Before the Gravel Begins: Planning the Remote Route
Download offline regions in multiple apps, export critical GPX tracks, and print a simple topo sheet for the glovebox. Mark water sources, fuel stops, and bailout points. Test airplane mode before departure. Share your route with a trusted friend and invite them to follow along.
The Right Rig and the Right Gear
All-terrain tires, regularly inspected, are your handshake with the earth. Carry two spares, a plug kit, and an air compressor. Drop PSI on washboard to reduce vibration, then reinflate for pavement. Torque lug nuts daily on rough stretches. Share your tire-pressure sweet spots below.
The Right Rig and the Right Gear
Calculate range with a buffer for wind, sand, or climbs, and stash clean jerry cans securely. Pack at least four liters of water per person per day, more in heat. Choose calorie-dense snacks you actually like; morale rises when meals feel like small celebrations.
Safety and Connection When Far From Bars
Use a satellite messenger for scheduled check-ins and preset texts that conserve power. Enable tracking breadcrumbs and practice an SOS cancel workflow before you ever need it. Keep devices in insulated pouches, rotate charging, and bring a small solar panel for redundancy.
Safety and Connection When Far From Bars
Washboard hints at speed-induced chatter, while fresh ruts warn of recent moisture. Black clay becomes a skating rink after rain; turn around before sunk axles decide for you. Study forecasts, watch horizons, and invite others to share storm lessons in the comments.

Seasons, Terrain, and Timing
Mud demands patience and careful momentum; avoid wheelspin that digs anchors. Snow rewards delicate throttle and recovery boards. Sand loves flotation and reduced pressure. Practice each skill in safe spaces, and share your favorite drills with fellow readers.
