Have snorkel, will fish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funny 'eh? When I was younger we used to mountain bike in the area every year and we camped at the local city campground. I really wanted to be out in "nature" a little more now so we passed up on that choice. The Little Slocan Lake site made up for it though.

I purchased a CVT Mt. Shasta this past winter and we've used it a half dozen times so far. For me, it's more like camping in a grown up tree fort and less like sleeping in an actual tent. I love the darn thing, the comforter and pillows stay in it and it just gets folded up. The Wife bought a...

That looks great, I love home built solutions, especially up here in Canada where everything we bring in from the States costs us an arm and a leg. Hit it with some of that Rockerguard you can buy at Canadian Tire and it will last a lifetime.

A couple final shots then it was time to pack up on Sunday, and head for home. We decided to hang out longer at the lake, then simply take the highways and byways home. By late Sunday afternoon we had made it back home, unpacked, cleaned up, and sat down to relax for the last few hours of the...

This area is like heaven on earth. We spent the better part of Saturday here and found it hard to depart Sunday morning. Our site was perfect, set back into the tress and shaded from the 30+*C temperatures we have been experiencing. It's hard to find the words to describe the beauty of this...

We had hoped to find a nice out of the way backwoods spot to camp in, but could not locate anything. With the mass of logging operations in the area, the roads were dusty, and dry and it was getting too hot to not try to find a spot by a lake. So, we dipped down out of the mountains into...

775km later and we are back home from our little 3 day trip exploring the back roads in the Boundary and dipping into the West Kootenays. We departed after work Thursday and made a quick on-highway dash to the Conkle Lake turnoff a couple hours from home. 25km of dirt roads later we reached...

All packed up and waiting for the work day to end. We are heading East into the Boundary and West Kootenay area for 3 days of adventure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love the pictures. It sure brings back memories of Beartooth Pass. I'd love to get back to Red Lodge sometime. Have friends there, a great little town. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool. Thanks for the insight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. I was just looking inside mine and it looks like the internal vent tube vents from the highest hump behind the handle and vents that area back towards the front and into the cap area. If I lay them on their back, then I do not think they can vent the same. This weekend will be a practice...

A quick mock up of it loaded. Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70F using Tapatalk

I've seen a few pictures of people transporting their Scepter MFC fuel cans laying in their back, instead of standing upright. Anyone have any issues with leaking or anything transporting them like this? I'd prefer to secure them like this, if it's safe to do so. Sent from my iPhone using...

I installed a rooftop cargo rack today. I needed somewhere to store fuel cans, water, the chainsaw, and some other stuff. Funds didn't really allow for a whole new roof rack or rear bumper setup, so for now I've sort of whipped this up. It's a $45 hitch mounted cargo rack. I've tweaked it a bit...

Thanks. I took it apart, cleaned it up, put it back together and the aux side burns way better now.

Yeh, im not sure we will have time but its in the back of my head. I've ridden Hwy 31A from Kaslo over the mountains and it is fantastic. So much to consider in the Kootenays. We will be driving the Old Cascade Highway from Christina Lake overvto Rossland and i am going to try to connnect some...

She pulled the trailer just fine, slow and easy. 4 adults, 2 dogs, and a trailer fully loaded with water and everything we would need for 3 days. I wouldnt pull it a long distance under those conditions, but an hour or so was ok. Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70F using Tapatalk

Not so much an adventure, more of an R&R weekend. Though the Wife and I did discuss our little 3 day adventure trip into the Boundary region and West Kootenays in two weeks. And the Mt. Shasta passed the rain test in flying colors, she kept us warm and dry while it poured rain all night Sunday...

Seems like as good a place as any to ask. This is my Kijiji online classified find. Cost me $25 and it looks like it was never used. It even came with the box. It is a model 421, made in Canada and I guess dates back to the late 60's perhaps. Anyways, I replaced the pump thingamajiggie, and...
