In the mid-1800s, the enticement of free land and reports of “gold for the taking” brought a flood of humanity across the Great Plains to the West. It was an arduous 6-month journey that required crossing the vast and foreboding deserts of Nevada, and weary settlers were eager to find the easiest path to the California gold fields. Join us for an epic adventure as we retrace one of the most infamous of these routes, the Applegate-Lassen Trail— later known as The Death Trail. We’ll cross the Black Rock Desert and thread our way through High Rock Canyon, visiting natural hot springs, pioneer petroglyphs, and little-known sites such as Murder Rock. This will be an open-itinerary exploration of the region, setting camp at dusk as the pioneers did, moving on when the sun comes up after a hot cup of joe from the chuck wagon. For trip or Jeep questions, contact your Adventure Consultant, Shawn Gulling • [email protected] For registration questions, adding, or changing passengers, contact Jake Horne • [email protected] Trail Rating System Every Jamboree trail is rated from 1 (easiest) to 10 (the most difficult).

  • First Impressions: James Baroud Horizon Vision Roof Top Tent | Expedition Portal
    First Impressions: James Baroud Horizon Vision Roof Top Tent | Expedition Portal EXPEDITION PORTAL FIRST IMPRESSIONS: JAMES BAROUD HORIZON VISION ROOF TOP TENT Light and compact, the newest tent from James Baroud is an innovative approach to tent design. by Christophe Noel Published on December 2nd, 2014 ike many overlanders, there was a time a few years ago when the allure of a roof top tent spurred me to search for the perfect specimen, something that would be quick to set up, offer comfortable sleep, and hopefully endure years of hard use. I thought I found the perfect solution, but the setup proved arduous, the sleep quality so-so, and then there were the host of negative attributes I didn’t fully appreciate at the time of purchase. LMy chief complaint with most roof top tents was relative to weight and collapsed size. Even on my rather large Land Rover Discovery II, most tents sat atop my roof like a pallet of bricks. Even the lighter options tipped the scales at well over 100 pounds, and as an avid backpacker, I just couldn’t believe there wasn’t a lighter more compact alternative, one that could be used on a smaller vehicle if desired. Pundits of the then current offerings were quick to tell me it just wasn’t possible to create such a tent, something I knew couldn’t be true. Fortunately, James Baroud felt the same way. The new James Baroud Horizon Vision is the tent I had been looking for years ago. At 88 pounds it is easily 20 to even 50 pounds lighter than similar tents.

Hikes aren’t just reserved for sunny weekends and you’re not traveling because of #wanderlust. No, for JetHeads, adventure is so much more. Aching legs and sore feet be damned, you’re on a mission. A mission to trek farther, climb higher, surf longer and dig deeper. And after a weary, protein bar-filled day on the trail, we know how good a sunset dinner tastes. We’ve also heard the saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That’s why we obsessively engineer and meticulously design our products to boil faster, endure more and give you ultimate backcountry cooking versatility. So whether you’re cheffing up a full spread using our new skillet or rapidly boiling water for morning joe, trust the stove that’s field tested and approved by JetHeads everywhere. 2 3 FAST BOIL SYSTEMS 10 Flash 12 Flash Java Kit 14 Zip PRECISION COOKING SYSTEMS 18 MightyMo 20 MicroMo 22 MiniMo 24 SUMO ACCESSORIES 26 Cookware 28 JetGauge 29 Silicone Coffee Press 30 Hanging Kit & JetSet Utensil Kit 31 JetPower Fuel 32 Spare Cup PRODUCT COMPARISON CHART 34 All Our Stoves In One Spot 4 5 FAST.

  • 19840304 the Washington Post 4 March 1984
    HD Fearless Traveler Overlanding: The Bargain Of Adventure Travel By James T. Yenckel WC 2,022 words PD 4 March 1984 SN The Washington Post SC WP LA English CY (Copyright 1984) LP "Overlanding," a relatively new kind of organized travel that has been popular in Europe for the past two decades, is attracting growing numbers of Americans. Since participants camp instead of staying in hotels, its appeal is to bargain-hunting wanderers with a taste for adventure. The basic idea is that a small group of travelers under the leadership of an experienced guide explores a country (or continent) on a flexible itinerary, going by minibus, full-size coach or -- if the terrain is especially difficult -- by four-wheel-drive truck. The group pitches tents in parks along the way and cooks its own food to cut costs. TD Outfitters in the United States and abroad offer trips as exotic as a five-month London-to-South Africa safari or as close to home as a 12-day jaunt down the Atlantic or Pacific coast. It is one of the cheapest, and friendliest, ways to see large parts of North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Obviously, the traveler must be easy-going, since overlanders spend much of their time together. And, says Pete Fiske, 29, of Allentown, Pa., who has been a Trekamerica guide for four years, they should have stamina, endurance -- and a tolerance for bugs and rainy nights in a tent. Fiske's firm, headquartered in London, has been arranging overland excursions for 12 years in Europe (as Trek Europa) and in the United States, but until this year the trips had been sold primarily to Europeans and other nationalities.
