Wherever the town site is, I'm fairly sure it's very close to the border. I wonder if it might be the name of a creek, ie Little Flat Creek? Since the website mentions Boundary as being near the border and situated between that and the Columbia - logically one would use two rivers as reference...

It would be easier to locate if anyone knew where "The Little Flat" was. I've searched the term and come up with nothing. I'm hoping some Stevens County locals can shed some more light on this mystery.

The sources I've read place it near the columbia river and close to the border with Canada. There are some forestry roads in that area named "Boundary Road" and "Boundary Access Road" which is quite suggestive as well. It's much further north than North Port, I'd say.

Hey all, I came upon a minor mystery while doing map recces of the area I often go exploring near my home. I found a location marked on Google maps as "Boundary." At first I didn't even realize it was a place, because it looked like the word "boundary" labeling the Canada/US border. Only once I...

Dang that sucks. Professional tire repair shop?

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. I put mine driver side so I could always see it though.

Couldn't repair the tire with a plug kit?

I can go about 550-560kms on a 58L tank of gas if I really push it, so about 9.65kms/L. You can see one of the reasons I chose the CR-V lol

4 4x Overland is one of my fav channels. Andrew has a colossal amount of off-roading and overlanding experience, so he's a great resource for us.

I almost bought an Isuzu Trooper before I bought my CR-V, but unfortunately it was a V8, and since I have a 144km daily round trip commute, I would have gone broke driving it lol If it had been a v6, I for sure would have bought it if it was in good condition, as they were only asking $1850...

Very true. It's a bit less of an issue in BC generally, I guess because of the climate, but for sure it's an issue. Apparently Toyota discontinued the Land Cruiser 70 series in Canada due to rust issues :(. Rather than act to fix the rust issues by properly coating the underbodies of the...

I almost never go in the back country without a firearm, usually my Reminton 870 express tactical 12 gauge. Too many bears and cougars in these mountains not to. I may look into getting a more compact shotgun for that purpose, though, as the remmy is a little on the big side, even with the 18...

Another thing is to keep up on maintenance; any engine will obviously last longer if it's kept in good condition through regular fluid and filter changes, replacing spark plugs and belts when they get long in the tooth etc.

Kind of depends on the rig, I would say. Some rigs will go and go, others begin to get dodgy at certain mileage marks. My CRV is over 311k, but I've seen an example f irst hand with over 500k and still running like a top. The B20Z motor is known to commonly go over 400k with no major issues if...

I'm curious, is there anyone here who regularly works their boat into their explorations, and has anyone named their little exploring vessel? I'm quite excited about the potential exploration my new raft opens up, so I'm interested to hear of what adventures others have gotten up to on the water.

Yes! 4WD Action is one of the best channels on youtube, hands down. I look forward to every release and I've learned a ton from watching them. Lots of fun, and they're almost completely family friendly, with the exception of the outtakes now and then. https://www.youtube.com/user/4wdaction/featured

Took my skid plate off in preparation for the oil change in the shop tomorrow. I just didn't want to risk the mechanic losing any of the hardware or charging me the shop time to take it off.

There's tons of little aluminum boats around here. They're usually referred to as car toppers in NA, though, I believe.

That's a shame they've closed so much. Would still be pretty awesome to go from Campbell River to Port Hardy though.

Being code red constantly is just as foolish and self destructive as being code white all the time. Code white behind locked doors at home, code yellow everywhere outside until it's time to progress to a higher level of alertness. Being hyper vigilant 24/7 is a recipe for severe burnout.
