    Dometic Fridge in Pickup Bed and Bear Country

    So it it a being in the woods problem? A bear proof cooler problem? A jeep problem? Should I forage for berries? No that would take away from the ecosystem. I better stick to the highway and McDonald's

    Dometic Fridge in Pickup Bed and Bear Country

    So what your recommending is he put the fridge in his truck at night. Locked up. .... So option number 2 in his original post. You just used a whole lot of unnecessary and condescending words to get there. Got it. I understand what you are thing to say I'm just saying you could maybe try not...

    Converting from rock crawler to overlander

    Been working on planning a trip for once things ease up a bit ( if they ever do). Something to keep myself hopeful that I'll get out on the trails again soon lol. Would be at least 4-5 days of wheeling and driving, which I hope I can get the time for at some point. I've done a very similar...

    Converting from rock crawler to overlander

    Well I have been too busy with work and looking after Jr. that I havnt had any time to look at the Jeep. I still need to re-wire the rear locker and setup a second battery. I have a sheet of steel sitting at work to build a new tailgate for it, since mine has seen better days. And I would like...

    Ontario Canada, Back roads or trails? what's your preference?

    If I were to ho this route, any suggestions for sights to see or places to visit? I am assuming with trails it would be a minimum 4-5 day trip.

    Dometic Fridge in Pickup Bed and Bear Country

    Though I agree that it is very important to leave no Trace that you were every there and leave it better than you found it. It's great to preach but adding a suggestion as to how you would go about doing so may help more than an obscure open ended post. I am going to come off a bit rude in this...

    What knives do you guys recommend?

    I always have a mora companion or mora bushcraft black with me. I have been using the same knives in my kits for close to 10 years I believe and have had 0 issues. The companion I keep as a vehicle kit knife is stainless as it gets used less often and left in the vehicle, and the bushcraft black...

    Ontario Canada, Back roads or trails? what's your preference?

    maybe I can convince my wife to come on a stock friendly trip and I could drive the daily ( compass trailhawk) depending on route.

    Ontario Canada, Back roads or trails? what's your preference?

    I'll have to keep an eye on the those rally points! I was thinking of taking a few days off work ( as well as a weekend) to make a trip around eastern, central and north westerns Ontario. head to Kingston to visit a buddy and stop off at the Wilton cheese factory for some curds, then maybe crag...

    Ontario Canada, Back roads or trails? what's your preference?

    I know there are quite a few people here from Ontario and I am curious how many people run the trail systems vs how many enjoy exploring the many back roads to find their camp spots. I tend to enjoy a challenging trail with the reward of a nice secluded camp at the end.

I have also from wedged the cooler under the Jeep when it sat a little...

    My rig

    Looks good. Doesn't need to be a huge overbuilt rig to be enjoyed! Some of my favourite rigs are the ones that break the mould lol. Iv never thought about a Sat phone and usually just suffer with no signal lol. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
