After a walk through crown land last week, I think biting insects will be much worse than I anticipated. Water and shelter I've been learning and preparing for. Insect, not so much. I hate to use chemicals so I'll research natural alternatives, like types of plants, or dirt/mud.

Great advice, thanks. I just completed the non-restricted, and restricted, gun courses (brag: 100% on all 4 test!) and learned that you can get hunting insurance with $5M liability for very cheap. I'm sure any land owner willing to entertain the idea would require this, and it will help when...

I've seen the Alaskan season. It was good, informative. I was disappointed in Donny's early exit. I thought he'd win it easily. I want be watching another season though because the editing for dramatic effect is annoying, but more because I watched to pickup tips for myself, and the editing...

I'll be staying away from mushrooms, for sure. Unless I see a puffball, they're pretty unmistakable. I found crown land 30 minutes away, so there's an easy out. We also allotted 4 days, but I was clear to the kids (9yo boy and 17yo girl) that we can leave after the first night and regroup better...

Are there any other riders here that hunt or do bushcraft? For possibly controversial reasons, I decided to learn to bushcraft, as well as to hunt. I've been watching bushcraft videos on YouTube for several years, and been slowly gathering equipment. I've also been watching tutorials on field...

I have ridden a GSX750F since 2008, and really like it, but there's no luggage options, which I desperately wanted. So I came VERY close to buying a 2019 CBX 500. I even put a deposit on it. It was fully dressed and came with heated grips and a locking tank bag. The problem was, when I test rode...

I agree. What is the point of 0% beer? It doesn't taste that good that I'd want to pay alcohol-prices for piss-water.

Same here. If I had just one beer I'd yawn repeatedly, but a second beer would stop the yawning. Never understood why.

I used to like Guinness, years ago, but now prefer Kilkenny. I bought two cans near the end of last summer. One is still in my fridge. lol

I always tell people, an ice-cold beer on a hot day is enticing, but a watered-down apple cider, lemon-aid, and iced tea all taste much better.

I rarely drink either, and never to access. The rare occasions that I do, I'm home with the wife following an equally rare date night. After 5 drinks, I start to feel a numbness on my lips, and have never noticed any mental effect up to that point. By that time I'm too bloated to drink any more...

From Brantford:

I have a set of Crappy Tire knives, I think they're Master Chef or something similar. I've had them for about 5 years. I have 3 methods of sharpening them, depending on how much of a hurry I'm in at the time. I keep a jar next to the block and when a knife needs sharpening my wife put it in the...

Actually, that would have been a 40 minute ride one way, and the same price. I think the "dicking around" paid off.

Going by this, I did okay. The currency conversion is about a wash. BONUS: I didn't have to go to Hamilton and incur a traffic ticket. lol

I didn't. It was the weekend, my local Suzuki dealer is very small and doesn't have good hours. I just wanted this done and off my long list of things to do.

Nice! I've bookmarked it, and will check it out later. Thanks.

True, but the Suzuki dealer in my area is out of the way, and the hours fall under my working hours. I could have worked something out, by not for $15.

Thanks, I'll look into that!
