As per trails we embark on. I believe we should collaboratively create trail reviews for other members to possibly go on as well. lets start with simple needs.

- Location of trail.
- State whether 4x4 is required to do the trail.
- Difficulty rating Easy, Moderate, Hard (use your best judgement)
- If any items would possibly be needed. (depending on road conditions)
- Your personal overall view of this particular trail.
- POST PICTURES OF CONDITIONS TO WARN OTHERS if necessary.

REMEMBER IF YOU ARE GOING TO ISOLATED AREAS WITHOUT CELL PHONE SERVICE, HAVE RECOVERY TOOLS I.E. MAXTRACS, SHOVELS,& JACKS.
(if you get stuck)
- Always have a map of the area you are in.
- Carry a GPS watch
- Never wheel alone. at least one other vehicle with you.
- Carry 5 gallons of water per person.
- Pack plenty of food that won't go bad right away.
- Tell someone your plan. and if you don't get in contact with them at a certain time. have them contact authorities and let them know of your last known location. ( 8-10
digit grids help a lot)

I know there's quite a bit i missed but I will edit and add more to this post. suggestions are welcome. - Catfish
 
This is a good idea. I think in the beginning though, this can be done within the regional forums. Once we start getting a lot of these, we can definitely devote a whole forum to it.

I agree. either directly under the regional sections, or a subforum within. Then it'll be a good way for folks to get straight to the trails that are local to them. Is there a way that you can post to 2 separate forums at the same time? That would be a cool feature, that way if you post under the regional trails, it automatically echoes in this forum. Boom. 2 birds, 1 cup, er, stone. :D

I don’t think you can crosspost like that. What if, in the regional sections, there were thread prefixes like “trail review”, “upcoming trail ride”, “need help”, etc.

Gotcha. I don't think it's gonna happen this summer but if it does my family and couple friends may be planning a trip up the coast all the way to Seattle. It'll be a mix of camping and hotels. If it does, maybe plan a meet up. We shall see....
