    Trial and Error on the Trails

    Sometimes it takes a couple of wheeling trips at the beginning of the season to get into a consistent groove on the trails where correct lines are always chosen and a day in the backcountry goes smoothly. However, water crossings, rock crawling... Read more

    Spot Like a Pro

    Safe and effective spotting occurs when the driver and spotter work together. Each knows what to expect from one another and they communicate effectively. It can be challenging, but it’s a skill that can be taught. This is not a discussion... Read more

    Late Spring Trail Running

    About a year ago, my buddy Brian broke a transfer case on his TJ Wrangler on a rocky trail northeast of Gravenhurst, ON. After getting it repaired over the following months, he sold it and recently bought a Rubicon JL. He was then ready to take on... Read more

    Snow Days

    During this time of year, you may receive a call or text from a buddy on a Saturday morning saying, “let’s go wheeling, the trails can’t be that bad and everyone else is coming…” You look out the window and see about six inches of snow on the... Read more

    Snow, Shovels, and a Stubborn F250

    There’s a certain appeal of off-roading in the winter. The backcountry becomes a majestic white wonderland and there’s a peaceful stillness on the trail that can’t be experienced during any other time of the year. Wheeling through the wet, white... Read more

    Not All Was Lost in The Great White North

    There’s no doubt that most overlanders have at one point looked at a map and wondered what regions are less travelled or travelled at all. One such area I learned about was Fort Severn, ON, a rural community on the coastline of Hudson Bay that’s... Read more
