Looking good! Thanks for the shoutout :D If you decide to fit 285/75/16's, I'm intrigued to know what if anything is needed to fit them, as I considered those but for various reasons had to play it safe and go with 265/75/16's at the time. I also had the same idea you had about fitting a hidden...

Ahh, Grubworm, like clockwork you'll appear in every thread and GO THERE. We should call you Old Faithful :P lol One thing I will say, this thread is a perfect example of why organizations like Overland Bound are important. I'm quite confident no member of OB would ever conduct themselves in...

I have the 18v Ryobi and have owned it for over a year now. I've used it extensively, both in the field and on my 5 acre property to fell fully grown standing dead poplars, which are pretty signifcant in size. I think mine has a 14" bar, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I bought the saw because I...

Very nice. Blades never run out of ammo.

I throat punched the bear, but he wasn't packing heat :( I am deeply disappointed and my day is ruined.

Bears are usually not a problem, even griz, but either kind can unalive you very fast. That's why I always take a firearm in the bush when camping.

Wow, how did you manage to get such clear shots? Does your phone camera have adjustable ISO settings?

My setup is a $4250 2006 Dodge Dakota, a $100 bed rack from Kijiji with some metal brackets bolted on that I had laying around, to which I bolted my $16 walmart shovel, $19 axe, $80 pair of chinesium traction boards (they work just fine), a jerry can holder I made out of the same metal brackets...

Firstly, it's kind of awesome that Grubworm's hilarious OP sparked 40 pages of Spam related shenanigans. Also, I have a spam dish I tried. I took a can of spam and a box of hamburger helper. I diced up the spam nice and small, then made it up with the hamburger helper. To thicken it, I crushed...

I absolutely love the design of the Grenadier, especially how it was designed from the ground up with rugged adventure in mind. I would dearly love to buy one, but with the price tag being over 100k in Canada, I highly doubt I'll ever be able to afford one lol. Oh well, I can always enjoy the...

Ah, right on. In the little pictures on my phone, the Ontario plates look like BC lol

I like your whole setup. Very cool. Fellow BC boy, eh? I grew up in the LMD.byt moved to Alberta last year. Cheers!

Great photos! It's awesome to see a new member getting out and adventuring, hopefully with greater confidence and skill thanks to the useful input of many here. Once you cut those useless steps off, depending on how those rails are bolted onto the truck, they will probably make decent sliders...

From our recent Rockies expedition:

I keep musing over the idea that I need to start a youtube channel called "Ghettoverlanding" because everything I use is so ghetto. Thrift store, dollar store, free store, stuff I had lying around the property when I bought it, old gear I've had since grade 10 in highschool is basically the vast...

Hey there! Sadly, Ganbaru is no more. The timing belt snapped on the highway during our move from BC to Alberta last June, and all the factors invovled, one of the biggest being our need for a pickup as we bought a 5 acre property, added up to it not making sense to roll the dice on trying to...

Good illustration of why running boards are not sliders.

I dont find guns the least bit scary. They are very simple machines that are very easy to handle safely if you follow a few very simple, easy to remember rules. I dont find chainsaws or angle grinders to be super scary either, but I'll tell you those two tools are far scarier than any firearm.

I would say get a OB decal applied to a flexible sheet magnet.

Eureka Timberline is hands down one of the highest value tents you can buy. I bought one used when I was in the army, probably around 2003 or 2004, I've used it extensively in all kinds of conditions, including in a low profile configuration on an army range ex, and the thing is still in use to...
