    Dispersed Camping in BC and Canada in general?

    I should add, if you are able to share your planned route, I would have an easier time suggesting specific spots that might be good.

    Dispersed Camping in BC and Canada in general?

    Heyo! Dispersed camping is most definitely a huge thing in Canada, it just is not generally called that. I think most people call it Bush Camping. In Canada, basically everything that isn't private land, a municipality, park or a reserve is known as "Crown Land." From my understanding, it's...

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    I went with 235/75/15 on the stock alloy wheels. It doesn't rub under normal driving, but it's tight. I'm probably going to massage the wheel wells in the back and probably put a spacer on the trailing arm pivot to make a bit more room. There's a slight loss of power with these tires, but...

    Sweet build. Got that tire where it belongs on the back!

    Fantastic! What an awesome adventure, with some spectacular photos for all of us to enjoy. You're very blessed to have such a loyal and gorgeous pupper to adventure with, too :) To me, this is what overlanding is all about. Campsites are fine in their way, but personally I much prefer being way...

    Hello

    Welcome aboard! Lots of knoweldge and good info to be found on OB. I currently live in the North, near Smithers, but I hail from the LMD. Grew up in N.Van and began my off roading career in Chilliwack, so I have some decent local knowledge of the places you would most likely go wheeling.

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    New shoes on: It's a little tight, but under normal driving, it doesn't rub. I think more bashing with the BFH and possibly a spacer on the trailing arm pivot to move that tire back a bit. Overall very happy. I also went out to the bush and did a little hill climb to test out how much power...

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    I considered all kinds of different ideas lol I've seen some footage of a guy in Ontario who mounted a 3000lb winch upside down on the factory bumper core winching himself out of a pretty deep, nasty, steep bog hole with no issues. This setup is going to be significantly stronger than that, and...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Now that is very slick, especially for a DIY. I might have to pick your brain on that sometime.

    Discretion is the better part of valour, I always say. There is a time and circumstance to push the limits and see what your rig is capable of overcoming. By yourself hundreds of miles from civilization is not that time or circumstance. There have been many times where I've been "pretty...

    BC Roverlanders Canol Road expedition 2009!

    I actually considered buying a back issue of that, although it's $20 so I'm not sure I want to spend that much, especially since it's a 2 parter and since I now have these videos.

    1993 Suzuki Sidekick JLX

    Sick build. I absolutely love those Sidekicks - I almost bought one when I got my CR-V, but the sidekick had rust on the rockers and an oil leak, so I ended up going with the V.

    Brilliant! Glad you got out of that harrowing experience with the good humor to share it :) I recently learned that "corn snow" the slushy, patchy, granular snow condition found in the mountains in June when the melt is on, is very deceptive, nasty stuff. The first few patches are shallow and...
