    new BMW G310R

    Looked into the bmws this week and they are super nice but the price in canada is way off..just under 6000 when you can get way more bike for the same price. The duke was 4500, i got a smoking deal 2500 cash for a gw250...yes its less power but hey 5 year warranty by that time i hope the africa...

Very reliable..the...

    shouldbeasy's 'home away from home' 2017 4x4 Sprinter build

    Sweet nice to see some one a couple of hours away...looking at the same rig ...or close enough. Why the heck dont m.b. use abbreviations for upgrades that actually makes some sence to the actual upgrades...things like vcp for heated seats...im worried the sales guys will flub it up

    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    I have a couple of the highest output Milwaukee 18v impacts , i make my living as an industrial service engineer with them. Any fastener on a vehicle that you would fix on the trail....no issue. Any large diameter fastner a pneumatic impact will always win . I did run a 1/2 drive electric impact...

    To spot or not to spot

    I think the other huge benefit of 2 way communication is that if you come across some else who is in need of help or wants to let family know they are ok but running late or broken down the option is there. For the most part my tools, first aid, extraction items, and comms are not used to help...

    To spot or not to spot

One of my preset messages was im stuck send a tow ...my wife had a detailed map of my route and i was only...

    Garmin InReach Explorer+

    Hey guys....thinking of buying ans inreach explorer to replace the spot i have. Overall would you buy it again or not?....for hiking, mountaineering, and overland purposes in that order. Thanks in advance

    To spot or not to spot

    I have the newest spot and will be getting an inreach. The lack of 2 way communication, the delay on sending messages while having full coverage in an urban area (my backyard for testing) and given the cost gap it seems a no brainer. Wife got it for me for xmas she got bad advice from my...

    Off-road teardrop build from Canada

    Im hoping for a smooth registration so that thing can roll down the trail!! I sold the trailer a couple weeks ago, it wasnt a teardrop or anything for overland use. Your registration of your last trailer reminds me when i got my motorbike licence. I paid for a test and met the guy at an old...
