  1. They both already have them! Hence the numbers!
  2. EPIC!! http://camp4collective.com/films/cascada/ (jayhad, here's one for ya - look for the SUP sequence!) Enjoy! P
  3. If you could do a little longer drive why not hit up Barnaby or Rainy Ridge for some Goldens?! If you do go, please don't have a fire... Lots of people chopping down green trees for wood and the ecosystem can't handle it!! Lots of options in Banff NP and Kootney NP... Just depends if you are wanting to keep or not and if you are willing to pay for a campsite...
  4. LOVE Village Blacksmith!!
  5. Don, for future reference Earl's house brand beers are brewed by Big Rock (as are Co op brand beers)! P
  6. Welcome! Lots of reports out in the last few days... Take a look around the site and you will find the info you seek!
  7. Personally I don't think the quality is even close to the Outcast which is made in the USA (as far as I know) vs the Sea Eagle which is made in China. So not worth it! P
  8. Jesus Taco, you must be rich if you can afford $20 hemos!!
  9. I heard from a member who's bro-in-law works for CP, that it is Jet fuel in the containers!! Yikes!!
  10. Gang, I had a request get passed down to me... A landowner (below gravel pit) has had some cattle stranded and needs to get to them to get them some food and move them to another pasture.... I guess they have been stranded without food since the beginning, so time is of the essence. Needs some transport across the river. Can any of you jet guys lend a hand?! I have a copy of the contact info on my cell... PM me and I can pass it along. Don't have a lot of info at this point but I can probably get some more if necessary... I have contact info (name/numbers) and general address... Thanks, Peter
  11. TU does this with volunteers!
  12. Salmon are anadramous!!
  13. A raft with a rowing frame is not as easy to row as a drift boat (doesn't track as easily and takes more effort to manouver), not as easy to stand up and cast (even with a casting platform) and will get tossed around easily in the wind (not sure there is a big difference compared to a high side driftboat). Stores easier as you can just deflate & roll and break down the frame. Obviously a raft is better in class III rapids and greater (with an experienced operator) as that's a raft's primary purpose. Drift Boat is specific to fishing, raft is not, but does the job "OK". That being said, if I was given one or found one at a decent price I would probaly get it! Best to consider a quality manufacture (Aire) as opposed to a cheapo (Saturn). Materials and care will influence longevity. A good quality raft used specifically for fishing that is well taken care of can last up to 15 years (A raft used for White Water rafting, not as long - Commercial operators rotate their rafts every few years - after numerous repairs). A fishing buddy has access to one and we take it out quite often, I have also been a WW rafting guide in Idaho. Consider something at least 12'. P
  14. Talk to Murray he uses one... A few other (similar) systems out there as well... We use a McMerdo Fast Find PLB - Used only in Emergency Situations to "send in the troops" (for rescue), as my wife is usually with me so don't need to contact her on a regular basis. We also have rescue insurance through the American Alpine Club (Up to $10,000 with a few specifics. It is free with membership - $175 for a family membership annually) as we also do a lot of backcountry skiing, canoeing and backpacking. So a little bit different then the SPOT type systems. From what I have read with the SPOT, tree coverage will limit the sat signal (maybe that was just with the older model - which had a lot of other issues, as well - I think they improved it). For mostly remote river stuff should be fine, though the yearly subscription can add up. P
  15. Hope he's not fishing streamers!! Gives a whole new perspective on "chuck and duck"!! LoL
  16. Keeping food in a cooler and containers in your vehicle is fine!
  17. Yeah pretty common with placing waypoints at the various locations. I'm sure a lot of guys do it. Kinda takes the fun out of it in my opinion... But each to their own!
  18. No I think it's directly related to it being in a PP!!
  19. Well for starters... If you are referrring to your wife as the "ball and chain" you may want to change that approach and be less derogitory, might help your cause!!
  20. Over priced everything! It is after all the Sham-pede!
