The overland route near pemberton was on my radar last summer. With all the fires in the province we had to change plans.

There was no bottom section at the front of the rack. I could order the panel that goes in there but it would probably take 3 year to get one. Material cost was low for what I built.

Just wondering if anyone with a Jeep Wrangler is using a manual sway bar disconnect?

What is a bog out?

Trip went well. Only got down to -2 degrees Celsius. Ran the buddy heater in the vestibule to warm things up before we went to bed. No condensation problems. Good trip over all.

Cross country skis, snow shoes, and sleds.

The winter warfare course was with the reserves. There vehicles did not run a lot so none of them started after we got back to them after being in the bush for 5 days.

Not too worried about our water freezing at around 0 degrees Celsius. What would you do to keep water from freezing if the temps were say 10 degrees below freezing? I would imagine that only fill the containers 3/4 full in case it freezes? Keep the water container in the warmest area.

Thanks for the input. I took a winter warfare course when I was young so its been a few years. Just have to remember the basics.

We are taking our first cold weather trip. Only one night. Supposed to get down to -2 Celsius. Any tips for a night in our roof top tent?

I read last week that Garmin was hacked and they were locked out of some of their stuff until they paid a ransom. Can anyone give me an update?

Well after a long day on the road it’s nice to enjoy a drink lakeside.

Yes it does.

Ferry is all reserved up so it means getting up early to catch the ferry. We have an in reach so the family will know our camping situation each night. Exploration is our theme this trip. Thanks for the input.

So normally I plan trips out pretty thoroughly. Not this time. I have a rough route planned out and marked some potential camping spots in Gaia. Leaving on a long weekend probably isn't the best, but we need to get off this island for a while. Just gotta relax a little.
