If you are serious about a winch, you might consider a convertible winch in a cradle which fits into a 2 inch receiver. With the appropriate HD wiring, connectors and frame mounted hitch/receivers, it can be easily used on both the front and rear of your vehicle. If you bury your 2WD...

On our last build, we purpose ordered a non-freezer option in a NovaKool upright. (I realize this is mostly a discussion about the more efficient chest fridges but hopefully some of these thoughts are relevant) We had a couple of reasons for the non-freezer decision. We had the same...

Thanks Adam88, I missed the "more pictures portal". Interesting rig all around, if nothing else, it would sure turn heads........

Ya, I noticed that as well. Three pictures of the tail light protectors makes one wonder about the inners.... I image a "gut job" on the box would involve a cutting torch, several strong friends and probably a fork lift......

Like 2.ooohhh I have run these panels for the last decade with nary a complaint. Like others, I do a fair bit of bush crashing and I really like the fact that the panels have virtually no profile above the roof surface, no attachment holes into the top of the camper and that they conform...

Great report, thanks for posting it. Glad you saw the Floral Muskox in YK, it was much more in bloom when we were there after you. So, really, you didn't get totally Mo skunked!

I was reading your posts this spring/early summer. Looks like lots of folks were playing the daily "Ferry Lottery" for a while there as the river, the ice and the debris decided what each day was going look like. But I bet it made the trip even more fun! PS: The Muskox are really...

Too bad. The sign was very new so you just must have missed it.......

Wow, business must have been good!!! :giggle: Closest I got to one of those diamonds was in the Territorial Museum on this last trip! Yes, the old world is shrinking indeed. You probably know this, but some of those Diamond mines are starting to near the end of their productive/profitable...

Bill I spent lots of time working in Rae-Edzo when I lived in Yellowknife but never got into the the communities north of the north arm. Yes, I was very impressed with Whati just as a result of looking around and chatting with a few folks. Bechecho hasn't changed much though, other than the...

Continued from Part 1 - Paddling Overlanding - Part 2 (the header is kind of an insult to real overlanders as this is a description of a new 450 million dollar road, albeit gravel, that you could shoot pool on if you were good....) The new road is dubbed NWT highway 9 and named the "Tlicho...

NB: I hit the EP Photo cap with this Post. So I will send this first (the "paddling" Part and then send the "Overlanding" as Part 2) If that makes any sense at all...... We are just back from a couple of months of exploring the NWT by both kayak and with our truck and camper. I thought...

Yes, they have things going very nicely in their operation and the CAD will be a big help to the likes of me. I was born and raised in Alberta and was a bit hurt by your comment but I am fine now!! (it does appears that I don't seem to live there any more!!) :giggle: Yesterday, we came down...

Just back from two months in the NWT, including a 4+ week paddling trip in the SE Arm of Great Slave Lake (Ft. Resolution to Lutsel K'e and back). We saw a considerable numbers of Muskox, including both lone bulls and maternal mixed herds with several nursing newly born. Shot with a waterproof...

We stopped in to see Andrea and Dallas at Pronghorn EV in June on our way up to the NWT. We were very impressed with all aspects of their operation and as well, they are just super nice folks. Probably saw your rig on the floor in their shop.

"Don't read too much into the Crown Royal bag. It's for my car wash change." PC06 Having been a Canadian cop for nearly 30 years, how many times do you think I have heard that very same line??? :giggle: :giggle:

1 US gallon equals 3.78 liters. Today, $1 USD gets you $1.28 CD. So, if you round off L/USG to 3.75 and the exchange rate to ball park 25% more for your dollar over ours, basic high school math (the only kind I know..) should take care of it and get you pretty close. For a long time, gas in...

We use a GSI folding silicone filter holder/(only with Melita bamboo filters) in the camper, MSR Dragonfly/MSR single cup reusable "Mugmates" when backpacking/paddling. We drink a local Kootenays grind when around our general area and usually Starbucks Fivebucks brand Pikes Place from big box...

And, after a hard day of wandering around the RCMP training/heritage site in Regina, when you are thirsty and have the munchies, just East on Dewdney Ave is Bushwakkers in the old warehouse district. It is a highly acclaimed and much awarded Saskatchewan pioneer Brewpub. Superb beer and food...
