Ready to hit the snow! Winter trails are finally here, so don’t forget the golden rule… air down for better traction and a much smoother ride.

Who’s getting out this weekend?

Who’s ready for winter adventures? The snow is here, the trails are calling, and let’s be honest… you’re definitely going to get stuck at some point.

But with our latest video, hopefully you’ll get stuck a lot less this season. Check it out!

The snow has finally arrived!

So here’s the real question… what’s your #1 tip for driving in deep snow?

This high-altitude road has towering mountain peaks on one side and a massive valley dropping away on the other. The Forester handled with no problem, but the views? Absolutely unreal.

Moments like this are exactly why I built this car for adventure!

I think we just found my new favourite spot in the BC backcountry. 🤯

The drive in was unreal, winding through the valley along the river, then climbing into an easy-but-technical trail that opened up to some insane fall colours and views the second we broke through the trees. But the real highlight? Camping right beside an alpine lake.

With almost a full moon lighting up the mountains, the whole place felt surreal. The night photo I grabbed doesn’t even look like it was taken at night; that’s how bright the moon was.

If you haven’t watched the adventure yet, definitely check it out. This one was something special.👇

There’s just something about waking up above the treetops… ☀️

Watching the first light hit the peaks while you’re camped beside an alpine lake, it never gets old!

Pretty sure I just found my new favourite spot. 🏔️ A fun trail, unreal views, and one of the best campsites I’ve had in a long time. Check out our latest and final video from the fall BC trip!

We pushed the Forester up a mountain trail to find this hidden alpine lake, and it was worth every rocky mile. This is what the Subaru-as-adventure-vehicle d...

Drove deep into the mountains and ended up finding this hidden lake to camp beside for the night. A quick climb, a few winding roads, and suddenly the whole valley opened up in front of us.

Another unreal spot on our latest Rocky Mountain trip!

Winter camping season is right around the corner, and honestly… I still love getting out there without a heater....

But I’m not gonna lie, having a little extra comfort doesn’t hurt. So I just finished building Diesel Heater 2.0, and this setup is way cleaner than the last one. The old heater worked great, but the setup and teardown took forever. Now it stays mounted in the car, and all I need is one hose and one connector. Super simple.
Can’t wait to test it properly on our first winter trip of the season!

If you want to see how the new build came together, the full video is up on the channel: https://youtu.be/W3xm1oY_KC4

Who else is gearing up for winter adventures?

Just wrapped up this little project and I can’t wait to put it to use! It took a bit of time to build, but honestly, I think it was totally worth it.

What do you think? Worth the effort?

Diesel Heater 2.0 is here! 🔥

Check it out, the old heater worked great, but the setup and teardown took way too long. The new version? It stays mounted on the car, and all I need now is one hose and one connector. Faster setup, quicker warm-ups, and way less hassle for winter camping.

Can’t wait to put this one to the test!

Winter camping in my Subaru Forester used to mean freezing mornings and cutting trips short. Not anymore. I built a custom diesel heater mounted in a Pelican...

Getting ready for winter camping season!

It’s finally time to start working on the diesel heater setup for the Forester. This has been on the list for a while, and I’m excited to get it ready for those cold-weather adventures ahead.
