Chad Putnam here. I LOVE getting out into the backcountry for adventure & exploration as much as I can. Whether it's a one day exploration, an overnight car camping trip, or multi-day Overland adventure, I'll take it and I'll take you with me! I do it all from the cockpit of my 2004 GX470, lovingly called, "Soccer Mom."
I live in Redding, CA, which is a gateway to Far Northern California, giving me quick access to 7 different National Forests (Plumas, Lassen, Shasta-Trinity, Modoc, Klamath, Six Rivers, and Mendocino) plus vasts amounts of BLM land to the East.
I've been dispersed camping since I was a boy and I've been off-roading since 1995. I've learned a few things along the way and I'm happy to share them with you.
My goal is to post a FEATURE length adventure every two weeks or so with supplemental videos in between. Let's do this!
Adventure On!
