We camped here when we did the Mineral Creek/Engineer Pass option of the Alpine Loop. It was an amazing place to camp (frosty in July) and it allowed us to hit Engineer pass first thing in the morning, before anyone else had come up the mountain. 37.961626, -107.594282

That was from last July (July 1st = Canada Day appropriatly enough). I was with my Wife and our 2 dogs. 8500+km in 3 and a bit weeks. Trip of a lifetime for me. This year I took the dogs (Wife had to work) and spent 2 weeks chasing remote beaches and back country campsites down logging roads on...

A little, but truly spectacular as well.. ...... 69.350338, -133.034002

After a 1000 miles of continuous washboard, rutted, and pitted gravel roads I'll take my aftermarket shocks over the stock ones any day of the week. And for what it's worth, nothing else has broken due to the addition of better shocks. Personally speaking though, you know.

Truck on a flat dirt road? I resemble that remark....

Thanks for the read. We live here in BC and spend most of our leisure time outdoors, so interaction with wildlife is just going to happen. I recently came back from a 2 week back country trip roaming around Northern Vancouver Island with the dogs. Black bears are everywhere, wolves are known...

Elk Bay Rec Site, looking out onto Johnstone Straight on the East Coast of Vancouver Island

Set up for a couple days at Naka Creek rec site on the east coast of Vancouver island.

We just got back from 2 weeks spent exploring the remote beaches, back country and forestry roads of Northern Vancouver Island.

The road to Holberg on the North West tip of Vancouver Island. And yes, the logging trucks up here look just like this, and take up their whole road. You learn to find the best spot in the ditch as quickly and safely as you can.

We have a wok at home and use it all the time. It's great for stir fry's. But you can't cook one thing in a wok, then push it up to the side to stay warm (say bacon), then cook another and also push it up to the side to stay warm (say potatoes), then cook your eggs. All on the same surface. It's...

Find a dirt road. Follow it until it ends. Repeat.

I have a question. Do millennials know they are millennial or do they require an app to tell them?

We gave up on cooking hash browns/potatoes with our breaky awhile ago and haven't missed them. We make sure to buy a good loaf of bread to go with breakfast, and have enjoyed it more than before.

I'm not sure what a flash bang is. A bear banger is, like a small pen sized zip gun, with a small percussion projectile charge on the end. It is about as loud as a shotgun blast.

And it isn't all about him? How naive of you. Ha.

I'm not under any illusion that even though I try to be as prepared as I can, and always be aware of my surroundings (as well as aware of my dogs and their reactions in a given area) that we could still be attacked by wildlife while in their home. I still dont see why I shouldnt be prepared with...

I have the AT Overland 10 pound tank holder mounted to the outside of my camper. They also make a 5 pound tank holder. It's pretty universal and you could easily sort out mounting it to pretty much anything.

I envy your brown bear sightings. We didn't see a single one on our journey north last summer. Black bears were everywhere on the Alaska Hwy in Northern BC. Our favorite wildlife sightings were the very cool little red foxes that seemed to always be carrying something furry and edible, the...

I thought the big brake kit only works with 20" wheels? I may be mistaken though.
