Title says it all, I have read and re-read until I am pretty blue in the face but still on the fence. My major concerns are what are the most likely failures on 7 to 10 days traveling FSR's in BC/Alberta. Given some of the stuff on the internet I might well carry a day pack because it is...

As far as I know that one and Big Bar are still running unless the river is too high, it is pretty cool to cross that way. You check status of both ferries here : http://www.drivebc.ca/#listView&road=Lytton%20Ferry

Depends on what you want, I have driven a lot of the FSR's between Vancouver and Williams lake. Some are pretty easy almost gravel roads Spout Lake from Lac la Hache into Horsefly is a nice easy drive - not much to see though. One thing to remember is given the winter and spring we have had...

RJ 45 at the head

I will just add if you are in a provincial or federal park unload your firearms and leave them in the vehicle. You can not carry or discharge any form of firearm in those parks.

I think everything you need to know is covered, I travel almost exclusively solo all though the Pacific Northwest (BC). I tend to travel well off the beaten path. The simplest thing and most important thing is to know when to say the road ends here. Have a solid trip plan and leave it with...

Depends, I just like getting away -so for me any FSR that is little traveled is interesting. There are some old mine sites and old Minto townsite on Carpenter lake, Minto is generally under water but the lake was way down this year so you could actually wander around. I have passed through...

Canada Customs has a lot of issues with US citizens bringing in firearms without doing the paperwork, and then pulling the oh I forget about that loaded whatever customs finds in vehicle. And of course whining about the press and everywhere else when they get charged about how unfair it is...

I can not speak to your area but I have an early 97 manual transmission, 275000 Km. It has no significant issues, other than a transmission replacement -1st gear went. Given I bought it used and there were some metal bits in there when I had all the fluids changed it may have been previous...

Well a fire may not essential, but I like having one. I like the smell and scent of a fire, and I enjoy cooking over an open fire. And I always bring my own wood, about a dozen pieces for a 7 day trip, that way I always have at least some dry wood, add some local gather and I am fine. But I...

I considered it, Pacific Northwest here, I put radio body in a rear under floor storage compartment inside a plastic container. So if my entire truck is in more than 3 ft of water my radio is toast. But really it is a minor issue at that point, as the truck is toast too, computer would be...

Very fun to watch, some good ideas there for us solo guys too.

I only lost part an eyebrow to one, if you set up right once it is going it just runs. The issue is they are not fast, they work really well but they take a while. You need a pretty wide base if its a smaller basin of water and still need all the chimney. But it seems to me we used one in a...

Thanks I am looking at putting a dual battery system in an my alternator is pretty old, so as might well go better.

What alternator do you have in there ?

Nah we just have 1/10 of the population in a bigger space, all the same problems just less of them. Like everywhere else where you live and what you do matters. We have a high rate of gang violence again in Vancouver, 80 or so deaths I think this year, but I don't live that life style so I...

rotti You need to check in ahead of time. I am not sure if you can get clearance at the border, but although it is legal here you still need the paper work

Just to chime in where you are in Canada matters the east coast is far more restrictive than the West coast on where you and when can shoot anything - it very much much a provincial thing. But to sum up all AR variants,and handguns are restricted along with a large number of other firearms- you...
