A lot of B-Stocks were just added to the B-Stock Page. Been a while since Gumby's were B-Stock.

Some roads allow chains... studded tires... it varies by province (and I suspect by municipality). My fellow Canucks just need to slow down.

Black Yggys are now available, too.

Woof. Need to keep saving up the beer funds.

Wow. $599 for a Vidar and $499 for a Bimby. Decent!!

Jason, do all the upgradable B-stock DACs include the Gen5 USB?

Having lived several winters in Fairbanks, AK (I saw -50F absolute not wind chill many times), I can sympathize with your getting stuck in the snow (happened to me a couple of times on the Fort, one time road being too narrow for me and the fire truck heading the other way). I always rolled with a tow strap amongst lots of other emergency gear in my Subaru or other vehicle.

Hopefully this doesn't go "political" but I'm of the drive slower (with studs where legal) and get there mentality when the weather gets bad (like the front coming in now here in the US) or further from help. In Alaska those lacking in common sense tend to end up dead from either the weather or the wildlife. In my opinion driving from Fairbanks to Anchorage (6 hours in the summer) or back to the lower 48 via Canada (days in summer) is only for the very prepared or the dumb in winter

I have recently watched a bunch of the (probably over dramatised) "Highway Thru Hell" show on Netflix. They showed some very foolish driving antics in terrible winter conditions, and the lack of prep/understandig of some of the drivers was scary. They were lucky in many cases. I don't know why anyone would want to drive in the winter there unless you absolutely had to. There should be more like you on the roads - prepared.

Well, engineers are presumably not dumb.

38 is very hot. -20 is very cold. Or to quote Midnight Oil / Beds are Burning "The western desert lives and breathes In 45 degrees" (very very hot)
