i if you end up through vernon or kelowna, hit me up.

i have some goretex solomon boots, but they get a bit hot to drive in. put those on when i get out of the truck. got some lowcut keen shoes that are great for driving and quick scouts outside in most weather. big sorell boots on standby in winter.

will take photos of the operation fir sure. leaving extra early for this run to make sure we have time to make it safe.

a very solid review and a great alternative to propane or electeic on demand systems available. the air tank is an awesome addition. i wonder how it woyld perform in colder conditions. how dependant is 120 degrees on ambiant temperature i wonder.

the benefit of a decent tent with a full fly is the air insulation layer between the body of the tent and the fly. a single layer of tarp on a pvc frame is a great idea though. cheaper and easy way to fill a need... just my style.

thats what i figure will end up happening.

the forestry roads are plowed at the discression of the logging company. chains would extend the driving on the roads that arent plowed by a few weeks. deep snow mainly. once in a while we are driving back in different conditions we drove in in. like a big dump of snow and a big freeze while we...

im certainly not adverse to purchasing some as opposed to building them. seemed like a interesting project if it was feasable. i dont want to thrash my truck with a broken chain. lots of the diy i have seen seemed a little mickey mouse, so thats why i asked here if anyone had luck building some...

if i ever have a brazillion dollars i will have a truck for every occasion. until then, i'm driving a rock crawling, overlanding, grocery getter, commuter.

not sure if im on the map. sometimes i see myself, other times i don't. might be the way i get to the map.

french press. fits in my mug that i can use for soup, hot chocolate or porkchops. just wash it well in between.

big breakfast, big dinner, small snacky lunch. 1st and last meals are usually cooked on a bbq or fire. maybe a primus stove if noodles are involved. the further we get into a trip, the less meat appears at meal time. freeze the meat before you go and it's still frozen-ish on day 2 or 3 with...

i did mine on the back door because i just got one. might order 2 more since i dig the front fender sides.

its got some cool ideas i suppose, but i think i'll pass. hope thats ok on this thread. my experience with biolite (the woodburning camp stove) has not been that great, (never performs as i expect it to, with crazy long burn times and a high maintenance fire) and it seems like it's giving me...

i saw a post about this from a few years back. all the pictures are unavailabe now. anyone try this recently? they are not cheap to buy, so if i could save $100 or so, im all in. some stuff online other places, but looking for stuff that has actual tested use in overland applications, not stuff...

winter is definately on the way. biggest difference for us is many areas are not accessible by truck anymore. the fsr's are only plowed if a logging company or private place plows them. chains and sweet tires wont make a difference in 3+ feet if snow. we tend to stay more local in the winter, or...

most of the places we go are ok with ground fires when there are no fire bans. my truck gets pretty full as it is, so i pass on fire pits i have to bring along. lp ones have cool ambiance and heat, but again, big. the small lp bbq has been our cooker of choice when fire bans are off. we just put...

my tents are all freestanding, so pegs arent required for tbe body of the tent. the only pegs i usually put in are the ones that hold the door/vestibule out. when we've been in situations where pegs don't go in, i usually tie the fly to a big rock or piece of wood. a platform seems a bit bulky...

sounds like i should look into a vacuum sealer. thanks for the feedback.

i use an msr elixer 4 for my wife and son. its probably a bit small for you, but the right idea. light and small packed up but a castle for us 3. get a good one, not a walmart one.
