Headed to Gupton to pickup a JLUR in the next few weeks. I'm trying to map out a trip back hitting some light trails (nothing too crazy) and working my way through the Banner Elk/Boone area and over to Mt. Airy and then back home. A few questions - I haven't done a lot of off-roading in awhile, and even then it was with XJ's and Toyota pickups which weren't $40k. We had tow ropes, and just basic equipment, nothing crazy.
So, here are my questions -
1. Trails that would be pretty easy/doable and maybe have some hiking off them between Nashville, eastern TN and western NC. I'm going to take my time coming back so, I can go a bit out of the way.
2. Any recovery gear that I could either buy there or bring with me, probably buy there since I'll be flying one-way probably with a carry-on bookbag.
3. Any other tips on routes to stay off Interstates that have some good trials, bbq, anything else.
4. General recommended recovery gear if I'm out alone. In my JK now, I have basic tools, tow rope, jumper cables, tools, the basics, but I haven't been off roading in it because of it's age.
