Swisha Loop 2018

Excellent list

 

This is great, appreciate all the info and the time it took to come up with this. Thanks

I have everything on this list minus a winch. And i only have 55L of fuel. Also thanks @Joe23 for the costco special. I got the two pack of scepters.

Food im stilk making my list. And i think i need a nicer tent and should be good.

 

Opinions.

For crapping for a week. Im thinking the luggable loo. 5gallom bucket with a seat.

Also considering a full OBA. Viair has some units on sale on Amazon.
Mount it in the engine bay and its always ready. The 88p is decent but.

 

Also I know Princess Auto Has a Great Deal ( I think is a great deal and im cheap) on Fuel Jerry Cans 20L cans
Both the normal Red Cans / The Green jerry cans ( like that military uses) I cant Remember the price off the top of head I think it was somewhere around 14 or 17 Dollars for the normal Red cans and Green cans I beleave was around 20 dollars

 

Recommended items are just suggestions of how to make a drive better for you, but if you don't have minimum requirements, you are going to have a bad time.
The amount of an extra fuel should be calculated based on your truck MPG, which all of us should already know.

For example my MPG is between 10.5L - 12L/100KMs so the truck can go on one full tank (around 80L) 600KM. In 4WD mode it will start consuming more fuel (up to 15L), so extra 60L is the minimum I should have to comfortably have around 1000KM available if I refuel at the start only.

Whatever works for you, I am keeping my super slow Canadian Tire compressor, it takes 4X more time to fill air vs what Joe and Peter have, but it never failed me.

P.S. While we were writing and discussing this I started realize that we sound like Clay from XO

 

I've got the bucket. Will need more of the bags to go with it too. That said if the option is there for digging a hole I might just do that

 

I was thinking to cut the bottom of the bucket out, dig a hole. Do the business. Cover it up, move on. But like you said, don’t want to be buring it if its not acceptable depending on the area

@NorilskSever always keeps me on the right track. Viair88p works perfect. Takes about 10
Minutes and its all good. Maybe one more 20L fuel tank and im set.

Costco cant be beat. 2 20L scepters jeep style for $21

 

On the topic of the bathroom, my setup is
-Luggable loo
-heavy duty garbage bags
-kitty litter
-pop up tent
-toiletries

From what I have read, it is illegal to throw out liquid waste in any garbage, however with the kitty litter, it is no longer liquid and you can legally throw it out (from my research on expedition portal and the internet).

Also, please remember to read the list carefully. The requirements are not huge requirements...and as long as your close (55 litres vs 60 litres). However, the safety equipment (medical kit, fire extinguisher) and recovery gear shouldn't be an exception....those are basic things everyone should have when off-road. Also you should know how to use them....

 

As long as you have fuel and feel safe carrying it on possibly bumpy roads you are good to go. Setups DO NOT have to be fancy like the rotopax stuff....they just have to work for you (and be safe....don't want people showing up with fuel in water bottles lol)

 

Again what ever works for you. I have been using a cheap compressor for a long time. Only reason I upgraded was because I got the Arb Twin compressor with my lockers....Other than that I would have still used the cheap one I had if it wasn't for the craziness that is the arb twin...

 

Peter, maybe at least 1 person should be packing a chainsaw..???? Just thinking that 1 tree can really mess up day if it's in the wrong spot..!! Axes..?

Sounds like you guys/gals are going to have fun..!!

 

My MPG is all city, I get 1/2 of what you posted here

My gas light just came on at lunch with 295KM on the trip meter, I know I USED to be able to do about 50KM when the light came on. Now I am scared to find out

 

Chainsaw would be good but I cant fit it on this trip, no where for mounting the awesomeness yet

Tree's dont stop me, I have hatchet, axe, and hand saw in the truck. I have used the little 14" handsaw to get through tree's I though way to big, just got a take it slower and use some lube!@ What a difference just a bit of oil can make with a hand saw and a larger diameter tree.

 

That's what you get for going with 33s I guess . I used to get around 400 KMs with the 32s and all the steel armour before plus roof rack.

I am happy with my Prius-Tacoma

 

absolutely. We could also do a lot with a winch and a snatch block and a bit of axe work.....I know @Joe23 is probably dieing to use his really cool axe...

I may just borrow the father inlaws chain saw for just in case....

 

dont get me started on mpgs......

 

Axe you say . Yes I'll gladly put my granfors bruk to work

 

ill race ya with my princess auto axe....(this is why we say everyone needs a medical kit..)

 

Legit dude I've tried others. The GB just glides through so easy.

Leo had a hard on for it how well it cuts.
And if we need a saw I got two different manual ones lol
