What kind of vehicle are you driving? If you're don't know any safe BLM spots and you're not a fudd who sets the fucking desert on fire (yes I passed them a few weeks back and called BLM fire) shoot me a message and I can point you to a decent BLM shooting spot.
Supposedly rare fish at amargosa springs I believe the name is.

My buddy I'm staying with has a new crew cab Tacoma and he's outfitted it for overlanding (lift, tires, 4WD, CVT tent, ample lighting, Dometico fridge/freezer, additional batteries, HAM/CB, water/fuel storage, etc). Makes my 4Runner with just ditch lights here at home look a bit like a chump.
We aren't fudds, in fact we were planning on doing some night shooting honestly before my NODs got delayed again and he lost his PVS-14 on a work trip (he may be a fucktard in this instance... sorry if you read this buddy
). He found a spot not far from his house but I'm always open to more suggestions.
As of right now, my plan is loose and subject to change because of COVID restrictions.
I'd like to get in and get set up on day 1 (plane lands around lunch, go on a Walmart/REI run for the stuff I either haven't been able to get or can't fly with, like butane canisters for my stove) and take the obligatory photo in front of the sign on the strip (I have one from 2004 I'd like to compare it to, lol). Day 2, I'd like to check out the Atomic Testing Museum if it's still open on the next day, followed by some afternoon/evening shooting at his usual spot.
I think the plan after that is Valley of Fire, Grand Canyon for 2 nights, Hoover Dam on the way home, maybe some more shooting/hiking locally afterward, and that will about wrap up my time there... subsequent trips can always be planned (further in the future and better thought out) now that lodging is free
