Anyone have any experience with "The Georgia Traverse?"

Carry a chain saw, wench, rops etc

In addition to the winch and recovery gear, I keep a 4’ crosscut saw, wedges and an axe in my Bronco. They came in handy several times as fallen trees are just part of life up here especially after a good rain.
 
If you use GPS maps on your phone or whatever, it really helps to (maybe also) have offline maps. Especially for trips like this. With a car, you have power, so not as much worry about batteries. With offline maps no need for cell signals. They may not have real-time traffic, or the latest restaurant locations, but should be regularly updated for roads, etc. And updated more than paper maps.
If you are down in the bottoms between ridge lines you may not get a GPS signal especially in the Spring-Fall with tree canopy cover. GPS is great until it doesn’t work. Same reason I carry a crosscut saw instead of a chainsaw.

A cross cut saw would pack smaller and lighter than an axe.....hmmmm.....
 
OnX is way better than google maps. You can research trails, download other folks routes that worked, great app for a few bucks a month.

Not done it all in one push, just never took that much time off. Usually 3 days, 2 nights for me. Fridge for the back was the best spend I ever made as well. Got an electric gen as well, runs the fridge and light set all night, recharges during the day.
