    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I don’t own an AR15. What’s the difference between an AR15 and a semi auto gun that doesn’t look like an assault rifle? Share the same caliber, same clip, same action. What’s the difference between 4 ar15’s stolen and 4 semi auto hunting riffles? Again knee jerk reaction without thinking this...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    this gun legislation does nothing to lower gun crime rates. Criminals do not buy registered guns nor do they register said firearm. The only thing this does is make some people sleep better at night. Ignorance is bliss.

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I wouldn’t go as far to say Canadians don’t need a firearm in the bush. It depends where and when. In my location I don’t need one as we only really have black bears and they only get active when the salmon are in and then they are so pre occupied by the smorg they could care less. Now we have...

    I believe the bungy cords are for the inside to hold the material in when it’s being folded up. It been a couple years since I had a conventional RTT.

    I had a 1st gen when they first came out. 3” BL and 2” suspension . It went everywhere. If they have improved on the design im sure with a good hand on the wheel it’s capable of more than you expect

    Finding a balance between camping and driving.

    for us it’s about 2-3 days hard driving requires a good rest day. When I say hard driving that’s 10-14hr days behind the wheel. We use a small overland trailer, this allows a little more freedom to explore, but hinders quick departures. But we can be loaded and ready in 15 minutes if we don’t...

    Heating water under the hood

    we would use these on our snowmobiles all the time. I would put in day old hot wings and they could be piping hot for lunch. One day we brought buttered bread and cheese. At lunch we would make runs, using the EGT gauge to dial in our cooking heat for grilled cheese sandwiches.

    Vancouver Island Members?

    We should plan a rally from Victoria to Hardy/Holberg area for summer time. I know with the times right now it may not be feasible but I believe if we plan it for August (maybe long weekend) we should be good. Try and backroad as much as possible, obviously we can’t do the whole island on gravel...

    WHY did you choose YOUR rig?!

    It was all of the above. It’s incredible how tight roads/trails are here on Vancouver island. Also generally speaking we wanted to get back to a better camping experience. I can get back to enjoying rv life when the body can’t climb a ladder anymore.

    WHY did you choose YOUR rig?!

    We moved to a different region a few years ago. Left the high desert region to the deep pacific north west. We had a 05 2500 duramax lifted on 305s w/host camper. With some good driving we could get this setup into a lot of places in our previous region. We quickly found out it was out of its...

    Any Ketogenic “Keto“ Overlanders?

    The Keto diet has been a game changer for me. I have suffered from anxiety attacks and those have completely disappeared. With that my 2pm “crash” doesn’t happen anymore. I am able to focus on tasks better. We also use a more plant based approach but still love our red meats. No more planter on...
