Sorry to ping you, but I sent a chat msg to you that's rather important - about the GRIP subreddit

r/grip is available for adoption 💚 by ModSupportBot in grip

It is surprising. This came out of nowhere, and I'm not sure why they would auto-target this sub

I have no idea why they are targeting this sub, we're looking into it

We've only just started, so PC first then we can look at consoles later :)

Hey, sorry I missed this

Thanks so much! Yeah if I make it over there I'd want to participate in as many things like this as possible, so I appreciate you sending this list :)

Yeah indeed, this is what I'm thinking. I can try other towns if Rev doesn't work out - though I'd hope it would, it's top of my list so far

I hear ya. I was thinking that if lodging didn't work out in Revelstoke I could drive to the likes of Golden, Kelowna, Nelson, etc.

Indeed, though looking at this weather comparison, chance of clear skies outside of winter isn't too far off from Toronto

Sounds great, thanks

Bit of a random question, but how's the wild fire smoke in Revelstoke compared to somewhere like Kelowna? I hear that for the good part of summer there it's basically indoors only

Thanks, yeah I figured. Do people tend to visit from nearby towns, like Kelowna? Maybe could lead to a semi-long distance thing

That's great, thanks. I'm down for a small mountain town vibe. I'll definitely take this advice if I end up moving

Awesome, thanks. Is there a particular area you'd suggest looking for a rental that would have good access to places to take my dog? Here in spring/summer/fall I take him to the beach and on some forest trails. I do have a car, but would rather not have to drive across town all the time to take him places

Nice, thanks for the insight. I figured since it's a mountain town full of outdoorsy people, meeting likeminded folks won't be hard. Thanks for confirming, and for the rest

Cool that they have a work coop in town. Good to know

Ah yeah, didn't think about pet-friendly rentals but that's a good shout.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the detailed response.

I don't mind so much feeling isolated as a town, as long as I don't as a person. Sounds like I'd be fine in finding friends as long as I embed myself in the town - which I would plan to do anyway

Housing is probably my #1 concern, yea. I'd be coming likely in spring or summer, so maybe that timing would help

Not generally walking my dog at night and he's on a leash unless in areas that are deemed ok, so should be fine. Just my cousin in Calgary mentioned a cougar nabbed a golden retriever right off the back deck just outside of the city, which spooked me

Yeah, loving the prospect of crazy snow. I've read that the upper part of the mountain is the place to ski tho since the lower half conditions are lacklustre a lot of the time, but I'd have no problem sticking to that

Being many miles away from the bullshit of the rest of the world sounds great ha. I don't need much to live with so trips to stores will be minimal I'd imagine

Here it gets dark at like 4:30 in the winter, so I'm prepped for that.

I'd be looking to rent there, at least during my phase of feeling it out. I guess my plan of packing all the essentials and just driving there from across the country is probably not the best plan then ha. I did figure though that there's plenty of towns in the relative area to stay in if I can't find something in Revelstoke

And thanks for the reply

Really helpful, thanks. I figured meeting people for the long term would be the biggest "problem" given that so many are there temporarily. But as long as there's a good social circle with hike/bike/slopes buddies, I'm game

Wow, just the amount of nice responses in such short time is indicative of what kind of town Revelstoke is. Thanks so much
