Hello all
I’m Steve (63yrs) located a few miles from dead center of Canada, in Ste Anne, Manitoba. If I travel to the west its flat through the Prairies for hundreds of miles but once over the Prairies either east or west its trees, rivers and lakes till you hit the east or west coast, amazing country to explore. Plus free backwoods camping is pretty much everywhere: anywhere an hour or two north of the US border.
Not yet retired but soon. My Bucket List items all focus around fishing, duck hunting, foraging and cooking up fresh wild foods as I explore North America. I’m anxious to do the west coast from BC down to Baja. Can’t wait to get to the west coast where I can dig clams, snorkel for crab and lobster, plus all that surf and coastal fishing.
Currently have a 1994 Mazda B3000 4x4 truck (350Klm) with a cap on it. Its stock no extras, not even a winch, carry a come-a-long. Roof racks for whatever watercraft I’m taking along at the time, either a Kayak, SportsPal Canoe or my 16’ Cargo Canoe with an outboard.
I’ve built a very basic sleep and storage unit in the truck bed but so far I prefer to keep my gear in there and sleep in a hammock with a buy screen, very comfortable. No end of places to go free camping here or new places to explore so lots of opportunity to practice living out of this truck.
I hope to learn what rig I need to get next so I can do more extensive, long term (1-3 months out) touring and exploring. So far it might be a Toyota 4Runner so I’m not having to get out of the cab to get something, just seems more practical and secure to go with a rig I can move about in. Also considering an Astro 4x4 van.
Any members traveling through my neck of the woods are welcome to stop by for advise on places to see or camp or park in my back yard overnight to use the facilities.
