    Flat AGM's

    I have a REALLY old charger of my Dad's that is the dumb charger. You put it on a battery and it will charge it, does not do any checks just sends juice. This will work to get a battery to start charging if it is REALLY dead. Then you can finish off with a better charger that will top up and...

    Wild camping: In the wrong place at the wrong time

    This is what I was taught growing up by my father ex military with a transport battalion. ALWAYS think about an escape route. Has helped me as much with people troubles as with weather. Getting a couple feet of snow overnight and being able to drive straight out is easier then backing up...

    WTB - Hardened (bear-resistant) all-terrain camper

    I was hoping that this thread was actually going to be reasonable but seeing your last two comments I am beginning to think that this may be either a troll posting to pass the time or it is someone that's gone off the deep end with worry and will never leave their room for fear of coming face...

    WTB - Hardened (bear-resistant) all-terrain camper

    You've already gotten some good responses but I want to toss in my two cents worth here. I've lived in Canada all my life and I've lived outdoors for large majority of it. I have hiked in the mountains, rafted, kayaked, cycled, camped and just put anything else you can think of in the outdoors...

    Metal frame or 3/4" plywood box?

    My opinion is that you are taking away material at the point that it is needed the most - the corners. Even with covering it you are still weakening the joints. Unless you went with a thicker board inside to distribute the load further away from the edge I wouldn't. Yes it would look nicer...

    True 4-season truck camper/travel trailer?

    You've already gotten some really good advice but let me toss in what I experienced. I camped in some of the temperatures that you're talking about minus 30 - 40 Celsius regularly and I did not have any problem with the units that I had (class C, Truck camper and now a van). I did this by...

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    I had a 1992 9'6" NL I bought back in the 2000's. It had some issues when I got it but nothing like yours. The one thing that I STRONGLY recommend is pull the windows and all the vents, clean, clean and clean and reseal really well when installing. Also clean the tracks on the windows so...

    Winnebago EKKO

    A word of warning. Before my current vehicle I had a class C which was a lot like the EKKO. I LOVED all the features. It was like a second home with EVERYTHING, no roughing it there. The issue was the width. First trip out on a paved road I head a weird sound. As I was trying to figure...

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    SO many people want to build a van, but for some reason, they forget about a couple of necessary items, like water and a toilet. In this video, I cover off what I have done to make my van more like home.

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    My Dad had a VW van that got over 100 miles per gallon. He would load it up, fill up with fuel and head out. When it broke down he would get people to tow him home. May take four or five people to get him home, including me towing him the last 60 miles but he would get it to the garage and...
