Epic adventures here in BC Canada

So , while at Chester’s Chicken after our monsoon exploration trip , I noticed I’d lost the base plate off my 60” HiLift Jack Extreme.

Ugh! The trail side overgrowth probably pulled the linch pin out, (which I’ve been meaning to wrap in baling wire for like ten years )

however as I was waiting for that chicken perfection, I scrolled thru my photos. And suddenly I knew EXACTLY where the base plate had been lost on the trail

AUGH! Where’s the baseplate!

It was on just 50’ back on the trail


I did drive through these thickets about 30’ back……



And thats exactly where Bro found the plate. No linch pin though

lol

 

Haha i totally forgot about that. When your powered up with fried chicken fuel any task becomes manageable!!!

 

Gone Tramping


@TuffPossumGear survival scarf works extremely well as a bindlestick bindle




I’m in yer woods, Tramping


the water hole on the hydro FSR is very full , almost 8’ deep. Perfect spot to fill the canteens with the Katadyn Pocket Filter



dropping the Scout Rig / Bindle


new pouch by Carcajou Tactical, a local Canadian Veteran owned gear company . It’s pretty baddazz . I’m going to be working with them to hopefully get a webbing rig design made by them ……

Old wooly sock to protect the filter from bumps

pump up the jam pump it up!!

 

Forest puddle , will be around until about July .




The lean too did not fare well under the heavy winter snows up here. That’s ok, planning a better build nearby soon



Time for lunch . I used the bindle to haul in homemade tuna salad with chili’s, olive oil, garlic, onions, herbs . Plus a pouch of baked beans, some sourdough bread, 10 year aged/smoked British cheddar , Spanish fennel salami, and a hot pickle .

Smudge fire

 

Time for a brew up!



drank coffee and made a proper bindlestick



Put the fire out, rucked up and headed out . The snow levels had rapidly dropped over the 5 hours I was there. And that rock bluff looks like an elephant! (2nd pic)



Mud puddle. Time to refill the canteens


That’s it!

 

Goals for this weekend!

- demo the Millbank Bag using muddy water

- use the BRS-12A stove to cook lunch / brew up

- hike possibly if monsoons stop

 

Monsoon or not let's get it

 

Explored a new area today - below the highway on the steep bluffs overlooking the ocean

report to follow

Is that SYKCO a 1311? 91Bravo sent me his years back to beat on for a bit, it was one impressive blade.

 

I believe so?

Previous owner cut a choil into it ….. I don’t beat on this one like I do my other BusseKIN, but it gets worked hard and comes back for more.

 

Mega epic adventure coming NEXT weekend!

My work buddy, plus @SofTwoody88 , and me, heading out to the very end of an old FSR…..

We’re gonna build a massive MORS KOCHANSKI super shelter , a massive fire , im bringing my big Potjie pot , loads of beef, lamb, potatoes, spices, soup stock , potato’s etc to make a slooooow cooked stew , plus my new handmade reflector oven from Sweden - for biscuits!

 

Beat on it. I'm sure even with that dirty home choil the yard will have your back till the end of your time

 

Bushy you must have been a photographer in another life

 

Omg

drool

 

I love a dirty home choil, ask my 5, Junglas and CM6

 

If I had my way.. even a sharpening choil would have no place
