Hey all! Wanted to post this since I haven't seen much about it here: https://www.aoaexpo.com/ I bought my tickets already. Looks to be similar to BC Overland Rally, which I've attended twice before Covid hit and was an absolute blast. Hope to see some OB members out there!

Hello fellow Overlanders! Due to a confluence of unforseen circumstances, I was forced to give up my cherished 1999 Honda CR-V adventure rig and purchase a new vehicle. As we recently moved to an acreage in the country, I had a need for a pickup for the first time in my life for hauling hay...

Hello Overland Bound! I wanted to share my trip from late summer of 2021 with you all. I did a 5 day trip in 2019 to some ghost towns here in Northern BC, and having been more or less prevented from doing a major trip in 2020 due to Covid and other issues, I was determined to get one done in...

Hello fellow OB members! I recently completed another expedition, this time through northwest BC between Telkwa and Prince Rupert, and during our adventure, we hit a snag trying to get to what is likely a jaw dropping camp site on the shores of Kildala arm. Along Gitsekan forest road, there is...

I came across this amazing route and the story of a group of Land Rover lads who attempted it in 2009. In my research on the subject, I stumbled upon the video documenting the expedition. It's a pretty neat watch despite the old grainy video and messed up sound in places, especially for Landy...

I'm amazed there isn't already a thread for this, but who's excited for the new Bronco? With front and rear live axles, rear mounted spare, aggressive off road geometry, what seems like a gorgeous boxy design with lots of cargo room, and most importantly for me, a speculative price point way...

Hello all, I've had an idea rolling around in my head, and I'd like to get some opinions from the OB community. As many of you may know, I do all my adventures on a shoestring budget. I am the sole breadwinner for a family with 5 kids living in one of, if not the most expensive parts of...

Hello all! Finally found a few moments to get started on a trip report of our recent expedition to Northwestern BC, to the ghost towns of Kitsault and Alice Arm. The idea for this trip began over a year ago when I first heard about Kitsault. Founded back in 1981 by Amax Mining Corporation...

Hello all I thought I'd do a quick little first impressions/first use review of my new Coast Machete: I bought this nice little machete for 20 Canuck bucks from Home Depot Canada. It has a 14 inch stainless steel blade with a full tang, overmolded heavy duty polymer grip, sawback design, and...

Hi all, I'm currently trying out Locus Maps as I'm not very impressed with Gaia Maps. I've heard it mentioned here, but it doesn't seem to have its own discussion thread. Any users here who can comment on the functionality of it, especially for North America? I've got the free version...

I've seen a few posts here about people who integrate water craft of some sort or other into their adventures. Has anyone here named their water rig as many have named their overlanding rig. Naturally most bigger boats have names, but what about little things like kyaks, canoes, tinnies, jon...

Hey Overland Bound! I just got back from BCOR 2019. Dried out all my stuff from the continual downpour we had, and got it mostly packed away. I was hoping to connect with more OB members, but at least I saw a bunch of you guys out there! Share your pics and stories from this year's event, and...

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...

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...

I found out that the Honda CR-V was the official support vehicle of the final Camel Trophy race in 2000. Since then, I've been hunting for pics of one, and I finally found some in this thread from Honda Tech: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-cr-v-element-156/uk-camel-trophy-3168218/ Kind of...

Found this fascinating video. He makes a pretty compelling case for the Richat Structure being Atlantis. Any OB members in north west Africa who want to take a drive out and explore it? :D Doesn't look like too friendly a place, judging by the travel advisories from the GoC...

I've been itching to explore this valley just on the north side of the border with Cascades National Park. Previously, we had done some exploring here during our snow wheeling trip, and before that with my buddy's UTV, but we had turned back for various reasons. Originally, I was going to do...

Hello all, Figured I'd start a build thread even though not a ton of progress has been made on this rig of mine. I figure it's as much a "to do" list for me as it is sharing my journey building up the CR-V with you guys. My rig is, as mentioned, a '99 CR-V. The CR-V debuted in 1997 and...
