Got it. Thank you!

Thanks for your patience - you have a DM :)

Same here, haven’t heard anything. Nor have I… Good morning, My apologies for these delays - Here's what I understand: everyone who applied for the program has received an email from our automated system within a day or two of their application. A couple of you have reached out over...

You should have what you need now by email and in a DM. Thanks for your patience.

Again, thank you! I really appreciate this community's support. Let me know if you have any issues, questions or feedback - it's essential to our success. J.S.

Good point but when I have cell coverage, I'm not sure how much my zoleo will be powered on. I did "sign up" but haven't seen any email (could have missed it). How long does it normally take to receive something? Thanks. You should have received the invitation to the screening step, but if...

​Good morning kmcintyre, Thanks for your interest! That is part of the careful balance with safety alerts, especially weather watches and warnings. We are still working hard on developing our service, and one area we will work with our early users over the coming weeks is to understand...

Good morning Dennis, Gee how's it work.when to website an very little information. Our website provides a high-level view of how it works, partly to protect some of our “magic”, and partly to keep the message simple. Did you find the “How It Works” page -...

​Thanks Greg! Saw your application come through, which is exciting - after months of work, it’s nice to see people’s reactions. We’ll send you a survey to learn more about your use in the next day or two as we try to get a good cross-section of users and use cases. Agreed on “travellers” being...

Hey everyone, I have enjoyed this community for many years for trip inspiration and as a place to learn about new products and solutions. So, as I am looking for people who enjoy remote adventures to test a new service I have launched, I thought I'd reach out to the community here. Almost...

Happy to help - I remember they were a pain to find, under cables <shrug> - https://www.coolgear.com/product-category/cables/usb-extensions

I have been using Coolgear USB-C power supplies for a few years now and they can’t be beat. I chose those units because they could power/charge my MacBook Pro in addition to fast charge iPads, etc. And deliver 140w + The only downside side is that they don’t come in a form factor where you can...

I’ve never used peat moss (and n part for the sustainability reasons) and my favourite medium is coconut coir. I’ve even ordered some from Amazon in small quantities (look up Poo Poo Pucks) which is extremely convenient. I’ve also had good luck with hamster bedding material which is easy to...

Sorry - no experience with either of those but my next build will likely be a Compocloset Cuddy. I’ve had a Nature’s Head for nearly five years and absolutely love composting/separating toilets! It’s an amazing way to manage #1 & #2 without a black tank, without chemicals and smells - easy to...

If you are looking for an alternative to the InReach units, it’s going to be tough. Two companies/products that seem to be making inroads in that space are Zoleo and Bivy Stick. Both solutions are staying in the very basic device space, without a screen, instead using an app on your phone to...

I’ve used Baja Bound once and used a membership to Vagabundos del Mar (a Baja focused travel club) and their insurance partners the other. The insurers through Vagabundos were a little bit cheaper and I was able to insure through Chubb which is a larger global insurance company that probably...

We will likely be there for a couple of months after Christmas so I’ll keep an eye on plans that take shape here, if you don’t mind ;) We have travelled to Baja twice in the last five years and can’t recommend it enough … especially as it’s changing and it’s “resort”/“gringo” areas continue to...

Boondocking in a lot of Quebec towns is relatively easy, as many towns have created designated free non-serviced overnight areas, similar to what you’d find in some parts of Europe. At the same time, other towns are not interested in boon dockers at all. Probably a reflection of the experience...

That sounds like a great way forward. An AWD model wasn’t available but I would do that now if I was starting a new build on the Transit. That modest lift and AWD with the low gearing is really all you need I suspect. The biggest improvements came from the shock upgrades. I should also...

I have a 2017 medium roof transit and did upgrade the suspension - VanCompass lift front and back, Bilstein shocks upfront, Fox in the rear with custom leaf springs. It was a significant investment but made a world of difference in vehicle handling and Forest road behaviour. It will never be a...

Don’t know as I’m not in Bc right now but I do know it’s been really, really wet (even by PNW standards) this spring. They weren’t closed last winter (full Covid) so I doubt it’s Covid related. When I looked up Elk Island it showed open. Closer to Victoria is Rathtrevor PP in Parksville...

Elk Falls Provincial Park is just outside of Campbell River (300kms or so from Victoria) and is quite nice. It should be open. There are also lots of recreation sites north of Campbell River that you could look into that should also be open (most of them aren’t really closed even off season)...

Love the app! I would really appreciate if it was available on the Canadian App Store too [emoji41]

Very sad end to an easy to understand error. What is really tragic is that a satellite communicator like an InReach, Zoleo, etc would have prevented a great deal of this - not getting lost or stuck but it would have enabled family to get an accurate location for the couple and allowed the couple...
