Anyone have any experience with "The Georgia Traverse?"

And I carry a Ryobi electric chainsaw with me. That and my winch take care of downed trees in short order.

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.

OK, I'll look into it.

Fridge for the back was the best spend I ever made as well.

I'm looking really hard at that, too. But then the dog has to ride in the back with the girls and she's as big as they are. I know that seat's made for three, but...

Saw gets pinched, then what?

I assume it's possible but, how would one pinch a cross cut saw? Cut from the tense side and wedge as needed.

That’s why you use wedges and an axe same as for a chainsaw. Knowing how to read binds and using the right cuts prevents saws getting pinched.

A cross cut saw would pack smaller and lighter than an axe.....hmmmm.....

A small axe, a one-man saw with a screw-on auxiliary/assist handle and a couple of wedges would not take up much space.

Cool route, great intel. Cycled TNGA years ago, uses many of the same gravel roads.

That's crazy. I can't imagine. I used to race mountain bikes back when I was much younger and smaller but the whole "bikepacking" thing is crazy to me. Good for you!

In on an interesting thread...
I keep a year round camper near the foot of blood mountain.
I'm up there quite a bit in the last half of summer into bear season. But I roll a F250 on the FS roads, so i'm sure i'm not getting where you guys in the jeeps, go...

Beautiful woods...

P.S.-
I've used onyx and BCN for years and i've never had a failure to pick up a signal in the mtns., even in deep wooded wilderness with no cell signal.
I think the cell phone apps are way more reliable than handheld standalone units...

I really want to do this with my kids one day but in a pretty stock gx460. Anything crazy technical?

You know my Jeep. I likely wouldn't try this without significant mods, including skid plates...
