    My homemade trailer.

    The Gathering -Muskoka

    Ya I was over on the far end to the right of the entrance. About 3 or 4 rigs down. I do remember seeing your setup now that I see it. I took a couple walks up and down to look at rigs and setups, get ideas, see some stuff in use... met a few people but didn't even scratch the surface on the...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    Got out on a tour with a local event. Made it through trails that the compass probably shouldn't have made it through. I'd like to say it was all skill but I'm sure there was a lot of luck! There was a lot of 2 wheel teetering lol.

    Ontario, Canada: out for a wander

    not sure about the ability to get in without an event going on.... buddy of mine was talking about renting it out for a media shoot for his company and said it was reasonably priced to rent out. I tried to get as many pictures as I could but also wanted to keep moving and didn't want to block...

    Ontario, Canada: out for a wander

    After my last "event trip" having not shower while I was there for 4 days working, I decided tonput a shower on the compass. I had another event coming up and didn't want to run into the same issue. I also finally made a bracket to mount my traction boards to the roof so that when they get...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Thank you. I have some bridges in my route that don't quite meet the trail and these help to close the gap with the tiny tires lol. Threw the brackets together on a lunch break at work.

    Recovery Gear - Basics

    It will matter what terrain as well as whether its a solo trip vs a group trip. My LJ is my solo trip rig so I carry a backpack ( easy to grab and move around) with 2 snatch blocks, winch controller, tree strap, d-ring shackles, tire plug kits, tire deflaters and some rags. Kinetic ropes...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I added a shower... because this year I have done a few events and had no shower and either have to ask to borrow friends showers in their campers, or just deal with being stinky after working all waleekend lol. It was supposed to be for a small trailer build for next year... but I have another...

    Are my wheels and tires big enough to off-road!?

    *knock on wood* I have never ad issues with sidewall punctures. Pick lines carefully, air down when needed, and keep an eye out. I have run passenger tires but I keep a full size spare and a tire plug kit handy too.
