    GPS Failure Scenario

    I grew up in the East Kootenays right in the center of the Rocky Mountain Trench. I worked in the bush for a long time and never thought about where I was because I had the Steeples to the east; and the Purcells to the west; You could not get lost if you tried.. You could see Fisher Peak...

    Roof Rack: First hand experiences with Prinsu, FrontRunner, or K9 Wanted

    I love these threads! Prinsu here; I went with clear anodized bars and raw aluminum sides, I didn't want to deal with chipping paint or anything like that. The other huge plus to me was the modular design. I love that I can change the bars around, get more attachments, and even replace...

    Surviving Camping with Toddlers

    Haha, stories are all coming out now.. thing to remember - Don't give up! Even if you have the worst trip, the next one will be better! We had our little girl out camping at 8 months, with our son at 3.. Stayed close to home, able to pull the pin, but they did well. I have to say having a...

    Toyota Tacoma's

    I hated the rearview mirror position in the 2nd gen.. every one I got into seemed to have it right in my face/fov.. and then we bought ours and 10 minutes on TW found ImMrYo making extensions to move it out of the way. That is another nice thing about Tacomas - close your eyes and think of a...

    Toyota Tacoma's

    What recalls are we talking about? Because my 86 sr5 Xtracab was close to 300K trouble free miles when I sold it to someone headed off to Central America.. Our 2005 TRD Sport has been the easiest vehicle to own, and it had the entire frame replaced by Toyota.. cost to me; $12 to replace the...

    Alberta through the PNW

    The only problem I see with your map is you are missing all the good stuff in the middle. I would take the long way through the Okanagan (sun and wine) and the West Kootenays (pic above); https://goo.gl/maps/U9RtupEETkR2

    The kind of thing we must help stop.

    Looks like someone needs more practice with a trailer, but they made it eventually. Although I would suggest maybe starting in an empty parking lot and working your way up to the trail once you know your limits better.

    Axes

    I carry a Hulti Woodsman, it's 2lb head and 26in. Works fantastic around camp, and looks pretty too. In my truck workbox there is a fiskers hatchet - just incase I'm chopping dirt.

    External Fuel Storage

    I carried a Scepter MFC Jerry strapped to the side of the bed under the canopy. Sort of like this; Now I only carry it for trips as it was making the groceries smell like gas..

    Vehicular Hypochondria

    Haha, we call it testing.. Like how on every drive I'm listening, varying speed, breaking, checking the steering wheel, etc, etc.. It would probably drive my wife crazy but her Dad did exactly the same thing so it's normal now.

    What small thing do you do in prepping for a trip the next day?

    Air up, check fluids, get music, load GPS, rainx windows.. We travel with kids so there is a bit of backseat prep as well - toys, sunglasses, hats.. My ideal situation is we load up and roll out, without having to do anything the morning of.. I also find it useful to have 98% ready to go the...
