JUNE 29 to JULY 6th 2012 
THESE ARE ON TRAIL DATES.
we will leave the parking lot the morning of JUNE 29th at aprox 9 am .plan on a 12-14 hr day the 1st day to reach where we will have the 1st base camp.
everyone should plan on being up here 2 days before the run so you can have a day to rest and a day to get food and do any last minute repairs on the rigs.will have a rig inspection that day also to double check that all the rigs are ready to go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
min requirements
38" mud tires-
1 locker
winch prefered-min 2 winch rigs to 1 non winch rig
gas for 300 miles off road-figure it at 4 mpg-thats what we have been averaging
tow points front and rear
recovery strap
spare or means to fix a torn sidewall
shovel
high lift
seat belts for each person riding in the rig
first aid kit
gloves for winching
tent-unless planning to sleep in your rig
basic tools and any specialty tools needed for
your rig
if open topped rig must have roll bar
cb radio or hand held frs
recomended items
spare parts*************LOTS
rain gear
warm clothes-can get in the 20-40s at night
flash light and batterys
tarp to cover tent
prepare for bad weather and cold temps.
heres the minumum stuff. as the trips are planned we might add more stuff.also prep the rigs for deep water crossings.if we decide to cross the mclaren river it can be 5 ft or more deep.other crossings average up to 4 ft deep in places plus the hidden holes.
the tire size could be dropped to 35 IF the rig is locked FRONT AND REAR and has a winch.but the tires would need to be a very aggressive tire-ie boggers etc.no standard mud tires and def NO ALLTERRAINS.
we have run fullsized rigs in this area on 35s and they tend to just sink in the holes.
i realize a trip like this would be the trip of a life time for a lot of you and i would want to beable to cover as much ground back there as we can with out always being stuck.
one trail we took took us 13 hrs to go 12 miles. 1st 4 miles took 9 hrs.
i do have extra sets of tires that could be used 37s and wide 35s that will fit 1/2 tons.if your running a 1/2 ton locked front you will need to bring 2 complete sets of front shafts because you not be able to climb monument in 2wd.and the idea of being chained to a rig climbing that hill is a scary thought.
as far as hunting it is open black and brown bear season in that area year round.you will need to get with fish and game to see what the out of state requirments are.most of the rivers and creeks have dolly vardon and trout and greylings in them.plus there ptarmigans if you like bird.
canada has some strick gun rules.check before you bring them-wouldnt want to lose tham at the border.if needed i can get a gun dealers info so you could send them up threw them.
