In the last couple of posts (CDT Prep Part 1: Fuel Planning, CDT Prep Part 2: Communication) I talked about my planning for the Continental Divide Trail trip I am going to take in the very near future. While planning this trip, I found a video by Coyote Works on YouTube called “My Jeep JKU is on fire right now! – LIVE” and I began to think about what that would look like for me on the CDT. What struck me most was that he talked about how he only had what he could grab and throw out of the Jeep as it was on fire. Here are some things I have put into effect since seeing that video:
MISSION: Continental Divide Trail (CDT)
OBJECTIVES:
1. Complete the CDT
2. Execute a multi-week trip
3. Pictures along the trail (Testing out lack of DSLR camera knowledge)
4. Scenic views
5. Blog everyday to document the trip
6. Explore 23 National Forests and 2 National Parks
7. Evaluate what is useful and not & refine rig
OVERVIEW:
In the last post (CDT Prep Part 1: Fuel Planning) I talked a little about fuel planning and what I look at when embarking on a trip where towns may be few and far between. I’m going to take a minute to talk about another one of my main considerations, Communication.
