I spent a couple years mulling over our next step when we were adventuring in a suv and rooftop tent. At the end of the day (4 years and many thousands of miles ago now) we purchased a Tundra and Four Wheel Camper. For me, the main advantage over an all-in-one van was I had the choices of what...

I have a 2015 Dodge Caravan with the V6 motor in it. At 110K Km it decided to sh1t itself, to the tune of $5 grand in repairs. It was just outside of warranty and Chrysler wouldn't do anything to help me out at all. I'd poke my eye out with a rusty fork before ever buying anything from the...

I guess I agree, but at some point on the scale we all live in glass houses. And that's the issue I see, who decides what is right or wrong, and is it worth starting an argument due to your (or my) belief of what is correct behavior or not in the great outdoors. Our judgements our based on our...

Seems normal to me, my ADS Racing stuff does the same thing. Like someone above said, the ring is just road dust. I would not worry about it, I reckon if your shock ever leaks, you'll know it.

Thanks. Ichabod loves the camera. I swear my phone is 99% full of pictures of just him.

Enjoy the trip. We drove to Tuk in July of 2018. It was magnificent and magical. Can't wait to explore North again.

Comfort is very important to me, and we travel thousands of miles a year on bumpy and rutted logging and forestry roads. On road handling is also important to me, we spend a lot of time traveling twisty tight mountain roads, up and down to the ski hill, over multiple mountain passes, etc. For...

I love our Frotnrunner chairs. We spent 10+ years going thru multiple different camp chairs, and settled on these about 4 years ago. Since then they've been everywhere with us, been beaten around a ton, and still perform perfectly. They are not the lightest chair out there, but they compress up...

We were in Tuk july 2/3 2018 and the weather was fantastic. It was pretty warm, though I still could only get in the water up to my knees. The dogs sure enjoyed it, and their were a few brave souls who went in for a swim.

We used to have an Xterra with rooftop tent, and I bought carpet runner and laid it up the hood, windshield and up onto the roof. One of our dogs could jump up on the hood then simply walk up the carpet runner and into the open window of the rtt. My other dog, I lifted her onto the hood...then...

We spent 2 weeks on Northern Vancouver island this past summer (and I spent 2 weeks in the same area last summer). I don't recall spending time in any other area where their is such a concentration of black bears......and of course cougars.....then their are the wolves. We cook what we enjoy...

Safety has absolutely no place in the bushes or in conversations like these......:grinning::grinning::grinning:

I've spent my entire 51 years living here in BC, and it was only in 2018 that I made the effort ot venture further north than Prince George. I was blown away by the Yukon and everywehre North of there we ventured. i can see the appeal to that part of the world, whether it's the Yukon, NWT, or...

I chose Tuk as our destination mainly because I am Canadian and wanted to first experience the Arctic from my own Country's perspective. I have no doubt we will eventually return North, and then the Dalton Hwy will be on our destination list. In speaking with people who have done both Arctic...

I have nothing but good to say about my Toyo AT2 Extreme's. They've performed flawlessly so far, seem to wear very well, and I haven't found anywhere yet they haven't gotten our truck and camper where we want to go.

We drove North to Tuk in July of 2018 and it was a most memorable experience. The South Canol Road is an absolute must, it was one of the most enjoyable sections and easily the most desolate road we drove on our entire adventure. I also really preferred the Cassiar Hwy over the Alaska Hwy, but...

Freeze the liquid in any container that you can get it out of. Once frozen, remove it from the container and seal it inside a FoodSaver vacuum sealed bag. Then you can take the bag out and let it defrost and even sous-vide whatever liquid is inside (broth, soup, sauce, etc) right in the bag...

What else do I pound stakes into the ground with... if not my axe? :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing: Honestly, I carry an axe to split firewood for the fire..... I don't really know what other tool can do that job besides an axe.
