Zebra and quagga mussels are freshwater bivalves native to the Black Sea region of Eurasia. Both species were believed to have been introduced in the late 1980’s by ballast water from transoceanic ships carrying veligers (larvae), juveniles or adult mussels. Zebra and quagga mussels are...

. Emerald Ash Borer Since its accidental introduction into the United States and Canada in the 1990s, and its subsequent detection in 2002, the Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) has spread to 14 states and parts of Canada. It is estimated to have killed at least 100 million ash trees so...

-----> :) That's funny. I do have some stuff after my name but alas it's not a PhD. I can boast and be honest, I was an excellent student - but very definitely a lousy academic. I know, I know - you are going to ask how it was that I taught Community College for all those years? It could be that...

-----> Thanks! The comments are mine but the quote belongs to the Sergeant. He was suggesting that if they used a canoe they would be able to get the job done faster. That is open to debate. When posting I tend to keep things short to accommodate people's attention span. Some of the...

I do a lot of babbling about Green Horns, Tender Pads, Hopelessly Lost and Miss Fits on canoe trips. The reality is that I was all of those at one time. So what made the difference? It was the practice, planning and embracing the challenge. Practice means head knowledge through excellent...

I remember my first real live adventure canoe trip. Yep...I can remember it clearly now -----> Didn't bring a tent - used a tarp instead. Every bug and mosquito in Algonquin Provincial Park congregated at our site and stayed the whole lon.......g night. Didn't bring a sleeping bag - used...

-----> ...you forgot the new camera. I've put together and already improved my kitchen counter top, I made a new two person camp table, one night stand, and debating if I should take along a portable platform for my tent. I'm resident for three weeks the first time round. Other than that 90% of...

=====> You mean I could be rich? Be on one of those there Reality Shows? Stick my head in alligators jaws or get stung by a stingray barb like Steve Irwin? Man...I'm going to need a manager. :)

...ha ha. I do write journals for most of my trips and will take them off the shelf and read them on a stormy snowy night. I've been practising using a video camera to make a bit of an action presentation. An action camera is on my equipment list - we will see how it goes.

ARE YOU READY FOR MY CANOE GARBAGE STORY SPORT FANS? Well...I'll tell it anyway. :) It was one of those situations that a canoe buddy asked to bring a friend along on an interior trip. Right away I stiffened because I just don't canoe with people I don't know. Yep...he was a greenhorn...

...ya see now that was another ting I was tinkin of buyin. I wasn't thinking so much as hiking but canoeing. You loose your momentum when you stop to have a drink. I'll take it under advisement. I mean the hydration unit not the drinking. I've found a lot of things rewarding. I remember it...

Good question. Stay right there and I'll check it out. I'm back. It says 60 - 100 - 250 mbps in the GTA [Greater Toronto Area] but it varies widely from province to province. Toronto. Fastest ISP Rogers. Rogers is one of Canada's largest providers of high-speed Internet, cable television and...

=====> ...it's great stuff isn't it? We have a local AM station that plays "those old radio shows" from 10:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. [900 CHML Hamilton.] Corny, silly, ridiculous, probably booed off the stage today, BUT! just wholesome, slap stick, hilarious and down right good funny listening. And...

=====> :depressed: We were just young poor students looking for a cheap feast to do us over. He probably didn't have the right but we weren't going to argue with him. Speaking of John Pinnette - I'm guessing you have seen his skit "Goin Campin"?

=====> That's a funny story @Bibsoutdoors. It reminds me of the time six of us headed out for one of those "All you can eat for one price" places. We had been there before. On this occasion the manger of the place was there to greet us. "Not today boys," was all he said. Apparently on our...

=====> How true. I have a name for the people who leave their mess behind. I call them Trash Campers. Like you we take in extra bags to clean up after some. I just hate [but we do any way] picking up butts and beer bottle caps.

....well, everyone knows my interpretation of being tight and loose. The reality is one should be wearing clothing that fits properly, meets the environmental/social conditions and is age appropriate. That would be my guideline. Looks good on him, possibly, maybe, where and when?

=====> :bear: '"Hi." Baden Bear here, "I don't know why ND posted me here." Yes they are for real. I got mine from Cabela's. I can't remember the cost. I've had them for awhile now - because you can use them as often as you want until they wear out. You can get a large "baggie" type zip lock...
