Found some cool new singletrack and interesting terrain near Cameron river in Port Alberni. The entire Cameron river valley is cool actually, lots of huge cliffs and boulders and interesting geography.

Everyone in the backcountry should have a winch imo, or if you can't afford one, a come-along and tow straps at the bare minimum. Even more so when wheeling solo.

For anyone new to wheeling reading this, there is a good thread from years back with some great suggestions for the best gear to bring wheeling. It's worth the time to figure out your gear now, before you find yourself stuck in the bush needing it.

Anyway glad you were able to get the trucks extracted. I would look into expanding your recovery gear all around, even if only for helping others stuck in the bush.

Awesome, glad to hear it. Yea that last little section can be tricky for sure, luckily it's not too far from the falls.

Did an excellent ride yesterday up Wesley Ridge from Whiskey Creek. The trail gains some nice elevation with several killer view points overlooking the ocean to the north, Cameron Lake to the south, and Horne Lake to the west. The trail was a mixture of double and single track with some steep technical climbs and tight tree sections in between. Lots of rocks and roots and the Sur Ron ate it all up. Overall distance was around 40km, with ~1200m elevation gain. Made it back with 30% battery remaining which was surprising given the elevation gain and that we were on the trails for over 6 hours. Also I was riding with some big gas bikes on this one and the Sur Ron was able to hang no problem. Really happy with how the bike is performing overall.
