    Mountain biking

    After a couple of years tryin' to convince the miss' that bikepacking is a whole lot of fun I gave up...haha Bought a capable overland vehicle and she's taken to it like water. Now overlanding is all about the riding!

    Yuppers...was definitely epic and taught me many a lesson I've carried throughout my somewhat vagabond life. This thread caught my attention because of my love of British Columbia and the attention to detail you all seem to have for preparation. Total respect.... Currently on the other side of...

    Foxwing/Batwing Awnings - Your Thoughts?

    Didn't watch the video either...only because most video platforms will not load where I am. But I can imagine what a harrowing experience it must've been. Have no idea how you escaped the situation but greatful you did. Adventuring will always have risk and can come to a full stop when you...
