Ontario BS Thread

Yeah the pros and cons of various sleeping options have been discussed time and time again. Cost, weight, ease of entry (think climbing down an RTT ladder to pee at night), ease of set-up, ground requirements (can't drive tent pegs into rock slabs), blah blah.

Being able to sleep in the vehicle was one of factors that led me to choose a Tacoma with 6' bed. If I used a ground tent, other more maneuverable vehicles like FJ or 2-door Wrangler/Bronco become options.

 

No, they don't.

Rav4, 4runner or FJ only or gtfo.

 

Very useful, thank you.

 

lmao, I know that Tacoma

 

That's your crew, is it not?

 

Was the wife’s truck, traded it in on a VW Tiguan back in the fall. Will hopefully have myself into a new truck by the Ardbeg clean-up.

driving a brand new defender, I wonder if those are easy to be stolen like Toyotas.

 

I'd add camp stove, cooler/fridge and lights( headlamp and camplights)

 

And bring swimming pants!

 

Pike is open all year. Will bring some rods and minnows this year.

 

No one told you about the parasites in Black Lake?

 

Meh, trunks are overrated. Return to nature.



“Don’t forget to bring a towel. When you get out of the lake you’re gonna be all wet. That’s why Towelie says, don’t forget to bring a towel.”

But seriously, that lake is hella cold in June/July/Aug, I’d expect to see ice chunks still floating in May.

 

And here I thought I was pissing out kidney stones after my last dunk in the lake

 

What are those?

Eugene's sentinels

 

My new swimming gear.

 

*grease gun with needle nozzle. Might as well make a waterproof seal

 

Yikes! More things I just didn't need to know about...

 

Road trip!
