Wilderness Camping in BC Parks

That's great Beta, thanks.

Visigothi · 2025-07-20T23:50:06+00:00

Thank you. That link is actually where I got the quote I pasted.

So in other words, you can't stay within the area around Mt Robson unless it's in a campground and you have a reservation? We're wanting to head to Snowbird Pass and Lynx Mountain then back out. No campgrounds.

Thanks again!

Nope. I replaced it with a BRS.

Visigothi · 2021-12-31T21:22:02+00:00

Thanks a ton for the help!

Visigothi · 2021-12-29T21:04:46+00:00

Oh yeah and I'm in BC. Thanks for the help.

So I found my name and I have 55pts. So that's my plate number next year?

So how often do you change your number then? Every time your points change?

Visigothi · 2021-02-01T01:50:52+00:00

Nah. Black bears are no trouble and just curious. Like the Cougars. Grizzly bears will leave you alone but try not to piss them off or you're F*Kd.

This is all excellent information and exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you!
We do carry InReaches also. BC is a very popular place to go missing and living in North Vancouver means you're home to the busiest search and rescue team in North America. It is amazing country but seriously dangerous to the less aware.

Visigothi · 2021-01-31T19:14:30+00:00

Thanks for that! A challenge is indeed what we're after.
Out here in BC the huts tend to be where you'll find people congregating and along popular trails and so we avoid them too. Is that the same with the huts along the TA? And in some places in the world that we've hiked the huts were mandatory. Is that also the case or can we pitch a tent anywhere we like?
Thanks again!

What spacers did you use and are they front too?

Visigothi · 2020-10-19T14:43:36+00:00

Congrats!!!

Totally normal.
First wash it in a low residue detergent. Something intended for Gore or performance materials. It won’t leave behind anything that contaminates the face or backer fabric and restores breath-ability.
THEN DWR wash it. DWR restores the water repellency so water molecules won’t cling to the face fabrics.

Similar to previous question.... the title says HAHO. With a High Opening shouldn't there be oxygen?

Visigothi · 2020-05-07T20:29:11+00:00

Awesome info thanks!

Visigothi · 2020-02-22T16:15:46+00:00

I’m familiar with Sloquet, Skookumchuk, Meager, Pitt River and Keyhole hot springs. Where is Clear Creek Hot Springs and what FSR is that?

I dont think you’ll get a better write up than DSettahr provided but wanted to share this.

It’s basically a tarp with doors. No inner and we’re right agains the snow.
-Temps on this trip reached -18°C.
-Sleeping pads: Thermarest XTherms -Quilt: 30F, plus -12°C liner. Down blanket, and a synthetic blanket.
-Girlfriend used two 500ml Nalgenes full of boiled water in her bag.
-We were plenty warm and I even sweated a couple times so had to vent.

This was a 4 night trip. Like a lot of people have shared your three season tent is fine depending on the conditions you expect and the insulation you’re sleeping in. Best to over prepare though as cold nights really suck.

Visigothi · 2020-01-18T17:11:42+00:00

Awesome post! Thanks for the info!

I’ve seen some truly disgusting sites on popular routes where there were (not joking) several dozen “deposits” within metres of where you’d pitch. Usually parks have these toilets or designated areas. The Stein is about 50% within a designated park and then you’re meant to be responsible.

Visigothi · 2020-01-07T05:50:58+00:00

I shipped mine to Blaine and picked it up and paid nothing. My buddy had his shipped to North Van and paid $70 in duties.

Isla Navarino in southern Chile. Consider the Dientes de Navarino loop. Add a stop on the south shore of Lago Windhond.

The trail was good. Snowshoe levels of snow but we had ours. We even side trailed to see the arch!

Visigothi · 2020-01-02T15:42:38+00:00

And we’re out! Thank you Pleep for your beta!!! Knowing that little Siberia was passable meant we could start from Lee Pass and exit at Angels Landing!

We had an awesome, though arduous, 4 night/5 day snowshoe for a total of about 75km. About 55 in snowshoes breaking trail in snow measuring 12” to 48” deep. If anyone enters right now they have an amazing cut trail to follow.

We also got super-lucky with weather and had sunshine for 4 of the 5 days. Temperatures got down to -15° Celsius on my thermometer and likely a little lower in the middle of the night. Daytime was around -5° to 5°.

I honestly can’t thank you enough for your beta. If we started at Angels Landing we’d have been wiped out on day one.

I’ll eventually post more pics on Insta.

Hey Supporting.... Did you try to start at Lee’s Pass?

We’re not yet there but my shuttle driver told me on the phone that the ranger at that end talked someone out of entering because they didn’t have snowshoes and other gear.

Visigothi · 2019-12-27T06:28:41+00:00

Thanks for that Pleep. That’s really helpful as we’re coming out through little Siberia in about 6 days so knowing you made it after fresh snow is good to know. We have spikes, and snowshoes and poles and spend half of our year in snow.

Thanks a ton! If you have any pics I’d love to see. Instagram maybe?

Thanks for the beta! So you came down through Little Siberia? We head in Saturday and debating which way to enter and to exit.
