    Tonight- Guy SUV camping in Mojave Desert, pic and video to follow.



    Facebook link- https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=...33944770071345

    This guy just posted his set up and some details. Me- I love SUV camping in the desert and want to get a 4Runner and do this in remote areas of Nevada and Arizona. I just spoke to him on Messenger and he said he might post a video later on. He is on the California side, 15 miles in off of Dunn Road. He doesnt expect any flash floods tonight and said the moon is lighting up the whole area.

    What it look like he has- Overhead lantern, camp fire, tripod and he said he has 4G. He's using his Samgsung phone, headlamp, lanterns, no weapon (firearm), firewood and a 5° sleeping bag inside the Nissan Xterra.

    What I would add or bring- Ice cooler for drinks, dont know if he has one, atleast one firearm/pistol, I have a USB lantern and small kick stand USB work light. I am a flashlight geek, so atleast one of them (USB rechargable) and my Jackery 20k miliamp power bar to recharge them and/or run the laptop and lights. I would bring a laptop to watch a movie on DVD. As for a portable heater, I guess not. Add in an ipod and portable bluetooth speaker if I want to listen to some music. What I have done in the past is have a mini gas BBQ and grill some chicken. The salad was pre-made at home and grab a garlic bread roll. The individual salads can be in tupperware and just eat out of the bowls. The garlic bread can be in foil and just rolled on the grill before or after the chicken.

    The one thing here is having a firearm, I PM'd him and offered to help him or get him on path. I also have ammo to share. Out there, I would be rolling a Glock 19 for sure and maybe my shotgun.

    Druff- Maybe interview this guy on PFA for the next Mojave Desert segment?

    Anyways, a sweet overnight trip.

    Probably better to do this during a New Moon, so you can see the stars well. That's one advantage of being out in the middle of nowhere (as long as not too close to Vegas, since it's full of lights.)

    I would be a bit concerned about freaks in the area showing up to bother me, if I were alone.

    Someone mentioned this in the FB thread and feels confident that he is OK 15 miles in from Dunn Road. Still for me, I rather have Mr. 9mm with me just in case.

    More detailed location- Tamas Velikov western Mojave road... 15 miles from Dunn

    Drove up 395 last night. Full moonrise over Mono Lake was pretty cool. My phone pic sucked so I won’t post it. But here’s a better one:

    A friend just turned me onto this guy on YouTube- Coyote Works. In one video, his Jeep burned down in the desert. Fast forward to the 10:30 video mark.
