Took the Jeep storm chasing a few nights before Christmas...
...geomagnetic storm chasing....
Don't mind me... I just need to update my facebook status...
-22C ( -7F) temps had my fingers freezing up quick...
but I really enjoy how this photo turned out.
the skies in central Alberta were...
I'll have to do a bit of a write up on this (my entire dash setup) - but really, it's just a power port - I get two 12V outlets - one is occupied by a plug in voltage monitor. It also has 4 2amp output USB ports for all my gadgets like phones/gopro/tablet.
@stoney126 good guess - but my Jeep...
Limestone Mountain is a nice little run too...
The Transalta Run was nice when I did it - easy run:

Baseline Mountain is good too - but you'll get scratched up while going up...
Went for a drive in "winter wonderland" a few days ago. I had a four day trip planned, but shortened it down to just a couple of days - the roads I was planning to be on were closed to heavy snow and ongoing storms - and with a prior engagement on my last planned day, I didn't want to be stuck...
Sometimes it's easy to get wrapped up with technology and gear.
I sat pondering how to get running water in the back of the Jeep for a while before it clicked it - just siphon it out! A $2.00 piece of tubing and a spare cap for the Rotopax can gives me running water in the back of the Jeep...
Too many build threads on the go everywhere! And here's to starting another one.
I'll take some time and attempt to post a few of my key build features, or at least a summary of the build to date.
For those interested in reviewing what I've got, and what I've done up until now, jump over to my...
This trip, we'll classify as a "microadventure" as it was close to what is currently "home" and only for the a few hours in the evening... but it was my birthday present to myself, and some much needed solitude!
Photos are at Elk Island National Park, Alberta. It's a 30 minute drive East of...
Day 2.
Early to rise and work on some sun-rise photography. Funny how everyone said they were up at 5am, but yet I was the only one up moving around.
I think out of everyone here, I was the only one who had been to Crescent Falls (and seen the falls) before, so I had a chat with the group...
Another weekend, another adventure.
Seventeen of us all met-up to do some exploring along the David Thompson Highway area of Alberta (Crescent Falls). Myself and a few others were only able to depart on the Saturday morning, but we caught up to the group for a 'family portrait'.
The plan...
Took a break out of storm chasing to attend an off road 4x4 fundraiser for a local animal rescue group.... not so much overlanding/exploring, but it was a fun day none-the-less. I didn't put the overland jeep through the course, but donated my time to take some photos for the event and...
It's been a busy couple of weeks here in Alberta. Some very turbulent weather patterns, and as an amateur storm chaser (when I get time), I've spent some time out following some of the weather patterns close to home.
From my downtown "headquarters" (home)...
Next plan is to try and get...
Although I'm going back in time to late May, this was a great weekend excursion with a great group of new friends from various local off road and Jeep clubs.
This part of Alberta is called "The Spillway", and it's a 30km+ run through a bit of a canyon that is used as a over flow area for a man...
June 27-28th.
Another weekend adventure into Jasper National Park, Alberta.
My adventures aren't just all about "overland travel (in a vehicle)". I need to get out and explore - sometimes on foot, sometimes boat, sometimes by air.
Once I arrived at my location, I parked the...
Jun 20-21st
I could have turned around and been happy with my weekend getaway after coming across this Land Rover well outfitted for overlanding. www.beyondthehorizon.be was the web site and this couple have been travelling quite extensively. I wished they hadn't been setup for the night as...
Experience some of my overland adventures, right here on Overland Bound....
(looking for details on my build? Click here.)
I'll post a few teaser photos and videos of my overland trips and adventures for everyone to see and comment on... they might not always be in order - and really, the...
some great rigs on here, and love seeing the "overland" theme being promoted.
Above is my Jeep - outfitted for overland exploration adventures which I tend to get away almost every weekend to do. Perhaps in a few more months, I'll make it a full time expedition!
