    The Grenadier....

    I absolutely love the design of the Grenadier, especially how it was designed from the ground up with rugged adventure in mind. I would dearly love to buy one, but with the price tag being over 100k in Canada, I highly doubt I'll ever be able to afford one lol. Oh well, I can always enjoy the...

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

    Great photos! It's awesome to see a new member getting out and adventuring, hopefully with greater confidence and skill thanks to the useful input of many here. Once you cut those useless steps off, depending on how those rails are bolted onto the truck, they will probably make decent sliders...

    Can we now just go back to just calling it “car camping”?

    I keep musing over the idea that I need to start a youtube channel called "Ghettoverlanding" because everything I use is so ghetto. Thrift store, dollar store, free store, stuff I had lying around the property when I bought it, old gear I've had since grade 10 in highschool is basically the vast...

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

    Hey there! Sadly, Ganbaru is no more. The timing belt snapped on the highway during our move from BC to Alberta last June, and all the factors invovled, one of the biggest being our need for a pickup as we bought a 5 acre property, added up to it not making sense to roll the dice on trying to...

    In Hot Pursuit

    Good illustration of why running boards are not sliders.

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I dont find guns the least bit scary. They are very simple machines that are very easy to handle safely if you follow a few very simple, easy to remember rules. I dont find chainsaws or angle grinders to be super scary either, but I'll tell you those two tools are far scarier than any firearm.

    OB Approved Members Spotted Thread

    I would say get a OB decal applied to a flexible sheet magnet.

    The Big Decision, RTT or Ground Tent

    Eureka Timberline is hands down one of the highest value tents you can buy. I bought one used when I was in the army, probably around 2003 or 2004, I've used it extensively in all kinds of conditions, including in a low profile configuration on an army range ex, and the thing is still in use to...

    BC Overland Rally 2023

    Weird, this time when I clicked it, it's showing the updated BCOR schedule. The previous two times, it was showing NWOR. Ah well, all good now! Excitement escalates :D

    BC Overland Rally 2023

    This link is still showing the old NWOR schedule. Is there going to be a new one, or will BCOR be following this one?

    BC Overland Rally 2023

    With BCOR fast approaching, I'm starting to get my kit all sorted and double checked this week, and I wanted to let everyone know I will be rolling with the CB tuned to Channel 16 and the VHF on LADD 1 all the way from home to BCOR. Feel free to hail me if you see Rumble and me cruising down the...

    One hundred thumbs up. That gear attic is freaking awesome. Genius work here.

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    The best way to ensure laws are respected is to make them respectable. The inverse is also true, as evidenced by people's changing attitudes. Unfortunately, carrying a concealed pistol is nearly impossible in Canada, even for off duty law enforcement officers, which is really quite insane, so...

    BC Overland Rally 2023

    Question: I'm hoping it's okay to bring a guest to the OB area; I have a very good friend who's coming to the Rally whom I haven't seen in about four years, so I really want to camp beside him. I figured him being around the OB people would be a great enticement to join our organization, since...

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    Well, it finally happened. My confidence overran my skill, and Rumble had an unfortunate encounter with the end of a guard rail. It was a very tight entrance into a cool little track beside a lake nearby, and on the way in I beautifully navigated around it, not touching it at all. Well on the...

    BC Overland Rally 2023

    You'll be pleasantly surprised. When I was there in 2019 there was quite a sizeable contingent of Defender 110's - there's a LandRover club in the lower mainland of BC that comes almost every year. The UK plate might not even be unique to yours, however I'm betting the other guys also have BC...
