I’m in the process of splitting our blog into 2 (or more) sections as it is getting too big.
I’ve created a sister blog, “ Travails of an Oka” which will comprise all the technical articles I’ve created, retaining this blog (Travels with an Oka) as our main travel blog.
Yes, I know Travails is a very silly play on words but it means “to engage in painful or laborious efforts“, which seems to fit exactly the activities of your average Oka owner.
Currently all our articles are still on our original blog, I’ve simply copied them across and re-ordered them, but any new technical blogs will only appear on the Travails blog.

I’ve added a post on the Safety Equipment we carry in our Oka and includes a section of the treatment of snake bite. Not sure if this is a Travels or Travails document, maybe both.
