Considering the Ozark Trail 52 qt is less than half the cost of the Cabelas cooler, I'd say it did pretty amazing. It's really not fair to say that the Coleman outperformed the 72 qt OT cooler considering it's 20 qts smaller with the same volume of ice to start. Having said that, it's a useful...
It sounds cliche, but in my experience it's 100% true. Don't bother looking, because when you least expect it, the right one will appear. I used to say it was total BS, until my now wife of 12 years called me by name out of nowhere one evening.
In your wanderings, you'll come across some woman...
The Kitsault Rec Centre, which as near as we could tell, also functioned as the elementary school. The windows facing the front of the building appeared to be classrooms. The playground looked like a snapshot right out of my childhood, as all the playgrounds near my home as a child were of this...
I debated long and hard what setup to go with when I started doing vehicle based exploration. For many reasons, this is what I settled on:
It's a cot tent. I paid $50 Canuck bucks for it from Walmart. Keeps me off the ground, allows storage space underneath, keeps me nice and dry, and it's...
A lot of people enjoy both technical off-roading and overlanding. Brad from Trail Recon is a perfect example of that. He does a lot of rock crawling over insane terrain, but he also loves to do overlanding where the drive isn't as technical, but the journey takes him through some incredible...
Well, a long time ago I thought that if I ever owned a boat of any sort, I would name it Jolly Rovin Tar, after the old sea song, so maybe I'll do that.
I still haven't thought of a name for my overwater rig. Not 100% sure I will name it, although I have a couple of ideas of what I might call it. Here's some pics from its latest adventure. Had to launch from some very challenging terrain, but it came through pretty much unscathed.
My adventure...
Welcome aboard a great brotherhood of wanderers! If you're ever in BC, drop a line. Thank you for your service, and best of luck with pursuing the nomadic life full time. :)
We started our exploration of Kitsault with the hospital. Just as I was unlocking the door, a bewildered groundskeeper drove up and gawked at us. "You have the key for that?" he asked. Clearly he didn't get the memo, so we explained that we were guests of the caretakers, and asked with a smile...
We arrived around noon and drove to the caretaker's house as instructed. She wasn't in when we arrived, so we ate a light lunch and took in the stunning views all around us.
The view from the front of the house toward Alice Arm tidal flat. The concrete structures just visible in the low ground...
We woke up fairly early the next morning and headed out, and before long we were turning onto the remote Cassiar Highway. Within only a couple of KMS of turning on to the Cassiar, we saw a young black bear right by the side of the road. We were in bear country, indeed, and we would be seeing a...
Hello all!
Finally found a few moments to get started on a trip report of our recent expedition to Northwestern BC, to the ghost towns of Kitsault and Alice Arm. The idea for this trip began over a year ago when I first heard about Kitsault. Founded back in 1981 by Amax Mining Corporation...
