    Bigfoot

    Not at all. Eyewitness accounts are evidence, and while some of them have proven unreliable, many are from very credible people and have the ring of truth, as it were. Also, there are some pieces of phyiscal and photographic evidence out there, just not much that's very good or definitive. So...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Yep, the gun ban is absolute garbage and illegal use of an OIC. Does absolutely nothing to further public safety and only violates the property rights of law abiding gun owners. Don't want to get too far into politics or anything, just wanted to say you're 100% right.

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I never go out in the bush without a firearm, as a rule. Usually a 12 gague shotgun. Primarily for bears and cougars, but just in case it's equally effective against 2 legged varmints. So far, I'm very glad to say I haven't had to use it, despite being surrounded by signs of bear activity in...

    Bigfoot

    I agree it may be the most likely explanation, and yet on the other hand there are many accounts from very credible people that defy that explanation. I agree that many, perhaps most bigfoot sightings are likely hoaxes, or overactive imaginations at work, but to say that ALL of them are gets to...

    Bigfoot

    Well, truthfully there are some fairly strange videos and pictures purportedly of bigfoot that have staunchly defied being debunked by analysis, but your point is well taken. It's a perplexing question, for sure. On the one hand, some very large animals have remained unknown until well into the...

    Bigfoot

    Funny enough, I realize I haven't posted my "probably not bigfoot, but others immediately said bigfoot" story. I had taken a couple of the kiddos out on an overnight bush camp on the shores of a very large lake in a part of BC that is renowned as Sasquatch country, so much so in fact that the...

    Bigfoot

    I wonder if that might have been a bugling elk or something.

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    1st gen is best gen :D One of my fav vehicles I've ever owned, possibly number 1, with my 06 Dodge Charger vying for that spot. If Honda engineered a vehicle as awesome as the RD1 when they weren't even trying to make a "true off roader", I'm sad they didn't actually set out to make the ultimate...

    What knives do you guys recommend?

    CRKT Firespark is my favourite EDC knife. Very cool mechanism and it looks slick as anything. I have a Kershaw Blur for more rough work, it has a tanto with a semi serrated edge. The sharpest pocket knife I own is my Higo no Kami, an amazing japanese knife that's baiscally a pocket katana. That...

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    I have a first generation one, and definitely it has a decent cargo area even with the rear seats up, but you can fold the rear seats almost flat and have a huge cargo area. Also, on some of the first generation, you can fold the seats into a flat, albeit slightly slanted bed. All you have to do...

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    I absolutely LOVE that generation of Tracker. I almost bought one when I was first looking for a 4x4. It was between that and my CR-V. The Tracker had an oil leak and some rust, unfortunately, so I went with the V. It's all about space efficiency when it comes to these little rigs. Carefully...

    OB Approved US Comms - An Introduction to your communication options

    Thank you for this awesome breakdown of the comms options available to our dear neighbors from the south. I'm always so jelly of GMRS rules in the US. In Canada, we're relegated to the same crappy specs for GMRS as you list here for FRS. Those of us who don't want to pay a license fee are...

    2012 Nissan Juke AWD/CVT

    I think probably what this represents is the way time and technology march on and things improve and bugs get worked out. Long ago, people used to slag automatic transmissions as unreliable and prone to failure, as well as being prone to running away on steep descents, and while that was true...

    Horror Stories and getting in over your head on the Trail.

    Dang, that's harrowing! Knowing your terrain/climate is important too. We generally don't get rhat sort of flash flooding in my part of the world, but I know it's very common in some places.
