Interesting thread, in BC most groups have gone Ham. CB is all but dead in and GMRS and FRS simply do not seem have much of an adoption rate. Part of the reason I suspect for ham popularity up here is the logging companies are all on VHF, and those trucks will call thier KM markers and do not...

@JimBill Knives that is a whole other discussion, but I carry a 40 year old Buck 110 and a 45 year old Gerber Mk1. The Gerber is in a modern sheath canted at about 40 deg, slides in right beside the seat belt nice as you please.

I have 2 water cans 1 5 gallon and 2.5 gallon which on I carry depends on the trip length. Water filters are tough, as it depends what kind of water source you are filtering. Here in BC most water, away for civilization is clear so the issue is contaminants, then you get into micron sizes...

I do not travel with a dog but travel with a lot of folks who do. The dog is always inside, generally on the passenger seat or the back seat. A fellow with a older series Land rover has 2 Burmese, and they ride in the back. Safety is not too much of an issue, if the dogs have room to settle...

The summer "Guest Cottage" is occupied, better known as the back deck. 1st up is a mostly blind mom, she has lost 1 eye and the other is very milky but she still raised 4 kits and did not lose on last year And a little later one of the kits from last year showed up, there was some...

@Mikeblack No, the usb fans pull all of 5 volts, and I do not get that much moisture. When I slept inside the truck I opened the window closest to me and put the fan in the blowing out, then opened the window on the other side for cross draft. My fan in about 4 inches across, it works pretty...

I will be 1st :blush: open a window, and a small electric fan it is all about air flow. I use a usb powered one and a cell phone pack, works well

@Lanlubber the video link does not work for me takes me to a search page

Last year up the Squamish river in BC, I have not been out this year

@Lanlubber I had a head gasket issue in December the head gasket was just letting go literally, I had no over heat and some over pressure, just enough to spew AF out of the overflow. I fixed that in the driveway under an improvised shelter in January /Feb great fun but nor really hard. Prior...

I have : Heavy weight sleeping bag Wool blanket Heavy fleece blanket I just layer as required, it has been good down to about -4 F, generally I just need the sleeping bag and fleece to start once I am warm the fleece tends to get shoved off. I would provide pictures but it I stored for the...

Little stuff :blush: Discovery II with the aluminum V8 I was running a bit hot 206 at idle over 197 pre head gasket repair. Replaced : Radiator - mine was 7 years old and of unknown status Thermostat Black 78C - the aftermarkets are really all over the place Temps are nice now at 183 to 185...

@rumbledawg nice thing about PWN lighting is not that common, so I will take my chances, I am with you I do not hunt other than with my camera.

Grizzly are tough I have had them run like hell when they saw me and stand up tall then drop down and huff. They are why I stopped ground camping though I had one wander through my camp site I spent the rest of night not very comfortable inside my truck. Just added RTT for comfort, getting...

@Autism Family Travels a couple of things : Get the big bear spray not the little one abour the size of a big can of spry paint Bear bangers they need to land close and in front of the bear - not behind You an get an emergency air horn they work reasonably well Finally get and read a book...

That is a big area lots of places to travel but it largely depends where you actually are. I have traveled most if it at one time or another, you can get close to Banff traveling FSR's but it can get tricky. I will post some ideas in the Am.

@Super T we (Canadians) can own pistols but range use only. The firearm of choice is a short barreled shotgun, 14 inch barrel 5 shot in my case, or a large caliber lever action. Given the current goverment madness show long those will last is anyone guess. But nothing up here can be used...

I won a Fiskers spliting axe last year that is one nice piece of kit , I also carry a bog standard "cutting" axe. They both get a fair bit of use, chainsaws work but I find swinging an axe pretty stress relieving.

Just do all the paper work at the border, and you should not have any issues

Hi, just look at overlanding as extended camping trips. In the end that what it really is, just wish I could get to Aus and New Zealand
