So based on the input to date, maybe we could say: Maritimes Eastern Canada Prairies Western Canada NWT/Nunavut/YK (or "Northern Territories" as suggested) Obvious overlap with Maritimes being able to fall into Eastern Canada as well, but it gives them a bit of an individual identify. Same...

I like the categories and grouping provinces together into areas. That way we get a larger group. Being in Alberta I probably wouldn't be checking the "sask" thread, but I'd watch the "prairies" thread and chat with more people.

As a Winnipeger, trapped in the middle, would you say Manitobans most identify with western Canada, or eastern? Just curious.

Sounds about right to me.

Found this book at a gas station in crowsnest. Good ideas in here.

Heh heh, I assumed as much, although I had silently hoped that it was a creative way to store a hitch hiker.

How far did you have to drive before that fella on the roof fell off? Looks awesome!

For securing loads with a rope I find a quick knot is better. Or use bungee straps. If it's a bigger load a ratchet strap works best for me.

I only use them for very very small loads. My tonneau cover raises on gas shocks, so if I have a load that sticks out of the top of the bed I'll tie the cover down using these. For example I carted around my summer tires and rims with one tire sticking out of the top of my truck cover few...

I carry a half dozen of that last carabiner in the photos for tying things down in my truck while driving. They work fairly well, but I've had them slip before. Very handy around the campsite.

Nothing but the open road and a vague plan. Sounds fun. :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've never carried a fridge. Never had much use for one. I start with most everything Pre-frozen in a cooler and eat what thaws out first. Works for me for about 4 days as a rule. Past that I have to find some ice. I try to be low maintenance. Breakfast is cold cereal or oatmeal. Staying low...

What areas are you planning to see/stop at around Banff/Jasper?

I find that Northern communities in Canada like Stanley Mission are pretty friendly and welcoming. Anyone coming in will be met with curious looks, but they're just people living their day just like anyone else. I wouldn't be too concerned traveling there. Having said that, if you're...

I think the best thing about overland by motorcycle is your involvement in your surroundings. The smells are amazing and you can feel the air change with every change in the landscape. Camping Creek crossing My old BMW f650

I'm an Apple guy, but I use the Gamin GLO with my cell & tablet. It connected to both right away & I can use it with any app. I would recommend it.

Just curious. Do you use a left handed drill bit? I find that with a broken bolt, 9 times out of ten the remaining bolt comes out if I use them. Saves tapping at least.
