Sorry I was off bouncing around, another part of BC. Those images were taken on Stave Lake road East just North of Mission BC.

On top of China head Mtn BC, about 6670 feet with the Roverlanders of BC

Out for a short run this week end - 20 minutes of pavement a couple of hours of gravel

That and avoiding campsites that have problem bears, it is pretty easy to determine. Get out of your vehicle and take a walk around look for bears sign and garbage. If you find either move on or accept you may have a variety of late night visitors.

Up here in BC they are delightfully vague on the topic. The problem is in many places there is no hard and fast rules and poachers have made things way worse for us at least in BC. So if in doubt off to court you go in many cases. But is worth the effort to call.

I will just add beyond your truck, have a good reliable contact who know your route and set some check in times. My rule of thumb is always call my wife when I fuel up, she can generally track me via APRS but that is not 100% in Pacific Northwest so that is why I call. If I miss a call on a...

All those below you are pretty much out of luck in BC, the critical issue in British Columbia is risk to life rather than property. However that is pretty unlikely in my experience assuming you are generally acting in, "bear aware and safe manner". I travel solo and even with bear sign in...

Here British Columbia, it is a tough call, you will interviewed and possibly charged. Note if you are in a Provincial Park you will be charged with the discharge of a firearm in a park, so bear spray is your only option there. If you have to take a bear down you are required to report it to...

Interesting concept, but I am curious how well it will support non US locations, I find most app coverage is pretty inconsistent outside the US lower 48

Just to added to the confusion octane ratings are different in Europe than North America. So take your best guess, but the owners manual says : Premium unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI octane rating of 91 or higher. See TYPE OF FUEL, 168 Note: Mid or regular grade gasoline with a CLC or...

Given your description of your current travels, a hand winch would get the job done. I have gone around on an electric winch for 8 years still do not have one. But I travel solo mostly so it is prey easy for me to say the road ends here to day, or get out and walk the road for 15 minutes...

Just to add the V8 cooling problems are pretty typical for aluminum engines, this is compounded by the idiot gauge on the dash it moves up once things are really bad not before. The simplest fix is buy a cheap Bluetooth ODB reader and pair it with a cell phone, it is handy when looking a trucks...

I travel alone for the most part the pour over has worked great. The filters are just paper, I keep an old plastic Folgers container to toss them into when I am done and either burn them or compost at home. I grind coffee at home for ease of use, although I have considered getting a hand...

Well the rules in Canada and the US are very different, in Canada handguns and almost everything AR based are a no go for you needs. For wildlife defense I carry a short 12 gauge, as I am often a few 100Km from cell service it is a nice all round choice. My go to is this little guy 14 inch...

Try this forum instead a much better crowd Discovery II . And it is a used truck I took mine for 2 day off road trip after owing for all of 3 weeks. But has been noted maintenance is everything as with any vehicle you are taking to the back end of no where, I have had my Disco for 18 months...

The easy part downhill, Up hill in the dark I needed to be winched

Good job! hard work for sure but very satisfying when you get out. Solid plan with the branches to keep you up top once you got moving.

Wow been there, as you found out the hard way beaches with dark spots are pretty iffy. Beaches are pretty marginal for recovery, lots of tow companies will not go past the access road the tow trucks are just too heavy. As you are traveling solo, I would suggest avoiding anything that looks...

In Canada carry of a pistol is pretty much impossible. But a short barreled shotgun 14 inch barrel no problem, although it varies widely by province as some disallow firearms except when hunting. Alberta and BC no issue though. National and Provincial parks no firearms at all.

Smarter than most people give them credit for. They have been known to charge people so they drop their food and run, easy meal for them. I had a old fellow hear my truck, he went off the road, and kept a tree between his body and me and peeked around to keep an eye on me.
