I was at Bass Pro Shop today looking at some camping gear and wondering how safe a small flameless propane heater insde the jeep is? (where I'm sleeping)....Or will a sleeping bag rated to 0 degrees be enough?
As for firewood...I cut back 8 very large bradford pear trees and have 4in logs cut to around 18 in each that the disposal guys won't take. There is ALOT back there. Only thing is I'm not sure the would has dried out enough to start a fire. I can load a hitch rack full of wood if guys think it will work.

You could drop the hitch and wood into the woods hidden off the trail and then we could pick it up on the way out.
I have a plastic container I'm going to put some wood in. If a few of us bring a little each it should be enough to have a decent fire for the 20 degree night.

CB Channel
Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet, but the Huntsville area guys will probably be running on channel 22 (nice center portion of the SWR curve).

Alright, I may not be able to use mine then. I have it tuned to capture the lower end of the band most efficiently since every ride I'd been on folks had used channel 4-8 from what I recalled. I think I might can pick up 19, but that'd be on the outer edge for me. I might drive around the outskirts and see if there's an ok place retune before Sat.

Might need to do a quick check on mine, but we will see.
I got the 4" coils on today, (replaced 3" coils) added about 1 3/4" to overall height
.
This weekend will be the test for them.
If i can find a hitch carrier for cheap, I will probably bring my wood on it and drop it at the start of the trail. If not, I'll load some in the back. OTHERS PLEASE BRING FIREWOOD AS WELL.
Looks like it is going to be a cold night, and the fire needs to be BIG
