New to this. More info. Went off reading. About 15 to 20 miles, last 3 were completely off trail in the desert southwest. 105 degrees. Next morning woke up to flat front tires
Those were 6 year old Michelin"s that did just fine. Till they didn't. I'll keep as short as possible, 1 spare, 105 degrees, running at minimum on water. Also, all by myself. This was stupid, on many levels, I"m truly ashamed. By the time at tire shop lost a 3rd......... Sitting there. beautifull Desert canyon all to myself, 2 flats, 1 spare, no Air, no tire repair kit. I've never left the trails before, never had a problem. I was always well behaved. Until this time. Wayed out my options, did some research, so happy still had cell service. Found a non profit offroad recovery organization in the southern Nevada area called SNOOR. after was 13 hours later, truck safely at truck stop 30 miles from canyon. I can't thank these people enough. For what they saved me. They are a nonprofit, which volunteers use their own resources, including gas, to rescue a old dummy like me. Pic of canyon attached " big horn looking down on me saying, I've seen some things but........
