TOY to ALASKA

**twinomad** · 02-05-2011, 06:28 PM

Well I'm ready for warmer weather and I'm heading for Canada and highway 97 to Prince George and then west to Prince Rubert. With just small shell to stuff everything I can go into and go just about any place there is something called a road. Toys can hide behind a couple of trees. It would be nice to have one of those tiny pop-up to keep the bears at a distance.

I've seen them just walk though canvas jeep sides to get food. Anyone know who or where those ting fold up types can be found.

anyone done this trip?

Welcome to the site! Wow, you call Canada warmer weather? haha, how's that been treating you?

What are you looking at getting, a pop-up camper or something to go on the back of your bed? Not sure that I've seen anything that will keep bears away.

Most bears will run away if you yell, well at least most black bears. I lived in alaska most of my life and we used to have a bear come and eat our garbage. we would just go outside and hit it with a wiffle bat and it would go away. Most bears won't bother you unless you have a lot of trash in your truck. they prefer garbage over real food.

you looked into the tents that they have for the fj dont know if the will fit on the truck or not

Why do you need a pop-up? What's wrong with just mounting a shell on the bed? Or are you talking about a trailer? I seriously doubt you'll have bear trouble unless you leave food in the truck unattended.

I'm curious to know if he made the trip since the post was in january. Like someone posted above, bears aren't really a problem if food and garbage are kept sealed.
