Exploring the Sunshine Coast (with Overland Outfitters & the Coastal Crew)

Hey Guys!!!!!!

We are super stocked to be dropping this video today as today was our shop's Grand Opening!!!

We hope you liked it. Checking out the Sunshine Coast in BC, with the Coastal Crew's two SAS'd 1st gens, and our 2nd gen.

Feel free to follow us on Instagram as well @overlandoutfitters if you like what you see!

We hope you enjoy watching as much as we did making it!



We are so pleased to finally be opening our shop in Cloverdale, BC! It's been a long road to get here, but it's a really exciting and new kind of adventure for us!

Just as a quick break down, we offer Tepui RTT and other camping gear rentals and sales, featuring some really cool brands such as Maxtrax, Partner Steel Co, ARB, GSI, Jetboil, Warn, @TepuiTents , Krazy Beaver, Trasharoo, Pelican, Helly Hansen, King, TemboTusk, Rigid, Silky, HiLift, and so so much more.

If you're in the area, we would be so happy to meet you, talk trucks, adventures, or gear and make a new friend!

 

Summer 2017, June, we spent two weeks in Vancouver/BC driving from port angeles up to Victoria then up the coast from Ucleelet through Nanimo, back to Victoria, up to Squamish and Whistler then west to Kelowna then Revelstoke (Loved this place) wandered around between Lake Louise and down to Fernie and back down into the US. I am ready to return anytime! I was thinking the whole time.... man that Forrest road looks like it goes somewhere cool! Do you guys lead any trips? I’d love to come back and bring my Tacoma!

 

Great video btw. Congrats on the new shop too!

 

Great video, checking out google earth with the satellite view and it sure is a rugged area.
Good luck with the shop, if I head down to the lower mainland I'll stop in.

 

That sounds like an insane trip! That's a lot of ground to cover in only 2 weeks! You could easily spend 2 weeks just on Vancouver Island or the Sunshine Coast. We haven't done any guiding yet, but it is certainly a goal one day. If you came up here though, we could definitely show you around!

Thanks so much!

Thanks man! It is a beautiful zone for sure. There are roads leading everywhere, you could never explore it all. Look forward to seeing you if you're ever in the area! It's been a fun adventure, and I'm excited to see where it takes us!

 

Isn't there some route from Cumberland over to Port Alberni all backroads? That could be a fun trip once it warms up

 

I'm sure there would be, you can get pretty well anywhere on just backroads haha! One really cool trip you can do is go from Harrison to the top of the Coquihalla pass all on backroads, and there's some fire lookouts, and beautiful lakes etc on the way

 

That sounds like a great trip.
I did a fun trip in the fall, you guys have probably done it. I went first to Lillooet then along Carpenter Lake, over the Hurley Pass down into Pemberton, then along Lillooet lake and Harrison Lake to Hope.

 

That's a great loop! We did essentially the same trip but the opposite direction, then came back down through Nahatlatch/Boston Bar. We hit Molybdenite on the way which is one of the most epic butt-puckering high altitude drives if you haven't done it.

 

I have not done that drive to Molydenite but it sounds fun! I'll definitely check that out, have a great night!

 

I just checked out the photos from that area, WOW!!

 

You guys are killin me. I’m coming back up there for sure. This time two weeks for each area.

 

I have a couple in my build thread:

do iiittt!

 

Great photos, cannot wait for winter to be done, and 15 feet of snow to melt so we can get out there! I'm also thinking about checking out the Yalakom area at some point.

 

Yeah I haven't been yet, but China Head and Poison are supposed to be unreal

 

Hey I tried to order some things from your shop online but it says you can’t ship to USA?

 

Oh no way! shoot! We've been having a bunch of issues with shipping which we're trying to figure out, so I'm sorry about that!! We can ship to you but I would have to get a shipping quote for you first if that's okay? Sorry about the inconvenience... I'm gotta get this sorted out!

 

No worries! I’m trying to buy a couple maps, two tee shirts, & some stickers. I’ll pm you my address now. We are in north Florida so pretty much the other side of the continent, lol.

 

Just curious, any particular reason you want maps of BC when you're in Florida?

 

First, we support start up's and it seems you have that going on, lol. I've been in Economic Development and successfully Incubated new businesses and it's hard habit to break. But mostly, because my wife and I are coming back up there as soon as our schedules permit. This time NOT flying and renting a 4X4 Yukon, but bringing our own Taco and camping/off-roading/ Overlanding. It's a 40 day excursion this time with a full 14 days in BC. Probably June-July, Summer 2018. We found BC to be everything we love about the mountains but ....bigger...better...and a bit less crowded.
