50 miles off the road?

There are three main roads through and around Mojave. I spent a lot of time there in the old days and 50 miles is a stretch. Mojave is not much more than 50 miles by 50 miles total.

As Sammy said, pack more water than you think you will need, never travel solo if you can help it.

So, besides water, food, first aid, maps, etc.:

Tires. The biggest problems off road in Mojave is tire puncture. Go slow, you are not in a truck commercial! See if you can borrow a friends spare tire if you know anyone with a truck like yours.

Cheap walkie talkies. Great for chatting while off road going slow.

Tow ropes...bring one just in case.

Enjoy. I love the desert this time of year.
