I enjoy the fact that few people travel the back roads and trails and most areas require that you be self reliant and a good navigator. Wildlife is not abundant but is always there if you learn where to look. Nevada has the countrys' highest population of wild sheep and is a predator hunters paradise. Towns and services are few and far between
and as Fieldgrade has mentioned carry 2 spare tires and lots of water.

And to add...there is 80 plus percent public land. Everywhere I look, I consider mine. Until OnX tells me otherwise as happened chukar hunting yesterday...
