Glad to be able to offer any info/help I can. For Canada, I have two linkes for you: 1) How to bring a Firearm into Canada, go to: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/visit-visite-eng.htm, choose Option 1 then click on "Non-Resident Firearm Declaration," (have three copies of this form)...

Almost forgot! You should be able to Google "Satellite Phone Rentals" for the nearest location(s) in your area. You can compare prices but they are usually fairly competitive. Just make sure you rent an "Iridium" brand, nothing else (a big stay away from anything by Globstar). I use the Iridium...

Now then, as to your question's on Bear Safety. Let me first explain that there are many individuals who believe that the only effective defense against a Bear attack is a firearm, preferably a 12 GA shotgun. These individuals will staunchly argue that the firearm is the only way to protect...

My I suggest you start your research on the PLB by going to the ACR website. They have a very good animated comparison on all the different devices. Then, go to http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/emerbcns.htmlgive Then give me a call and I'll give you the in depth 411 as to the reliability of the...

I have plenty of information that I'd be delighted pass on. I certainly don't know it all, and there are always other perspectives, but I'll help in any way I can. My first suggestion is on safety. For any remote (off the beaten path) travel, I Always recommend two important communication items...

Awesome! Let's keep in touch. I'd be delighted to help in anyway I can, trip planning, GTG, help while on the road, whatever.

I did my first Overland trip to Alaska in 2009. I did it a second time in 2011, when I moved to Alaska for good. Both of these trips stand out as Grand Adventures for me. I believe you will find "The Milepost" to be your most valuable resource. I live in Palmer and would be thrilled to meet up...

Good info! Thanks!!

OK - I did some research on the electric fan question for overlanding. There were a few individuals who were happy with them, but the majority of folks that had used them were not satisfied. They reported problems with their engine overheating and also the motors on the fans failing. The final...

I've been in about -25 F and no electronic problems so far. Of course, I do have a "Battery Blanket" to keep the battery warm. Currently using the Factory lead/acid battery but will be switching to dual AGM batteries. They will probably still need a Battery Blanket to keep them at max output...

Thank you! So far, it looks like an aftermarket fan is not the way to go. I live in Alaska, so overheating is not a real concern. I was hoping to be able to actually keep the fan off when the weather got really cold. The more common practice is to put a "Winter Front" over the radiator which...

Thanks for your feed back! This is one of my concerns!!

Thank You!

I'm thinking about switching my 07 4Runner Factory (Clutch) radiator fan to an electric Flex-A-Lite fan. Would like any feedback on this.

Hello Eugene! I'm fairly new to the group myself, but since I'm in Alaska I figure we're almost neighbors! As to your map place showing as red, that is what you see when are viewing the map from your log in page, the rest of us will see you as yellow. It's the same for me, when I'm logged in, I...

Hello Everyone, Dave Plant in company with "Carl," The Alaskan Bush Dog and Professional K9 Adventurer here. I'm very excited to join this group. After a few overland excursions into British Columbia, the Yukon Territory and Alaska, I decided to permanently break away from the lower 48 so that...
