Ontario BS Thread

Lol. Currently planning for the ardbeg trip. Been nearly 10 years since i stayed in a tent. Gotta get a ton of gear.

 

if you're getting gear together, make a proper gear list. i wanna audit it

(as in i want to steal the list for myself)

 

Well, fuck... everyone remove the stickers, burn the hoodies and any other signage with TEC... we aren't original, thanks @Joe23...
/s

 

Back to C.U.N.T. club name I guess!
Membership is $35/month and you get fcuk off nothing for it, might give you a sticker if I feel it. (we did have stickers at some point, Pepperidge farm remembers..)

 

As long as you don't remind inevitably missing half your stuff- sounds good!

 

As a self appointed spokespeoplekindpersondaughter for @Thyces who formally coined the phrase...what's his cut?

I miss @Joe23 ... I met him first. For my first TW express to Leo (does Leo get a flag honourship? He porpoised in the no go hole afterall)

 

In a typical C.U.N.T. style all contributors receive “thank you” and a pat on the shoulder.
How time flies, neither of them on TW that often

here you go @Shveet

Feel free to edit and add (goes for anyone)

 

@Norilsk can we get that printed on a club T-shirt?

 

It’s probably missing half of what is needed, but hey, I guess that makes it even more true to life

 

Also I need tent suggestions (2 people). Dug my old one out and mice got to it.

 

I like the missing O ring for the Jet Boil.
How about forgot the meat for the sandwiches at home and had to eat only bread all weekend?

 

I’m happy with my gazelle. Kinda big, but for truck camping it’s nice. Fits me, the wife and dog.

 

depends how much you want to put in.

I was gonna suggest the MEC CAMPER 3 or 4 but does not seem to be a thing anymore which is actually a shame because i love that tent....

Most "2 person" tents will fit 2 people and nothing more. I recommend getting 3 or 4 person if you want to bring in a bag or anything more.

 

to some people, it's the end of the world when they dont have a working jet boil for morning coffee.

 

was just looking at Gazelle's website;
I spy with my little eye, one of us!


But honestly, yeah the Gazelle looks awesome, super quick to put up.
How was it at the airfield? i forgot if you had to stake it down or not.

 

Second the gazelle t4. Going from a backpacking 2 person it was a game changer for truck camping.

 

DIBS ON MAYOR AGAIN



First order of business, what GPS/ sat phone system should i look into for solo traveling to Whitehorse?
I know Garmin came up with the inreach mini 2 not long ago and it has some nice stuff to it. for $20 a month i can still ping people with a few texts but mostly can send presets and drop a live map of where i'm at to family but the $550 price tag hurts a bit. Could always get CB....

 

The mini goes on sale regularly for $80 off. After much over analysis I decided to get the mini. It really is the only real insurance if you are off the beaten track and out of cell service. The lower cost spot devices that require a phone app to send 2 way messages was a limiting factor against as the mini still allows custom 2-way messages to be clicked through on its interface.

 

You got a 6' bed, this makes it a 7' long tent: https://www.partsengine.ca/110761-vp-rightline-gear-233.aspx
