I know going prepared is part of the rush. I say find a buddy. Or don't go.

It depends on how you define "wheeling." I have been wheeling all over the Colorado Rockies with far lesser vehicles than I have now. I didn't bite off too much or take any serious risks and never had any troubles. I had a blast exploring the beautiful trials there and found some great, hidden campsites we used for years. I always left my location(s) with someone competent to come get me and was always prepared to hike out and/or contact someone for help. There's risk in anything you do. I personally think it's riskier driving down a two-lane highway than the wheeling I've done alone. On a two-lane highway, you can do nothing to stop someone in a truck from crossing the center line and killing you instantly. I really don't see anything as risky as that in driving down moderate trails alone. Yet people have no problem driving down a two-lane highway. There's some risk wheeling alone, but you could also get struck by lightning or a meteor if you stay at home instead. It's always a risk/reward balance in whatever you do. Just be smart and prepared.

What I do is infinitely more comfortable. I stop and adjust my clothes when I want and smoke, change, drink, eat what I want when I want. Having good gear does make all the difference?that and not having to pretend like your rescuing the 1st Division at the Frozen Chosen.

Sounds like a normal training day in Bridgeport( brr!) and dont forget about not being able to sh*t for a week after eating the oh so good MRE Cheeze( mispelled on purpose because of legal E&O issues, in short there is no dairy products used in making the stuff)

MRE = Meals Refusing to Exit or Meals Rejected by Ethiopians.
