So... for dinner (since my wife was gone) I opened the can of spam and sliced it into six slices. Two of the slices I made into little cubes and put in the fridge to save for scrambled eggs in the morning. The rest I fried, and then sprinkled with brown sugar and pineapple chunks. Brought...

The Gazelle tents are cool (I've seen them up close), but when folded, they are almost six feet long! That won't fit in my trailer or my Jeep. 4 PERSON GAZELLE T4 HUB TENT ORANGE Collapsed: 8” x 8” x 67.5”

Another big event coming up (in my opinion) in the PNW is the annual 4x4 Swap Meet in Puyallup, WA on Sunday, 8 March (the day after, and the same place as the 39th Annual Electronic Show and Swap Meet mentioned above on 7 March). This swap meet is huge, and is geared towards the 4x4 crowd...

Yup. It is a 10x13' tent. I've had it at least 10 years, and it has served me well all across the country and up into Canada and Alaska (picture below is from Alaska about 10 years ago). Never leaked... can't say anything bad about it when in use. I've got my money's worth out of it. Still...

I've actually gone to the PNW Rally the last two summers. Had a blast both times. This last time I took my wife - she did not have as good a time (although on one day she went into Leavenworth for the day, so it kinda made up for it). I brought one of my larger tents this second time and put...

Thanks! While I love my Jeep and it is set-up to go pretty much anywhere, it is a little more work to drive with the four cylinder (mainly when pulling the trailer). The truck is more comfortable, and pretty much put it in drive and go. With the truck's true-tracs front & rear, it has always...

I'm excited! I could use a little excursion right about now. Question - earlier it was posted: "I've got several spots that will be perfect for a Saturday drive! My plan is to wake up Saturday and take a drive around the Cascades (group decision). Anyone can come, but you do not have to...

British Columbia heading up to the Yukon. It is beautiful up there - I love western Canada. The trailer is just top-loaded - no drawers or tailgate. Think of it as a big aluminum diamond plate toolbox with a hinged lid. In the shape of a WWII trailer vs. just a rectangle box with a hinged...

Spam. It's what's for dinner.

Thanks! Let me know if I can help you in any way. I literally put over 10,000 miles on this trailer this past summer/fall. Twice up into Canada (couple thousand miles total right there), and across the country in an "X" pattern (WA to FL, to PA [FourWheeler's Overland Adventure East 2019 and...

That is strange. I bought it in-store at the Sportsman's Warehouse here locally, so that's where I went to find a link. You'd think you could find it elsewhere. I think it'll be just right size for when I'm going solo and will be based somewhere for more than a day-or-two, and don't want to...

Thank-you. It is a home-made trailer. The tub is essentially a big truck-type aluminum diamond plate tool-box made in the shape of the old WWII trailers (I just like the looks). It was made by a company in NC called "Diamond Deluxe"; they make hunting dog boxes for trucks, so they made this...

Yeah; Jeeps don't have much space inside (especially a Jeep TJ). Hence a trailer solves a lot of problems.

We'll see how long it lasts. The reviews were good, and it seems pretty sturdy (I set it up in the garage to practice setting it up, and to put some waterproofing spray on the seams) and it packs up nicely into a reasonably small bundle. I could have gone a little cheaper, but they didn't seem...

I play "what if" too. But I try to re-evaluate what I used and didn't use on my last trip, and plan accordingly. But I want to be comfortable, and if I have the space (without being crowded) I'll bring it. Sometimes it is those little extra things you bring that make your trip so much more...

I bought an 8 x 10' ground tent. It should be just the right size for when it is just me. https://www.sportsmans.com/browning/browning-canyon-creek-8x10-five-person-tent/p/1258180 I have larger tents, and smaller tents (can't believe I bought another tent). The larger tents are a bit of a...

Are you thinking of running the Dempster Highway up to Tuk to the Arctic Ocean? I've run the Dempster as far as Inuvik (the road wasn't open to Tuk then). I had organized a run to "Kayak in the Arctic Ocean" this past summer, but folks bailed out at the last minute, others and I had driveline...

With my head up of course! Although by morning usually I've slid downhill and I'm all scrunched up at the bottom.

I'm thinking of bringing a kayak. Anyone else considering it since we'll be near water?

Thanks. I checked clearances - nothing rubs. But if it looks close I'll put some vacuum caps over them.
