Fantastic view. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍274
Great video Ben, great to see your process!
I grew up in the Smith River SRA region and it’s a beautiful area with countless recreation opportunities. I immediately recognized the pull out spot on Rowdy Creek road near the end of this video, and you were correct about how it’s used by locals, people have been target shooting and having parties there for more than 50 years, lol.
Great video Ben! I’ve been mapping out routes for years but I definitely learned some tricks from you. I have to say though that your OTG routes have spoiled me because you do such a great job of pointing out campsites that I’ve been getting a bit lazy lately in terms of mapping out my own routes. Thanks for the video!
Great guide. I'm actually using My Maps right now to create an itinerary for my family overland trip across a few states. Possibly visiting northern Cali as well so this is PERFECT for me. Keep up the great videos!
Great video, extremely informative. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.🍻
I mainly use Campendium to find really good dispersed campsites. I also use a Garmin Tread, which has offline satellite maps and shows all the boundaries of public lands (BLM, NFS). Most of the time if you're on public land, you can camp there. This is the best solution that I have found for offline maps. There's no annoying subscriptions or login screens when you have no cell phone signal, and it won't become obsolete, like phone apps. It's something that you actually own.
I’d hardly say Gaia GPS or OnX make obsolete apps. In fact, because it’s software as opposed to a hardware unit, it’s much easier to update on a regular cadence and that’s what we’re seeing. This is the primary reason I use Gaia over something like a Garmin tablet.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this video. I joined your website a couple years ago. Actually think I'm heading to this area early fall from CT.
I usually will look at a general area I'm interested in on a good ol' fashioned paper map, specifically a Benchmark State Atlas, then look at specific spots in that area on Google satellite imagery and Gaia GPS.
good news: they're not so secluded anymore.
everyone knows now
