That's hilarious. I'm afraid I never partake, though, sorry to disappoint. My brain is naturally this weird.

I'm quite happy with it. It's my poor man's tacoma. Very similar specs, $63,000 cheaper.

Funny enough, since my initial post in this thread, I actually did acquire a new rig, an 06 Dodge Dakota V8, and subsequently an incredible deal on a clamshell RTT came up, and I ended up buying it. Having lots of experience with ground tents and my cot tent, I have to say, I absolutely love...

Weird. Where are the rest of the footprints? It looks by the angle and direction of the steps that there should be more footprints behind those two. Did you consider tracking/backtracking to see if you could tell where it came from or went?

How awesome would it be if Bigfoot was legit a member of Overland Bound and was trolling us with photos of his own footprints? lol

Wow, what a fantastic collection! Makes me want to visit the semi-deserts of the BC interior and snap some pics! :D

I hear that! Weight was a massive factor with my tiny little CR-V and its 120hp 4 banger engine. It's less of a concern with my Dakota's 4.7L v8, but I keep the lessons learned from the CR-V build in mind and opt for lighter weight whenever I can.

Love you rig! I looked into getting one of those once upon a time. They're a bit hard to come by in my part of the world though. Love the build as well, very nicely kitted out.

Hey, brother! Thanks for the kind words, and thank you for your service :) I often joke that I should start a youtube channel called "Ghettoverlanding" because all my gear is pretty dirt cheap, including my rigs. Ganbaru cost me $1800 Canuck bucks, which was a steal of a deal, but even now a...

A torrential, unrelenting downpour began at around 2200h the previous night and was still going by 0730 the next morning. We had forgotten to move the chairs under the canopy, so they and virtually everything else was drenched. Nearly the whole bay was socked in with low cloud and mist. Given...

The weather continued to be overcast with occasional drizzles when we awoke the next morning. After a good breakfast and some coffee, we packed up camp and headed off back the way we came. Our next target of the expedition was a ghost town on the Skeena River named Port Essington. My map recce...

I had an interesting experience in the woods of BC which at the time I didn't think of as a bigfoot encounter. I had taken a couple of my kids up East Harrison for a bush campout for a couple of nights, and despite it being unfortunately quite busy in the area, we managed to find a nice little...

Wow, absolutely spectacular view! What a striking rock formation! The full on desert landscape is something we don't have in Canada, although parts of the interior of BC come very close.

Awesome trip to a part of the world I'm not likely to see, but then, who knows. Your blues sound track seemed very fitting for the desert landscape, somehow. Love your rig - those pop up campers are a pretty swanky option if they work for your needs. I wouldn't mind one myself except that my rig...

BUHANKA! :D One of my favourite 4x4's ever. Those things are cool as heck.

Wow, absolutely fantastic trips and pictures! I had the great privilege and pleasure to spend a couple of weeks in Holland in 2005 for the 60th anniversary of the Liberation, as my army unit was specifically invited by the Dutch government due to the regiment's role in liberating Amsterdam and...

Day 2 would prove to be the most challenging day of the expedition, and one fraught with disappointments and frustrations, but which, nevertheless, still proved memorable and enjoyable despite the setbacks involved. We awoke to a somewhat drizzly, overcast day, which remained thus despite some...

We made a slight backtrack to a cool sand flat area just off the highway on the shores of the mighty and storied Skeena River, a waterway that has been the lifeblood of the region for well over a hundred years. This was a quick lunch of wraps and fruit, as we had to set off on the next leg of...

The track winds through some severe ups and downs with very steep grades, past the aforementioned rec sites, and finally arrives at the east end of Top Lake, and one of the most majestic spots one could ever hope to see. This would make a spectacular spot to camp, and would offer a ton in...

After some months of planning, map recce, and research, I put together a plan for a four day trip, beginning in my own "back yard" of Telkwa, BC, with a drive through The Telkwa Pass. Spanning roughly 100 kms through the stunning Telkwa Mountain Range between Telkwa and Thornhill, BC, just...
