Tread Lightly

TREAD PRINCIPLES

Travel Responsibly

on land by staying on designated roads, trails and area. Go over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails. Cross streams only at designated fords. when possible, avoid wet, muddy trails. On water, stay on designated waterways and launch your watercraft in designated areas.

Respect the Rights of Others

including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Leave gates as you found them. Yield right of way to those passing you or going uphill. On water, respect anglers, swimmers, skiers, boaters, divers and those on or near shore.

Educate Yourself

prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies. Plan for your trip, take recreation skills classes and know how to operate your equipment safely.

Avoid Sensitive Areas

on land such as meadows, lake shores, wetlands and streams. Always ride with caution any time water is present. Wet soils are more susceptible to damage. Riding along river and stream beds causes erosion and habitat destruction. Stay on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb historical, archeological or paleontological sites. On water, avoid operating your watercraft in shallow waters or near shorelines at high speeds.

Do Your Part

by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas.

The NWJEEPCAST Original 10 Essentials

0.5 Wheel with buddies

We can not understate the importance of wheeling with other people. It makes all of these other essentials easier. You can share tools and other emergency supplies if necessary. If something catastrophic happens with your rig or self, you have far greater options for survival with other rigs with you to assist.

Navigation (map and compass)

For wheelin, having a map and compass are good, especially if you run out of power. Maps in this case can be Topo like hiker/backpacker/mountaineers, but given the distance our rigs travel that could be many maps. For us it is more practical to have MUVM type maps or others similar to that; or guide books/trail reports. For the most part we have to stay on offroad trails or forest roads and maps with these are best for us. Given that we can usually carry sufficient power, using GPS and mapping software such as Gaia or Avenza which can also import Forest Service digital maps. And finally having radio equipment on board our rigs is very helpful in keeping a group of rigs navigating the same course of trails/roads. The minimum is a CB for short range (a mile or two) communication, but better yet is Ham (requires certification) or hand held dual band radios which can communicate5-50 or more miles.

Sun protection (sunglasses and sunscreen)

For wheelin, both sunglasses and sunscreen are needed. Additionally having some form of shade for our rigs is important when we are wheelin open air; Softop up, Safari/bikini on, or spider shade. These will protect us in our rigs from getting baked and burnt when we've had too much sun running topless.

Insulation (extra clothing)

For wheelin, we have much greater carry capacities than people on foot do. Bringing along rain gear, wind gear, jackets and heavy blankets is not much of an inconvenience for us, nor will it slow us down much if any.

Illumination (headlamp/flashlight)

For wheelin, having a headlamp/flashlight is also essential. I can count may times I've come off the trail at night due to breakdowns on the trail. And then of course there is actual night wheelin. In addition to having personal illumination, our rigs need sufficient lighting for the kind of night wheelin we intentionally or unintentionally do. At a minimum we need sufficient forward and side lighting to see safe distances to find the trail and avoid obstacles. The faster you intend to trail off road the greater the lighting requirements with desert racing at night requiring the most illumination, plus for dusty day racing having warning rear lights is essential as well. For rock crawlers having some rear lighting and under carriage rock lighting is also very useful. Vision X provides great off road illumination products for all conditions.

First-aid supplies

For wheelin, again having more carrying capacity we can afford to carry larger first aid kits than foot travelers can. At a minimum we should carry a good wilderness first aid kit and manual like the mountaineers do as we too can be quite far from professional medical help. See our show notes for wilderness first aid kits and manuals. Also having Ham radios with emergency repeaters programmed in is very useful in emergency conditions for contacting medical personnel when cell service is not available.

Fire (waterproof matches/lighter/candles)

For wheelin, at a minimum we need to carry at least this much fire capability with us. Depending on the season and fire restrictions we can bring wood with us as well and often do except mid summer; including winter snow wheelin.

Repair kit and tools

For wheelin, this is where we have the biggest enhancement to the 10 essentials. Not only do we have personal repair kits and tools including items such as Leatherman tools, but we minimally carry fluids, small tool kits and spare parts. For longer multi day trips we carry larger tool kits and more spare parts. See Episode 106 Tools for Trail Fixes (May 7, 2018), Episode 107 Trail Repair Box & Spare Parts (May 14, 2018) and Episode 108 Recovery Gear Deep Dive (May 21, 2018).

Nutrition (extra food)

For wheelin, again given our greater carrying capacity we can and should bring enough extra food for a day delay in the back country.

Hydration (extra water)

For wheelin, again given our greater carrying capacity we can and should bring a minimum of 1 gallon of water per person per day. If water is not available along the trail to be filtered and in hot conditions, more water per person is advised, like say 2 gallons extra per person for the trip.

Emergency shelter

For wheelin, this depends on what kind of rig we are in. If it is totally open air then for sure bring a tarp that can be fastened to the rig to ride out storms and/or nights. If the rig can be completely closed up, including softops/doors then the rig can serve as the primary shelter. It is always a good idea to have an personally portable emergency shelter such as a tube tent with you in case you have to hike out for help.

Titan Fuel Tank installation

This is a Titan Fuel Tank install on a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 6.7 Cummins dually.

Two straps mount the tank in the truck. The new tank came with new heavy duty straps and rubber pads.

You have to disconnect the fill and vent tubes. The new tank comes with a new vent tube but you reuse the full tube.

As you lower the tank down you need to discount the feed and return fuel lines by pinching the end of each disconnect clip. After that you can slide the red clip on the wire connector and remove it as well.

With the old tank removed, it was time to install the new tank!

35 gallon stock tank, 60 gallon titan XXL tank

The new tank uses a heavy duty retaining ring with lock nuts instead of a lock ring that slides in a circle to lock on the factory tank by hitting it with a screw driver.

As we start to raise the tank up you can start to see how they made the tank flair out in different areas to match the shape of the frame and other components to get the maximum fuel capacity.

The tank spans from the rear diff all the way to the t case now. You can see the much heavier duty tank straps with the rubber pads.

It’s hard to even get the fuel tank in the photo. I had to lay my phone on the ground and take the photo.

Hoodies

Sat, 29 Sep 2018 19:00:00 +0000

Northwest Jeepcast Hoodies

We are re-opening another order for hoodies and, new added, quarter-zip sweaters. Order yours now. We have a pre-order window to get bulk pricing which is until December 16th, 2020. The hoodies will arrive right around the New Year.

Price:

Adult: $30 (a little more for 2XL+ sizes)

You can't beat these prices for quality hoodies. We are not making money off these hoodies and are passing the savings on to you.

Shipping is $11 for the first hoodie and $2 for each additional, so buy one for the whole family, or bulk your order up with your friends!!

Order:

Visit the Northwest Jeepcast apparel partner to place your hoodie order. You can make a payment with credit card or PayPal.

Quality:

I can't tell you how happy you will be with the quality of these hoodies. I was absolutely impressed with the material. Light weight, yet very warm, and so soft on the inside you'll think you're being hugged by a giant chinchilla. But don't just take my word for it, we've heard from so many listeners who love their hoodies. Jessica from California says:

"They’re so comfortable!!!!! I think it’s my new favorite sweatshirt!!!!"

Sizing:

I did find, and have heard from listeners, that they do run a little on the large side. So for example, I typically wear XL tshirts and such, but I like my hoodies to fit a little loose. So I ordered a 2XL, but that was way too big, and the XL fit exactly how I like my hoodies.

Colors:

We have a wide range of available colors. There are some really cool colors here!!
