That's a great looking pack Art D. Really nice work.

Wise words from Obi-Wan Chatobi.

Chip, Chip, Chip. Repeat after me. It was like this when I got here.

I'm thinking this Chatty GPT should become our writer in residence.

Don't fall for the "brushing my teeth" thing. This guy looks rabid.

The Caribbean sailing trip sounds wonderful John, I say go for it. I'm sure you'll both be well prepared for every eventuality. Like any trip half the fun will be in the planning. I've never sailed, much less spent much time far from shore, so my only sailing is done virtually via vloggers on...

"People can label it whichever to suit their own particular lifestyle plans."

The "canoe" has been subject to interpretations applied across cultures and continents, and has been reinterpreted/reinvented/redesigned ever since the first western European "discovered it". The words we've used to describe this craft have changed. To answer your question Glenn, the Monarch is...

Fire bans can be an inconvenience especially if you're used to cooking over wood fire. With that in mind I purchased a fuel stove this month. Round about the same time heavy rains swept in, doused some forest fires, resulting in the bans being lifted. Well I'd call that a win so far...

Best wishes and respect July 1st and July 4th. This is also our wedding anniversary. So a packed picnic lunch of tea and sandwiches and a wander down the trail. Later we'll spend some time in the garden pruning roses and picking strawberries. An evening counting fireflies and stars. Such is...

You now have a great choice of canoes Mem. Nice work. And speaking of which, I also admire your choice of excellent pop bottle openers.

I can maybe understand charging for demo day as a means of dissuading time-wasters and unserious Sunday loafers from going lily-dipping for something to do, besides snooping through open houses just to see how others live; but as a way to nickel and dime canoe shoppers I find it runs counter to...

AFAIK in Canada canoeists and kayakers must pack along a bailer or manual bilge pump. Bailers must be metal or plastic, hold at least 750 mL, and have an opening of 9 cm in diameter. To its credit, Transport Canada encourages you to fashion your own by cutting the bottom off a 4-L plastic jug...

I've never heard of such weird flavour combinations, but they're crazy enough they might just work. They are going on my try it list.

A fire ban appears to still be in place. It will take some time Rick before conditions change.

Is paper map reading becoming a lost skill? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/maps-cartography-skill-1.6871726

Ha ha. That's a good question. You know you've got a selective chooser when they spend way too long with a hand in the bag. There's a variety of trail mix options in stores (Bulk Barn, GoodnessMe) but we tend to throw together our own. High prices have even hit the nuts, fruit, and gorp market.

What are Cuties? I googled it and wish I hadn't.

I'm not a fruit cake foodie but the light version is fancy fine for teas with the in-laws. The dark goes with everything, tea, coffee, and stronger stuff. Where would New Year's be without that pairing!? I forgot dried bb's. Yes they are good, and never seem to last in this house. They (fresh...
