I think your best bet will be to use an offroad trailer so you can keep your tow rig at a reasonable size and store your gear in the trailer. You'd be surprised how well some of those smaller offroad trailers tow in the rough stuff. With the big dogs and kids I would suggest a decent ground...

First things first, Welcome! Secondly... what are your needs? How many people do you plan on transporting? Are you towing, hauling, etc. etc...

I'm old... I go to sleep when the sun goes down :tearsofjoy: No need for lights and I actually prefer to allow my eyes to adjust to the night if I head out for a midnight pee, lol.

Yeah, it was great to meet you guys! :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

The Goodyear Duratracs do have the snowflake symbol and are a favourite tire around here. EDIT: But, these are all-terrain tires. You won't see a mud tire that is rated for snow... at least not that I'm aware of.

Pretty breezy. We managed to acquire 1 of the 2 firepits and we have a bit of wood that we brought. Cleaned up the beer bottles in the firepit and picked up a discarded water bottle.... Other than that it's pretty clean.

Coordinating when the weather is warm is a bit tougher.... But tomorrow (Sunday June 10th) a few will be going to La Barriere park. I'm going to be there around 2pm until just a little bit after supper. I'll be getting a fire going and roasting some hot dogs for me and my wife and kids. If...

Offroad I said it was dangerous. On road I gave my opinion and 1 experience. In that scenario I was simply stating I would have liked to NOT hit her so hard. Hitting her was inevitable.... How hard is debatable. We're mashing a few different scenarios together here. I'm not going to put my...

I'm saying having ABS still active when you are offroad is downright dangerous. You don't have to be going fast to need to use the brakes and have them work. My example above was just 1 on-road example and my point was to be able to bleed more speed off prior to impact would have been nice...

ABS increases stopping distance. Period. It's designed to maintain steering ability when the wheels lock up. You should NOT have ABS when you are on gravel or sand or pretty much any other offroad scenario. You need the wheels to lock up to push a mound of dirt ahead of you to stop...

Do they have wood there to use?

The 9th won't work for me,sorry. I will be at La Barriere park on the 10th around 1400 hrs. I'll be bringing my family (wife and 2 preteen girls) and we'll likely spend some time tossing the ball around, etc. Then we'll have a fire and roast some dogs. Come visit if you want/can.

With all the overlanding talk and stuff we tend to take camping.....make sure you secure all your shovels, axes, etc on your rigs. We don't want this to happen to us or anyone else. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/axe-through-car-windshield-saskatchewan-man-1.4681850

We have no issues here now. My girls have been squatting outside for as long as they can remember, lol. We've been camping in the woods since they were 5 or 6 I think....? It was a big improvement when we got the privacy tent. A bit of privacy and (more importantly for us since we are in the...

Yeah, the 17th (I was just informed) won't work for me either, lol. So, June 10th or July 7th would be an option for me.... I think. The rest of the summer is work or vacation. If anyone wants to have a get-together on ANY other days they of course can throw it out there and have others join up.

Alright... let's schedule this for the 17th. Does anyone know if that place fills up... is there going to be an issue getting an availabe firepit? La Barriere park 18-06-17 4pm BYO-whatever-you-plan-on-eating-drinking...

I use the Cardo bluetooth headset while on my ATV.... might be overkill for in a vehicle though, lol. https://www.cardosystems.com/

I'm sure a standard 4x4 fridge (many options) can handle it for a bit... it all depends on how much abuse and how exposed it is I guess. I know my fridge (ARB) didn't like being cold. I used it in the back of the FJ in the winter for a long drive and the thermostat got confused and didn't cool...
