The Canadian Army uses G Wagons as our GP wheeled vehicle. Oh man how I want one when they eventually start surplussing those. I'll have to stand in a long line I bet lol

Glad I'm not the only one using an Alice pack as a "Poor Man's Trasharoo" lol.

Dang, that's awesome. I love it! I also notice you have two more epic off road machines - you've got your own convoy! :thumbsup:

I don't use the Book of Faces, but I am from LMD BC. I'm pretty busy in general with 4 kids and a lot of OT at work, but I'm extremely keen to get out in the back country when I can. Cheers!

Hey BC Overlanders! I'm really itching to do the Harrison - Pemberton FSR route on August 11th, but all my usual wheeling buddies have bailed on me or are tied up. I know that there's a washout at 56km at the bridge over Bremner creek, but my research indicates that BC4WD association has...

I went! It was absolutely awesome. I knew it would be cool, but it was even better than I'd hoped. I even went on an "accidental trail ride" (bit of a funny story) and ended up at the top of the green chairlift. lol Cheers!

Love those land cruisers. That's a sweet setup.

@Ian McCarthy Nice to see a new range rover hitting the dirt! Of course people have every right to do whatever they wish with their own property (as long as it doesn't infringe others rights and property) but I always feel a bit sad when a 4x4 is relegated to being just a pavement princess...

Ugh that sucks, man, been there. Some crackhead stole a bunch of stuff out of my rig while it was at the mechanic. Hope you didn't lose any good gear.

You make a good point - I started out backpacking as well, not quite as remote as you mention, but pretty remote, and I always packed as light as I thought I could get away with, but I see your perspective on the heightened risk vs the added security of vehicle based travel. Presently my kit is...

I hear Southern Cali is bad, but I think housing prices and cost of living might be worse here, not sure. We bought our 3 bedroom townhouse with almost no yard for 500k in 2016 and sold it 6 months later for 555k, and since we moved I think similar units were selling for 620. It's just nuts here.

Yeah, those are the ones I was thinking of. Good to know they're good quality! I was thinking those would work perfectly for me.

Are you guys talking about the Plano sportsman's trunk that walmart sells?

:Waves his flag proudly: #nationofone

This is absolutely amazing. You inspire me! I wish you were near me so I could become your padawan learner of car hacks lol

Am I seriously the only one? lol

Oh for sure I realize how blessed I am. The view from my street is incredible. 20 minutes from my house and I can be on top of a huge mountain. It's a shame it's so darned expensive to live here, though! lol

Thanks much! Currently my adventuring opportunities are a bit limited, but I'm trying to arrange a full day trip through a historic back country route in BC. If we manage to make the trip happen, I'll probably do a little route post showing the area and highlights of the adventure. Cheers!

Sweet machines. I absolutely love those old land cruisers. They're rarer than hens teeth and cost a mint where I live, unfortunately ;_;

Seems like everyone's done one of these, so figured I would too, since I'm killing time waiting for something at the moment. Life long BC boy here, served in the army, currently a 10+ year law enforcement officer. I recently got interested in 4wd and off roading when I bought a house in the...
