When the safety of others is in question those that think this way need to be governed. I see MANY 4x4's in the ditch in the centre of the highway because they think that 4x4 is the magic answer. "Flipping the switch" does not make one invincible no matter how good a driver we think we are. BTW I drive a 4x4 truck so I consider myself similarly.

A few comments on this thread. Yes, snow tires do make a difference, in most Winter weather. Buy quality, not cheap ultra low price point tires. Don't put them on too early or leave them on too long. You can destroy a set of winter tires in a month or two of warm/hot weather driving. Soft compound and tread patterns will not stand up. I know winter tires are not cheap, but, avoid buying used. You have no idea of the history of the tires. Unless you know what to look for they could have been repaired. BTW it is illegal to repair a flat tire with a plug from the outside. When you change from summers/all season to winter, PLEASE make sure that wheels are re-torqued after 100km or so. Most tire stores and dealers will do this at NC and it only takes a few minutes.

Thought that they were penguins for a minute!😀

Haven'l watched any of them for 30+ years. Got tired of the hootin' and hollerin'. Tried again one Sat a few years ago and it was a 30 min infomercial!

Great job, as always Chris!

Loved Alaska. Particularly Ketchikan.

Very nice Brian. Keep up the good work. Your reputation is spreading far and wide!

A true work of art Chris.

That blank has amazing character Chris. Don't think I have known you to give up on a piece so you will get there. Absolutely love it and can imagine how it will look!

Great photos Barry! Very Happy Thanksgiving to you both. As we are all bragging lol., we celebrated our 50th this year. Hoping for many more. Seems like when I joined up here 20 odd years ago we were all young whippersnappers!

Work of art Chris, wouldn't expect anything less from you...🎣 Seems about time for breaky, or lunch, or dinner to catch up. Would love to see that handsome pup of yours.

Dark for sure Chris...

Nice, can't wait to see the finished rod..

I have a 2019 Rebel that I've had from new. Love it. Gas mileage can be decent on the highway if you have a lighter foot or using cruise.

Our CTC is the same, All decked out. Having said that Costco had Snow Suits on the shelves in July!

Love the contours of the cork. Reel seat position is perfect. I guess we have similar tastes in classic simplicity. Not sure I would have the cojones to actually fish that reel, having said that I'm not one for leaving it on the shelf. Well done Chris, another masterpiece pairing.

Just putting this out there. Anyone fish this lake recently or maybe camp or cottage on this lake. Seems a search gives conflicting information as to species. Any information positive or negative would be appreciated.

Happiest Anniversary you two. May you have 35 more. Sainthood is well earned TJ 😁

Love old school build

I have a hard 3 fold cover on my RAM Rebel and on my previous F150. Wouldn't do it again as I find it too difficult (heavy) to fold. It appears to have got heavier, maybe the core absorbs water??

How was your trip?

If you do a search there are threads on Cochrane fly ins. enough reading for your Sunday morning coffee for sure...🙂

Great work as usual Chris.

New tires on your band saw?😁 Great work as always Chris. Antler seat not for me but love your work.
