I think a canopy would do better for sneaky bears at night. The tent is a good idea as long as it's a bear free area.

There are bear-free hunting areas in Canada?

We tent right in the densest grizzly population in Canada whilst hunting them, don't worry you'll be fine!

Ardent knows what he speaks of. That photo was taken on a black bear hunt in the part of Ontario with pretty much the highest density of black bears in the province. I just put the food cooler in the cab of the truck overnight.

your suv is in pristine condition. How do you maintain it like that?

Alberta is not hard on vehicles due to dry conditions , no salt on the roads like the east coast .They use rocks instead but very hard on windshields , every third vehicle has a broken windshield . Alberta is terrible at road maintenance

They use salt, just less of it mixed with calcium and sand. It extends the useful temperature range of their traction mix. - dan

You should take a wander around Saskatchewan, I have been more places in Alberta (working) than I have been in Sask, but our roads in many places are deplorable.

In my opinion the suzuki samurai/jimny is the perfect hunting vehicle.
Not much bigger then a quad, lightweight, simple design, and very cheap.
It can go pretty much anywhere. Less then half the cost of side by side, and street legal.
It's kinda hard to find one in canada in good condition. I import a couple of them from japan every so often.
If anyone is interested in one, send me a message I should have 2 seacans arriving in Canada sometime this fall.

*same can be said for kei-trucks, like what rice farmers use. great cheap utility vehicle and with a decent sized box*

depends on the condition but you can get them anywhere from $1200-8000 depending on the model and condition. cost just shy of $1000 to ship them overseas, register, and make them street legal in canada.

so cool.

we saw yesterday in whitehorse a guy with a folded floatplane green and white. when the alaskans are heading back we know winter will be over soon ... maybe june ...

 

[MattW]

Thanks Phil. I'm just getting into the float flying. She's a 59 Cessna 180B. I'd think these would be a pretty common sight throughout Alaska and the Yukon. I'm hoping to take the kids up there soon (this summer maybe) to see Kluane.

wow 67 a very good year .... we got one in Africa that we sold in favor of fj/hj 45 ... not as good on history as the toyota but a little more reliable .... we kept longer our 109 III diesel ...
