    In Canada Exploring, now.

    At least in BC the Border officers probably know more about the rules than the police do, since firearms and non-firearms come across the border fairly regularly. Always declare the stuff you bring across and you won't have an issue. Even if something like that isn't allowed in, as long as it's...

    In Canada Exploring, now.

    Found this: Byrna Canada | The Best Home & Self Defense Products Seems to suggest they are somehow considered legal, but I am quite skeptical of that. Would have to do more research. EDIT: A quick search shows me they are not classed as a firearm in Canada and can be bought here from a couple...

    No, it wasn't the current or very recently resigned PM. It happens to have been the same party though. Common sense is not as common as we would all wish it was, unfortunately.

    No, it's very stupid, believe me on that. They sell the little pocket sized pepper spray cans at every Canadian Tire marked "dog spray" or "coyote spray" alternatively. Perfectly legal, and contains the exact same stuff as "pepper spray" which is illegal. The fact that it's been around since...

    Cool! Let me know if you plan to be around the Edmonton area and we can perhaps meet up for a pint at the pub! On the bear spray vs pepper spray thing - yes, Canada has some incredibly moronic laws. "Pepper spray" is not allowed, but "bear spray" and even "coyote spray" is allowed...I'll leave...

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    Keen eyed observers may have noticed that the bolt hole pattern on the carboard matches a jeep. Yes, I can fit a jeep bumper on my truck with very minor mods (drilling four holes in the front bumper mounts to accommodate the shorter vertical of the jeep bumper mounts. I may do this, however the...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    Oooh nice, I don't think I went up there back when I lived in the area.

    Morale Patch Collecting

    Nice. Just be aware if you ever visit the Great White North, that pen knife is a prohibited weapon in Canada. Yes, the Peoples Republik of Canuckistan has many, many idiotic laws.

    These guys are incredible. I can't understand a word they're saying, but it doesn't matter in the slightest. Absolutely stunning scenery and awesome adventure: Those Lada Niva's are insane!

    Insulation for the poptop roof

    Excellent, thanks for the breakdown. It really helps to have a benchmark for whether it's worth it to do a DIY or buy one ready made. There isn't one specific to my particular tent, as far as I know, but it's similar enough to basically every other clamshell out there that I'm confident I can...

    Insulation for the poptop roof

    What was the total cost of the insulation project? I'm curious how economical it will be if I do try it.

    Insulation for the poptop roof

    Very impressive! I lack the skill and the functional sewing machine for this, but this is an excellent write up. Glad your arctic expedition was a success!

    TIRES

    Ronny Dahl recently put out a great video on this topic that does a good job laying out the pros and cons for both types of tire: About the only thing he really doesn't talk about is performance on wet pavement, where A/T's undoubtedly have the edge. My conclusion was that the correct answer...

    What’s the best way to stay warm in my rooftop tent?

    I am extremely interested, especially if it's cheap! Do you have a link or a thread title for me?

    2024 Honda Passport Trailsport Off-road and Overland Build

    The bigger tires are a huge improvement, but that chin spoiler hurts my heart. That's gotta go. It's also a bit sad how constrictive those wheel arches are and how low slung the front bumper is given that Honda was supposedly trying to go for more off road chops with this vehicle. The geometry...

    What’s the best way to stay warm in my rooftop tent?

    Saw this on a recent video from a guy in WA state who was doing some high altitude winter snow camping. He was using an insulated liner like this inside his RTT along with a simple, cheap little 12v electric heater. He said it worked fantastic. I really like this idea, as I think it would also...

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    So, I had a crazy idea I wanted to test out. So far, it looks extremely promising that it might work. Can anyone guess what it is? (No, it's not fitting a cardboard bumper, you jokers...)
