  1. A ha, so you're the one that's been messin around with that female peacock...
  2. Took a drive to the Big Store at Vaughn this morning to pick up a few items going under the tree. Then made my way over to the portable huts and had a sit down in each one, check price, quality of material, etc. A little sign on each one says, "If used, don't return to B Pro", sounds like good customer service, eh? Then took a look at the "Red " store brand, unless you're a vertically challenged person, you're not getting into it. Then taking a hard look at the workmanship, ie, stiching of the seams on the material and quality of the sled and the cheap seat, ya, tells you where it's from. Surprisingly, even the insulated Clam didn't impress me, when inside, the quilt stitching looks like checkerboard pinholes throughout the material, not too good. The only one I would have taken regarding price and quality of tent material was the Team Wild 2, made by Otter. Just an opinion and I know everyone has one, but, before you buy, take a real hard look, 'cause there's no bringing them back.
  3. Ya, just the attitude a prospective buyer would love to hear, just like when I had a GM product where warranty was denied before it ran out, cost me $700, and when I called Oshawa customer service and asked for help, their response was, "If you don't like it, buy something else", well guess what, SINK!
  4. Well, not to discourage you, only wish the best for your endeavour, but, with todays economy, $300 is just a tad high, like Camp-it said there's a lot of others that can be had for a lot less. If it was for maybe $80-100, you may get some takers. There's so many variations of sleds available that it really takes an "improved" product to catch the eye. Then like you say, you have to sell a lot of them to make it worthwhile. I don't know if your model would be "armstrong friendly" ie, no sled or ATV to pull it, it may be just too heavy when the snow is too deep.
  5. You...are being cruel to my tastebuds. Now I'm going to have to look for my Moms recipe for those.
  6. to the Judge! She's got my vote. Well just saw the video of him snarfin and boohooing, The Judge us a lady.
  7. They want $350 for a standard letter outling any recalls on a particular model of sled? Hope they get laid off too, They want business, here, apply some vacuum to this.
  8. And then you wake up with a headache, outa money and smelling like the aftermath of a bad, bad, can of chilli.
  9. Depends what you're fishing for, you can make your own basic tip ups from scrap wood, if you're looking at the thing with the flag, well I'll leave that alone.
  10. Go check the on line flyer at Tromblys Tacklebox.com they have a good sled on sale.
  11. Man you hit that one square on the head, something like the way Government does thing, if it doesn't work, hold a royal commission.
  12. We had a large number of coyotes about 5 years ago in our area doing that to dogs, never mind wolves, get out of the bubble and introduced to the harshness of nature. Give me a break
  13. Just amazing how many poo-poo the eating of certain species, but I'll bet dollars to donuts, most of those naysayers have crammed their guts full of crap from the Church of the Red Haired Clown along with an unhealthy helping of Col Sanders greasy buzzard, topped off with a deserts that are made of ingredients that the average Joe can't pronounce or even have an infintessimal idea of what it is. How about a helping of GMF which are widespread, not enough, have some more hormone laced beef or pig. Why is it that lobsters and crab are priced beyond the average persons budget, but 50 years ago, only the poor would eat it 'cause it was considered garbage. How about escargot's, (snails), bottom eaters where the turds lay. Hmmm, just add a bit of garlic butter. Hipocrites. Forgot to include, what do trout eat, flies and bugs, lets just eliminate the middle digester and eat flies.
  14. Kinda makes me wonder, I thought hairy bags (anchor clankers) used "bells" instead of army time. Lew should know..
  15. And didn't we just have a poll how many would end up this way... well here's number one.
  16. Well it's like having a Cadillac or a Honda, both get you to the same place, one costs a whole lot more, and unless Uncle Buck is sitting in your hut with his Marcum stuck down your hole, I don't think it's much of an issue. I've fished close enough to others (about 50-60 feet away) in 40 feet deep with no interference on my Aqua-Vu(Showdown). I only paid $199 for mine and the bigger feature I like is that it reads like a regular graph, much easier to see where the bottom, bait, and fish are. And don't let anyone crap you that it's not fast.
  17. Well, I guess the camera is going to get a workout tomorrow, thanks.
  18. Hope you didn't send them your avatar Okay now how did you do it? Not that I want to stiff Wmart for a buck, just out of curiosity
  19. From MTO site, what Tracker said.
  20. I like the "load/thickness" chart, makes total sense not to park like at Walmart, but then again you can't even give common sense away to some people.
  21. Ya, got a No frills just short of the Highway 90 bridge and the CTC and the rest are supposed to go right beside it. They cut down that whole forrested area.
  22. Can't hardly blame them with the way the economy is going. We were supposed to get a C tire, Marks Workwear and restaurant here, the field is levelled, but on hold indefinitely.
  23. 1800 minutes a month...do you have some latent female genes unless you're the telemarketer. Here's the fuzzy thing..
  24. Well I think someone snowed you on that story, the Rogers cable comes in to my closest phone jack, switched via modem which connects all the other phones inn the house with the old phone cable. From the basement R/R phone, to the splitter by the power panel to all the other phone jacks in the house. All work for regular and portable phones.
  25. They may own the cable in the ground, they can stick it in their too, mine runs off TV cable, phone line is disconnected outside the house.
