These people were lucky, they were well prepared, just not prepared for the road conditions, an investment in some more recovery gear would have helped. The Weather Network - Missing pair found in B.C.'s backcountry after writing 'help' in snow

I still can’t get over the beautiful views from this spot at the Jesmond lookout. I’m thinking I’ll take our friends from out of town for a drive up there tomorrow after we do a little fishing. For everyone not able to make the trip up there to see it for yourself, there is a video on our...

I had some time last night to do a quick run, so I loaded my quad into the truck and headed out towards Kelly lake. I took my quad due to time, I can cover rough ground a lot quicker, so I parked the truck at the junction of the Jesmond road, and the Clinton-pavilion road. I had originally...

Its now been a few weeks since we made the move from Valemount BC to Clinton BC, and its taken a bit to get settled in, but the last few days we've had time to get some exploring in. We drove the big bar road to the jesmond road, which basically is a big loop around that started and ended in...

While my wife was on a trip with our youngest to visit family in Quebec, I loaded up with our older two for a couple nights. We headed out to one of the forestry rec sites along the canoe reach of Kinbasket Lake. Kinbasket Lake is a man made lake, the lake started to flood in 1970 with the...

I was out solo yesterday, checking on a firewood spot, and stupid me had zero recovery gear, so of course I got stuck. The mud was slick so I ended up off the line I was trying to take, ended up scraping the front diff on a big rock, and the rear diff was going to hang up on it. It looked clear...

I took my son out for a winter camp out at yellow jacket rec site on Kinbasket lake just south of Valemount BC. It was forecast to hit as low as -40 with the wind chill so I made sure to pack lots of warm blankets, I had -28 when we got up in the morning. Here’s a short video of the trip.

My wife is being transferred to Clinton sometime this summer, any one in that area? Or have any tips for places to explore? I know a bit of the area, I’ve explored Carpenter lake a bit, so I know I can take the big bar ferry. I’ve hauled logs from between Clearwater and 100 mile so I know a few...

I did a quick over night trip up Canoe Mountain, which is just south of Valemount BC where we live. It’s about 13km from the turn off on the highway to the top of the mountain, and you can drive right to the very top. The road wasn’t to bad, it’s got some rough rocky spots, a little grown in in...

Needing to get out for a short adventure we took a run up swift mountain which is just north east of Valemount. It’s a short trail that is easily done by most rigs, even stock, there are some awesome views along the way, and if someone was looking for a cool over night spot it would be great...

Any members from Kamloops, Clearwater, 100 mile house area interested in a quick overnighter next Saturday July 7th? I’m working in Clearwater till around three and plan on heading up road 2 towards 100 mile house and spending a night on one of the many lakes up there. Then head out to explore...

A few weeks back I took my kids to explore the trail to mica mountain, it was challenging in a stock Ford Escape, unfortunately it won’t make it to the top without a low range. This is what the trail looks like at the top. My son got some video and I was able to put together a short video of...
