I keep musing over the idea that I need to start a youtube channel called "Ghettoverlanding" because everything I use is so ghetto. Thrift store, dollar store, free store, stuff I had lying around the property when I bought it, old gear I've had since grade 10 in highschool is basically the vast...

Hey there! Sadly, Ganbaru is no more. The timing belt snapped on the highway during our move from BC to Alberta last June, and all the factors invovled, one of the biggest being our need for a pickup as we bought a 5 acre property, added up to it not making sense to roll the dice on trying to...

Good illustration of why running boards are not sliders.

I dont find guns the least bit scary. They are very simple machines that are very easy to handle safely if you follow a few very simple, easy to remember rules. I dont find chainsaws or angle grinders to be super scary either, but I'll tell you those two tools are far scarier than any firearm.

I would say get a OB decal applied to a flexible sheet magnet.

Eureka Timberline is hands down one of the highest value tents you can buy. I bought one used when I was in the army, probably around 2003 or 2004, I've used it extensively in all kinds of conditions, including in a low profile configuration on an army range ex, and the thing is still in use to...

Weird, this time when I clicked it, it's showing the updated BCOR schedule. The previous two times, it was showing NWOR. Ah well, all good now! Excitement escalates :D

This link is still showing the old NWOR schedule. Is there going to be a new one, or will BCOR be following this one?

With BCOR fast approaching, I'm starting to get my kit all sorted and double checked this week, and I wanted to let everyone know I will be rolling with the CB tuned to Channel 16 and the VHF on LADD 1 all the way from home to BCOR. Feel free to hail me if you see Rumble and me cruising down the...

One hundred thumbs up. That gear attic is freaking awesome. Genius work here.

The best way to ensure laws are respected is to make them respectable. The inverse is also true, as evidenced by people's changing attitudes. Unfortunately, carrying a concealed pistol is nearly impossible in Canada, even for off duty law enforcement officers, which is really quite insane, so...

Question: I'm hoping it's okay to bring a guest to the OB area; I have a very good friend who's coming to the Rally whom I haven't seen in about four years, so I really want to camp beside him. I figured him being around the OB people would be a great enticement to join our organization, since...

Well, it finally happened. My confidence overran my skill, and Rumble had an unfortunate encounter with the end of a guard rail. It was a very tight entrance into a cool little track beside a lake nearby, and on the way in I beautifully navigated around it, not touching it at all. Well on the...

Picture added for reference:

You'll be pleasantly surprised. When I was there in 2019 there was quite a sizeable contingent of Defender 110's - there's a LandRover club in the lower mainland of BC that comes almost every year. The UK plate might not even be unique to yours, however I'm betting the other guys also have BC...

I'll have my OB Base Camp flag up on my grey and black Dakota with a hardshell RTT, definitely drop by and say hi if you get a chance!

Sorry, what I meant was that your adventure cat is the third one I've encountered, as I met another OB member and someone else at BCOR who had advenure cats. Ours was a dog, Chinese bonemouth Shar Pei. This is a pic of her:

This is the third adventure cat I've seen. Having owned three cats in my life, I can day I am very impressed to see this! Sadly, a couple of months ago our sweet old Shar Pei suddenly developed a massive tumor in her chest and ultimately had to be put down. Since then, we got this young chap...

In the US a license is required. Not so in Canada. I would be curious to know if the channels/frequencies are the same in the US and Canada or not.

I know this is a HAM vs CB discussion, but given the flow of the conversation, I wanted to throw something out there, particularly for us Canucks. There's a third option that is very popular with a lot of off roaders, and that is to have a VHF radio programmed with the LADD and FSR channels...
