Alberta Fire Ban to Stop OHV Use to 60% of The Province

Lem Lamb · Apr 15, 2020

Yes,,, me to,,, but I find it wize to try anything that is better than sitting at home...

Maybe by taking it caucus by not involving the power sports thing which might lower the risks doing what we're doing...

Risks happen at home,,, the front yards or driving our automobiles,,, walking into the forests might be safer than staying at home...

75% of all Canadians are struggling with cabin fever,,, this is very unhealthy and can only be cured by fishing the lakes and streams,,, long walks in the forest,,, a propane fire place,,, biking,,, swimming,,, boating,,, hot air balloon rides,,, ultralite lite or kite sailing...

The best cure over all of these is sitting in your lawn chair with the propane bbq,,, lots of food to eat,,, a healthy drink of choice,,, and an afternoon nap,,, at least 2 or 3 of them...

Read a book,,, relax and take on living life full bore,,, angry,,, mad and frustrated are fake words,,, dont follow that bs...

Positive,,, active,,, pro-active,,, and heart spark that allows us to live the best of quality of life we can...

Shake off the blues,,, its always a sunny day even if its raining or snowing...

Scout out some game trails,,, shoot the bows,,, a bit of rifle practic,,, check the bear baits... propane bbq smokey dogs with all the fixings,,, check out 7 river landings...
Drive the roads,,, map some way points,,, and a few naps...

Lots of coffeee for me...

Life is gooder,,, and it waits for no one... is it the life you want to live,,, or the life that you did live...

Always more wrong then right,,, I to wish that things aren't what they are,,, but I find it wize to at least try different ways to continue on with the good times...

I might even try a 1 to 2 mile run since its something i haven't tried in 37 years... ha

Thought we were done with this way of thinking when we go rid of miss Shannon and her nip cronies, fire ban, there is two feet of snow . Jason needs to fix this ,thought he was looking after us.Premier Kennedy needs to remember we’re all his votes came from . And this indigenous thing is getting old.

I don’t believe in spark arrestors. I’ve seen them get covered in carbon and mud and bake on there and then later fall or get blown off. Exhausts run way hotter with them as well. I’ve seen more issues with smouldering debris falling off pipes than a spark arrestor actually stopping a spark from flying out of a pipe. Generally I can touch my slip on after normal riding conditions. Can’t do that with a stock or one that’s plugged off with a screen or quiet core.

Spark arrestors are a maintenance item. Once a year pull it out and use a propane torch to get it red hot. All the carbon burns off and it looks like new.
Check the manual on any small engine including chainsaws , lawnmowers , weed eaters etc.

I guess my argument is that a free flowing exhaust runs cooler. Heat is actually allowed to escape with the exhaust, meaning lower temps not only for the engine, but also the exhaust pipe and muffler. I’ve seen more instances of smouldering debris falling off of pipes, from out behind heat shields on factory mufflers than anything else. Baffles, screens and quiet cores all add to bottling up that exhaust and running hotter temps. I have machines with 100% stock exhaust systems, modified stock systems and wide open aftermarket. I’ll trust the wide open aftermarket one over not starting a fire over a stock one any day.

I know one thing,,, I'll go back to the old way of camping less the ohv thing if I have to,,, anything else is better than nothing...

Who cares if i walk to the top of a mountain or stick to the trail at bottom,,, paddle across the beaver pond or float down the river,,, sitting in the trees in my lawn chair is better than nothing...

No one said that we cant go for day hikes or camping on crown lands,,, its not my fault i live in the cab of my truck which allows me to go off grid...

Maybe I'll borrow a horse for a few month's if i choose to travel deep into the back woods,,, mountain bike with gear or even a wheel barrel since a person can pack alot of crap into one and cover alot of ground...

I'll add-mit that im 1 of those fat lazy people with wron out body parts,,, maybe this """you can't""" do this right now is a good thing,,, not really,,, but whats the alternative... stay at home like a mushroom in the dark or put the boots on the ground...

My plan for 2020 is creek fishing with no fishing line this year,,, thats right,,, no fishing line since its more fun finding the fishing areas then it is actually trying to fish...ha... at least for me that is...

No one said we can't island hop with our vehicles from trail head to trail head like the old days,,, drive to the next spot,,, check out the trail on foot,,, go to next spot,,, repeat as needed...

I'll be busy doing what I do this year just like last year,,, glassing the hills,,, hiking the trails,,, relaxing in a chair and visting with a good book or telling true bs stories on Mud & Sand,,,, Ha...

Any who,,, the day is underway,,, got to run since life for me is on the go... Kows to check,,, trails to explore and make sure that the beavers don't flood more pasture land...

Life is gooder if we choose to get at it,,, that's what really counts...

Just a curious question..... Who has stock exhaust on their atv still, and the "stock spark arrester" in the tailpipe still?

I've never taken the stock exhaust off of any of my ATVs.
I like them quiet.

Im guessing we can start seeing the OHV bans coming this week to areas.

Yes, most likely. They need to also start addressing the people that toss there cigarette butts out the window. Seen many people doing that lately, this will start a fire quite easily

Did you hear officially or just kind of a guess?

Lem Lamb · Apr 27, 2020

Fire band will lift when the rains roll in...

Ye Ha

Ohv,,, Rain,,, Camping,,, Good Times...

Still Mountain bike time for us for a few more months...

Did you know that the first ohv was humans walking,,, followed by horse power,,, the pedal bike showed up after that...

All good since us humans are can adapt with changes when change is needed...

If not,,, then sit at home going Whooooose Me,,, Ha

Get off the apple box and get at life,,, like I mentioned manny a times,,, life waits for no one,,, never has and never will...

The life you want to live or the life you did live,,, pick 1 and see how it works out...

Got to run,,, chours at the farm,,, pedal bike power building,,, more sight seeing as normal,,, and lots of other things in my world...

Time for us to look at the positives in our lives,,, none of this glass half full crap,,, top the dam thing off and lets get at living life at some of the things that improve the quality for us and others around us...

Lets hear some win win ideas instead...

Oh Yha...

Fat Lem,,, Zoom Zoom

Agree but I think he is correct unless we get rain .
Took a drive yesterday and people ,bikes , atv’s ,utv’s everyplace enjoying the out doors . Awesome
Dry grass and lots of wind the last few days with a few showers in our area so all good .
But that changes quick .
Until all the foliage and things are green the hazard changes quick as you know .
Cool damp weather and all good .
