Just to be clear the incident above was part of 3 killings by 2 individuals - very much a case of wrong place at the wrong time. Sad result of of 2 obviously unhinged individuals as they chose suicide we will never know why.

Eggs and Farmers sausage - breakfast time.

Placer Lake region of BC, 15 Jun yes there was snow :). Camo tarp was a test wind/rain guard worked really well.

Just be willing to hop out recce the road and turn around if conditions warrant, then ground clearance becomes less of an issue.

That seems like a bad design choice

I have ask why, not a jeep guy. Is that under powered, I would not think you would gain much

Easy part of a water crossing

At 8 to 9 inches I would think you would be fine in most cases, as noted it is really about picking a line to avoid obstacles. Here in BC you Subaru's and similar vehicles on forest services roads and more complex tracks a fair bit. But most the Main FSR's here are like bad gravel roads, even...

I thought I would update now that I have spent 2 nights in the rain in my RTT and had to setup and take down in weather. Still like it over a ground tent and it is better than sleeping inside, given my Discovery is not a dedicated off road truck a permanent inside setup was not an option. But...

We saw a lot of deer on our 3 day trip, this guy did not even move, other than to lift his head as 7 Land Rover's trundled past.

I tried a few quick methods that allow me to make coffee in a few minutes with minimal cleanup during, I hate instant coffee. I tried the teabag style not a fan, too weak lacked flavor. I then tried the Borsa style single serving drip, it comes in a small palm sized packet, that includes...

Most axes come is pretty standard length, 28 to 36 inches. Shorter is better for control I checked, my Fiskers splitting axe is 36 and my regular axe 34. 31/ 34 would work pretty well for most things. But if you splitting would that Fiskers makes short work of it, it really is an excellent...

I think some is comfort, I was telling the folks in my club I used to toss a few clothes in canvas carry all, a sleeping bag, coleman 2 burner white case stove and food in the back of a beat land cruiser J40 (500.00 special 40 years ago) and go for a week. But 40 years on I need some comfort...

6000 ft in the Placer Mountain area of BC, Sunday June 14th 2020 snowed harder a little later

When it rains :grin:, You need something with a good gasket but they tend to be expensive if they actually work. I had a couple of old surplus military hard cases that sealed well after I fixed up the gaskets. You could try kayak and boating outfits, they generally have a some options that...

Thanks for posting those images that was my plan for removal in the fall but I was wondering how to secure the 2x4 that will work perfectly.
