    Getting parts from the us to Canada

    My dad needs some kind of new nozzle for the furnace in his Land Yacht. He can only find one in the States.

    Anyone else having trouble sighting their target?

    I was out for a hunt today with my trusty old 308 with Iron sights. Haven't used her in a few years. I had the opportunity to take a nice two point from about 150 yards. I couldn't see the #*#*#*g sights on the gun! I have another gun with a scope I can use, but I like to shoot open sights...

    Before I go Re wiring things

    I'm looking for some advice I run a couple of older Lowrance LCX112 plotters. I was going over the boat before a trip to Bamfield next week, and when I fired up my plotters one shut down after about a minute. I switched out the head for my spare thinking it was the head.

    Thriftys Nacho Chips

    Does anyone know who made the Thriftys Nacho Chips? They were by far my favourite nacho chip. I have tried every brand I can find, and for the most part, they are bland chips that taste like cardboard, and break when you dip them in salsa. I have a garden full of tomatoes and I want to make...

    Trolling for Halibut

    There has been a bit of chatter about trolling for halibut recently. I usually just drift for them, but often think that trolling would cover more ground.

    Lets take DFO to court

    DFO has basically shut down the south coast to salmon fishing. Some will argue that there are areas open to fish, but in reality for the majority of us we are sitting at home for most of the summer. April Fools has come and gone with promises of a decision coming soon. And yet we are all just...

    I just put a deposit on a 17kw grid tie solar array for my house and barns. It will generate enough power to meet 100% of my yearly power consumption. I'm kind of excited. Who else is doing this?
