2nd the nod for the Silky Big Boy folding saw. It's amazing, and super compact. I also have a medium sized Fiskars axe, and a medium sized machete. They all have their own roles, and all get used. I personally wouldn't want a single Swiss-Army hatchetesaw thingie. If my one item breaks or gets...

I'll drink a wet can of beer ..... I won't drink a warm one. :grimacing:

We use old railbeds to get around on from time to time. I'd say it's important to get real local input, as railbed right of ways can change, fences go up, bridges get removed, vehicle access can be limited on some rail to trail type railbeds, etc. Here in BC, I belong to a couple FB groups that...

The ghost of Catherine O'Hare Schubert chuckles at us. http://www.heroines.ca/graphics/catherineschubert.pdf

Alaska? Never heard of her. :)

I remember planning a trip to Colorado to visit friends, go to Ouray, etc. I really had no ideas where it was, but figured "well, they say it's in the West ..... and I live on the West coast of BC, so how far can it be?" 2500km later we ended up in Colorado.

Hows about living North of the Pacific Northwest. :) And pretty much anything the other side of the Rockies is "East" for what it's worth anyways, eh?

When we had a rooftop tent our dogs refused to sleep in the Xterra. I bought a simple long carpet runner from the hardware store, laid it on the hood, and up the windshield and onto the roof. One dog jumps up onto the hood (I would lift the older other one) and they had no problems just waling...

Based on what you say you are looking for, another vote for an Inreach. It is has served me well over the past few years, definatly provides a sense of security. We bring it when hiking, offroad, camping, or traveling anywhere on the highway really. I've been on a solo 2+week journeys and my...

I bought a carpet runner and laid it up the hood and glass, worked like a charm. It had a rubberized backing and didn't slip at all, even on the windshield.

Just snow up in the mountains here in the South Okangan. It's pretty nice in the Valley right now.

Exactly, he does a pretty good job of it too.

Leavenworth and Winthrop in Washington are really nice places ot stop and wander aroubnd. The North Cascades Hwy from Winthrop over to the PMW is an epic drive. I'm a real fan of the central Oregon Coast (Newport area, Hwy 101, and the amazing beaches). My Wife and i try to visit and camp there...

Similar thing happened to a couple with a Four Wheel Camper a few years ago. Found a beauty spot in a dry riverbed to camp, and woke up in the middle of the night to the feeling of their truck and camper moving (go figure). I also recall a story of a Jeep guy camping on the edge of a low...

Our Sunday. This pretty much sums up the attitudes of both our dogs.

That's about the best set of pics I've seen lately. Fishing Dogs, totally awesome. I'm going to have to show these to my dogs.

And Princess Molly, our deaf BC Husky mix. We adopted her from the SPCA 7 years ago, and then 5 years ago brought Ichabod (above) into our home to be a companion and sheepdog for her. He's the best brother we could have ever asked for, loyal to a fault, always keeps an eye on her, we've trained...

One of our crew. Ichabod the Catahoula. He's always got something to say.

This is a question we've been throwing around at our home for the past year or so, with a goal of moving from our the present Tundra and Foyr Wheel Camper to something that can be used for both camping trip and longer multi-month excursions and travels around North America. Any way I slice it I...
