Welcome to Camping Babble! You have started off with a bang, nice picture. You'll find we love pictures and videos here. Looks like possibly new camp gear? I'm looking at it on my phone, so I need to blow it up to see for sure. It's customary for us to tell you that there are a lot of good people here...because there are good people here. We all look forward to getting to know you better and sharing ourselves with you. You are as I said earlier doing it right, feel free to jump in anywhere, comment on or star a new post. If you have gear you've tried and found you're very fond of, there is a section that you can highlight and share that something special. Forum topics are clear go in pick your interest and post or start something new. The people here love to talk camping. Any aspect that you enjoy, you will find someone here that enjoys it as much as you. The folks here are respectful and polite and I think you'll find they also have a lot of experience under their belts. If you wish to know something chances are, you will find an answer here. But don't be fooled either, we can learn from you as well and look forward to talking with you. So, welcome. Jump in....well be talking soon! Bibsoutdoors
Thanks Bibsoutdoors! Yes all new to me gear. Been a few years since I've been out and about, work for Parks Canada so summertime is my busy time. Going to try to make some time for quiet brain time. I grew up in the outdoors so just trying to get back to what always brought me joy growing up. So yes I'll do my best to "report back" on the forum.

Excellent!...welcomeerr..I mean @TroyCA, glad to have you with us. Yep - I've got my Parks Canada Pass and I'm looking at the Georgian Bay area to use the same. I'm going to have a busy summer too - the way I like it. I start tomorrow morning - bright and early.

Excuse by humble friend from eastern Tennessee, he meant to say, "Welcome from the BEAUTIFUL hills of east Tennessee." He's shy so he is reluctant to tell you he lives in a stunningly beautiful location. Just thought I'd try to help him out and give you 'the rest of the story.' Baahaaaa!

THAT'S JUST RUDE!! Giggle! Wow, you have every right to be, but alas, Canada is excluded from being allowed to play the game...I believe you've been banned. Your country has been found to have taken performance enhancing steroids resulting in unfair competition! HaaaHaaa!Thanks guys. Well I'm not shy about being proud of where I am from !!

You are an experienced camper - sooooo good to see. What kind of tent is that? And where might that tent have been set up? I've only been to Cape Breton Island once and it was a side trip.

Fantastic. I'm assuming that MEC is Mountain Equipment Co-op? They have just open a new store in my neck of the woods.
Yes it is. Great gear in my experience. That's cool that they are spreading out.

-----> You sound a bit like me Dude. Let's see -> do you have ten tents? It must be a fetish I have or some other weird peculiarity. I have three Alaknaks, two T-pees, one Outback Lodge and four tripping tents and assortment of tarps, and...well, you get the picture.
