  1. Anyone go this year,looks as if it was quite lively.
  2. Alarms as well?Sadly my timepieces are more decorative than functional
  3. My son lives in Florida but is up in Canada at the moment thankfully,been in a few typhoons in the past,and a derecho last year in Ontario that blew roofs off and snapped trees like twigs.
  4. Seen a couple of beaver dams yesterday in small streams in the town,urban beaver,looks like they are using the drainage ditches to travel along.
  5. Come over (through the magic changing room) I will show you chipmunks as soon as you arrive,I will video and you can do it,they are as fast as lightening and would bite like rats,I used to hand catch rats as a kid,these don’t have a nice long tail to hold.I would have trapped them as a kid,but it’s nice nowadays just to watch them.
  6. Never,I like themThey are nice little things,more colourful and less brash than squirrels,the local stores sell squirrel and gopher traps but no chipmunk traps,in general people like seeing them around,sometimes they run around your feet expecting to be fed.They are scared of squirrels and always back down.
  7. I wear it on my wrist sometimes.
  8. Hopefully spending time with his daughter and relaxing while recuperating.
  9. You running ‘Shine across the state line again Charts?
  10. Had them eating from my hands.
  11. I am as punctual as a Swiss chronometer,the girl has made herself unemployable to a large number of employers,she has made a follow-up video saying she can’t help her tardiness as it’s due to some health issue.

    Cymag

    Couple of ways to get fish out of a river and leave no trace you were there.Seen reef bombing and cyanide fishing in the Philippines.
  13. My kid just sent me this,Chipmunk in the Canadian Rockies.
  14. My youngest son is kicking about in Canada with his soon to be wife,he phoned me earlier “Dad we saw two moose and a coyote this morning” “You wanker you should have waited for me to get up there”…..”Remember what you always told me dad you snooze you lose”, finally making his own way in the world,he has been to maybe 15 countries already since he was a kid,I think he will go far.

    Flights wtf

    I would not recommend flying Aeroflot tovarich.
  16. That would certainly separate the men from the boys.
  17. That’s him mate,he was skinny/lean,he wasn’t like some of them,stood out because he was almost reserved,I didn’t know he was on Joe Rogan,I shall watch that.The Brit show is filmed in sask where Ted Newgent who used to post on the forum now lives.There was another Alone type show years ago,Scottish? Guy dropped in Northern Canada and left alone,had to be rescued as he ended up starving?
  18. Wolverine have a reputation,but the guy finished it with his axe,moral of the story never take a wolverine to an axe fight.
  19. I was walking slowly down a trail keeping an eye on both sides a few days ago,a lady came along when she got level with me she said “Hi,are you looking for something?Have you lost something?” I said I haven’t lost anything thank you,just looking for snakes.She laughed “No need to look for them around here,they come and find you”. Lol

    Flights wtf

    Any form of compensation offered?United (abysmal airline)offered Jack even though my flight was delayed/postponed for a few days,I have travelled with third world airlines that gave better (but also far worse) service.
  21. Thousands of them here,I have seen a few other species but they don’t hang around.
  22. I saw one filmed in Canada a few weeks ago,brutal temperatures,the first one to jack did so after 8 days,Californian guy with perfectly manicured hair and matching beard,he was crying on day 7 as he missed his family.The ones who stuck it out longest were laid-back and knew the game,not eccentrics at all,the winner was a geezer,killed a moose then when a wolverine came for his moose he killed it with an axe (you see it’s guts where he whacked it across the side),temps were down to -40’s but he was snug as a bug in a rug,the lady who I thought would win was in it for the long haul was airlifted
