My requirements for any tent is the ability to peg it down and have multiple guy wires. This one met that requirement. One problem with it was the vertical poles are steel (weight isn't an issue so that's fine), but the poles going across the top are fiberglass.... had a heck of a storm and a...

I use this portable toilet... with a wife and 2 little girls this has worked very well. It's a bit low to the ground, which makes the bowels happy... but standing up after requires some core muscles, lol. We tried the 3 legged version and it was way too unsteady...

If you are camping in the backwoods and are able to dig a hole, you could find a shady spot and dig a hole so that just the lid is above ground level. I also keep my beer chilling in a nearby stream prior to putting them into the cooler.... *shhhhhh!:tonguewink:

Good points already posted.... one thing I would add... ensure your exhaust pipe is free of obstructions (snow). If you slide into a large snowbank or into the ditch it may get plugged up. Those slow burning, relatively smokeless emergency candles can be a lifesaver too. I would also crack...

I can steer you in a few directions ;) (That's my camping spot in the distance... the beach)

I really like my ARB rack... it's the full sized rack with the mesh grid. I can stand up there and ratchet strap stuff down with ease. It's extremely sturdy. The only downfall for it would be that it is a bit taller than the Gobi rack.... so guys with smaller garage doors may have problems...

I have the bluetop Optima in the front and also a matching on in the back... all wired up together. It's the biggest I could cram into that space in the engine bay. It's 900 CCA and has I think 135 RC. I have also swapped out my alternator diode to trick the alternator (high output alternator...

Thx guys. If you have any suggestions for camping adventures in a days drive (or 2) from the Manitoba/US border that's off the beaten path (preferably VERY off the beaten path) please don't hesitate to mention it here or pm me. We're at the stage now that we would like to explore other places...

Hey guys and gals, Just signed up after viewing the Overland Bound youtube video I liked what the message was and the overall theme of this website. I'm an active member of the fjcruiserforums and have done a bit of 4x4'ing and Expedition "Overlanding". I'm always talking to people about...
