TRANSPORT TIPS: GAS & FUELS

CARRYING EXTRA FUEL FOR OVERLAND AND OFFROAD TRAVEL

When venturing beyond the reach of gas stations, carrying extra fuel becomes more than a convenience it’s a necessity. Whether you're traversing remote forest roads or tackling rugged desert trails, smart fuel management is key to a safe and successful trip. And don’t think that just because you are near fuel stations means you don’t need to bring extra fuel. Natural disasters (like thunderstorms that knock out power for the northwoods for a week) can put a damper on your plans, so think outside the box and consider what situations might call for extra fuel

FUELTRANSPORT& STORAGETIPS

Choosing the Right Containers

Always use DOT-approved fuel containers designed for transport. The most common options include metal jerry cans and highdensity plastic fuel packs (like Rotopax). These are engineered to resist puncture, seal vapors, and withstand off-road abuse¹.

Proper Mounting and Storage

Fuel should be securely mounted outside the cabin, preferably on a roof rack, swing-out tire carrier, or dedicated fuel mount. Never store fuel inside the passenger compartment due to fume and fire risk². Use ratchet straps or locking mounts to prevent shifting and leaks.

Fuel Quantity and Planning

Calculate your expected fuel consumption based on terrain, elevation, and vehicle load. Then add a buffer—usually 20–30% more than your estimate to account for surprises A rule of thumb is one extra gallon per 10 miles of backcountry travel without resupply³

¹ U S Department of Transportation regulations on portable fuel containers: https://www.phmsa.dot.gov

² National Park Service backcountry vehicle guidelines: https://wwwnps gov

³ Overland Journal, "Fuel Planning for Remote Travel," Volume 9, Issue 3.

Safety Tips

Don’t overfill your containers leave room for expansion

Check for leaks and tight caps at every stop

Keep fuel away from heat sources and campfires

Label your containers clearly and keep them upright

Transporting extra fuel adds range and peace of mind to your adventures, but it demands responsibility Pack smart, plan well, and always follow safety protocols

OPENING THE GATES

FULL-SIZE OHMV TRAIL ACCESS COMES TO LANGLADE COUNTY IN WISCONSIN

Langlade County, Wisconsin, renowned as the "County of Trails," is a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts. While the county offers extensive ATV/UTV, snowmobile, mountain bike, equestrian, sled dog, paddling and hiking trail systems, it will now also cater to full-sized Off-Highway Motor Vehicles (OHMVs) such as Jeeps, SUVs, and trucks. These vehicles provide unique opportunities for exploration and adventure across the county's beautiful and diverse terrains

Outdoor recreation is a significant contributor to Langlade County's economy The presence of extensive trail systems attracts visitors who spend on lodging, dining, fuel, and other services, supporting local businesses and generating employment opportunities. For instance, the Ice Age Trail, which passes through Langlade County, sees approximately 4.65 million users annually, contributing an incredible $431 million in economic output across the entire state of Wisconsin

The Northology Adventures community got a sneak peek of these trails by helping clean up from the ice storm and and contributing to their preservation and enhancement Participants of The Northology Adventures Midwest Women’s Offroad Weekend were able to see the effects of the hard work and dedication of the 4Lakes 4 Wheeler’s club’s vision and plans for the trails. Thanks to Langlade County Forestry Department for the special use permits to allow us to experience these trails by special permit!

OHMV

TRAIL ACCESS AND REGULATIONS

The official opening of Langlade County's OHMV trails for full-sized vehicles has been set for a date sometime after June 10, 2025 Riders are advised to stay updated through the Langlade County Forestry and Recreation Department's official channels for the latest information on trail openings

TRAIL CLEANUP AFTER THE APRIL ICE STORM

When a severe ice storm swept through northern Wisconsin on April 4, 2025, it left a path of destruction across Langlade County’s forests blocking access to miles of the new OHMV trail corridors with downed trees and heavy debris

In the spirit of stewardship and collaboration, four dedicated groups and some local volunteers stepped up to clean up and clear the trails:

4Lakes 4Wheelers

Wisconsin Coalition of Four Wheel Drives (WC4WD)

Wisconsin Overland Northology Adventures

The Midwest Women’s Off-road Weekend proved to be an empowering and inspiring event, highlighting the growing inclusivity within the off-road community. It provided a welcoming space for women to learn, share experiences, and hone their skills in a supportive atmosphere. The event featured a variety of workshops and guided trail rides, ensuring both novice and experienced drivers could find challenges and thrills to match their abilities.

Working together across multiple weekends in May, these volunteers cleared fallen timber, cut brush, and opened up access to vital trail segments Crews formed chainsaw teams each paired with 2–4 assistants to safely tackle the storm’s aftermath Their efforts laid the groundwork for Langlade County to move forward with issuing OHMV permits and planning for a mid-to-late June 2025 trail opening.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Without the grit and generosity of these volunteer crews, the launch of full-size OHMV trail access in Langlade County could have faced major delays Their work helped preserve momentum for a project that represents responsible recreation, economic development, and inclusive outdoor access

Trail users owe a huge thanks to every individual who hauled brush, ran saws, and gave up their weekends to make this possible Let’s honor their effort by respecting the trails, treading lightly, and giving back where we can

A MOTORIZED ECONOMIC ENGINE

The integration of full-sized OHMV trails promises to attract even more visitors eager to explore these scenic landscapes. This initiative not only boosts tourism but also emphasizes the importance of sustainable and responsible recreation, ensuring that Langlade County remains a beloved destination for generations to come We also see a benefit for local business as folks learn about the opportunities for OHMV here

PERMITS, DESIGNATIONS & TRAIL USE GUIDELINES

To operate an OHMV on designated trails, individuals must obtain an Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) permit issued by the Langlade County Forestry, Parks, and Recreation Department Permitted OHMVs include commercially designed and manufactured motor-driven devices that meet federal motor vehicle safety standards and are used off-road Examples encompass custom 4x4 Jeeps, SUVs, or trucks designed for off-road use with or without modifications that still allow for licensed highway use.

OHMV use is restricted to designated trails and routes as outlined in the Langlade County OHMV Trails Map Cross-country travel or use of OHMVs on roads or trails not posted as open is prohibited

To protect the county's natural resources, OHMV trails are designed with sustainable practices to minimize environmental impacts Operators are encouraged to tread lightly, especially during early-season conditions when trails may be wet, to assist in maintaining trail integrity.

For more information visit the Langlade County Forestry & Recreation website: Langlade County Forestry & Recreation.

PRESERVING ACCESS FOR ALL USER GROUPS

Maintaining and preserving access to OHMV trails is vital for ensuring that diverse user groups can enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities Langlade County offers. By supporting trail systems, the county promotes inclusivity, allowing individuals of varying interests and abilities to engage in outdoor activities This inclusivity not only enhances the quality of life for residents but also attracts a broader range of visitors, further bolstering the local economy. Please Tread Lightly! and remember to stay the trail Also consider joining the 4Lakes 4Wheelers 4x4 club!

THE CLUB HAS GROWN, FOSTERING FRIENDSHIPS AND PROVING RESILIENCE IN CHALLENGING TERRAINS.

Tech Overland 24-25 Wrap Up

As the year comes to a close, Tech Overland looks back on an unforgettable season filled with adventure, camaraderie, and countless learning experiences From event participation to rugged winter camping and plenty of stuck rigs, the 24-25 school year has been a defining year for our club.

We kicked things off with a member recruitment event at Michigan Tech’s K-Day, welcoming plenty of new faces Shortly after, we attended Northology’s KOAR 2024, immersing ourselves in the overlanding community, exchanging insights with experienced adventurers, and discovering new approaches to navigation and self-sufficient travel The event reinforced our passion for exploration and deepened our appreciation for the skills that make overlanding both challenging and rewarding in the Keweenaw.

Winter tested us in ways that only Michigan’s Upper Peninsula can. Braving snow-covered trails and frigid temperatures, Tech Overland members embarked on cold-weather camping expeditions that pushed our limits and refined our ability to operate in extreme conditions

Tech Overland has grown tremendously, expanding our knowledge, building lasting friendships, and proving that no terrain is too tough and no place is too remote to camp. Closing out the year on a high note, Tech Overland secured funding from our university for next year’s activities With financial support in place, we’re gearing up for bigger expeditions, new club equipment, and even more opportunities to push our limits and hone our skills.

See you on the trails!

KORC CLEANUP WRAP-UP

NORTHOLOGY & KOAR COMMUNITY SHOWS UP BIG FOR KORC CLEAN-UP

The 5th Annual KORC Keweenaw Clean-Up was a shining example of what happens when outdoor lovers unite for a cause This year, over 80 volunteers gathered in Copper Harbor many from the Northology and KOAR communities to roll up their sleeves and give back to the land we all love exploring and recreating in.

Together, participants removed more than 5,840 pounds of trash from trails, parks, beaches, woods, and roadsides across the Keweenaw. After the hard work was done, the community came together at the Donny Kilpela Memorial Park for a well-earned celebration: a community picnic and volunteer prize raffle.

KORC's cleanup effort wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of individuals, families, clubs, organizations, and businesses who donate time, equipment, food, drinks, and prizes It’s this kind of community spirit that keeps the Keweenaw wild and wonderful and we are grateful to be a part of this!

“A huge thank you to everyone who showed up for this year’s Cleanup Campout for KORC—your time, energy, and dedication are what keep our local trails open and accessible for everyone.

While we’re proud to have been the title sponsor, we’re disappointed we couldn’t be there in person due to being at Overland West. That said, seeing the community come together to clean, ride, and connect makes us incredibly proud to support this mission.

Events like this don’t just bring people together—they protect access to the places we love. Responsible recreation starts with taking care of the land, and it’s the volunteers who make that possible.

We're honored to support the work KORC and everyone committed to keeping the Keweenaw wild and open. Thank you for showing up and making a difference.“

-Redridge Industries

A huge thank-you goes out to our campout sponsors Redridge Industries, Northstar Overland, and Flat Peak Level Tent for helping us host a relaxing and fun basecamp for our volunteers. Special thanks also to Trails End Campground for graciously letting us gather and camp on-site.

Thank you to our community and volunteers for showing up, pitching in, and making a difference! Let’s keep the Keweenaw clean!

PROTECTING THE MAIN MOTORIZED TRAIL

Over the past four years KORC members have been instrumental in expanding public lands and protecting public access in the Keweenaw. Our latest Call to Action asks you to once again and nomination form to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund. These efforts have been incredibly effective in the past, let's keep it up!

The DNR has an opportunity to protect over 15 miles of a major outdoor recreation corridor in Keweenaw County. The main motorized trail corridor in Keweenaw County is the economic backbone of the outdoor recreation industry and tourism in Keweenaw and Houghton Counties. Verdant Timber (TRG) owns about 15 miles of the Main Motorized Trail from Mohawk to the Montreal Meadows. Verdant will not sell a trail easement but can sell the land at any time. State ownership would “lock in” public access, secure the at-risk trail, and provide opportunities for improvements that would benefit a variety of outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

Your memberships and contributions will help KORC bridge the funding gap and ensure these inholdings at the Keweenaw Tip are added to State public lands, and are protected forever KORC continues to expand public lands in Keweenaw County with community-centered conservation

KORC thanks Trail Karma, Gaia, Toyota, and Keweenaw Overland Adventure Retreat for connecting us with this great opportunity!

STAY THE TRAIL

PROTECTING ACCESS FOR FULL-SIZED OFF-ROADERS

Whether you’re wheeling a built-out Jeep, a trail-ready truck, or a stock SUV with a taste for the backcountry, one thing remains clear: responsible trail use is critical to keeping our public lands open For full-sized off-road vehicle users, the stakes are high misuse can lead to erosion, habitat destruction, and even permanent trail closures. That’s where the principle of Stay the Trail comes in

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Stay the Trail means sticking to designated roads and trails. Even a few tire tracks cutting a corner or bypassing a mud puddle can lead to lasting damage. Rogue tracks become permanent scars that invite vehicles to follow, which widens trails, damages vegetation, and accelerates erosion1

It’s also a legal matter: operating off a designated route on most public lands is considered illegal under federal and state law . 2

Knowing what Stay the Trail means and abiding by these principles ensures proper trail usage and that the trails will remain viable and open for all to use

TIPS FOR RESPONSIBLE OHMV TRAVEL

1.Know Before You Go. Use up-to-date maps and check with local land managers or ranger districts to confirm which trails are open to full-sized vehicles3

2.Avoid Trail Braiding. Stay in the existing tire tracks even if the trail is rough, rocky, or muddy. Creating a bypass is never the solution4

3 Respect Seasonal Closures Trails are often closed during spring thaw or after storms to prevent long-term damage Driving during these closures harms trails and jeopardizes future access5

4.Yield to Uphill Traffic & Non-Motorized Users Mountain bikers, horseback riders, and hikers also use many of the same trails. Be courteous and yield appropriately6

5. Pack Out What You Pack In. Don’t leave trash or broken gear behind Trail stewardship also means preserving the landscape for others to enjoy

6.Volunteer When You Can. Trail cleanup efforts, like those recently conducted in Wisconsin by WC4WD and Northology Adventures, are crucial to keeping routes open and safe7

WHY IT MATTERS

Public land access is not guaranteed. It must be earned and defended through responsible behavior. The more full-sized offroaders demonstrate respect for land, rules, and other users, the stronger our case for keeping OHMV routes open or even expanding them

Every time you stay the trail, you’re not just protecting your right to explore you’re protecting the experience for everyone else, too.
