Hey Gavrick, I’ve been working on a custom off‑road bike and need a solid map of the best trails—care to give me your survivalist take?

Sure thing. Start by picking a region and then scope the terrain—look for ridgelines that stay dry, and valleys that keep the ride fast. Get a topographic map, preferably one with contour lines and water crossings marked, and cross‑reference it with a satellite image to spot any recent changes. The best trails are those that keep a good gradient, avoid loose scree, and have some natural cover in case of rain. Download a few of those maps from a local ranger office or a trusted outdoor site, print them out and mark the passes you’ll use. Stick to the marked paths most of the time; wandering off will get you stuck in mud or a sinkhole. And remember: a good trail plan is half the ride, the other half is a sturdy bike and a pack with enough water. If you need a spot list, I’ll point you to the trailheads that offer good campsites and reliable water sources.
