63 is the new 50, right?

When people start talking about age I always think about Charlie Harper (Sheen) in Two and a Half Men when he said; "You're only as old as the women you feel, and right now I'm feeling about 25".

What did ^ just write?
Too many people do not know this... easier and safer to back up a steep hill than down.
Not really driving, but if you break and spill fluid on a trail scoop up the soiled dirt and put it in a trashbag. I see a lot of oil on the trail, it is part of picking up your trash.
When driving a manual, avoid hitting the clutch. Bypass the clutch safety switch so when it stalls while climbing you can start it without hitting the clutch. Hitting the clutch with a stalled engine will cause you to roll off the line or at worst roll uncontrollably down the hill due to no power brakes or steering, then you gotta play three pedals with two feet to get going again. Only hit the clutch when climbing when you start getting axle hop and stop moving which is normally when you break a U-joint or an axle.

How about just not throwing your trash (beer cans) out along the trail,

I have collected lots of other people's trash over the years. One group left their camp and all their trash at Truckhaven. I chased them down and told them they must have forgot to take it. They went back and picked it up. On the way out we spent 20 minutes bagging up beer cans and bottles another group left scattered around the fire ring.
Still have a couple of wedding coozies from "Jesus and Mercedes'" I found on empty Modello bottles during a TDS event.
I'm not for confronting other groups on the trail, but littering is something the Dude can't abide. Trash gets areas closed to the public. It infuriates me. It's so disrespectful of nature. Many moons ago, I found several beer bottles in a creek on a very remote backpacking trail. What kind of asshole packs beer in bottles 25 miles a wilderness area to throw them into a stream?? I couldn't pack them out, but I waded out to retrieve, then buried them.
Half the reason I built my rig is because it could go where most people couldn't. With the explosion in popularity of side-by-sides, anyone with the money can get out there. They tear up the trails, have no thought to etiquette, and don't appreciate the beauty of remote places.

I'm an OG of Truckhaven Hills area. I was camping there since I was a baby. My Dad taught me how to drive in the buggy there when I was eight or nine. When I used to attend TDS events, I would walk around the ditches at night watching the revelry and tossing trash into the beds of the closest trucks. Nobody ever said ****, and sometimes groups of drunks would step up and help.
