One of the keys to a successful off-road trip is preparation. I’ve written about that many times. Understandably, the focus is on preparing your vehicle and yourself for the journey. With this article I’d like to zero in on personal items and camping gear.

Bill Would Create the Johnson Valley National Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Area
Congressman Paul Cook (R-CA) has released draft legislation that would protect OHV access to Johnson Valley by creating a National Off Highway Recreation Area.
The Marine Corps has been seeking to expand the neighboring 29 Palms facility and acquire most of the OHV area for use in training exercises. The Environmental Impact Statement prepared by the Marines would have essentially eliminated OHV access to key areas of Johnson Valley.
Legislation Introduced to Ban E15 Ethanol and Improve the Renewable Fuel Standard
A SEMA-supported bill (HR 1462) has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to reform the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The current RFS mandates that an increasing amount of ethanol or other biofuels be blended into gasoline each year—levels that are now becoming unattainable in a free marketplace. Congress enacted the RFS in 2005 and then dramatically expanded the volume of renewables to be blended each year, from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2022.
Keep Recovery Gear Accessible
You’re in the middle of nowhere stuck in the sand. Your buddy waits patiently while you paw through your car looking for the recovery strap and gear needed to get you out of your bind.
“I know it’s in here somewhere!” you scream (along with a few choice words).
Your off-road adventure is becoming a disaster because you either didn’t pack a recovery strap, or you packed it so deeply it’ll take you a long time to find it.
AB 48: BANNED: Screwdrivers, Pliers, Dremel tools
The season of political posturing is reaching new lows. Consider this proposed California legislation (AB 48) that would ban the sale of tools because they MIGHT be used to alter the capacity of an ammo magazine. It is silly; but, considering Assemblyman Skinner is from the ultra-liberal Berkeley area, to him and his constituents, it is perfectly rational.
Text from AB 48, submitted by Skinner (D-Berkeley), proposes to ban the sale of any device that is capable of converting an ammunition feeding device into a large-capacity magazine.
