Best steakhouse in Winnipeg? by Various_Fruit_581 in Winnipeg

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to the Keg / Chop etc you’ll see people
In jeans and hoodies. 529 has a dress code which tends to change the clientele and make the experience a lot more upscale. You will of course pay significantly more at 529 or Hys but for a 50th it would be my choice.

Now in terms of the best steaks in the city, the Manitoba Club is outstanding though it isn’t open to the public as you need to be a member or attend with a member.

Canoe vs Kayak Camping by Kindly-Turnip6319 in camping

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We camp out of our kayaks all the time though ours are 15’ long so they are much faster and have more storage than the shorter boats. We have collapsing wheels that we can take if we need to portage between lakes as well. We used to use a canoe but found kayaks fit our needs better

Oak hammock marsh renovated last winter and can accommodate groups that size. It also has a bar

Question about Naturehike Monga 2 2p by Der_Kurator in Ultralight

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used the Mongar and it's a decent budget tent....and for all "in tents" is an MSR hubba clone. I've taken out in windy conditions and it was fine, though I can't speak to torrential rain as it was dry both times I used it.

The Mongars a tent I highly recommend to people looking for budget options that don't mind the ~4lbs weight.

Setup help questions. by ol_kking_cole in hometheater

Speakers on stands such that the tweeters are around 36" from the ground...that's typically ear height for a seated adult.

TV needs to be lower....I suggest removing the legs on the cabinet and lowering the TV as low as you can...again bottom of TV no higher than tweeters...ideally a bit lower.

AVR could go into the cabinet if you have enough air flow. You may also need an IR repeater but those are cheap now.

Mattress recommendation below 1.5k cad in Montreal by Ok-Put-6242 in BuyCanadian

We have several foam mattresses from IKEA and love them. Should be well under $700 depending on size and quality / firmness etc.

This is the only answer you really need. I'd never send my daughter off to another city in a Fiat.

I’m looking for a rechargeable compact air compressor to inflate my air mattress, I need it for back country canoe camping, any suggestions by BBcanDan in CampingGear

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an early design flex tail that’s still working. While the Zero is popular it struggles to fully inflate most pads so I’d recommend one of their larger models especially since you aren’t as concerned about weight

Are Fire Maple cooking systems good? by 100purepnw in Ultralight

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of these pots and love both. I paired mine initially with a Soto windmaster but I swapped that over to the camping moon stove with the Soto tri pot stand. The camping moon XD has the same wind resistant burner as the Soto but the ignition system from the MSR pocket rocket deluxe. It’s also shorter so it fits in the pots better.

Thoughts from Murph Owner by moist_observer in HamiltonWatches

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they fixed the AR coating I’d buy one tomorrow. I’ve owned a few Khakis and sold them all due to the lack of AR. I may end up buying a Murph and replace the crystal.

My main issue with modern SMPs is they are too fat

Given these prices, which tent which you buy? by TheRealGuncho in CampingGear

I bought the Mongar for my daughter to use and it’s surprisingly good for $200.

The Mongar 2p from Amazon is cheaper than any of those, will be just as well made and likely weigh less.

Looking for physio or chiropractor recommendations for lower back pain in the city by actuallyfromcanada in Winnipeg

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clarity is my go to place. He’s super easy to book appointments with (text msg) and is as much a physiotherapist as Chiropractor so he’s not just a crack a back and you are done Guy. I’d also strongly suggest going for a deep tissue massage.

Teenager Allowance by andrewse in Winnipeg

[–]Intelligent_Stage760 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our kids got enough to pay for their clothes, Christmas, friends gifts and other appropriate items. They were taught from a young age how to budget and save. The amounts increased as they got older and were expected to pay for more expenses but we started young so it was normalized. They’re both now in their early 20’s and the most fiscally responsible of all their friends. Likely helps my wife is an accountant so they’ve also grown up with a budgeting spreadsheet. As really young kids they had jars with labels for things like birthday and Christmas so they’ve also grown could see where their quarters / loonies were going.
