My wife doesn't drink coffee so I bought a stainless steel GSI commuter java press. It's a travel mug and press all in one, no extra equipment or filters required. It's perfect for just myself and I pre-grind enough coffee beans before we leave.

I love cast iron pans for cooking on the fire, but I do have a teflon pan also for stove duty.

You guys have it good down there for gas alright! Pretty much $5 around here or $6 for premium.

^^ That's a good idea I'll probably try. Last summer (first year with the RTT) I just left the dog in her crate in the rig with the windows cracked or under the tent depending on weather. When we went camping in the winter though I decided to let her in the tent with us and while lifting her...

Just a thought, could you still close the cover if you left the rails uncut but just mounted them the other way? Then you could try it a couple times to see if it works for you before you commit to cutting the rails and if you don't like it that way just flip them back. (I just can't picture...

Depends on your power requirements and available space (if mounting to rig). Obviously 2 are advantageous for redundancy as well as higher output IF you have the electrical demand. Are you staying stationary for days at at a time or driving every day where your alternator is primarily keeping...

I've only ever used regular old garbage bags or even grocery bags and throw them in the back of whoever's pickup has space! haha I have a large duffel dry-bag I will use for collecting garbage bags inside my rig. Interior space isn't a problem with a Suburban and the less hanging off the...

Heading out exploring for a few days with my daughter (6) and our very friendly dog. Heading to Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park and Lucier hot springs via forestry roads from Highway 93, between TransCanada and Radium. Not anticipating any technical wheeling, just gravel forestry roads but always...

Drive along the forestry trunk road (highway 40) north from Cochrane or South from Highwood juction. Explore and camp where you like!

You just need to break it into two stages. Stage 1: California to Vancouver via U-haul! Haha Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

SOLD Locally built set of 4 drawers (2 deep, 2 shallow) that are 72" long and 14" deep. Was built and used as a tool box but great for an overland setup. Has locking latches to secure your stuff if you don't have a locking tailgate. Awesome handles, strongest I've seen. Has removable...

I used to have a rhd Toyota Hilux Surf diesel. The big appeal of JDM vehicles is the unique models and diesel options. They are definitely neat, but given the same vehicle in rhd or lhd, I choose Lhd every time! So much easier to drive here. You only try to merge once looking through your...

For anyone looking for more info, I downloaded Canada Topo Maps Pro but did not like the maps, or the user interface. For the same price I downloaded Backcountry Navigator and without having tested it yet I really like it. Global map sources, not just Canada, better map options better UI and...

There was a FB post? Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

Looks like I will probably be on daddy duty tonight but I'll still swing by for as long as my kiddo will tolerate. Looking forward to meeting everyone! Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

Sounds like we'll have a good little group, I'm looking forward to it. I'll throw my SWR meter in the truck if anybody needs to tune an antenna and wants to borrow it :) Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

I know this is old, but I was amazed while looking around at some of the antennas. I too thought a spring would be necessary and it sure is under my 4' cb Firestick antenna but the guy grabbed some 5/8 wave 2m antenna and pretty much bent it in a loop and it sprung right back. I don't recall...

How do you find the range and usefulness of the handheld ham? I too have a cb mounted in my Suburban (because I had one) and planned on adding a 2m mobile radio but am seriously considering a handheld. I would like to be able to communicate with logging trucks on forestry roads (LMR...

Funny, I live under an hour from Banff and keep dreeming of going back to Oregon and exploring the coast! I won't claim to know everything, but I'll share what I do. Glacier and Waterton (north side of the boarder) are beautiful. Unfortunately a large wildfire burned up a lot of Waterton...

Thx. I ended up buying a used one, but it didn't work that well for me. I wouldn't mind checking with another. Also don't mind letting anyone else use/borrow mine in the area. Might have just been my setup rather than meter... Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk
