Sunday night? I was driving home Sunday morning.
Thanks D. I had my dates and days all crossed in my head.
So I have some questions about next week:
Please consider the following first timer with this type of trip and going to nordegg, and also a bit foreign so...
1) Gas Needs-> Where do you guys usually fill your jerry cans? Is 100 litres enough for the needs of the weekend or will I need more (or less)?
is it illegal to take jerry cans INSIDE the car (trunk) in Canada. I've run into issues elsewhere with this.
2) The way I have my week scheduled, I'll be arriving to nordegg at 9 pm on Thursday, is this going to be an issue, should I look at revising my thursday- slim chance but possible. more importantly, will someone still be at the bar if I and my Copilot (hahah) get there at 9 pm.
3) sway bar bushing started making a slight rattle when going over bumps, fix it before or after?
3) I'm taking what I think I need including rubber boots, a gas stove for trail side espresso, some water as I drink a lot of water, some friendly snacks, additional beer, rum and perhaps crown supply, and extra pairs of underwear... judging by the recent weather patterns, am I missing something crucial?
4) What's the interest on trail side coffee, should I take a big espresso maker or small?
More so concerned about the fuel and explosive fine, I had to deal with bribing national guards at checkstops for this.

Sounds like you are good to go. Everything there is within standard parameters, I hope I can stick to you're itinerary. It's sounds way more organized than mine.
not sure what my cans are, but they are not fancy military ones, they're traded from my friend after he sold his boat type.
are those ok?

You're going to be fine!! Quit stressing! Don't fill your jerries until you get to Nordegg, I imagine most of us will top up when we leave in the morning. Other than the potential stink, no issues with jerries in the truck, I doubt very much we will see any authorities...unless we do something really dumb!
Don't worry about your bushing either, it will be fine.
