That's a rather blanket generalization. A lot of the remote places that overlanders go, there is nobody else for hundreds of miles around whose "peace and quiet" would be disturbed. I'm as much about protecting sensitive areas as anyone else. I would never camp on Cheam's alpine meadows, for...

Lol it was only there for a few minutes after bedtime for the pic, but I'm planning to take them out for its maiden voyage pretty soon, maybe even Sunday or Monday if the weather is good.

This is an inexpensive but fairly good quality raft built with fishing in mind: Intex Mariner 3 (also comes slightly bigger in the mariner 4)

I love kayaks and canoes and have a fair bit of experience exploring and even camping from both, in days gone by. My recent Overwater Bound rig is this: Intex Mariner 3. I bought the motor mount for it, and along with a few mods, I plan to fit a 4hp 2 stroke motor for extended range.

I haven't seen anything on here to suggest it isn't.

I would say that backpacking is not so much about "simple" as it is about "light" for the obvious reason that ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. The selection of gear is heavily influenced by size and weight constraints primarily for that reason. There are some pretty skookum pieces of...

I started out backpacking, and I still go hiking now. I find that the 4x4 extends my range immensely and lets me explore areas that I could never reach on foot alone. I still enjoy day hikes, and actually have a plan to do an overnight camping trip that begins with the rig, but launches off on...

I actually saw one of those for sale recently. It was the first time I had ever seen one. I thought it would be awesome for overlanding because of the extra cargo room, kinda like a tiny troopy

This thread definitely underscores how blessed I am to live so close to such amazing wilderness.

15 minute drive from my front door in some cases. Depends where I'm going though, could be half an hour, could be an hour. The trail that leads to this spot starts about 20 minutes from my front door:

Nice! It would be a tragedy to break that sweet machine before you had a chance to take it adventuring.

Bought a whole mess of stuff lately in preparation for my upcoming expedition and BC Overland Rally - parts for DIY roof rack, jerry can, Smittybilt Jerry can holder, some extendable poles for DIY awning, dock rope for my inflatable boat, another tree saver ($10 on sale!), motor mount for the...

Sweeeeeeet.

Looks like you're ready for action, brother!

BTW, for anyone interested, I posted a topic in the general discussion forum about doing a convoy through West Harrison en route to the Rally. Check in if you're keen on it!

This is probably different for the USA, but for what it's worth, I'm insured with BCAA, and they have specifically told me that there is no exclusion for off road use, so if I manage to flip the CRV off a cliff somewhere in the backcountry and not die, I'm covered. Not sure if they cover...

Hey all! I'm attending BC Overland Rally this year, and I know at least a few of you are too. Is there any interest out there in forming up a convoy and driving the West Harrison FSR through the back country to Pemberton, and then hooking south to arrive in Whistler? I think it would be a...

Nice! I think it would be an awesome way to kick off the Rally. I think I'll post a topic to gauge interest.
