Why Settle For Lemonade?
June 19, 2015 – Today will be a day of research and discovery, acclimation to the equipment, and to Canada. This is one of those days that is chock full of little stories. The take-away? I stayed in Chilliwack the whole day doing stuff, and went back to Wal*mart for another night of free lodging.

Hand cranking the stabilizer jacks under each corner of the trailer is unpleasant at best. But a crank/wrench isn’t very expensive and is easily cut with a grinding wheel. So I sliced off the handle and made a straight extended wrench out of one. Now, chucking this up in a cordless drill/driver I can raise……
The simple solutions to leveling your trailer side to side, and backing into just the right spot really depend on having a spotter outside the car. Not having that separate set of eyes on my solo trip I chose some solutions that are a little more complex.
June 11th, 2015 – For the past several weeks I’ve been making lists and reviewing my gear. I want to be moving, and I am too anxious sit in the driveway while I figure out how to load the gear into the trailer. I bought several blue plastic totes to collect things while I prepared. ……
Early June 2015, I feel like the calendar is on fire. Burning a low flame, but inexorable. How has it consumed more than two months? So long ago I chose adventure, why haven’t I headed north yet?
I watched as the flames ate April. The severance package came with a general overview of what to expect,……
Trailer hitches are designed to do work, not be quiet. On a truck you probably won’t notice, but in an SUV it is loud and distracting. This post is about how I kept this beast under a pillow, mostly.
One day I was driving with a good friend along a two lane highway in Eastern Washington. The road was a little up and a little down, some left and some right. Even so it was an easy road to drive and keep the speed constant. I was driving at the speed limit, but approaching……
Being just one person and short enough to fit sideways, I found that I could just lay down the back of the rear couch to sleep. Wall to wall is about 72″ and I am about 67″, this leaves a little room above my head and below my feet. I further found that if I laid……
This post is about my portable CPAP kit and is in response to some of the conversations I’ve had about taking my CPAP beyond the trailer. I have used a CPAP machine to keep my breathing normal at night for over 15 years. During that time I’ve also enjoyed plenty of backwoods adventures beyond……
I plan to take the trailer on some gravel roads so I had the axle remounted to put the frame higher off the ground, and we added tough skid plates to protect the underside. When I was choosing my T@B the optional Outb@ck package wasn’t available locally when I needed it, so I decided……
