Driving the KVR Trail | Chute Lake Lodge to Kelowna, BC + Chevrolet ZR2 & Off-Grid Trailers Review
Join us for the final episode of our five-week family adventure from Northeastern Ontario to Telegraph Creek in Northern BC in this thrilling RU-vid video. Embark on our Overlanding journey as we drive through rugged terrain with our young kids and trusty dog, culminating in a 10-day canoe trip down the Lower Stikine River into Alaska.
In this episode, we pack up from our stay at Chute Lake Lodge in a charming rustic log cabin. Get an in-depth review of the Chevrolet ZR2 pickup truck that has been our trusty companion on this adventure, as well as a comprehensive look at the Expedition 2.0 off-road test drop trailer by Off-Grid Trailers.
As we hit the KVR trail with its breathtaking views, traverse old logging roads, and encounter a large rattlesnake along the way, the excitement doesn't stop. Follow our journey as we conclude our expedition in Kelowna, BC, before embarking on the long drive back home through the prairies, across the north shore of Lake Superior, and finally returning to Ontario late at night after an unforgettable adventure.
Don't miss the thrilling conclusion of our epic family Overlanding and canoeing expedition in this action-packed RU-vid video!
Check out my wife Tori on Instagram for more great videos and photos with the kids.

What a trip! The kids definitely are troopers and tough. They toughed it out thru rain, wind, whatever. Great views in the canyons and Rockies. The lodge was very nice. The off road camper was just the thing for your travels. I have a teardrop camper which I enjoy also. Not off road tho, but comfortable and fun. Only 850 lb. Thanks for taking us along on this epic family adventure! Take care.

Jim. Awesome family adventure! BUT, you owe it to yourself to checkout the F150 Powerboost before you buy another truck. It is a hybrid with cty/hwy mpg rating of 24mpg. It has more power than you Chevy, with 430hp and 500 lb/ft of torque and most of the torque is below 2000 rpm. Your truck is constantly hunting for the right gear. The F150 Powerboost just locks in at 1500-1800 rpm and stays there until you top the hill. My trailer is twice as heavy as yours and it pulls is with ease. The cherry on top is the 7.2kw built-in generator. It will power your camp (or home) for a week on less than a tank of gas. It is a trailer campers dream!

Too bad you didn't have more time to explore southern BC. The KVR is a great trip & the road from Kelowna through to Needles & Cherry Ville into the Kootenays will take you back out just south of Revelstoke. P.S. The cable car at Revelstoke is cheaper & you can ride down the ski hill on a rail sled.

I’m a big Toyota fan for sure. Not sure how they stack up on long term reliability but trucks in general are pretty darn good in that area. My 1019 ram with a VVT engine has a higher rating than the Tundra for that year for example.

Okanagan Mountain Park has them which borders the KVR and if your family thinks they stay within park borders 🤷🏼‍♀️ lol best advice I follow is I try and hike shoulder seasons or winter in areas they are to avoid them, another thing I learned is they are able to go underground and survive when forest fires happen as when I worked forest fires we got warned to watch when cold trailing near Kamloops in 2017-2018 as they would show up after so don’t assume burn areas areas are safe either

We drove about 5000 km each way. It is hard to tell on this trip because we were pulling but with the larger engine, you’re not revving so high all the time while pulling so it’s a lot better than you would expect. Not 17mpg though.

My 5.7l toyota tows more than your truck and I wouldn't subject my family to the tub you did. You can get a rugged towable with a descent kitchen and place to sleep with master bed and bunks that is better than what you brag about. Shame on youl!!!
@JimBairdAdventurer
@JimBairdAdventurer 2 месяца назад
Haha, well first of all I’m not bragging. Also, the point of this trailer is that there are bunks or indoor kitchen and it’s a lot lighter, more rugged, way smaller and easier to get into places and turn around but most of all, it means we are outdoors more. “Subjecting my family to the outdoors” I don’t think you really get the point here.
