My Top Cooking Equipment
I’ve been traveling on the road and cooking over campfires for a little over 4 years now. In that time, I have to say, I’ve learned a thing or two. For the bushcraft people out there, these may seem as…

Lone Rock Campground
Lone rock campground on Lake Powell is listed as a primitive campground. But primitive campgrounds don’t have running water in my book. Lone Rock does. Granted, even primitive campgrounds tend to have fire rings and solid, if unpaved, roads. Lone Rock does not.

How To Drive On Sand
We are not the types to seek out sandy trails when off-roading. Yet, there are vistas, campsites, and other gems only reachable through a patch troublesome sand. So, in the course of our wanderings, we have had our share of sandy situations and have learned a few tips and tricks when driving on sand.
Horseshoe Bend
You have seen Horseshoe Bend before. Whether it was some friend's vacations pictures, a slick travel influencer on Instagram, or a poster, the 1,000-foot sheer sandstone walls and symmetrically looping river of Horseshoe Bend is immediately recognizable. It's also conveniently accessible.
Forrest Gump Point

Muley Point
Muley Point is a mecca for boondockers, overlanders, and outdoor adventurers, hovering over the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Southern Utah.
Shiprock
Shiprock—Tsé Bitʼaʼí, "rock with wings" or "winged rock" to the Navajo people—rises a dramatic 1,583 feet above the desert floor of North-Western New Mexico.

Most manufacturers decorated their camper exteriors with brightly colored metal emblems featuring brand names and model types. The problem is, bright colors such as red are the first to fade. And, after a half century in the sun, it is time to repaint the decals.
