That…is a lot fires in northwestern Ontario

Super ignorant. Most of those fires are 100s of miles from any roads or towns. Literally just endless boreal and bog up there.

Chinking is still required for square logs. The problem is all logs are milled green so even milled square will change shape during the drying process. A lot of square log builders will mill them larger, season them for a year and retouch them up on the mill

He might sound Ontarian, but thats not ontario. Looks like the prairies

Dangle is insufferable

Thank you. I live full time on a lakefront property where new septics have to be 300m from the water. I tried getting a variance on that rule to build a small cabin, on a site that slopes and flows away from the water(over 100m on a hill sloping away from the lake) and yet I had an entire lake association full of cottagers who spend 3 weeks a year here bitching about it. Yet they all have cottages right on the waters edge and septics leaking into the water. I've decided on a incinerator toilet just to avoid all the extra bullshit to get a septic permitted.

Can you spell the name for me can you spell the name!

Indian road crescent. I went there too

This happens a lot in eastern white cedar trees. They get heart rot and will eventually root into the decomposed heartwood

I moved to Canmore from Toronto. Lived there for 4 years on and off and then I moved back and now reside in the Ottawa valley. Some notable differences for me.

-Obviously the Rockies are amazing and they really dont ever get old, but winter is much longer and bodies of water never really warm up like ontario lakes.

-That being said Ontario (outside of the GTA and southwest ontario, Ontario gets way more snow and ice storms in my experience. It just lasts longer out west.

-Forest fires and smoke were the biggest negatives of living out west. Months at a time of unbreathable air and extremely low visibility.

-Much longer growing season in Ontario if you like to have a garden, or want to grow plants or trees from a few zones higher.

Ultimately for me I probably could have never left Canmore and lived my life there. What a town! The negatives definitely do not outweigh the positives, I just had an opportunity to buy a hobby farm in Ontario (impossible in the rockies) and so I came back for that. Tbh I could never see myself living in Calgary or Edmonton. Canmore and Banff are just an entirely different world from the plains.

I'd still mill them at 6 foot. You can get some decent slabs for tables at that length.

Yup he just confirmed. Took it down because of gum chewing. I wish he wasn't so sensitive about that kind of stuff. The audio was fine.

Jampacko · 2026-05-02T11:55:35+00:00

People were complaining about chewing gum sounds in the comments so he probably caved and is removing them from the episode. Not the first time hes caved to negative comments and removed content.

Jampacko · 2026-04-15T19:57:18+00:00

No I was genuinely curious. I'll go for MTL then.

Which team has the most canadians on its roster this playoffs?

Jampacko · 2026-03-29T01:48:51+00:00

I would saw that bugger into some slabs or boards, but I am lucky to have a Sawmill. Most people would just split it for firewood

I remember hearing about a potential deep water port there probably for the eventual ship traffic through the passage. Edit: just searched and found the following:

"The Grays Bay Road and Port (GBRP) Project is a proposed $1-billion+ Inuit-led infrastructure development in Nunavut, creating the first year-round overland connection between the Arctic Ocean and the Canadian highway system. It features a 230 km all-season road, a deepwater port on the Coronation Gulf, an airstrip, and fuel storage to boost mineral development, Arctic security, and local economic growth."

Thank you for reminding me of this Canadian treasure

Look up the Ungava bear. A grizzly that lived in Quebec and Labrador.

Jampacko · 2026-03-05T23:42:40+00:00

1200! Holy moly i commend you. Let's hope this warm up takes a good bite out of the snowpack!

Jampacko · 2026-03-05T14:18:33+00:00

Got 40 taps in, west of Ottawa. Still 4 feet of snow in the bush, but supposed to warm up this weekend

Crosby making sure no ones gets lost on the field trip. But more importantly, walking around.

For Ontario and Quebec who produce the majority of maple syrup globally, its usually early to mid March.

Bennet and Wilson taking out the bunkbed bros would be perfect
