Yes, so off we ventured for trip #1 of the OFT experience...
With Subaru Forester packed to the gills with the"bare necessities" we headed to Quadra Island--one of BC's northern Gulf Islands. Quadra has held a place in our hearts for many years with or without "The Big Lebowski" --our term of endearment for our ill-fated Class B.
Good gear seems to be the secret to OFT'ing as our various maladies (sore backs, bones and bums) deter us from hitting the ground with a meagre sleeping bag and a smile as in days of old. We have invested in a 6 man 10'x12' tent that you can stand up in. It even came with a cool LED light. We also splashed out on 2 folding camp cots which flip out in no time flat with no assembly required. The latest addition to the arsenal were two lovely sleeping bags from MEC. Very reasonably priced and the scrunch up nicely into their stuff bags. So, it's all systems go...
