Oh, yeah..... rough trail.... I would wait until you've passed to the phase of a forward facing seat before you go offroad. That's typically when the neck is of sufficient strength according to the statistics.... that's why they are allowed to go into a forward facing seat. I was more talking...

Immediately. Just be very flexible on your schedule. As soon as you hit the road you may have to do a diaper change and feeding.... so flexibility and patience is your greatest mod. I still remember sitting on the side of the road with the city in my rearview mirror... we sat there for over...

So VERY dependant on what your goals are. I always say recovery gear and learning how to use it is the first step. Proper recovery gear like a recovery strap, shackles, etc. Don't rush into anything. Get the basics... (stove and cooler a spork and some food, lol) and then get out and...

The rear locker is a game changer in very low traction areas like snow and deep sand where you need momentum. A-trac is awesome when you have traction.... you can climb like a billy goat. In very tough climbing situations I activate both. Going through a sketchy mud hole I activate the rear...

I have the MS170. It's the smallest Stihl that I've used and I'm not overly impressed with it's power. I was having a bit of an issue with it bogging down the first year too... until I realized it REALLY liked a clean air filter. Once I changed that out on a more regular basis and always had...

Rain. Waking up to a downpour makes cooking breakfast a little tough to do on an open fire... then that can also make lunch and supper difficult if not impossible if your firepit is covered in 3 inches of water... makes it tough to light ;)

One thing to also watch for is water in your intake. The first big splash going into the puddle may kill your engine. Know where your intake is and how to protect it or at least minimize the water going into it.

Thx man. Yeah, they are a lot of fun. :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

He'll just need an offline mapping system to show the gps location on his phone as without signal the normal google maps, etc won't generate the map.... I don't use one so I can't suggest anything for that.

I've heard good things about Spot Messenger... but I have no first-hand knowledge of it. https://www.findmespot.ca/en/

It's a great stress reliever knowing you have a plan B.... no more stressing when the fuel light comes on. The biggest thing is being able to use your WHOLE gas tank when needed..... which increases the amount of miles you can put on with that tank itself... nevermind the extra gas you are...

It's my plan B. I always plan to never use them... but I have the knowledge that they are there and it's comforting. I've used them a couple times so far now. The one time (picture shown) was travelling back home from the bush. The gas station that I regularly use had burnt down prior to the...

You're always going to run into opinionated people.... just shrug it off, don't give it another thought... and do what makes you happy. :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

Like the research you've done... it will depend on the area you are going into by the sounds of it. Where I go (deep wilderness) the bears are not conditioned to think of humans as providing a food source so they are very skittish and don't want anything to do with us. So I put my stuff in...

Crappy!! I hope they are able to salvage enough funds and time to complete their vacation!
