One word: Honda. In all seriousness, though, yeah there comes a point where the vehicle is just getting so long in the tooth that it's having so many costly problems that you might as well sell or scrap it and buy something newer that has a solid track record of reliability. I plan to spend...

Well, I actually made the trip today. Went all the way up to Tipella, the little first nations villages just past the end of Harrison lake. I started my day by driving up to Ten Mile Bay. The entrance was a fun little technical trail that opens to an amazing wild camp spot. I launched my ill...

The issue is that you have to pass through a heck of a lot of Canada to get to Alaska. Ironically, it's actually much easier to get a long gun into Canada than it is to get it out of the USA. Import is a $25 fee for a temporary license, which is a one page form, and as long as you have what is...

If you're putting it on the back, position 1. If you like the side better, go with 3. I put mine on the side, pretty much exactly where you're showing it.

Ray is one of our very own at OB , as a matter of fact. Wonderful family, and I'm pleased to say, friends of ours. They organize BC Overland Rally every year.

Lol sorry, homey don't play that. Plus I'm quite spoken for in any case. Thanks for the endorsement, though! I often feel far more like an American than a Canadian in many respects.

Well, I may not be an American, but I completely understand and support the US Bill of Rights, including enthusiastic endorsement of the 2nd Amendment. Even Liberal leaning Canada affirms the right to life and security of the person, but what Canada miserably fails to understand is that if you...

It probably says something really bad about me, but I lol'd for real at this visual.

Awesome shots of the fork lightning! We rarely get lightning like that where I live; it's mostly sheet lightning here. I always loved watching thunder and lightning as a kid.

Upstairs in the museum was an intriguing collection of nostalgic items from the late seventies, early 80's. I love this flag - wolf says, always do your best, kids!. My mom used a typewriter like that black one for years at work, and I still remember using rotary phones as a kid. Creepy doll...

Both are quality names, so there isn't really a wrong choice. One suggestion I would make is, if one has a scan feature, you may want to use that one. It's nice to be able to monitor traffic across the whole band rather than being forced to manually check each channel as you go. That's the one...

That seems very sensible. My problem is that she thinks it's her job to do what's needed, even when it's an animal way tougher and more dangerous lol it's probably just as well, since my wife likes to have the dog home when I'm away.

I've considered taking my dog, but she's long on guts and short on brains. Recently, she ran out the house and scrapped with a raccoon because she thought she needed to protect us. Well, she whooped the raccon and sent it running up a tree, but I had a $550 vet bill dealing with her wounds...

Frivolous and utterly baseless lawsuits seem to be a major problem in the US. Not exactly sure why, but I presume that for some reason or other, judges are failing to throw out absurd lawsuits like that. In Canada, it seems to be far less of a problem. One good thing in Canada is that as an...

I definitely agree, and actually there are many strong arguments why a heavy caliber handgun is a better choice in practical terms than a shotgun or other long gun, but at least there are some extremely compact non-res options available in Canada for a decent price. Canadaammo.com has some nice...

Yeah, it's all kinds of insane. Don't even get me started on some of the stupid laws we have in Canada about weapons and self defense. I agree about the shotgun. There are a ton of bears and cougars in my neck of the woods, and when I'm camped in the back country, my Rem 870 sleeps right beside...

If you guys want to hear something really crazy, get this: I'm a nearly 12 year law enforcement veteran who carries a pistol and 51 rounds of ammo on a daily basis, and I'm not permitted to carry off duty because Canada. When I'm in the boonies, I almost always have a non restricted firearm...

Speaking as a law enforcement officer, I recommend concealed carry where legal as a more tactically sound option. It gives you as the defender an element of surprise that you don't have when you're open carrying. Now, obviously there's a deterrent factor that comes with open carry, but be aware...

Someone needed new undies after that. Glad it wasn't far, far worse, as by the looks of things it very easily could have been.

I just googled potted meat...yeah, it pretty much is dog food. Any eats is better than no eats, I guess lol
