    First of all, amazing videos of an amazing trail. Well done!
    Second, and an important question for me, when you traversed each section and the trail as a whole, and assuming you fueled at each possible fuel stop, did you ever have to any external fuel tanks (jerry cans, etc) or were there enough fuel stops? I don’t carry external gas, so I’m very curious.
    Keep up the great videos

    • @aMAYSingLife
      @aMAYSingLife  Рік тому +1

      I did have a 5 gal jerry can but since I run a diesel I get 23 avg mileage so I never needed it.. if you get quite a bit less than that, then I’d bring 5 gal specifically for around South Pass City.

    • @aMAYSingLife
      @aMAYSingLife  Рік тому

      I have a bear can that I put all food trash in and I place it away from the campsite. Non-food trash goes in a trash bag that for now I keep in the jeep.. I’m still working on a solution similar to a trasharoo but won’t affect my rear camera. Stay tuned on that. I have ideas.
