Stuck? Who me? Impossible! was unable to get up this bank as it was very bogged down on the left side. First time being properly stuck in the defender and loved every minute of it. Had the maxtrax out low traction mode going both diffs locked tried everything to make it up and couldn't.

@inater Love it!. Fantastically beautiful spot to have an unplanned break. No point having a dog and barking yourself. Recovery gear is for using.

Seems like quite the.......... crusade.



Your travels take you up to the PNW anytime soon? I think we share the same passion for stylish footwear.

A bit of a rocky track up to an alpine lake on Friday. Not needed for traction, but airing down sure makes these trips a lot more comfortable and gentler on the vehicle. A swim in this gin clear water after a sweaty hike was about as lovely as you'd imagine. Summer is in full-throated song right now. Butterflies and bees galore.

Haha love the edit and this trip looks epic as well. Jealous that you're so close to so many amazing spots!

Our weekend trip up Poison Mountain in BC

I'd love to connect with other defender owners in British Columbia who are keen for an adventure

Towed a 6500 lb load (crude your mom joke goes here) to a pretty nice spot in the mountains this weekend. Heaviest trailer I've towed to date.
