There's a show on BBC about extreme survival where this huy shows different types of survival techniques in different environments. This week, he explained how to safely take an SUV and go off roading in the Australian Outback and then went to Arizona to follow the trails the Apache used when fighting US cavalry.
I really like the idea of going to southern Arizona with a bunch of friends and some well equipped SUV's for a week and exploring all that stuff and seeing all the real places.
Why is this here? Because I figure 4 wheeling is a red neck sport. Anybody ever do this? Go off-roading anywhere?

Do these count? If yes, then yes. Around here anyway. To go on vacation out there & take them too, would kick ass. :moonie:

Only for short trips. You could't carry enough water on one of those with all your other gear for more than a day or two. Plus, it's nice to have AC when your in a 110 degree dessert.
For, say a week, you'd need a Land Rover, Explorer, or something like that fitted with heavy duty shocks, etc.

Yes, that always looked cool on those travel shows.... when they are going through, say, the Amazon & the roads are crap. I watched one once, where a hole of mud practically the size of the car threatened to swallow it up.

Do you have to already have a Land Rover, or can anyone go? Rent one maybe? Or can we just go with you? :-D

That sounds pretty cool, Sluggo. Got a link for info?
Board vacation, Barch? Not a bad idea. Maybe a leave Saturday morning come home Sunday night deal. Wouldn't do off-roading though. Maybe a nice camping trip. Get everyone hanging out around a camp fire instead of a bar might be a lot of fun with this bunch of nuts. Just need to find some place fairly isolated with no "quiet time" curfew or park rangers coming by to see what your doing.

Far enough away from civilization that no one will hear Hey Ladi scream?

If I went to Maui, I'd rather get horses and ride along the beach and up the trails. Horseback riding rules as long as you get smart horses that listen and not those stupid trail horses that only know how to follow the horse in front of them.

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

MOST of us adhere to the "Tread Lightly" credo.

Tread lightly means don't drive where you are not permitted, don't drive like a maniac and tear up the ground , and stay on the trails, don't go making your own.
Fucking tree hugger.

yeah it must be real cool to drive off road, through the woods, insulated in your SUV. sitting on the leather seats, CD player blasting, air-conditioning running, really getting down with nature.
