The Ice Road Truckers show is dramatized like most shows and I only had difficulty driving in overcast skies so you were in a sense snow blind. We maintained speeds of 15 to 25 MPH but hit some nasty hummocks (hills) and bottomed the suspension a few times. No damage to the trucks but the...

I just got back from a trip down winter/ice roads to deliver trucks and snowmobiles to remote First Nation reserves in northern Manitoba. Some of the reserves are only accessible by air most of the year so freight charges greatly inflate food prices. Milk has been subsidized to half of it's...

Just when I thought I've seen it all this video appears. I'm assuming it's a Lamborghini tractor... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akvm28cKTz8&feature=youtu.be&t=16

You're welcome!  Hard to imagine pulling some of the bigger trailers with 80 HP under the hood. There's 175 thousand images in the library. I was searching for pre war cars and motorcycles and found some trailer images. Here's a link to the entire gallery...

Here's a link to camping images from the good 'ol days that makes one think how much has changed in seventy years. Some interesting pics of early campers... http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=trailer+camp&sp=1&co=fsa&st=grid

The smart chargers are great until you try to charge a battery with a low state of charge. My smart charger will not recognize a depleted lead acid battery and I have to bring up the voltage with a old school charger or parallel the depleted battery with a charged one. I'm not sure what the...

Sorry to hear of your welcome to friendly Manitoba. We have been first place or a close second to the car theft capital of Canada. We made the news when four juvenile chronic car thieves got to their first court appearance in a stolen car...

You're welcome! I forgot to mention this generator meets 2015 U.S. EPA EXH/EVP regs for small off road engines.

I built this cookie tin lid antenna for next to nothing and it works very well. Be sure to tape the sharp edges on the metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVvO6021VIc

Thanks for the warm welcome! These are the flatlands where you can stand on a beer can and see the North Pole. The Eco 12 is cozy but it suits us fine and my wife wouldn't consider a tear drop that you can't stand in. We're still sorting out the limited storage spaces and getting it ready for...

Here's a brief review of the Power It (Qinglong) 800 watt/1000 peak generator. I was looking for a small quiet generator and didn't want to pay a premium price for a Honda or Yamaha 1000 watt inverter generator. This 18 pound 2 stroke generator was $188.00 at Walmart Canada. I couldn't find any...

Hi Guys! My wife and I have retired the tent and picked up a new to us 2009 ProLite Eco 12 trailer. This trailer is built in St. Jerome Quebec and weighs in at 750 lbs. Small trailers are hard to come by in our area and we travelled 2200 miles return to pick this one up. Looking forward to some...
