🏕 PRIMITIVE CAMPING
No facilities. Pack in, pack out.
You do not need a built-out overlanding rig. Ground tents, sleeping inside your vehicle, truck bed tents, or a roof top tent mounted on your vehicle all work.
Simple camp stoves, small grills, or pre-prepped meals are perfect 🍳.
If you don’t have something, get with others who are going and make a plan. We take care of each other as much as we can.
⛽ FUEL & PREP
Fuel up in Russellville.
Extra fuel (RotoPax or approved fuel cans) is encouraged. We can exit for fuel if needed, but it’s better to be prepared.
⚠️ CONDITIONS
We will monitor weather, flood stages, and fire risk. Routes, camp locations, or the event may change or be canceled due to conditions.
This is an official MSJ Offroad event and will count toward your 20th Anniversary Participation Drawing entry.
Membership must be active at the time of the drawing at Fall Run to be eligible to win.
⚠️ We may limit rig count depending on response.
If you plan to attend, mark Going so we can plan accordingly.
MSJ is going overlanding — we hope you join us on this epic adventure.
