Das Boot has been running great and getting me into (and out of) some pretty remote sites. I thought a few photos were in order...

That first photo was taken in Trail, so you were not looking in my Van. I saw a Delica in Osoyoos on the way (white one). I am a wildlife biologist and spend a lot of my time crashing through the bush, either on foot, or in a vehicle of some kind so I can continue on foot. My van has out performed all other field vehicles including my favorite (until now) 1986 toyota 4WD. I have logged over 10K in the last 4 months for work, and no, sorry, no openings at present.

Nice job! Nice Delica! Nice Pictures!

Definitely envious that you are able to be out in the wilderness AND get paid to do it. That said... I think I can speak for all of us... we expect to see more pics!

Cheers!

I am still working - if you can call it that. I have been spending a lot of time in the Columbia and Kootenays. My van rules.

cool what type of wildlife do you study? My oldest brother was (I think he has moved up in the last couple years but I don't pay attention :)) the large carnivore specialist for BC.

Thanks for the comments.

Loki - The wildlife I study varies with each project, but mostly focuses on non-game wildlife and their habitat associations. That said, In NW BC I am monitoring a grizzly bear population, in SE BC it's non-game wildlife (furbearers mostly like wolverine, lynx, etc.) and songbirds, in the Columbia its amphibians ad reptiles... Pretty good chance I know your brother.

Those pictures are perfect examples of Delicus Canadensis in it's natural habitat.

See: http://www.delica.ca/forum/collective-n ... tml#p12653 for more biological information on the species.
