trails as long as i know i can do it with my truck. If i don't feel OK with doing that trail, i just wont.
3. I have no problem leading trail runs, i haven't been to TSF a lot but any other place wouldn't be a problem.
4. I can act as a spotter, and help in recovery. Been there done that...
5. Easy as pie.
6. Have some tow straps and one(soon) receiver shackle.
7. Have a first aid kit around somewhere..Was certified a few years ago but have not renewed yet.

For the campsite i think we may try to find one big one we can all fit, if not two next to each other would be just as good.

I'm pretty much just bringing camping supplies. tent, chairs, tarps, BEER, wood(If each person brings just a little bit we will have more then enough for the weekend), food, coolers, BEER, propane grill, charcoal grill, flashlights like crazy, MORE BEER, lantern, propane heater(if the woman comes) and of course my charming personality

 

I have an extra if you want to purchase it. You'll need to purchase the shackle though. I'll give you the main body for 5 bucks.

 

Thanks man, Tim is hooking me up with one he made. I'm sure if you remind guys on here or bring it up with you someone will snag it.

 

I say every man for himself for food/drinks unless there are people that want to offer their assistance in the department like pitching in on doing a group BBQ or something like that.
For camping... this is yet to be determined. I've been thinking about it and not quite sure how we should approach it. Obviously, we all want to be in proximity, but I dont think that any of the camping areas up there will take a reservation, its all first come first serve basis.
Sounds great with the brother having a shop near by if need be, that could come in handy.

 

that sounds about right, i dont mind heading out super early friday morning to try to find a place either big enough or two spots close to each other. It would help if this was a good idea to maybe have one extra person go with me up their to sit in the other site for a bit if we have to get two.

I'm also leaning towards not camping at browns camp since it cost's $10 a night, so maybe the other one just down the road.

 

yeah, I'll probably head up there on Thursday to find spots, then 'wheel all day friday and meet everyone when they finally make it up there.

 

Tim also said he will probably be home in Tillamook beforehand, so he can probably go and get campsites.

 

Big news!

Check things out here: http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/TSF/road_and_trail_rpt.shtml

 

not really big news lol, im pretty sure we will have two groups motor around. I mean we could try to have one big one for a bit and see what happens

 

I was more concerned with the permits - the park is regularly patrolled and I like being on good terms with the guys there, they deserve it.

 

eh i dont think it will really matter how many people we have no ones gonna care unless we are causing trouble which i doubt that

 

ya and if anything i'll just drive home and sleep in my nice warm bed

 

HAHA thats how to do it. Wheel, hang out, have fun, THEN OWN BED lol

 

fooo shooo

 

Do I hear someone bein a whiny little bitch about camping?

Well if were playin this game, then I call the spare bedroom out in his dad's shop!
