That's just plain awesome looking, pretty much the way she sits. If it were me, I'd get a roof rack or some sort....you can never have enough room to stow stuff. And maybe a winch, depending on where you go and if you head out solo. Aside from that , I've been learning as I tread deeper into the...

I have the BackCountry Navigator Pro app on both my Galaxy S7 and my tablet. I've been using the Caltopo mapset for my travels and adventures within the US, and a couple different one for adventures up here at home in BC. I also have a Canadian topo mapset on my Garmin auto gps that acts as a...

Learning to use a HAM radio is certainly on my list down the road at some point. I'll be leaving a pretty detailed route map with my Wife, and am fairly knowledgeable with the general area. I will have to try to curtail my "hey, let's go explore way down there" mentality a bit though. It will be...

So, I 'm planning a weekend solo trip next month, and wondered (for those of you that have traveled solo) how far out of your comfort zone will you push it when by yourself, as compared to having a co-pilot, or another rig along for the adventure. Obviously getting out there by yourself requires...

They look great Michael, big thanks to you and Corrie.

The Wife just sent me a teaser text. I wonder what it could be. Happy days, happy days........

I believe their are better spots to locate the antenna than other spots. I was sort of limited to where I could ( or want to) mount mine.

Truth be told, coolness level is directly rated to nearness to British Columbia. Ha. In all honesty, I love both WA and OR. We live about 30 miles from the border and have always had a great relationship with Washington. We also love the Oregon Coast like a second home. If the lottery came...

We do what we can to make our campsite as uninteresting to those that live in the forests, common sense stuff like others have noted. All foodtuff, and cooking stuff is locked in the Xterra overnight, no food in the rtt overnight if we are in the mountains, etc. The dogs both wear bear bells...

I initially thought it may be Tyrion Lannister, but we didn't have much booze on hand....and no ladies of the evening in our camp.

Cool. Their is certainly no shortage of great little lakes and getaway spots in our Okanagan. Let me know if you are ever in the Penticton area.

We went on a 2 1/2 week 6000km adventure - road trip this past July. Prior to leaving I changed the oil and filter, changed the front and rear diff fluids, and had our local trusty mechanic do a check over and tune up. I did not know the age of the spark plugs so I had him change those. He...

What a fantastic question, thanks for thinking of posting this thread. The stories have been great to read through. For me, I'd have to say the urge to roam, to adventure, to put down tracks on the road less traveled came to me by way of my genes. My mother's father was a dispatch rider in...

The wife and I (well, her idea actually) hatched a quick plan Thursday evening to get out of town for the weekend. We decided to head back up to a small lake we had scoped out earlier in the year. I pre-packed the Xterra up Friday morning and we managed to fit into the "out of town in 20...

We have everything here...well, except for crocodiles. The lack of claw scratch marks kind of has me leaning towards cat of some sort, not really sure though.

We spent the weekend camped out up at a nice little lake in the local mountains. Aside from a couple in a small cabin down the lake we were alone, there were no other folks camped out in the vicinity. When we got home yesterday I noticed this on the Xterra. The prints were not there Saturday...

I haven't noticed any significant wind noise, but my roof rack does whistle like the daylights so I'm not sure I'd here it anyways.

We will be heading out up into the mountains after work this afternoon, and this little shotty will be accompanying us. I pretty much take it everywhere when we are out on an adventure, camping, etc...unless we are crossing into the States. It's about 31" overall (12" barrel) which makes it...

250000KM on the 07 Xterra. I keep up with the maintenance, get kind of religious about regular fluid changes, and have had no major issues as of yet. We took her on a 6000km 2 week road trip this past July and she ran like a charm. Miss X has also pulled our travel trailer down to the Oregon...
