  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Cabela's cooler lock (Hack?)

    Unrelated note, Port Townsend is my hands down favourite place in WA state. :D

    Expedition to Kitsault and Alice Arm

    Awesome! Welcome aboard, brother! I'm glad you shared these. You should consider adding an OB badge to that beast of a 4x4 you've got :D

    Expedition to Kitsault and Alice Arm

    Funny you should mention that, because after the fact, in looking back at the photos, I noticed they had a Vancouver phone book. I should have looked up my parents, because I bet you anything their number is in there! Lol Maybe some former residents will find this thread. :)

    Expedition to Kitsault and Alice Arm

    Especially in this location, the vegetation grows in at an incredible rate. All the back yards in Kitsault were overrun with 5 foot high weeds anywhere the caretakers weren't constantly battling to keep them at bay. There's definitely something amazing about the direct link to the past and the...

    Expedition to Kitsault and Alice Arm

    As was previously mentioned, we noticed the overgrown track leading up to Dolly Varden House on our way in, not realizing what lay at the top of it. Now, acting on a tip from our friendly local, we headed up into the bush and without much difficulty we were quickly greeted with the imposing...

    Expedition to Kitsault and Alice Arm

    Thanks for the kind words you guys! Sorry it's taken me so long to get everything posted, but life has been fast and furious lately. Working on the next installment now.

    Expedition to Kitsault and Alice Arm

    We pressed on through the town and found ourselves in a modern day mining camp at the town's northern outskirts. We had an interesting chat with the miners who informed us that with modern technology, valuable minerals can be extracted from once derelict mines that were unobtainable by miners of...

    Land Rover Discover 2...buy or don’t buy that is the question?

    Good for you, man! Honestly, the Disco is hands down one of the most awesome looking 4wd's ever built. If they were built better and didn't have such major issues, I would buy one in a second. I think you'll enjoy yours when you find it (and you'll curse it bitterly when something fails on you...

    The 4wd Action crew switched over from that to Iron Jack a few months back. Perhaps the cause of the decline! lol

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Dang, that sucks! Were you really speeding that bad, or is that just the socialist nanny state overstepping itself again?

    My grandfather’s stove- reborn

    That's awesome. Great job on the restoration. Seems to be in excellent shape overall, so your effort was well worth it I would say. We used those stoves for winter exercises when I was in the army. They're nearly bomb proof.

    No coffee for me.... but for my wife. Best Press?

    Mine was a cheapo from the dollar store for $3. Chinese knockoff basically. So far so good and at least according to the package, it's BPA free :)

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I learned some valuable lessons with my rig today (from 2am to 6am). When buddy posts an SOS on the facebook group asking for a tow and says "I just need a tow up a little hill to get out" the questions you must ask are "send me pics of the hill, and how deep in are you?." I got the perception...

    No coffee for me.... but for my wife. Best Press?

    If you haven't considered it, I highly recommend a collapsible silicone pour over. I used to use a french press, and I still like it, but it's a severe mess to clean up and wastes a lot of water. The pour over is SO simple and cleans up in literally two seconds with a dribble of water.

    Anyone Name Their Overwatering Rig?

    Here's the overwatering rig I want! :D Some are insanely expensive, but I found one in BC listed for 34k that looks like it would totally fit my CR-V. DO WANT.

    Snow Travel

    +1 for snow chains. Key importance. Best to get really rugged snow chains, as the cheap cable style ones don't hold up as well off road. They will work, but not as good as the rugged, heavy duty ones. I have the cheap cable ones because I'm poor lol

    Overland Gear For Winter: How to Prepare for Cold!

    Winter camping is spectacular. It's so breathtakingly beautiful, peaceful and silent, especially at night. Amazing experience.

    Coyote Works

    Exciting stuff! Best of luck to my OB brothers, I know you'll represent us well. If only I could make the trip! :D

    Windshield Pics...

    Holy Mackerel! That first one looks STEEP! Given how nothing ever looks as steep on camera as it really is, this thing must be vertical! O_O
