Navigator and Wheelman
Canada
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 เม.ย. 2013
Ursula is the Navigator, Dieter is the Wheelman. We escape the city any time we can and explore the roads less traveled. When we are not exploring, the Jeep and Camping Trailer maintenance takes a fair share of time. These are our escapades.
Starting a new year and a new passion. With the moon cycles, we'll publish a new episode. Why the moon cycle? Well, a week has no meaning for us when we are outdoors. However, the New Moon brings dark skies, the Full Moon reveals an amazing scenery. Enjoy our stories and we hope to see you out there.

The topic is accidents, bad luck and what tools can help you. We have three stories and the first is about an injury. A outdoor first aid course can you prepare for most situations.

This is not at all a survival guide, but three st...
Overlanding: Fire & Ice - Fire extinguisher & ICECO Fridge

We have the Fire Extinguisher in the Jeep for a long time and never used it. So the only feedback I can pass on is: “It looks cool behind the tinted glass”. However, I will pass on some of the research I did when the Dry Powder is actually expelled into the engine compartment or interior. Not good at all. Anyway, the one thing I found that actually work better is the Fire Blanket. And to top th...

Overlanding: Air Compressor for a smoother ride off-road
มุมมอง 6421 วันที่ผ่านมา
We bought the SmittyBilt 2781 Air Compressor a few years ago. The primary reason was a more comfortable ride on forest service roads. Deflating the tires to about 25 PSI reduces the vibrations from the road. A five minute task when deflating and a 10 minute task to pump up again for road driving. We spent the $100 more for the higher capacity model, well worth it. It pumps up one tire in about ...

Red Squirrel Road, Temagami off-road with Crown Land Atlas & Fish-ONline information
Hello, how far up bannerman rd are you able to go with a truck? Thank you. Same with ushimi rd.
We drove in about 20 km (both roads) and parked the Jeep. The road got very soft and heavy vehicles will create ruts. The hunters we met (October) used ATV and one had tracks. These roads are likely not accessible until a few weeks after all the snow and ice has gone. On both sides of the road is swamp and the water doesn't go anywhere. There are several side roads and they may be on more solid ground. Both roads have spots to setup camp. I'm sure the mosquitoes will love you 🙂.
@@NavigatorAndWheelman awesome thank you very much!
We forgot to add one more 'W' to the title. W for 'Whistling Steam Clock' on Water Street in Vancouver.
Hey Dieter, Great video with great ideas! Thank you also for the shout out! Cheers.
Thank you, yeah that was an interesting project. Stabbing the sidewall and fixing it. It kept the pressure for several months until I replaced the rubber.
Nice job need to get one of those jump packs
Thank you. Yes, peace of mind and hope you never have to use it.
Truly enjoyed this video. We were in Alma and many other spots in August and I kept thinking how it must look in the Fall.
The fall colours were amazing. West of Fundy National Park is Shepody Road. No traffic and a sea of colours. We have a video to inspire you.
Hey Dieter & Ursala, Wow! What a great video!!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures and culinary discoveries. 🦞
Thanks Dino. Staying at the campground near Alma made all the difference. Unlimited seafood, how can you improve on that.
Thanks Dieter! Interesting to find out there are so many covered bridges in New Brunswick.
Yes we were surprised too
Nice.
@@CheaperJeeperTV yeah, the colours is one thing. But being there undisturbed is amazing
Hey Dieter, Looks like a fun adventure! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
@@CheaperJeeperTV Thanks Dino, must be the Fun-dy National Park. And oh yeah, lobster season just started.
There is a put in for Temagami Lake at the end of Squirrel Road. Did you see it? Thank you
I don't know if there is one, sorry
Hey Dieter and Ursula, Fantastic video! Cheers
Thank you. Can you tell, I like trains 😎
Great video! I liked the drone footage. Cheers.
Thanks 👍
Nicely documented and narrated. Thank you.
Many thanks!
Would the DSS spot amber pro be good for fog?
yes, many reviews and studies favour amber over white in fog.
Great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
@@NavigatorAndWheelman we are heading to red squirrel lake soon and haven’t been there in 20 plus years. I am nervous about the road but it looks good
Do you recommend the Rigid DSS spots of DSS driving?
We have the RIGID DSS Pro Spots for over 5 years and no issues with them. They are strictly off-road lights. They offer two other options, the Drive and Flood version. I don't have any experience with them, only the Spot version. However, I can see some benefits with the Flood or Drive version since all off-road driving we do is usually slower than 60 km/h. I have another video about them @ th-cam.com/video/c7PvjPPMJKE/w-d-xo.html Yes, I can recommend these lights. We are very happy with their performance. Dieter
Lovely video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
My pleasure. Next time I take the flying saucer shuttle
That would make for a very popular video! 😊
Nice! It’s great to be able to make an espresso while enjoying the great out doors!!!Cheers.
Hey, we are not cavemen.😀
I saw Jackfish on the map when I was up there and wanted to go see it. I’m glad to see this video.
@@CheaperJeeperTV We'll show the remnants in one of the the next videos. There is so much train history around there.
Great set up. You have everything covered.
Thank you, yes, the roof rack is a game changer
Very enjoyable video! Thanks for the shout out. See you out there. Cheers.
Any time! The season just started
I’ve drove this road many times ….. beautiful
It really is!

Hey Dieter and Ursula, this was a very enjoyable video. I like the footage of driving on the Shield. It was nice to get a shot of the Trailer in as well. I’m looking forward to more. Cheers.
Thank you. We are working on the trailer as fast as the glue dries 🙂 The Timbren suspension will be one full video, there are too many topics that are nowhere documented. So stay tuned
Thank you Dieter and Ursula for a wonderful video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I grew up in Labrador City from 1960-1984. Living on the island of Newfoundland now. I’m your new subscriber 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! How can you drive a Jeep once you've driven a Lada?!?!?! Great pictures from the early years!
The Jeep is cheaper. Except electricity, everything else was insanely expensive. I remember that we used our 4 week travel budget in two weeks.
Looks like a fantastic trip. Thank you for sharing.
The first trip of the season is always special
If you said that this video was filmed in Finland I would have believed. Landscape is exactly the same here.
Very much so, the lakes and endless forests. We were a few weeks in Finland back in 1976 and followed the Rally of the 1000 Lakes. What a spectacle. I have some pictures from the race here www.stdi.com/stdi/home.nsf/ws/RALLY1976!OpenDocument
Thanks for sharing. I love exploring Northern Ontario.
So many amazing places up there.
Thanks for sharing your adventure! Liked the William Tell Overture one of my favorites!
Our pleasure!
Nice trip! Cheers.
It was! Amazing place up there around Fushimi Lake and Wolverine Lake
Looks a delicious way to enjoy three of my favorite things! Thanks for sharing!
Next time I'm holding back on the maple candy, the dessert is already a sugar rush 🙂
if you want to stay over night in Labrador City stop by the Gateway Labrador - Visitor Information Centre. I think they have 7 RV camp sites with full hookups. $25 night
Beautiful scenery and those old homes and walkways are amazing, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed
Great review
Thank you
I like your style. Point the vehicle in a direction and go. I followed your progress on my Backroads Software. Dead on. You have Wanderlust - ich auch !
Thank you. Yeah, still many trails not taken
Last May 5 I drove up to Ranger Lake (northeast of Sault Ste Marie) where I was hoping the ice was out (all clouds in satellite images for a month - lakes south of Ranger were clear of ice). It was full of ice, so I returned and went to Algonquin (which was also shut down for ice/mud). I left Toronto (couldn't sleep) at 6:00 PM, picked up my canoe, and headed north. At midnight I headed north from Blind River, and arrived (slow driving) at 2:30 AM. I left the next morning at about 8:00 AM after checking the area. From midnight to noon the next day, I saw, north of Blind River, along the roads: 2 moose, 1 bear, 3 deer, 2 foxes, 1 turkey, and a raccoon. Awesome.
That does not happen often to see such a variety in one single day. You were lucky
Thanks for bringing us along on the trip! Starting off wth chips was a nice start! 😉
Any time! That is survival food in the outdoors
Beautiful country
It sure is
Great information.
Thank you
Thank you for posting this, a very enjoyable video. Cheers.

Thats the full effect of canping in northern Ontario...the blackflies and mosquitos.. the tings we endure to enjoy nature...but most times its well worth the bug bites...good video...take care

Black fly heaven. I agree, like my washrooms, showers and power.
Yeah, there is a fine line between 'Black fly heaven' and 'hell', but I fully agree.
oh no ! :D
Hey Dieter, That must have been a wonderful trip for the two of you. Cheers.
Yes, it was
Really enjoyed the video and narration as we plan a trailer trip from Ontario.
Thank you, it is an amazing trip.
