Always interested in talking with other OB/Overland/4x4 folks!

Hi Michael, Yes, this is using the OB Talk app.

Chris, do you have your own channel you are posting videos to? Where can we find the On call with Chris videos?

When using the OB app on IOS 12 on my iPhone XR, the menu Along the bottom of the screen when replying to a thread is covered by the keyboard. It results in me not being able to insert a pic when using the mobile app. I can’t hide the keyboard either... it looks like the input field should auto...

This was my solution. Frontrunner 41L tank that is only 3” wide. Sits directly behind the rear seat and is sandwiched by my drawer system. I run a pressure actuated 12V RV pump that gives us running water to the back of the rig. Works great!

Hello from Kelowna! Looking forward to meeting some local members this year. Planning my next upgrades and refining my build to better meet my needs. With a family of four in my 80 series, space is at a premium. If you are coming through Kelowna on a trip, let me know and I’ll throw some meat on...

We are looking at a circle route from Sydney down to Victoria, up to Port Renfrew, back roads to Lake Cowichan. From there, backroads to Port Alberni then down to Bamfield/Pachena Beach maybe? Or else straight over to Tofino/Ucluelet. May see if we can find some backroads up the Clayoquot Arm...

Hey Pearfish! Sounds good! My wife and I are planning a week on Van Island this summer as well. Looking to do some beach camping.

Oh man, would that ever be a nasty surprise in your tent when you are crawling in for the night!!!

That is a hell of a long first day... I’m an Ironman when it comes to driving but 21 hours is enough to waste all but the very select few. Hopefully you have 3-4 people you can share driving duties with! Similar to a trip I had planned for last year, but we didn’t make it. Check out Titus...

Hmmm. Just spent some time in Google Earth, rather than maps. Also loaded up Backroads Mapbook app. If there is a route through, it’s definitely not obvious. Some crazy mountains between Squamish and Gibson’s! Even if you did make it across the river, it doesn’t look like there is much of a...

Follow the road along the red arrow to the south east then cross in the shallow area designated by the green arrow. Then up the road on the west side to the right of way.

Yep. Although the road appears to parallel the river to the south east side.

If you follow the right of way back to where it crosses the river, it looks like the access road is on either side of the river. That spot also looks like it is much shallower than the rest of the river. No idea if it is crossable there, but looks like the best place.

Old thread, new post. I’m in Kelowna, would enjoy an OB members meetup to have a drink and discuss local trails/routes/places to visit!
