    Ontario, Canada: out for a wander

    Depending on how much travel you are wanting to do. Hungry Lake/Granite lake both are amazing for camping and fishing.

    Dehydrated vs freeze drying foods

    I find that dehydrating food before the trip does take time but you gain 75%-85% of that back on the trip in the fact that you can almost eliminate your cooking time and if packed properly you can also reduce your needed dishes to a spork per person. Yes, carrying water adds weight to the...

    Coachmen TD 9.0

    The town has changed but our house has been here since the late 1800's per the archives. We are right on the main drag across from the Highschool. We needed the 12.0 as our family is 4 kids, two dogs plus the wife and I. The kids will inherit the RTT set up as it works better for them anyhow...

    Field Comms

    That is very true. I used to work in aviation so i had to get all my comms licenses for use in that and have spoken to both the coastguard and other SAR here in Canada. If a true emergency you can broadcast on the freq and get help as well

    Field Comms

    Do you have a HAM license already? I noticed you are also Canadian. The best set up I have seen for use here is a UHF/VHF Radio. I have the GMRS FREQS programed along with Coastguard and CF SAR. if you don't have training on radio procedures stick with GMRS to start and get some further comms...

    As the title says I am looking for people who want to run trails together. I am not brand new to this but am finding myself having difficulty finding new people to explore with. I have one dedicated friend but as of late he is getting into the more extreme trails and well... I still have to...

    Water tank to fit in LPG tank storage spot?

    i have an old one that i may do this with but without the cutting. I will need to see if i can unscrew the valve first and then figure out a pick up tube to standard garden hose connection. If it works maybe go forward and create something for the market? I know there are 100's of...

    Water tank to fit in LPG tank storage spot?

    I love this idea. I know you are looking for a square set up but now I wonder could it be possible to refit an out of date LPG Tank into a fresh water tank? That is 4Gal/17L give or take of onboard water and if it could be pressurized it would make for a very convenient water source assuming...
