  1. Oil spilled in the wilderness is never good.. especially the oil sands type...
  2. Nothing.. she and I agree that it's more of a day for companies to jack prices up for a winter cash boost, which is just fine but not from my pocket... working nights all weekend anyways...
  3. Doug hit the nail on the head.. we spend 2 weeks in the bush in a trailer that is comfortable but not fancy. We bow hunt so we don't meet up with many others while out there and we can go years without shooting one. The point is getting out and slowing down for a couple of weeks. I wish the MNR had a better strategy for moose management than what we have now...
  4. Burger barn has $5 breakfast from 8 to 10 Monday to Friday... it's big and it includes coffee.. and no tax since it's on the six nations reserve.. better than the chains any day..
  5. Great tips... I use Kijiji for finding firewood.. I'm now hooked up with a fellow that has 10 acres that he let's me cut from. I just had to remove some of the dead stuff from his back lot that he wants to expand.. turns out that it was all red oak. I just renewed my mortgage at the lowest rate the bank will give me and all my credit cards are paid off. Of course my long suffering wife would like a real vacation for once so I better start saving....
  6. This certainly wouldn't do well with thick ice.. I think it might be worth maybe $100 but not 300.. it will sell well with the tech set...
  7. http://www.amazon.ca/Deeper-Portable-Fishfinder-Smartphone-Tablet/dp/B00GOJWQ08/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=AQ2N1KB99GEGF It's available at Amazon.ca ...
  8. I found it to be a bit weird too...
  9. I love the idea! Anyone hear of this or have one? https://buydeeper.com/fishing-type-ice-fishing
  10. From the top of the lake erie coke ovens I see open water where there was ice a week ago.. of course there was an ice breaker out there 2 weeks ago to keep it from getting too solid.
  11. every time I get firewood from the pile I set aside the fruit wood for making chunks.. beats buying it..
  12. I have a 12 or so year old Napoleon, a small webber for camping, one charcoal Bbq and a smoker too... when I replace the napoleon it will be with another but I can't see that happening for a while..it's built to last....
  13. My atv was doing the same thing.. I took the bowl off the carb and removed the needle.. crud had gotten into it.. this was a bush fix so thankfully it worked...
  14. I too pick up new tanks from the provincial parks. I only open the valve for 1 minute and I never get a full pound in the tank. With the price to fill at costco around $11 for the 20 lbs it costs well under a dollar per fill up. After filling and soapy water testing they get stored outside or on my heater. I got 5 hours of heat from my partly filled tank with my small heater. My hands tend to get cold so I have to have a heater...plus I'm getting old..lol
  15. I'm betting Walmart had a lot of influence over the suppliers which made it difficult for Target to fully stock shelves.. We'll never know what went on behind closed doors...

  17. I had an old school Coleman heater that heats mine well and my hut isn't a thermal...
  18. Beats working.... maybe..
  19. I would love a wolf pelt but after pricing them at gramps in Temagami I would say they are out of my price range. I'm a little superstitious so shooting one might not be for me either...lol
  20. I poured concrete and built an 8 by 12 wooden one with a peak inside height of 9 ft.. total cost of less then a grand even with electrical lines I installed. And unlike the prefab wood sheds the roof will never sag..
  21. We saw several last year during the moose hunt and they would answer to our cow calls almost every day we hunted. A mature bull followed our call to the edge of the bush we were in and just before he was in bow range 2 wolves started after him. He ran past us with them in pursuit for about 30 yards before they gave up knowing it was a healthy animal and they wouldn't catch him. This year we only heard them once... although they are tough on moose calves I like hearing and seeing them. Killing a few won't hurt the population but I don't condone a random slaughter...
  22. If it's a door with sidelights look to spend a bit more, otherwise $2000 should almost be enough. I'm not sure you need the triple pane some try to sell you but if either door is in the sun you might consider at least having argon gas. It should also include capping... I can't say it enough... Learn home renovation!! I do almost everything myself and I save thousands... and if I don't have the tools I go buy them and still come out ahead...
  23. A grizzled bunch for sure.. but then again some of the nicest people I know look just like your crew... amazing pictures...
  24. I think I would learn to do some of these things on your own. WAY too many people get taken because they aren't mechanically inclined. A small job that costs just a few hundred to do can end up costing well above a grand in no time.....
