My two most recent ones:

This was the way in to our camp site on our recent expedition:

Finished driving the over 2717 kms of my Expedition to Alice Arm and Kitsault, BC.

I used it on my recent expedition, and DANG, I got it sharper than I realized! I was able to slice through inch thick trees with one swing! It also seemed that the improvement I made to the edge by filing, sharpening and stropping actually made it stronger somehow, because the edge didn't suffer...

4WD is a major advantage, that much is undeniable. Having said that, what is more important is understanding the capabilities and characteristics of your vehicle, having strong driving skills and good ability to read terrain, and one of the biggest keys is having very good tires and airing them...

Mine is 20 years old this year. I was 17 when it rolled off the assembly line (No, I haven't owned it all that time lol) I love it :D

Hello all I thought I'd do a quick little first impressions/first use review of my new Coast Machete: I bought this nice little machete for 20 Canuck bucks from Home Depot Canada. It has a 14 inch stainless steel blade with a full tang, overmolded heavy duty polymer grip, sawback design, and...

I have a single person cot tent and I love it. It weighs 25 lbs and is very comfortable, easy to set up, and has easily withstood 3 days of fairly steady rain with zero issues. They also make a 2 person version. I got mine on sale for $50 Canuck Bucks, shipped to my door. If I wanted something...

What I really want to buy next is an OME lift spring set and billstien shocks, but that's not likely to be the case lol

I could try it for kindling, but the sawback might make that difficult. We get massive overgrowth of brambles, devil's club and other nasty weeds around here, so it's nice to be able to slash those away from trails without touching them. I might post a review once I get the chance to use it a bit.

I think the blade on the Coast one is 14", which is a bit short for certain applications, but I plan to use it for clearing overgrown trails, so it should be good

Is this the one you saw? It's the only similar one I can find on sportsman's guide: United Cutlery Colombian Survival Bolo Machete - 706789, Saws, Axes & Machetes at Sportsman's Guide

Well this one has a full Tang and the handle is heavy-duty polymer molded around and through the Tang so I don't see why it wouldn't hold up. I guess we'll see.

Machete. Seems to get good reviews - it arrives for pickup at Home Depot on Thursday. We'll see how it does.

Hi all, I'm currently trying out Locus Maps as I'm not very impressed with Gaia Maps. I've heard it mentioned here, but it doesn't seem to have its own discussion thread. Any users here who can comment on the functionality of it, especially for North America? I've got the free version...

Looks awesome! Perfect match.

So jelly of you 'muricans and your awesome GMRS regs down there. I recently wrote to Industry Canada urging them to harmonize with the US in terms of GMRS specs.

Dang, I bet that thing gets roasting inside there in the summer, being all black like that! Congrats on the buy, though, I'd say it's a good value for money as long as the camper is in good shape and the engine is good.

I re-affirmed the value of checking over your rig before going to the bush. I was checking and topping up the oil (she's 20 years old, so she oozes a bit of oil) I noticed some liquid puddling on top of the transmission. A quick inspection confirmed it was coolant, and the culprit was a big...

Speaking as a 12 year LE veteran in Canada, we have several profoundly moronic or severely flawed laws and regs that I have to enforce on a daily basis. It's very frustrating, but the rule of law, the cherished legacy and cornerstone of western civilization, demands that I enforce the laws as...
