Funny enough, since my initial post in this thread, I actually did acquire a new rig, an 06 Dodge Dakota V8, and subsequently an incredible deal on a clamshell RTT came up, and I ended up buying it.
Having lots of experience with ground tents and my cot tent, I have to say, I absolutely love...
Weird. Where are the rest of the footprints? It looks by the angle and direction of the steps that there should be more footprints behind those two.
Did you consider tracking/backtracking to see if you could tell where it came from or went?
I hear that! Weight was a massive factor with my tiny little CR-V and its 120hp 4 banger engine. It's less of a concern with my Dakota's 4.7L v8, but I keep the lessons learned from the CR-V build in mind and opt for lighter weight whenever I can.
Love you rig! I looked into getting one of those once upon a time. They're a bit hard to come by in my part of the world though. Love the build as well, very nicely kitted out.
Hey, brother! Thanks for the kind words, and thank you for your service :)
I often joke that I should start a youtube channel called "Ghettoverlanding" because all my gear is pretty dirt cheap, including my rigs. Ganbaru cost me $1800 Canuck bucks, which was a steal of a deal, but even now a...
A torrential, unrelenting downpour began at around 2200h the previous night and was still going by 0730 the next morning. We had forgotten to move the chairs under the canopy, so they and virtually everything else was drenched. Nearly the whole bay was socked in with low cloud and mist. Given...
The weather continued to be overcast with occasional drizzles when we awoke the next morning. After a good breakfast and some coffee, we packed up camp and headed off back the way we came. Our next target of the expedition was a ghost town on the Skeena River named Port Essington. My map recce...
I had an interesting experience in the woods of BC which at the time I didn't think of as a bigfoot encounter.
I had taken a couple of my kids up East Harrison for a bush campout for a couple of nights, and despite it being unfortunately quite busy in the area, we managed to find a nice little...
Wow, absolutely spectacular view! What a striking rock formation! The full on desert landscape is something we don't have in Canada, although parts of the interior of BC come very close.
Awesome trip to a part of the world I'm not likely to see, but then, who knows. Your blues sound track seemed very fitting for the desert landscape, somehow. Love your rig - those pop up campers are a pretty swanky option if they work for your needs. I wouldn't mind one myself except that my rig...
