A quick note to say hello and goodbye. I have not logged in or posted anything since your contributions were censored in early May. I feel the portal is much less relevant than 15 years ago when I logged in at Christophe Noel's urging as he wound down his site which I frequented often. Stay safe...

Well, I guess I am out of here. Please close my account.

I have one at the cottage and use marbles. Not very good with it but It hits hard, We don't have many Rabbits but Grouse are plentiful.

I have had Leatherman tools since my first one (you might call it a classic) in about 1990 (sorry if I got the date wrong). One of the people at work thought I was crazy for paying $75 for a pair of pliers but he would borrow it 5 times a day. When we were working on the new Fire Station and...

I brought my Nephew up to the cottage in November because he wants to learn how to hunt and I am the only one in the family that does. On the last day I managed to shoot what I thought was a doe (you need an anterless tag which I had) 15 minutes after legal hunting and got this spike instead. My...

I love bacon... I might be able to start hunting them here soon.

Or you could stop breathing, I know... not very helpful. Ventilation is the key. And as mentioned, no propane heat. You will have to accept the fact that condensation happens. Unless of course you have a nice woodstove or electric heater. I have found that a nice sleeping bag (I use a Woods...

I reread the title and it asked what is the top tool. No where did it say the only tool... As a matter of course, any vehicle I drive anywhere has an air compressor, shovel, jack, snatch strap, extra fuel, extra water, a change of clothes, blanket and cell phone (all but useless in 90 percent...

Thanks for posting this. Ever since I met Rolf and Gundel, read about Bill Caid and then purchased my 404 I have been enamored by Unimogs. I never understood the Jeep thing ( my first 4X4 was a Lada Niva ) but Unimogs I get....

It was -25 C on the way up to my cottage on Saturday morning. All our vehicles have factory installed block heaters. Heck, they cost less than $100 and it beats having to build a fire under the oilpan in the morning. My brothers place north of Thunder Bay has been around -24 C for a bit now. I...

How did I miss this thread... For as long as I can remember, we have had bacon roasts at the cottage. You take a slab of smoked bacon, cut it into 3cm by 12cm chunks, skewer it on a hot dog cooking rod (I don't know what else to call it) and slowly cook it over the fire. I add a sliced onion and...

So why did you buy a carbon fibre bike? In 1986 I bought an aluminum bike (Cannondale ST400, s/n 000006) and it was a game changer (still have it). Why can't a person buy a carbon fibre camper if they can afford the freight? Also, do we know if they are using lithium? Doesn't Chevy build truck...

I am so happy she made it through. I interrupted my life last year while Katherine had her cancer surgery (she is down to 1/2 of 1 kidney, a tumour took the first one when she was 5). I got really good at giving her sponge baths and changing her dressings when we couldn't get to a hospital up...

We have winter all over Canada. It is never unusual to have snow on or before our Thanksgiving (this weekend). This is a picture from my Moose hunt at the camp near Gogama in 2006. I was wearing a t shirt the day before. I still hopped into the canoe and paddled to the pothole lake 1/2 km up...

Yeah, kind of like a 416 or my 404 but they are out there doing it. It's likely they are fine with it. I seem to remember them from about 10 years ago, don't know if it was on this site or not.
