    Need a bit of help Re: Jeep Warranties

    Not new and dealer service centers are brutal in BC. It's a long list problems and even young family members working in that industry have a long list of complaints and deal with stress as a result of this greedy industry. And this doesn't take into account billing out of country for warranty...

    New Garmin inReach - inReach Messenger Plus

    Do not know if the satellite range of iphone 14 or 16 will increase in coming years, but the utility of a standalone device, one that doesn't get water damaged and a battery that hopefully in the upcoming model lasts far longer than a phone, whereas a great safety factor that's worth the price...

    Tarp Under Tent - Common Practice?

    Cool. Ha. Carry space blankets backpacking, motorcycle camping/traveling, kayaking, and even car camping. You can buy ones shaped like a large sleeping bag, I pulled that over my 0c sleeping bag one night on the Dempster that was far below freezing, and but for my nose was very toasty...

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    A Canadian adding his 2 bits. KO2's, had a few, excellent tire if the snow is just so, cold and compressible, then they're hard to beat. Wet, melting snow, or ice, or packed frozen roads; not so much. Several years ago did a self test, my vehicle with KO3's and hers with Hakkapelitte's (same...

    Toyota Losing it's Mojo?

    Close friends with 5th gen 4Runner and 3th gen taco, the Canadian made Tacoma seems to be in the shop for something every couple of months and their higher mileage, Japanese made, 4runner has performed flawlessly. Just an observation, I have owned several old Land Cruisers but for a 20, 50...

    That is a amazing trip again, and can't wait for your write up. Having canoed and aluminum skiffed parts of the lake, but only for a night or 2, can say you will have your part of GSL to yourself. And the fishing is great

    Motorbike Overlanding vs 4 Wheels...

    Quote: Sounds wonderful! Lifetime opportunity! Thrilling........ AGREED! I must guess that 4 wheels would be best. As a lifetime rider, have always found that it is only a small percentage of riders that are happy with long days riding, more so day after day. Have friends, neighbours, and...

    What are the better tent stakes for soft sand?

    As I camp beach side on the west coast of Vancouver Island as many days as possible each year, this is a concern also. I carry a sharp hatchet even backpacking to split long pieces of wood for stakes, or carve some branches, and have used 20-30 liter dry bags full of sand to ensure a stable...

    Create Georeference PDF files for Avenza's PDF Maps app

    Curious, do many people still use Avenza? What's new on converting maps? Any sharing platforms appear in the last few years? This post helped me when it was originally posted, I have ArcGIS for work and use that. Been collecting updated resource maps for BC and the Yukon, a number are not...

    Cabover vs. Long-Nose Platform

    I have had a gaggle over the years, once you're accustomed it is no problem. Far less of an issues with vehicles with a high seat height. I prefer it for my offroad vehicles, you know exactly where you right wheel in cases of passing on narrow tracks. It is not so good to be RHD in a low slung...

    Cabover vs. Long-Nose Platform

    Wow, haven't seen that model. Only recently have been looking at the Dyna, told recently they ride nice and some of the engine options are fantastic. For Canadian market, 15 years old, I've seen some hybrid models available, and I am not certain that would be ideal for a backroad camper. I do...

    Cabover vs. Long-Nose Platform

    Which side of the 49th parallel are you located? This 2006 is destined for the port of Vancouver, Canada. It's only recently become an option for a build I'd consider.

    Shiftpod; The obvious alternative

    Plus; Durability. During a night of strong winds ocean side, noticed buddy climbing out of his RTT at 3am. His XL Shiftpod had blown 200 yards into the bushes. It was scuffed but otherwise completely undamaged. It had been erected with anchors, but with the heavy rain the ground had softened...

    Is there a RTT that can handle extreme weather ?

    Heard back, they are in Dawson city, and are both long time professional photographers not very active on social media; I didn't get any pictures out of em [emoji35]. Told it was horrible, as their wine bag froze in the truck. Sure they were just fine, I know in their house they have 1500 sq ft...

    Is there a RTT that can handle extreme weather ?

    Been out with others in hardshell RTTs twice in those conditions, once in North Vancouver Island winds were gusting to 70 mph, and broke a shelter tent, with all its pegs and 4 lines tie down, loose and blew it a couple hundred meters into the bush. Friends on the exposed point and their James...

    Is there a RTT that can handle extreme weather ?

    Certainly get more weather ability from a ground tent for less money. Many compact 4 season extreme weather tents cost the same as an entry level rtt

    Is there a RTT that can handle extreme weather ?

    What is extreme? A friend is up in Tombstone territorial park in their James Baroud right now. - 47c according in Dawson City this morning. It's the Space model similar to the one sitting in my carport right now. They do have a diesel heater ducted into their tent. Sure I'll find out how there...
