RIP =(



Into the desert. Wednesday September 3rd



It's Tuesday night. Tomorrow I go out into the desert. It has taken over a month to get all the gear together. The preparation for this adventure took far longer than I had expected. I've never done this before, so I took my time reading books, studying the land, and researching gear. A few weeks of solitude in the deep desert, and then back to civilization, and back to training. 



Rejetting the carb. First time I've ever done it, so I was reading up on it a little online.



Green Slime in the tires.



Replacing the right side engine cover gasket.



The bike is finally ready to go.


RIP

i don't understand

what was he trying to do?
Why wouldn't you take gallons of water with you?

He read books, what books?

Anyone know what his goal was?

fingers 'n' teeth - i don't understand

You couldnt' take enough water for 2 days on a bike.  In hindsight he shouldn't have gone alone!!!!

Obviously not enough...


i dont think there is a single resource in the world that could fully prepare you for what he was doing...aside from bringing Les Stroud with you...
