    Spending the night

    I think digging a cave to get out of the wind is a good idea but sitting or laying on the snow with even 6" of fir branches I found it cold. I needed fire. I started it with a rag I put down my gas tank. I then took everything out o my pack to see what I had (3 beer and 2 chocolate bars as far...

    Spending the night

    In March it will be 3 years since I spent the night at Blue Lake. The temperature went down to -17. The most important thing in my pack was my skill folding saw, I cut 4" to 6" trees and bucked them up into 3' lengths to keep my fire going. It was a busy night sawing wood to keep the fire going...

    Ford truck stolen from the Days Inn last Wed. night

    My buddies truck was taken with 2 sleds on it. The truck was recovered in Kelowna on Friday without the sleds with damaged door panel and steering column. Guess, I thought that staying in Revelstoke at the Days was more secure or that it was a place that wasn't hit by theives (my thinking anyways).

    Cat guy for 25 years maybe a Doo guy next year

    $ dollars aside, after trying all three brands doo was on top in my opinion. It climbed well, stayed on top of )snow the best, Carving felt smooth, Its sidehill was a bit jumpy (skip out) but still controllable.
