Yes, we’ve had a conversation about Mexico, I look forward to meeting them one day.

Diagrams of the flatbed. The header board is not contoured in order to protect the leading edges of the camper . The boxes & skirting will have the exteriors rhino lined. I opted for a rear compartment 36”x 52”x 5” over a drawer for more stowage. There will be a full inner fender along with...

True, but we were full bore hard core until last summer- I’m 71 now and am still tempted! LOL

Without a winch up front we would have turned around a lot more often and never had gone to some of the most remote places in the country over the past 22 years, 11 years with a Jeep and 11 years with an 80 series more often than not, alone. Now I am considering whether to spend the money on...

Only carry one snatch block- a metal one and I used synthetic line. Metal block is good to use with sythetic line provided a wire line has never run through it. That’s a serious recovery you have diagramed there.

Virginia has given the 4WC a name. Meeshell after hearing this. A Scotsman walks into a pub on Halloween night wearing an odd looking mask. His wife is riding piggyback. The bartender asks, “ what in the hell are you supposed to be?” The Scotsman answers, “ are ya blind man? I’m a turtle!”...

Agreed about the bumper mounts. I’m always considering worst case scenarios. All my extraction gear is in one bag except the 4 d rings which are mounted on the bumpers. If on the outside chance I become disabled and another person has to step up and lead the crew it is much simpler to have only...

Not overkill if you’re comfortable with it, but way more than I’ve ever carried. ( 2 each 20 ft straps tree saver, 4 D ring shackles, pulley block, winch with 100ft line, boards, highlift, shovel, bottle jack) Get yourself a real tree saver strap. Regular straps will cut into the trees...

Your original wording could easily lead an uninformed reader to believe that it is a recent law enacted by the current unpopular PM and parliment. Thank you for clarifying. There are stupid laws everywhere, some dumber than others. Here in the states all one has to do is cross a state line...

I think I’ve mentioned that over the decades I’ve been coming in & out of Canada a few times a week. Well, if you knew me, you’d know how easily it is to strike up a conversation. I’ve spoken to more than a few agents about the bear spray / pepper / dog spray. The difference is, bear spray...

That’s actually good to know. Your random number came up and there you are.

Ya gotta wonder how that plow disk cooker company is doing now?

$1300? For a fire pit? Yikes, we are in the wrong business

As I read this out loud, my wife says; I concur!

This conversation is begining to remind me of my ex-wife. When we met in ‘76 she had all the cool hiking gear of the day, hiking pants, a day pack, hiking boots, I of course had work boots and jeans. we never hiked while dating, plenty of time later for that. Eventually we went up to a...

Agreed. Fire bans are everywhere so we will only count on using ours with propane, and usually with the lid on for baking.

Hats off to you for your build. Been there and done it and done doing it.

Update: our Grandby is built and ready to ship to NH for installation. It wasn’t supposed to be finished until the first week of April, the house closes on the 11th, so it’ll sit at 4WC until the 14th. Our flatbed will be built, installed and ready for pick up just before Easter. Ourplans...

We bought a brand new one recently as the old one was sold with our old expo trailer. The things are sturdy and easy to pack away. Do definitely get the lid so you can bake things.

Since we are headed north this summer I’m keeping a close eye on the temperature at the crossings. Getting back into the US is normally more problematic than the casual attitude of the Canadians. I’m willing to bet that Tommy was not completely honest when asked questions, the CBSA picked up...
