LOL. If I lose it out of the camper or back seat I"ve had a more than minor malfunction

Of course if you put a jack handle on your bumper and drive up and down a gravel road a few times, and make a couple of 20 plus mile trips, that jack handle will still be on the bumper a few days later when you walk around the back. Amazing what you can lose and what you can't lose.

If it's tight, it won't be loose!

But drop that nut and hear it hit the ground when working on something on that vehicle and never see it again. 🙄

My border crossing into Canada at Roosville was a breeze. I had 2 Rifles and a Shotgun. I had the paperwork filled out and had the guns in case and locked. They had me come inside. Checked my Passport and Firearm paperwork. I signed the paperwork and paid them $25.00 and was on my way. They didn't even check the Firearms. Ten minutes tops. Now coming back into the US at Porthill Idaho border. They asked a lot of ?s and went over all my paperwork and hunting license. Had to unload one cooler for them to inspect the meat and for some reason they insisted on seeing the Moose antlers. They wanted to see all the coolers but changed there mind when they saw how much stuff there was to unload. Asked several times if I had any parts of the Wolf I shot with me. Took 30 - 45 minutes to get back in US. It was late at night and they might of been bored. Good luck on your trip.

Yep....and any spring, when removed from a firearm is lighter than air. If it shoots across the bench it’s gone into thin air. 😁

EXACTLY some of our experiences. US citizens going into Canada never really had much of an issue. US citizens getting back into the US? Like we were criminals. Yet the border down here flows like a river, 24/7/365 with illegals. At least it used to under Obama. Not sure how it is now. Still see no shortage of Mexicans in our area.

I travelled from Taylor to Fairbanks in 1959, with my grandparents (I weas ten). We travelled in a 1953 Buick Special and went up and back with no issues whatsoever. At that time, there was no pavement between Fort St, John and the Alaska border. Now, the highway is pretty good with a lot more traffic. The only negative is that there are fewer fuel stops and places to eat. I would expect that most modern vehicles should be just as reliable as a six year old Buick Special.
We travelled between our home, in Taylor, and Ft. Nelson and up to Summit Lake, frequently.
When we drove up to Whitehorse, a few years back, we had pretty new tires on the Matrix and some camping gear in the back (along with the Airdale). For those "just in case" scenarios, there was a Lee Enfield and a box of 215 KKSP's, on the floor, in the back seat. Next trip, I will carry extra fuel; the Matrix tank is just too small. If we take the truck and trailer, I'll carry a slip tank. GD

I"m wondering if AAA is even worth the money? A friend had it in AK. When we had a flat and the lug nuts would not budge, they told us it might be 48 hours before anyone could try to head that way. IF at all. some stuff about where we were (paxson IIRC) and others that are closer to FBks or such always had priority and they didn't have enough help or some such.

If its worth it, I"d obviously pay for it just for the single trip up in the spring and again in 2021 or so when I fly down and ride back up with Carolyn.

But I don't see the need if the help isn't there when you need it. And I get it that we'd likely be in the boonies if we need help, as anywhere else I'm fairly self sufficient.
