That looked like an awesome trip. Congrats on doing it.


One quick question. What kind of storage containers were you using with the locks on top of your jeep?

I am interested in going on an expedition like trip over the summer and those containers look great.

They were Action Packers by Rubbermaid. Quite good, though the one on top got a bit squished. I was amazed that it never cracked, even in the -34 it held up. You should be able to pick them up at Walmart, we got a few of ours from Canadian Tire.

It's nice that some people like myself can dream and imagine the joy in planning and accomplishing a trip like this but guys like you take the initiative to make it a reality and share it with the rest of us. Thank-you
